On today’s episode I really want to spark a conversation about what home feels like.

I recently moved house again for the 8th time and I couldn’t help feeling the heavy emotions of how home has never felt like home. I talk about my family home, how renting has never given me true peace and how my future home will have a frickin gas hob because who the hell enjoys roti on an induction hob. 

Have you thought about what you would like your space to feel like? Let me know ! 

Thank you to everyone who has engaged with my pod, sending love ! 

Enjoy! <3

As if life isn’t long enough, then you’ve got a chat shit auntie telling you to lose weight but they’re still carrying the “BAbY wEIgHt” for 30 years. 

On today’s episode, I’m a tad triggered but we get straight into the history and culture of chat shift aunties, what they really like to gossip about, why they gossip and some of my awful experiences. 

Drop me a DM if you’ve had any chat shit aunties talk about you!!! 

ENJOY! ❤️

Get ready for a candid conversation about body hair, self-acceptance, and spirituality! In this episode of Amma Brown Girl, I'm sharing my personal experiences with waxing, lasering, and ultimately, embracing my natural body hair. I also open up about my decision to dye my hair after 2 years since I felt pressured to conform and ‘look professional’. 

Let's break free from societal pressure and redefine what beauty means to us. Listen now and join the conversation! #bodyhair #selfacceptance #haircare #podcast

(The intro is intentional, this episode was recorded super late into the night with minimal sleep and complete delusion, enjoy!)

TERRIFIED WAS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! 

On today’s episode I talk about the before, during and after of my skydive, some of the things I’ve reflected on, and how I’m now able to give even less of a shit about the stresses of life. 

I can now say it was the best moment of my life, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. 

Would you try skydiving?

Since it’s pride month, in this week’s episode I talk about my coming out story; the messy after math, what prompted me to come out and what I’ve learnt. 

Queer people have existed from the beginning of time, so have South Asian queers. I strongly believe there needs to be better representation, so that my 12-year-old Amma self doesn’t think something’s wrong with her, and future generations can feel safe and confident enough to live authentically. 

If you’re brown/ ethnic/ have a troubled relationship with your parents, you’ll know that familiar feeling of it’s complicated and we love them anyways kind of thing. One minuet you’re being called a disappointment and the next your being fed samosas.

Just a reminder, you’re not alone…

Queer safety is key so it can still be scary at times being this open, but it’s a journey to say the least, so I’m proud to say I’M SOUTH ASAIN AND QUEER <3 

PSA: If you’re one of my close haters *cough cough* chat shit aunties and uncles please do one, because my dad will punch you for me xoxo :)

Thank you as always, 

Enjoy!

Gusa in Punjabi means anger and it’s something I’m no stranger to.

On today’s episode I talk about the ways I’ve dealt with anger in my desi home, my recent experience of feeling angry and how you can manager your emotions better. 

Life is too short to be in a constant state of rage or distress. 

Stop, breath, reflect. The moment will pass. 

Enjoy ❤️

This translates to ‘You Look Fat’. Awful I know…

On today’s episode I talk about how normalised it is for our society to say such wild comments, and how I overcame a lot of my insecurity. 

I also mention my relationship with health, nutrition, and fitness and how I wish this subject was taught better in schools to educate young minds about being more aware of the benefits rather than it being forced and seen as a chore.

Remember, be kind, move your body and tell that chat shit aunty/ uncle to mind their business. 

Enjoy! <3

EPISODE 11: BLAME 

AM I TO BLAME FOR LEAVING? 

In today’s episode I talk about blame and how I, as a south Asian woman was made to feel like everything was my fault, when in reality I escaped an abusive home. 

I see this happen an awful lot in my culture, and it’s not spoken about enough. I wonder if It happens in other cultures too? 

So as always, let’s talk about it. 

Enjoy!
