The hardest part has been starting but I’m so glad to have put out my podcast :)

As always, thank you for watching and listening.

I came to the recent realization that no matter how hard I try to salvage a complicated relationship with family members, no matter how much I try to be the perfect daughter and seek validation, the list of expectations will forever be unreachable.

Rather than trying to fit into a box and feel bad for MY choices, I made the decision to limit access to the beautiful parts of my life (friends, relationship, dreams, goals aspirations ect.) for those family members who simply refuse to love me for me. 

This week’s episode was touchy to say the least, mixed with lots of emotion, I talk about the suffocating expectations placed upon me, how many people in our community struggle with desi expectations and the importance of speaking up for yourself.

I pray that anyone experiencing the pressures of expectations is freed and has the courage to live authentically. 

As always, thank you for watching and listening. 

Enjoy!

One minute you’re being told off, the next your being served fruit. Being served fruit by your Indian parents is their equivalent of them apologising, of course without taking any accountability. 

On today’s episode I talk about hot and cold parents. No matter how much time passes their old negative habits/ opinions creep up here and there leaving you feeling confused and disappointed. Since I feel like not enough people speak about this topic, it’s important to remember our parents are people, and people say awful things. It just hurts more when it’s a parent.

I go on to explain how I had a disagreement my dad and how I navigated through it, the importance of patience and boundaries and lastly an amazing sound bath experience that shifted my entire perspective on life. 

Enjoy!

I can't help but wish I had watched this video 3 years ago. 

Moving out was a major decision in my life, and while it didn't solve all my problems, it was definitely the best choice I ever made. 

In this week's episode, I dive into the nitty-gritty of the moving out process, sharing insights on dealing with landlords, offering practical tips for a smooth move, and venting about the challenges of house shares. 

I would love to become a landlord myself one day and be a source of support for those facing similar struggles.

Enjoy!❤️

“When will you marry”, asked my mum who would faint at the thought of me dating BUT, “I must find a life partner” she said. 

Welcome to the all too familiar and common reality of south Asians like myself who feel the sudden pressure to get married because apparently 25 is the prime age, otherwise I’ll expire by 29, God forbid 30. 

In today’s episode I talk about the stigma and ideas our community has around marriage such as the pressure; the need for families to be heavily involved, the lack of open conversations around dating and much more. 

Please take this as your reminder that marriage is a beautiful thing; it’s not for people to tell you how it should be, judge your choices, or ask you about it for that matter! 

I really enjoyed this episode and I hope you do too! <3

TW: PLEASE NOTE THIS EPISODE INCLUDES SENSITIVE TOPICS.

If there’s one thing I’ve always screamed at all my friends is don’t care what people think, they don’t care as much as you think. Now this is a lot easier said than done and insecurity naturally creeps up in waves. What’s important is how you manage it. 

In todays episode I talk about some the of issues I grew up with as a brown women such as: 

My relationship with body hair.

Being under/over weight.

A lack of representation for brown bodies.

Chat shit aunties and their questionable comments.

I conclude this episode with some of the things I do to help me practice self love, and the need for more discussion around increasing body positivity within the brown community for all generations! 

Imagine a world where more aunties and uncles embraced themselves >>>

I hope you guys can relate, learn and enjoy listening/ watching, and remember, BE KIND ❤️

Mental health is a lifelong relationship, it only gets more spicier if you have chat shit aunties and you’re the eldest brown girl. In this week’s episode I talk about how my current circumstances are making me feel, how I wish there were more spaces for the older gen to process their feelings, and how important it is to fall in love with your own company. Solo dates for the win <3

Since my mum is my biggest hater towards my podcast, and I’ll post it anyway, todays episode is quite special to me, and I hope you can understand or relate to some of the guilt I feel as a result of leaving home; being outspoken and putting myself first as a brown person.

Having to put your own needs second and staying compliant to your parents/ societies expectations is not a fair way to live, and the guilt which follows can be awfully painful. 

Tell a friend to tell a friend, ENJOY!
