Episode Description:

This week on Unscripted with Karishma Patel, I’m joined by none other than the multi-hyphenate powerhouse, Jyoti Chand — writer, content creator, stand-up comic, and full-time mom of three. If you’ve ever seen her viral Reels or laughed at her hilariously relatable takes on parenting, you already know: Jyoti keeps it so real.

In this heartwarming and unfiltered conversation, we dive into the inspiration behind her upcoming book, what it’s really like raising a family while building a personal brand, and how she navigates the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood — all while staying grounded, funny, and fiercely authentic.

Jyoti opens up about the pressure of being a “mom influencer,” how she protects her mental health in the chaos, and the importance of showing the messy parts of life online. We also talk about identity, creativity, burnout, cultural expectations, and the moments she almost gave up — and why she didn’t.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, underestimated, or just in need of a good laugh and a reminder that they’re not alone.

In this episode, we cover:

• The story behind Jyoti’s new book and what pushed her to write it
• Balancing mom life, content creation, and mental wellness
• What it means to “influence” when you’re just trying to survive bedtime
• How she navigates vulnerability vs. performance on social media
• The reality of being a South Asian woman raising kids in today’s world
• What’s next for Jyoti — and what she’s learning to let go of
