I chose to do something a little different for this episode and do a live reading of a tweet I came across on the topic of propaganda written by Caitlin Johnstone. I also briefly delve into why I think this subject matter is especially pertinent to this podcast.

The impact of propaganda is tangible, as there's so much going on in the world and it has become increasingly obvious that the facts being shared about current events vary greatly depending on who's telling them.

This episode features my lovely friend Kiki, join us as we delve into the top 10 reasons behind the fear of success (source article shared below). Spoiler alert: they're all fears.

We take a deep dive into our personal experiences surrounding this topic; from family dynamics to work related incidents (over 20 years of work experience between the both of us), our love lives and everything in between.

It's my longest episode to date, but I promise you that we share some very intimate stories and insights that will have you feeling like you're at the table drinking wine and laughing or sighing along with us too.

Thanks for listening!

The podcast is back!

My lovely female friend Teresa joins me on this episode where we delve into the topic of female friendships and their potential to transform the way we live in and navigate the world.

We explore some research and personal experience to uncover how friendships between women have the power to transcend boundaries, challenge societal norms, and tackle the most pressing issues of our time.

This episode delves into the importance of setting boundaries and choosing to let go of people who are no longer able to meet us where we need them, in order to make room for others who are a much better fit. Relationships need balance in order to work and we need to make sure that we're keeping people around who encourage us to be our best selves instead of dragging us down.

We all know booze is bad for us, but we keep drinking it. Why? In this episode I delve into the origins of alcohol consumption, my own experience with it and how its consumption patterns have continued to evolve.

To turn this episode about drinking into a drinking game, drink every time you hear me say:

Hii! Ashika here, just wanted to provide a brief intro to who I am and why I've chosen to start this podcast. Growing up feeling like I didn't fit in or conform well to my surroundings, I would've loved to know there were others going through a similar experience, so here I am laying it all out on the table.
