On this episode, Cyrus is joined by the amazing Kalki Koechlin, Actor, Writer, and now Author, to talk about her amazing new book 'Elephant in the Womb'. Cyrus and Kalki discuss her book in which she opens up about so much that we don't talk about - the social stigma around abortions and unmarried pregnancies, the toll that pregnancy takes on a body, the emotional rollercoaster that giving birth can be, bouts of postpartum melancholy, the unsolicited parenting advice that you get from every corner, difficulties when becoming a new parent, the need to talk about these supposedly taboo subjects, and tons more. Kalki and Cyrus also go through some of the amazing and funny illustrations in Kalki's book illustrated by Valeriya Polyanychko, talk about the effects of the pandemic, and lots more. Do check out Kalki's book.
