Or
Everybody Needed Her. She Went Dancing Anyway. (GUEST CHAT)
What starts as a conversation about food quickly becomes a conversation about the invisible work women carry every day.
In this episode of The C-Word, I talk with Namita Pandey, founder of Aurum Celebrations, about the mental load hiding in ordinary things: groceries, lunchboxes, leftovers, family calendars, clean fridges, changing diets, and the question women are somehow always expected to answer: what’s for dinner?
We talk about migration, marriage, motherhood, grief, culture, midlife, ambition, and what happens when women spend a lifetime saying yes, often without even realising they’re saying it.
And then there’s dancing.
Even though people still need her, Namita is choosing joy, movement, business, beauty, and a life that belongs to her, too.
This is a conversation about invisible labour, but it’s also about the radical little question women deserve to ask themselves:
What do I want my life to look like?
