All females go through a major transformation after marriage, we find out unfiltered unspoken truths about what happens to a wife once she starts living in her husband's home. How does life take a turn for better or for worse? Why is this a societal norm that only women are supposed to "adjust"? Why should they change their name? Should a woman leave behind a life, a home, and even her identity just because she got married? Why is it considered wrong to speak up against your In-laws and their wrong behavior? How women are conditioned to not "talk back" to their in-laws and completely finish their identities because now they are not a woman, but a Married Woman.

  • #12 A Near Fatal Motorcycle Accident - Reactivated old Trauma and Triggers, Medical Illiteracy can prove to be dangerous for your loved one

    This Episode was one of the hardest times of our life. Hope you find some learnings from this. Truth is always stranger than fiction. unfortunately, this was a real-life incident for us and not just a fictional story. We wish no one ever goes through this and everyone remains happy and healthy, and never needs to see the insides of a hospital.
    One day when he called to tell her he won't be able to meet her...she just got miffed at him and hung up the phone. Next, she got a call from his number saying he had been in an accident. She could not believe this was happening to her second time in her life. She had got a similar phone call in 2010 when she found out her mother was in an accident and slipped into a coma. Somehow she found the strength to go see him and what she saw was shocking. His near-fatal accident has resulted into a similar brain injury as her mother's but thankfully with lesser damage.

    And this was double the challenge for them both because she was meeting his family in this time of trauma directly after a radio silence of 1 year. How did they both manage to get through such a big calamity?

    What is it like to be an outsider in the family and yet be the primary caregiver for someone with a head trauma and how crucial those initial few days are when it's a brain injury?

  • #11 Living in Denial - Avoiding the difficult conversations in a Relationship. How controlling parents can hamper your growth in love and life!

    A year of weddings and living in denial about our own wedding.

    He just wanted to get married and she just wanted to AVOID the whole topic together! It's heartbreaking when the whole world can see your love but your partner doesn't want to get married. But both of us had our reasons, plus his controlling parents and her "good-girl" conditioning didn't help the situation at all. Boomer Parents never realize how much they try to control their children, they conveniently treat them as adults and choose to tell them what to do in life at the same time. Never thinking how much that controlling behavior can affect their adult life and love relationships.
    Did the couple manage to end the denial and finally confront each other with the conversation? Will they agree on getting married? Or there are more natural calamities waiting to happen in their relationship!

    Living in denial and avoiding difficult conversations in relationships only leads to further disconnection and dissatisfaction. By embracing vulnerability, effective communication, and a willingness to grow, couples can overcome challenges and foster a healthy, thriving relationship. True emotional intimacy and fulfillment come from facing difficult conversations with empathy, compassion, and open hearts.

Open communication and trust plays a pivotal role in forging a deeper connection with our partner, allowing us to align our financial priorities and shared goals.

  • #8 When you can't Let Go or Move On - What happens after Calling off a Wedding!
    When she called off the Wedding, he thought she did it because of just a misunderstanding. His mother gaslighted him, and he believed it!
    Have you been in love with a Mumma's boy ever? It's always her word against the world. So there is no point arguing or trying to convince him otherwise. She had no more energy left to fix this relationship, but he still showed up and kept trying to fix it. Did this ever happen to you in an Indian household, where parents just gaslight you into believing what they want? Gaslighting in the family is very common in India but no one ever talks about it. This episode is all about the Aftermath of Calling off the wedding, difficult conversations and trying hard to keep a relationship together.
