  • EP24: Pregnancy Loss & the Journey to Baby Patel (with Mrs Patel) | South Asian, Miscarriage & Ectopic Pregnancy

    Now today’s episode as the title suggests we’re talking about pregnancy loss, which unfortunately is so common but also not spoken about- and I don’t want to limit it to just the south asian community because I feel like it’s not spoken in any community that openly. Did you know that a miscarriage happens in about estimated 1 in 4 pregnancies (25%) and about 1 in 100 women in the UK experience recurrent miscarriages (that’s 3 or more miscarriages in a row)

    I’m so honoured that I’m able to share Mrs Patel’s story, she’s a south asian born in the states and now living in the UK. During her pregnancy journey she had two ectopic pregnancies, two miscarriages and two rounds of IVF. But the story has a happy ending as she welcomed baby Patel in 2020.

    Honestly, I didn’t even know what an ectopic pregnancy was until I recorded this episode. So if anyone else was like me and doesn’t know, an ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg starts to grow somewhere other than in the normal lining of the womb. They can sometimes be called tubal pregnancies or tubal ectopics. In very rare cases, the pregnancy can also develop somewhere else – e.g. where the tube meets the uterus or in the cervix. If an ectopic pregnancy is not treated, the tube may rupture which means it needs to be dealt with urgently and fatal. It’s estimated that there are around 12,000 cases of ectopic pregnancy a year in the UK.

    Hope you enjoy the episode!

    Love,

    Preeti x

  • EP22: It’s Okay to be Single | South Asian, Self Love and Valentines Day

    I’m sharing five reasons why it’s okay to be single (there’s definitely more than five, but these are my top five). 

    With valentines day coming up this weekend, I feel like it makes some single people feel inadequate because they’re not in a relationship. Society puts a lot of pressure on people to be in relationships and sometimes puts them on a pedestal. 

    However, being in a relationship is a choice and you shouldn’t rush just because everyone else is. It’s okay to be single and honestly it has it perks. 

    Love, Preeti x

  • EP20: From a Male Perspective (with Suniel Makh)

    Today, we’re talking about ego, gratitude and the expectations we impose on ourselves. I’m joined by life coach Suniel Makh, to hear the the male perspective. Especially when it comes to dating.

    We talk about what actually goes through a guy’s mind when they need to ask someone out on a date and how they actually feel about paying on a first date. It was so interesting to hear the male perspective.

  • EP19: Embracing our culture & 2020 Indian farmers protest (with Sahiba Sangha)
    Today’s we’re talking about embracing our culture and the heritage we belong to, as Asians we have such a rich heritage that we might not know about but it shapes who we are today.
    We’ll also be talking about the Farmer’s protests that are currently happening in India. For those who might not, to break it down the Indian government has passed 3 farming laws which allow the farmer can sell directly on corporations however, it means that it will get rid of the minimum fixed pricing- which is the equivalent to minimum wage.
    This means corporations can pay what they want since they have the buyer power and the farmer will feel forced to sell at a low rate, which can lead to potential exploitation, high debt and potentially having to sell land passed down to them for generations. The farmers are protesting against these laws as they believe it doesn’t benefit them and only the corporations and want the old system back where they have stability and a fair minimum wage especially since 60% of the population depends on agriculture for a living.
    To put it into simple terms, the farmers are protesting for minimum wage (literally just minimum wage) to provide for their family because that’s the only income they have.

  • EP17: Mental Health & Therapy (with Simran)

    Today we’re talking all about mental health, a topic that is still pretty taboo within the South Asian community.

    I’m joined by Simran, a student from the UK who shares her personal journey with mental health, the challenges she’s faced as well as tips she used to find the perfect therapist for her.

    I know now with a second UK national lockdown happening, people’s mental health isn’t the best and it’s something we really need to prioritise. So please take time for yourself, be kind to yourself and take care of your mental health 💗
