LoveSND

Four completely different trips in six weeks: a big family trip to Italy with all the kids, a couples getaway, London with the in-laws for the Eagles game, and a girls trip to Paris. Sisters Sheena, Nina, and Dipti break down how travel changes in your 40s when you’re a millennial parent paying your own way.

We get into the day-one freedom high, the day-two hangover reality, missing the kids, and how dinner became the main event instead of the pre-party. Plus: what’s trending about how millennials party now vs. Gen Z’s “soft clubbing,” the “2026 is the new 2016” nostalgia wave, and the viral study claiming Gen Z is the first generation to score lower than its parents. Does that really make millennials the smartest generation?

We spent our whole lives hating being told what to do… and now we're the ones telling our parents what to do.

In this episode, we get honest about how things have changed as our parents get older. Family trips look different now: one of us expects them to hit 10,000 steps a day in Barcelona, while the other two are perfectly happy seeing them by the pool on the Amalfi Coast. We also get into the harder stuff: noticing they're more tired than they used to be, the doctor follow-ups that somehow never happen, and finally sitting down to sort out the future-planning paperwork no one wants to talk about.

If you've ever caught yourself nagging your parents the way they used to nag you, this one's for you. Send it to your siblings.

We're complete opposites from our husbands — and somehow that's exactly why it works. In this episode, the three of us break down the ways we process the world totally differently than our spouses: who can't relax until the house is clean vs. who can't clean until they're relaxed, who panics and calls every doctor when the kids get sick vs. who says "let's wait and see," and the spreadsheet showdown that proved we'll always get to the same place — just never the same way.If you've ever wondered why you married someone who does literally everything differently than you... this one's for you.🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube

Is This Normal Now? The Weird Rules of Modern Life

Why are we all so busy? When did texting etiquette become a thing? Why does everyone have a side hustle, 14 subscriptions, and an opinion about every restaurant? And when did under-consuming become an aesthetic?

In this episode of Love SND, we’re taking a hilarious, honest look at the strange rules and habits that have become completely normal in modern life.

We talk about everything from texting etiquette, group chats, social media, review culture, restaurant photography, and technology to the pressure to always be busy and productive. We debate whether restaurant reviews can ever really be objective, why people photograph every meal, and how social media has changed the way we experience everything from dining out to hanging out with friends.

We also get into generational differences around aging, tattoos, side hustles, subscriptions, socializing, and technology, plus the return of something we may have forgotten about: actually helping your neighbors.

And, of course, there’s plenty of conversation about the bizarre behaviors of our own generation—including “gunny sacking,” gatherings that somehow end before 9 p.m., and the increasingly complicated rules of communicating with other humans.

From Seinfeld and pop culture to group chats and under-consumption, this episode is essentially one big question:

When did all of this become normal?

Because maybe the weirdest thing about modern life isn't the technology—it’s how quickly we’ve adapted to it.

Topics: modern life, texting etiquette, group chats, social media, technology, review culture, restaurant reviews, side hustles, aging, generational differences, tattoos, subscriptions, underconsumption, friendship, socializing, communication, and human connection.

Description:
Puberty is the first major transition in a woman's life. Perimenopause is the second—and somehow, it's the one almost no one talks about.

In this episode, we're joined by health and wellness coach Disha Modi to break down what perimenopause really is, why it can begin years before menopause, and how understanding this transition can help you feel more in control of your health.

Together, we discuss:

• Why perimenopause is often misunderstood
• The symptoms that catch so many women by surprise
• Nutrition, protein, and fiber recommendations
• Supplements and when they may help
• The importance of blood work and understanding your hormones
• Why strength training is essential for longevity
• Stress management and mindfulness techniques
• Communicating with your partner during this stage of life
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
• Why quality sleep matters more than ever

This episode is about replacing fear with knowledge—and reminding women that this transition isn't something to simply survive. It's something you can navigate with confidence.

This week, we're talking about something we didn't even realize had a name: the "third space." You know, those places that aren't home, work, school drop-off, baseball practice, or Target. The places where people used to just... hang out.

We dive into why it feels like those spaces are disappearing, whether social media has replaced real-life connections, and why making plans now feels harder than it did when we were younger. We also compare how different generations socialize, debate whether we're all too busy (or just pretending to be), and wonder if we've forgotten how to be bored, sit in silence, or strike up a random conversation.

Of course, we couldn't have this conversation without talking about our Indian upbringing, where dropping by someone's house unannounced wasn't weird—it was basically expected. We explore how community looked for our parents, how it looks for us, and what our kids might be missing in a world that's more connected than ever but sometimes feels a lot lonelier.

Join us as we laugh, reminisce, and ask the important questions: Have we lost the art of conversation? Are awkward interactions actually good for us? And where exactly are adults supposed to make friends these days?

Have you ever achieved everything you were supposed to — and still felt empty? This episode is for you.

We sat down with Suneet Bhatt — executive coach, Adjunct Professor of Purpose at Rutgers University, children's book author, and founder of My Authentic Story — for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this podcast.

Suneet spent 25+ years in the corporate world raising $40M+, running the world's largest B-Corp certified company, and surviving every kind of professional storm — before finally stopping to ask himself: why am I actually here? He noticed a pattern: every 18–24 months, right after hitting success, he'd feel completely hollow and leave or get fired. Sound familiar?

In this episode, we get into all of it — through the lens that only LoveSND can bring.

We talk about:

• Why so many first-gen South Asian women are afraid to admit they want more than what they achieved
• The quiet trade-offs we make in life — and whether we ever really chose them
• How to find your purpose when you have zero white space in your life
• What it means to be high-functioning and completely overwhelmed at the same time
• What we're actually passing down to our kids — not what we say, but what they see
• Why Suneet writes children's books and keeps a blog for his kids to read someday
• The difference between someone who doesn't know themselves — and someone who knows exactly who they are but is afraid to show it

This one hit different. Whether you're a millennial mom, a first-gen woman navigating career and identity, or someone sitting with that low-grade "is this it?" feeling — Suneet's story will stay with you.
