What happens when a home chef takes her family's cherished recipes and makes them accessible to the world? She creates a thriving online platform that resonates with thousands of people. That's what we explore today with our delightful guest, Palak Patel. She's a home chef, cookbook author, lifestyle blogger, and the creator behind the popular, The Chutney Life.

She shares her favorite recipes and talks about the process of capturing her mother's recipes for her friends and followers. Palak also discusses the rollercoaster journey of writing her debut cookbook - an endeavor pursued during her pregnancy and postpartum, with the unwavering support of her 'village.'
It's not all about the food. Her experiences also enrich Palak's story as a mother and an influencer. We discuss her approach to balancing these roles, maintaining creative energy, and the importance of staying true to what you love. Palak talks about the struggles and successes of working motherhood, how to keep the creative juices flowing, and the significance of having sounding boards.
Finally, she leaves us with some powerful advice on embracing failure, starting small, and never underestimating our potential.
Listen and get inspired by Palak's heartwarming journey and infectious love for food.

It's where she developed her deep love of cooking and learned from her mom's ability to swap spices and ingredients across almost any dish in the most unique way.
Balak leans on this learned resourcefulness in many of the recipes you find on her blog and in her debut cookbook, The Chutney Life.

Can you imagine making a drastic career shift from the scientific field of dentistry to the creative realm of authorship? Dr. Puja Shah, our guest for today, made that very leap and found a passion that was not only fulfilling but also transformative. She's here to share her intriguing journey and how she came to understand that passion isn't something you can predict or plan – it's something you stumble upon or engineer.
Fulfilling one's dreams can be challenging, especially when juggling motherhood. Listen as Puja shares her unique strategies that helped her overcome creative blocks and confront guilt associated with pursuing personal interests. She found a way to weave her passion into her family life, teaching her children that you can be more than one thing and that joy can be found in pursuing your passions, even if they don't transform into a career.
We don't just discuss passion. We dive deeply into topics like control, self-love, and trust. Puja opens up about her struggle with control – how she had to let go of it and replace fear with trust to find a new sense of order in her life. She emphasizes the significance of self-love, awareness, and understanding in the process of relinquishing control.
Get ready to be inspired as you join us in this conversation filled with profound insights, stories of personal transformation, and pearls of wisdom that will stir you to pursue your own passions.
About Dr. Puja Shah
Dr. Puja Shah is a visionary poet who shares her voice through written and spoken word, guided meditations, and teaching. Born in Queens, New York to Indian immigrant parents, she defied teachers who questioned her English skills by winning countless poetry and short story awards in her youth. She is a doctor of dental medicine and has completed over a dozen trainings in various forms of yoga, meditation, and ancient wisdom. With over 10 years of nonprofit experience and a long public health career, she has aligned with girls rights awareness causes for her triple award winning debut novel, For My Sister. For My Sister is an eye opening journey on twin sisters who lose their freedom…and their irrepressible hope, love, and courage throughout.

The conversation doesn't stop there. We're also shedding light on the unique physical needs of women and the ripple effects of stress on our bodies. We're sharing our personal bouts with stress, from skin troubles to sleepless nights, and how the global pandemic has thrown our nervous systems off balance.
But wait, there's more! We're over the moon about the upcoming episodes of Momsanity and the awe-inspiring guests who will bring along a wealth of insights.
