In today's episode I share my thoughts on the whole Don Cherry situation. Along with sharing my thoughts on his words, I talk about a larger issue. What is a Canadian? What is Canadian enough? What happens when you aren't Indian enough or Canadian enough? This has been a struggle for most of my life and Don Cherry's words brought back all those feelings I had as a child of not fitting in. Join me in this conversation and let me know your thoughts. You can catch me on any of my socials @mombossof3

Sonya's life completely changed when both of her parent became unable to care for themselves in a matter of months. She tells us about her journey and the realities of being a caregiver. As we are getting older, this is a reality we will inevitably face. We talk about how caregiving is viewed in the South Asian community and also the stigma there is around illness in the first place. 

In today's episode we sit down with none other than Monika Deol. She is a true trailblazer in the media world and learning about her story is simply inspiring. From the very beginning she has ventured on the path less traveled and today we get to hear what that was really like...from expectations placed on her by her parents, to society's expectations and always feeling like an outsider. Join me as we hear Monika's story and how she became my favourite television personality of the 80's and 90's. 

In this week's episode we chat with Dr.Sapna, a well known Chiropractor and business owner here in Toronto. She has established two multidisciplinary clinics in the city all while having 2 kids. Today we talk about what it means to be a good mom, how society judges mothers who pursue careers while caring for young children and also how society judges stay at home moms. We also talk about gender roles and biases and what needs to change in our ways of thinking to stop limiting women who want to pursue a career, while also wanting to be mothers. 

In today's episode we sit down with Jeeti and Kira Pooni of the film, Because We Are Girls. We talk about their film and their experience reaching out for help as sexual abuse victims. They were told to silence themselves but they are now sharing their story to set a new precedent, not only in the Canadian judicial system but also for women and girls everywhere. Although this story is not unique to south Asian families, we look at some of the cultural aspects in their upbringing that played a role in their experiences. Join me as we discuss this important topic and how we can use what they learned to inform our parenting.
