  • Marital Rape Issue
    For those who live in India or follow Indian news, you would be familiar with the Marital Rape Issue in 2022. In this episode, we discuss the concept of consent for both married and unmarried women. What does the Indian Penal Code say about this and why is it important for married women to have this right? When married women do not have this inherited right, what things happen to them? India had polarizing opinions on this issue. Listen as we break down this concept, the legal system and learn the reaction of society when it comes to a woman's consent.

  • Murdering a woman's honor
    Women around the world are shamed for actions that are not their fault. They bear the heavy weight of emotional, verbal, mental and physical abuse by an intimate partner or a close male family member. The reason to bear this shame is widely to stand by the honor of the man. During modern times, though women add to the honor of the man and his family by contributing to income, status and expansion, the idea that a man's honor is tied to her body has not changed. Should women be honored for their individual work and contribution? Should the definition of a man's honor be redefined? Listen as we explore the value for life and why the murder of a woman's honor can be harmful for both man and woman.

  • The Option of Surrogacy
    Is this topic too much for you?

    Most people are not raised with the conversation of a woman's fertility or anatomical construction of her body. The modernisation of our world and the demand that work places on women has increased by a staggering percent adding more pressure on a pregnant mother to deliver a healthy baby while being productive at work. Sometimes, life throws curve balls and women are not able to get pregnant when they want/how they want. This episode is about the option of surrogacy. Though it might not be for everyone, this increasingly popular technique to expand a family has helped many couples safely have a child. Listen to our conversation and find out if you identify with this option while struggling to have a child.

    Our guest, Ariel Taylor is a four-time surrogate and Fertility Therapist based in Ontario, Canada. She provides specialized psychotherapy and support for the fertility community through her 100% virtual private practice, Carried With Love. Ariel also uses her Instagram account, @carried.with.love, to educate her audience about surrogacy and all forms of assisted reproduction.

  • Discrimination & Ingrained Bias
    Have you noticed that as we grow, we pick up on discrimination against a certain religion or culture because people around us have those biases? It takes much rewiring to first, recognise that we are biased and second, to unlearn those biases. In this episode, I talk to Soraya Deen who is different from me but also similar to me. Listen to our conversation on seeing differences, yet coming together on account of our similarities. Our identity is shaped by things that we agree and disagree upon but it's vital to acknowledge our biases to survive in a divided world by practicing unity, harmony and freedom.

  • Financial decisions & Generational Wealth

    In general, girls are not taught the value of money or the ways to save, budget and spend earnings. It is common to think that the man of the house provides and women spend within the budget both before and after marriage. Because of this, girls struggle in their relationship with finances when real life begins. To change this narrative, we speak to Mahalene Dulay about how working women, home makers, young girls and teens can have a healthy view of money. This way women can have a better sense of financial identity by knowing how to control their expenses.

    About our guest - As a proud daughter of Filipino immigrants who started with very little and retired as successful business owners, Mahalene knew that she was destined to be an entrepreneur herself. Mahalene is the founder and lead wealth advisor for Modern Wealth Collective™; her passion and mission lies in helping women of color be smarter and confident with their money through education, community and making money talk fun!
