Season 3, Episode 7: Baby food allergies, eczema, and starting solids can feel overwhelming, especially when mom guilt and family opinions get added to the mix. In this episode, we sit down with allergist Dr. Farah Khan (@farah.khan.md) for some real talk about food allergies, mom guilt, and navigating cultural skepticism.

We cover:
• Purvi's story of discovering a cashew allergy
• Why mom guilt hits hard when navigating a food allergy and why it’s not your fault
• Starting solids with less fear (and less math)
• How to know if it’s an allergy vs. a sensitivity
• EpiPens, testing, and the realities of oral immunotherapy (OIT)
• South Asian families, aunties, and why food allergies are “not real” in their eyes

If you’re managing food allergies and feel overwhelmed, this conversation will help you breathe a little easier. You are not alone.

Season 3, Episode 6: In South Asian families, “healthy” usually meant “chubby," and strength or movement were barely part of the conversation. Now as moms, we’re unlearning those generational myths and figuring out how to raise kids who feel strong, confident, and proud of their bodies.

In this episode, we’re joined by pediatric physical therapist Shivani Rami (@wigglestherapy) to unpack:
• Why “eat, eat, eat” quickly turns into “don’t eat, don’t eat”
• The pressure to fatten babies up with ghee, jaggery, and “more, more, more”
• How body shaming shows up during pregnancy and postpartum
• The cultural stigma around women working out, and why it’s shifting
• How our own definitions of fitness have changed from our 20s to motherhood
• Practical ways to talk to our kids about strength, confidence, and body image

This one’s for every mom caught between family pressure, postpartum reality, and the hope of raising a healthier next generation. You are not alone

Season 3, Episode 5: Is my baby behind? Should they be rolling, crawling, walking by now? Or are they just taking their sweet time? The comparison game can feel endless and Instagram doesn’t help.

In this episode, we sit down with pediatric physical therapist Shivani Rami, PT, DPT, founder of Wiggles Therapy (@wiggles.therapy), to get real about baby milestones, motor development, and why early intervention matters.

We cover:
• Why tummy time is foundational (and why not all tummy time counts)
• The signs and treatment of torticollis (aka the flat head/neck tightness struggle)
• Common developmental delays and when to actually worry
• Crawling: why it still matters even though the CDC dropped it
• W sitting, toe walking, and what they reveal about your child’s core strength
• Practical, everyday tips to support your baby’s movement at home

Whether you’re panicking at a family party because your baby still isn’t crawling or just want tools to support their growth, this episode will make you feel seen and remind you that milestones are a range, not a race.

Season 3, Episode 4: Sleep training feels like one of the most guilt-filled, opinion-loaded parts of parenting, especially in South Asian families where “just feed them more” is everyone’s go-to solution. Between night feeds, cultural pushback, and babies who suddenly learn to stand, it’s no wonder moms feel like they’re failing.

In this episode, we’re joined by Rinie Gupta (@riniegupta), pediatric sleep consultant and mom, to talk all things baby sleep without the shame, stress, or cultural guilt trips.

We cover:
• Karen and Purvi’s raw, emotional sleep training stories
• The most common cultural myths about baby sleep (and why they’re wrong)
• How to handle pushback from grandparents and in-laws
• Why regressions happen, and how to survive them without starting from scratch
• Crib escapes, nap strikes, and other curveballs you can actually plan for
• The mindset shift that makes sleep training less stressful for everyone

If your baby isn’t sleeping, you’re not failing. You’re just frigging exhausted, and you’re not alone.

Season 3, Episode 3: You think you cracked the sleep code. Then the regression hits. And the daycare germs. And the teething. And suddenly you’re rocking a baby to Timber at 2am wondering how it all fell apart.

In this episode, we’re talking about what happens after sleep training, when the real chaos begins.

We cover:
• The four-month and six-month sleep regressions
• Why daycare means nonstop sickness and zero sleep
• Crawling, walking, and the gross motor milestones that wreck naps
• Working mom guilt and nighttime separation anxiety
• Teething symptoms and the remedies that actually helped
• Our favorite mantras and middle-of-the-night coping rituals

Sleep is not linear. You are not alone. And you are not failing. You're just in the thick of it, and we’re right there with you.

Season 3, Episode 2: If you’re a new mom drowning in sleep deprivation, nap schedules, and unsolicited opinions, this episode is for you. We’re getting real about baby sleep: what we thought it would be, what it actually was, and how sleep training tested everything from our sanity to our cultural values.

In this episode, we share:

• What no one tells you about sleep training as a first-time mom

• How Purvi sleep trained her twins (with an Indian twist)

• Karen’s honest take on travel, regressions, and crying-it-out

• The emotional toll of baby sleep: mom guilt and cultural judgment

Whether you’re co-sleeping, Ferber-ing, or still Googling “how to get my baby to nap,” this is your permission slip to figure it out your way. Because every baby is different, and every mom deserves rest.

Season 3, Episode 1: Starting solids feels exciting, until it feels totally overwhelming. What do you feed? How much? What if they gag, or worse - choke? We sit down with Madhura Kearns, the voice behind @foodiefirststeps, to talk all about starting solids with confidence, culture and connection.

We cover:

• Why feeding feels so emotional and overwhelming

• How to introduce cultural foods

• Practical tips for making food fun, not stressful

Season 2, Ep 5: After you have a baby, everyone has opinions—and zero respect for nap schedules. From unsolicited advice to uninvited drop-bys, setting boundaries as a new mom isn’t rude. It’s survival.

In this episode, we’re sharing:

• Real-life boundary wins (and fails)

• How we handled surprise visitors and unwanted advice

• The added pressure of cultural expectations (hi, South Asian guilt)

• How to align with your partner and stay a united front

• What we’ve learned about picking battles—and when to just let it go

This one’s for the moms trying to be respectful and realistic. Because you can love your family and still say no.

Season 2, Ep 4: Boobs, pumps, nipple shields, breastfeeding supplements—today we’re talking all things breastfeeding with certified lactation consultant Michelle Fassell, IBCLC, who’s seen it all and still manages to make you feel like you’re doing amazing.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• How to boost milk supply without losing your mind

• What “triple feeding” really looks like (and why it breaks so many moms)

• The deal with nipple shields and galactagogues

• Why oxytocin—and your mom’s homemade fenugreek laddoos—might actually be helping

• What twin moms need to know when it comes to feeding two babies at once

Whether you’re cluster feeding, combo feeding, or contemplating setting your pump on fire—this one’s for you.

S2 Ep4: In this episode, Karen takes us inside her meticulous, exhausting, and sometimes maddening breastfeeding journey—from collecting colostrum at 37 weeks to weaning while working full-time.

We cover:

• How she learned to collect colostrum (and why it mattered later)

• Flange sizing, nipple shields, and other ridiculous breastfeeding gear

• The chaos of triple feeding and tube feeding—and how she survived it

• Pumping in office supply closets, hormonal crashes, and weaning grief

• What finally helped her feel like herself again (and why “fed is best” isn’t just a slogan)

This one’s for the overachieving pumpers, the exclusive breastfeeders, the formula moms, and anyone just trying to make it through one more feed. You’re doing more than enough.
