WHAT DO YOU MEAN S2 IS COMPLETE? 😨

I started the series on a rooftop in Vietnam with no idea on how to edit on premiere pro or use wireless mike. We went from blocking my mother, to now being besties, season 2 was heavily based on the roller-coaster relationship I’ve had with my parents. 

From young I always thought I’d be ostracised, so having them in my life came as a pleasant surprise. With 1001 boundaries, difficult conversations, accountability, forgiveness and patience that I don’t know how I managed to have, I somehow made it out the other side. 

Season 2 was hard to complete if I’m honest, I’ve had a busy summer with lots of exciting things happening in the background, but it’s got me super burnt out, and with fun-employment starting to feel like full time employment, dare I say I NEED A BREAK. 

As an Indian, my dictionary doesn’t include taking breaks, but I know It will do me good. 

I’ll be back soon with season 3, lots more to learn, lots more to create, I pray this works out and for my podcast to help anyone who needs it.

Recently my sister had a big fat desi wedding, and it had me thinking about what I want when I get married.

I’ve talked a lot about the pressures of marriage, but no one talks about the pressures of having a big wedding, especially desi weddings.

Catch me at the town hall in a red lehenga, 1 witness and a mocktail. 

ENJOY X

Today’s episode was close to my heart. I recently read my first ever fiction book called baby does a runner, by Anita Rani and it really stuck with me. The book covered the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 which was one of the greatest mass migrations in history where the horrific effects are felt even today. 

It’s no surprise that history repeats itself and the violence taking place across the earth is heartbreaking. Free Palestine. 

Through reading this book, I was able to uncover my own family secrets and stories, it pushed me to question my parents about the partition and how it affected their parents, and I believe conversations as such should be happened more often. 

Have a listen and feel free share to share your stories, my dms are always open!

GURRRLLLL WE AT EP 20 WHATTTTTTT??? Something about reaching EP 20 feels like a milestone, maybe It’s the relatability of being in my mid 20’s and crashing out on the weekly, or maybe because I know the end of season 2 is fast approaching. 

On that note, speaking up in difficult conversations is an episode I must cover, it’s only right when I’ve got tons of experience with it. Does that mean I’m an expert? Far from it. 

You can always expect conflict but it’s how you handle it; what you say, the way you say it, the emotional safety, confidence in your ability to trust yourself, boundaries, grace. The list goes on. 

Since I recently had a few situations myself with difficult conversations and wishing I had spoken up sooner, it felt right to share. I hope you are able to relate or learn something from today’s episode, feel free to share your own experiences, my dm’s are open! 

Have a great week ahead of you, Enjoy !

Been home with my parents for the last 2 weeks since my wisdom teeth removal and wow, it’s been a journey. After nearly 7 years of living solo, I’m so used to my independence and my space. Living in a family home? Not quite my vibe x 🙂

Navigating the energy of a broken home, boundary setting, and changing relationships with my parents has been real. It’s complicated, but also a reminder that your space and peace matter. You don’t owe anyone guilt for prioritising your mental health and boundaries. 🫶🏼

Tune in and enjoy!!! 🩷

Happy pride month peeps! 

On this week’s episode I talk about the queer community; how I could really do with more queer friends, the Indian culture recognising third genders through history, how we still have a long way to go, and even a little about how I’m doing as a queer desi girly after coming out. 

I hope you enjoy today’s episode as much as I enjoyed creating it, stick it on in the background, and let me know what you think! 

Sending all my queer peeps love and extra kisses for my trans queens!

ENJOY! 🩷

Lavender marriage this lavender marriage that, I’ve lost count of how many times I said lavender marriage, but I can sure tell you this style of marriage is back. 

To the girlies showing off their cute hot gay husbands, to Hollywood stars concealing their sexuality to avoid scandal, this form of marriage has caused a stir. 

On today’s episode I talk about the future of lavender marriages, whether if my aunties would take it up as an option to get rid of their husbands who clearly hate them (closeted), if I would consider marrying a gay man for acceptance, and how lavender marriages could be the future. 

Hopefully you don’t get sick of me saying the term lavender marriage on today’s episode, but I promise you it short and snappy, thought provoking and might make you question your uncle’s sexuality. 

Let me know hahaha x 

ENJOY!

We know how ugly it can all get when we hear about jealousy, have you ever felt jealous? 🫵🏼

On today’s episode I talk about jealousy, what it means to feel jealous, why we feel jealous, how we can work through it and how jealousy can look through a brown lens. 

Have you considered jealousy to be an invitation to look inwards, is it as bad as it sounds? 🤔

You tell me, I hope todays episode challenges you to question yourself, perhaps you can relate, feel free to share your story. 

Thanks for the engagement, enjoy!!! 🩷

I’m glad I set the record straight with my parents early on and let them crash out sooner than later because I don’t have the capacity to be dealing with their crash out in my 30’s. 

Anyways, today it a chill one, yappa yappa yappa. identity is a weird, one minute I’m pretending to be the perfect Indian housewife in front of my relatives the other I’m shaking ass with my home girls and crushing on that fine girl with short hair. 

If you need something in the background and can relate with today’s title, I’m sure this, will be ya cup of chaa. 

Hope you enjoy!

EPISODE 14: DESI’S ON THE ✨SPECTRUM✨

On today’s episode I attempt to self-diagnose myself, talk about the importance of acknowledging neurodiversity, invalidate my brain ANDD try to figure out if I’m on the spectrum. 🙃

Imagine if our desi parents had access to the knowledge and education we have now, I wonder if they would’ve had an easier time understanding their brains. Being more aware of my parent’s mental health has helped give them more grace and allow for forgiveness. It only took 25 years :) 😗

I’m not a doctor, but I hope this episode inspires you to speak to your friends and family about mental health/ neurodiversity which hopefully results in you understanding each other better, and maybe you’ll figure if you’re on the ✨spectrum???✨

ENJOY!

Sat Sri Akal! On today’s episode I’ll be talking about the expectations of taking care of the elder generation and parents in the south Asian community. 

Firstly, has anyone realised I’ve uploaded a day later? No this wasn’t intentional and very unlike me, blame my WIFI :( To be honest it’s a happy accident to see what works better in terms of upload days. 

Being 25 has made me really appreciate the time I have with family and relatives because suddenly everyone is dying their grey hairs and adamant I need to start taking an arranged marriage seriously. Luckily for my parents they are less cunty and won their retirement ticket to being taken care of just in time. (Joke, I would have till taken care of them if they were cunty) 

As a desi woman, care giving has been deeply rooted in me so that’s what I talk about, do you feel the same, what do expectations look like for you when it comes to care giving and has your culture, relationship or faith played a role? 

Hope you enjoy!

It’s nice to finally see my parents enjoying life after waking up at silly hours of the morning! 

In todays episode I cover the conversation of brown people working overtime; never taking breaks, not receiving enough credit for their efforts, how different work life is in India and how I’ve truly enjoyed unemployment, what a blessing!!! ✨✨✨

Thank you for all the engagement, enjoy! ❤️✨

Yes, you did read that right.😅

Imagine being told you look fat before saying good morning in the house of GOD! Oh get a grip.😒

The thing is, I’m not really surprised but I also wonder if gossip culture is common in most places of worship? 🤨

Have a listen and let me know what you think, oki byeee! 😜

Enjoy ! ❤️

This episode is for anyone struggling with complicated family relationships, believe me I know how ugly it gets. 🥲

I thought the day would never come where I get to actually say that out loud… so me and my mum are now besties and we can finally sleep at night in peace. 🥹💤

After years of blocking, fighting, arguing and ghosting, my relationship with my mum has reached a point of acceptance, that we are no longer the people we once were and it’s comforting to know we both cared enough to move forward with forgiveness both to ourselves and each other. 🙏🏽

Your feelings of anger, resentment and frustration are valid and I’m not here to tell you to get on with your parents, do what feels right FOR YOU ! 🫵🏼

For all my friends, brothers and sisters, I hope this small win brings you a little comfort, and know that the younger Amma is smiling ear to ear 🩷🫰🏽😄

I’m back from traveling and reflecting on what feels like a never-ending checklist. AM I THE ONLY ONE FEELING THIS CHAOTIC??

Since 2024 has felt like Gotham City in real life—and let’s be honest, it’s a bit of a write-off—here are three lessons I’m taking into this year:

1️⃣ Listen to your intuition—it will guide you away from toxic situations.  

2️⃣ Time keeps ticking; don’t wait for the ‘perfect’ moment, live NOW! ⏳  

3️⃣ You can’t outrun your problems—they’ll catch up. Face them head-on!

What’s one lesson you’ve learned recently? 💬

ITS CHAA NOT CHAI FFS. I bet you’ve never tasted what real chaa tastes like, made on a chulla (open flame) with fresh cow’s milk off the cow on my left. Yeah, that’s a real village experience I had the other day. (see IG highlights for proof) ☕️ 🐄

When I tell you I’d love to live in India, I mean it. The village life is a simple life and on today’s episode I talk about just that. I share all the things I’ve learnt, how you must be grateful for what you have, and important tips for visiting the villages of Punjab. 🌾

If drinking chaa; learning about the lives of old people, visiting some of the world’s most beautiful temples, immersing yourself with history and culture, eating incredible Indian food and connecting with the earth sounds like your thing, tune in on today’s episode!!!

💖Produced in a day, all whist being sick best believe I love this podcast. Thank you as always for helping me decide what to talk about, I hope you enjoy what I create.

Much love, Amma!
