#Shaadi season is upon us! And while weddings are all about love and celebration, there’s always this pressure to look hot that comes along with it. In this episode of Girl Guppa, we reminisce about our younger days when looking like a Sabyasachi model was the ultimate goal—even if it meant freezing in our glamorous lehengas and sarees during the chilly winter months! We explore the uncomfortable reality of women’s traditional outfits vs. the ease of men’s sherwanis and kurtas, diving into the double standards of fashion. Have we finally evolved enough to prioritise comfort over everything? Join us as we discuss how our relationship with wedding fashion has changed, and why it's time to embrace the shift towards self-care and confidence. If you're curious about how to survive shaadi season without sacrificing comfort for glamour, this episode is for you!

Death and grief are universal experiences, yet they remain some of the hardest topics to talk about. Why is it so difficult to discuss death? What should you say to someone who’s grieving? Is there a 'right' way to grieve? In this episode of Girl Guppa, we have an honest and open conversation about death and grief, sharing our own experiences and highlighting how each person's journey through loss is different.
We explore the various ways people cope with grief, the emotions they experience, and the challenges of finding the right words to support someone who is mourning. This episode delves into what to say (and what to avoid) when comforting someone and discusses whether there's a "correct" way to grieve.
Join us for this candid discussion as we break down the stigma around talking about death. We provide insights and personal stories to help navigate the complex emotions that come with loss. Whether you're grieving yourself or supporting a loved one through their grief, this episode offers valuable perspectives on managing one of life’s most difficult experiences.

In light of the recent #KolkataHorror, we decided to release this episode earlier than planned to address the burning issue of women’s safety. In this episode, we explore how society has manipulated us into believing that the burden of safety falls solely on women. This constant vigilance makes it impossible for women to truly relax or enjoy themselves without the fear of a potential predator lurking nearby. While we acknowledge that #NotAllMen engage in predatory behavior, it's undeniably #AllWomen who face the daily anxieties and challenges associated with the threat of harassment.
This episode is dedicated to those who couldn’t speak up, and challenging the toxic narratives that place the blame on victims instead of addressing the underlying societal problems. We discuss the importance of shifting the conversation to focus on creating a safer environment where women can live without the constant fear of being targeted. By acknowledging these issues and taking collective responsibility, we can work towards genuine change and a safer future for all women.

Why do people feel compelled to change their appearance? Have social media trends and unrealistic beauty standards gone too far? This week, we discuss the rapid rise of plastic surgery, toxic trends driven mostly by celebrities, and the mental health repercussions of it all.

What defines a ‘pick me’ girl? Why their need for male validation can often get toxic? In this episode, we dive deep into the world of ‘pick me’ and the flawed system that pits women against each other for male validation. We delve into the cultural and societal factors that encourage these behaviors, shedding light on how they undermine genuine connections among women.
Join us as we break down stereotypes, share personal experiences, and celebrate the strength of women supporting women and tell you how to not fall into this social trap and how embracing true sisterhood is much more fulfilling.
