Turn Off The Ringer

Welcome back! This week, I wanted to chat about a rather personal, but real epiphany I had. As social media takes up more space in our lives, the pressure to always be on or share parts of us is only increasing. For me, that's looked like sharing content, making content and always looking for content. That is, up until the beginning of 2024. On this episode, I chat about my relationship with makin...

Welcome back to yet another episode! Today's episode felt special to record, and even "special-er" to share. A few days ago, I read a quote by Sylvia Plath that felt like the answer to a lot of the dilemmas I've been reflecting on. And so, I grabbed my phone and recorded a few ideas. Now, I have this episode as proof of that very moment. On this episode, I chat about identity, fe...

Welcome back! I wanted to take this week to reflect on a pattern we're all guilty of: goal-setting for the sake of goal-setting.

So I wanted to sit down and share a few things that have helped me set productive goals and really identify the th...

It feels so good to be back but I'd love to know what you want to hear m...

Welcome Back to an episode that I never thought I'd record! Dating is hard enough by itself, let alone dating as a desi person. With the social taboos and pressures that surround dating culture in the South Asian community, I thought it'd be fun to unpack some ways in which we can navigate the complex, but "navigate-able" desi dating diaspora. I'm not promising that this epis...

Welcome back! After graduating college, we're socialized to fit ourselves into boxes: either you get a full-time job, or you go back to school.
