Ever heard of mom guilt? Ugh! It's such a part of our parenting journey! How hard is it to go through mom guilt especially when you have a younger kid and a newborn at home? Listen in.

So glad to be back online after ages of a self-imposed social media ban! Ha! Find out why I stepped back from Instagram, what made me come back and what else is exciting in my not so firecracker of a life! ;) Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/yeti-music/chasing-balloons

In an age and time when Instagram is quite the lifestyle element in our lives, how can we make the most of it? In this episode I share some things that you can do and not do to make this space work for you!

I firmly believe that being productive has helped me up my parenting game to the next level. When I planned this episode, I actually wanted to call it 'A thousand things on my mind' because that's how I felt most often with family, work and myself to take care of. Talking to Shailaja V, blogging and productivity coach, I try to understand why productivity is so much sought after and how we can mak...

The current pandemic spread has caught all our lives in a tight grip. It's hard to say what's more overwhelming, the actual virus spread or the fact that this quarantine has changed our lives so much in recent times. I share my two cents on how to be a more 'grounded' parent in these situations. Would be super happy to hear your thoughts and ideas too.

Well, it might not be the most directive title for this episode, but ultimately isn't it our choice to do what we wish to do? In this episode I talk to three amazing mothers who have interesting perspectives on the pressures a mother faces to get back to work or to 'do better' with her professional qualification. Does branching off from mainstream into something she likes and feels passionate abou...

2020 is here! Huge moment for most of us who believe in how a new year is basically a refresher course of sorts, allowing us to be better versions of ourselves. Instead of resolutions (that we make and break so badly) why not work on finding our calling? Here's how I intend to do that! 

Finally I get down to talk about decluttering! While this isn't your everyday 'Marie Kondo' style boxes and organizers kind of decluttering, it is definitely important as you head into a new year! I managed to chop chop chop something that's been taking SO much space in my sacred circle, that now post decluttering I am ready to welcome more into my life! Go on, read this and get cleaning up as wel...

With 2019 almost wrapping up, what are you most looking forward to? Hear me talk about the signs I found in the past one week and how I am interpreting them for the year and decade ahead! Believer or not, you'd sure agree with me! ;) Listen in! P.S.: Recorded with the 'pleasant' background notes of my kids having a gala time in the next room! ha ha ha!

Something special happened to my podcast and it made me want to talk about friendships, bonds and gratitude. A week left for the year and a whole decade to end. So, here's some good inspiring heart warming talk! :) 

In the times of social media, being seen is very easy. But being heard is another story altogether! As we whiz past things in life, lets hone a skill that's of utmost importance right now - to be a better listener. Believe me, it has so much power that you could be changing lives by just putting your ears to good use! 

Find yourself incessantly staring and scrolling despite all the chaos that arises around you? Feel extremely low and demotivated as a mum because someone somewhere does something way better than you? Well, the 5inch long gadget in your hand might be the cause. No screen time not just works for kids, but for mums too. Why and how? Listen to my podcast to find out! :)

Looks are external, happiness is internal! Right? Maybe not. These days Insta-celebs go beyond the realms of common sense to promote ideals that plunge mothers into guilt and body shaming. Here's what happened last week on the gram!

Waking up early is one life skill that I believe every parent needs. I went from being a sleepaholic to someone who loves waking up before dawn! It's so life changing that I'd like to share how I did it!

Some say 'parenting is easy', while some other think otherwise. However you look at it, parenting needs work. You could be a laid back parent or an extremely proactive one, but you have to bring to the table some stuff that is going to make it work for your kid & you. In this episode, I discuss five thoughts that have made me take a more open & mindful approach to parenting my two kids. Th...

"Is this going to matter five years from now?" is a quote I keep asking myself when I talk to people or respond to situations these days. This episode is very difficult for me as I have opened up about something that's weighing me down for a decade plus now. Listen in and tell me what you think I should do! 

The brilliant thing about parenting is that you get an upgrade every now and then. Right now, I just got an upgrade as a 'school kid's parent' and it's a whirlwind of emotions within! From nostalgia to retrospection, there's a lot happening in these 9 minutes! Listen in! :)

Here's a question that's been buzzing in my head for long. Why hate when you can choose to do different? listen in and let me know what you think!

Do you set goals for yourself? If yes, what kind? If no, why not? I am sitting at my dinner table, jotting down goals for the year ahead, because its birthday month and that means a Take-2 at the goals I had in mind. How does one set simple and realistic goals? How do we stay accountable. Let's talk about that and more in this episode!

The Lazy Parent comes back after a mini break to discuss how she feels about body positivity. Listen in and share your thoughts too

How hard is it to be a gentle parent and a gentler human being at that. The Lazy parent talks about her challenges in this journey with her two kids.

 The Lazy Parent ponders upon the concept of slowing down. In our rushed daily lives, can we make effort to pause for a little bit and savour the small things. After all, it is the small things that bring great joy, right?  

Lazing around coconut farms made me pause (literally) and think about what is essential for our children. A fresh perspective to something we know already! Listen in!
