We're back with season 2!! Today's episode is an Indian Independence Day Special to all the independent single ladies out there, paying their own bills and for their automobiles. Our culture has normalized celebrating a ring on your finger and a corny wedding hashtag but we don't often celebrate - you. You, the woman who's learning about herself, you, the woman who's killing it at her job, you, th...

On this episode I share a personal story about the time that I dated a narcissist. Dating a narcissist to me is classified under going through an abusive traumatic experience. The kind where you always consistently find yourself stressed out, in flight or fight or fawn mode, along with moments of euphoria. Things look ideal but don't feel it. Suddenly your emotions work against you, you question y...

I have been thinking about the idea of success, of "making it". If you had to define it, could you? We're sold this dream of being successful, our generation is full of online success stories unlike any generation before them. But if it really came down to it, do we ever know when we've reached this destination? Follow us IG: @notallowedpodcast https://bit.ly/35WyYlK Host: @itsjanani https://bit.l...

Opposite sex friendships can get tricky in relationships. Especially if they're referred to as "best friends". When the lines get muddy and red flags start showing up, is it something you can be comfortable with? Insecurities are normal, toxic dynamics in relationships aren't. And can straight women and men actually be best friends? I don't know....I have doubts. Follow us!!  IG: @notallowedp...

I HATE it when guys think it's okay to comment while being subtly condescending. It's such a pet peeve of mine and it's not cute.

On this episode we discuss the age old question, a running joke amongst girlfriends - "I'm just automatically drawn to toxic guys, I don't know what it is about them"  - What kind of guy is considered toxic? How do you spot toxic behaviors? Why do we come across them so often? and what is it about them that's so attractive that even the smartest woman in the room has had a toxic man in her li...

I'm so SurPRiSeD you know Tame Impala! Do you even know what PuLp FiCtIon is? Have you ever watched a Quintin Tarantula film? I bet you listen to Taylor Swift. In this Tit Bit episode we talk about indie softboy "pick me" guys that make me breakout in hives with their niche requirements to be impressed by a woman.  Follow the podcast @notallowedpodcast https://www.instagram.com/notallowedpodc...

Let's talk about the ol' nubbin rubbin' and the stigma around it that burdens us with guilt. Female pleasure is not prioritized, not taught and definitely not spoken about often, hence -enabling- the stigma around it. Masturbation is wet with misogyny and we need it to stay away from the rights we have as women over our bodies and our pleasure. In this episode we talk about learning to ask for ple...

Welcome to TIT BITS!!! Tit sized or bite sized episodes of the podcast where we do storytimes, quick rants, thoughts of the day and talk about anything under 15 minutes. Tit bits are for those of us that have a hard time listening to entire episodes (hello ADHD, it's me Janani), and just want to tune in for some daily dose of entertainment without the commitment. So get your tits out, chill out an...

A little vulnerable episode where we talk about how getting lonely is part of being a bad bitch. I've coined a phrase for it - bad bitch loneliness, where not settling for less in life and keeping your standards high can come with a period of loneliness. We talk about societal milestones that we impose on ourselves, ideas of an ideal scenario and how things never happen according to our prediction...

Casual relationships, the most popular and in demand kind of relationship in this generation. Ironically the relationship that's the least bit casual and the one seemingly with the most rules to follow. Let's talk about the REAL reason why people seem to want this kind of non comital form of romance. Is it just for the sex? Is it to establish control? Is it fear of abandonment? Is it fear of getti...

Does the first date tell you all you need to know, signs of a good first date, spotting the red flags early on and not romanticizing the outcome too quickly. In this episode we dive into dating, Janani's personal first date stories, awkward first dates and the 5 green flags to spot. Dating is not easy, putting yourself out there is not easy and bad dates are plenty. But at least we get to share ou...

Dealing with an ‘almost relationship’, knowing what you’re looking for, players playing the ‘potential game’ and mediocre sex. It's the big V day and I'm here to eat my metaphorical box of chocolates in front of the TV, crying my eyes out and realizing that I'll never know true love. Have you also found yourself in one or many 'almost relationships'? Been cucked by 'players' leading you on with th...

I'm not afraid of putting a label on us - heyy girlfriend! Welcome to the first episode of our long committed relationship. We're at a cafe, chatting like girlfriends do, gossiping, complaining, learning and sharing stories to feel validated. We have a lot of ground to cover so let me kickstart by telling you what this podcast is going to be about, who I, Janani (your host), am and how we're here...
