    S2 Ep 1 - The Red Flag Market; Gaslighting, toxic friendships and desi religiosity

    WELCOME BACK FRIENDS :)) You've probably stumbled upon this episode and wondered to yourself "Damn, where have these chicas been? I was missing their squeaky voices". Well, look no further, WE ARE BACK! We are starting off Season 2, Episode 1 with one of our favorite topics to discuss - Red Flags. They're around us at our workplace, our homes, within friendships and within us. The conversation around red flags is not new, but an important one to discuss and bring awareness about. Remember when someone told you that the choice you made for yourself was not right and you were inconsiderate towards others because you chose yourself before others? Yeah, that's called 'gaslighting' and it's a MAJOR red flag. In this episode, Talia and Mehru dive into some of the toxic traits they've seen in their friendships and what you can do to stay away from them. They also take a minute to reflect on their own positive and negative behaviors and make sense of it. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram: arzkiyahaipodcast. Love you and see you next time :*
