    EP43: Learning about Nutrition (with Dr Saira Hameed) | South Asian, Food, Diet & Wellness

    Today we are talking all about diet, exercise and wellness with Dr Saira Hameed who is a consultant endocrinologist, with a sub- speciality in obesity medicine at Imperial College London, where she has designed, developed and trialled the highly effective Imperial-SatPro Weight Management Programme.

    She has written her first book The Full Diet which is a pioneering weight-loss programme; it distills the latest science of metabolism and appetite into clear, actionable advice. From choosing foods that keep us fuller for longer to understanding the connection between our gut and brain, The Full Diet uses cutting-edge science as a weight-loss tool.

    EP42: Creating a Cysterhood (with Neelam Kaur Heera) | South Asian, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, PCOS & Women’s Health

    EP42: Creating a Cysterhood (with Neelam Kaur Heera) | South Asian, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, PCOS & Women’s Health

    Back in 2020 I got to talk to Neelam, a TEDx Speaker and also the founder of Cysters- a charity focused on combating some of the misconceptions around reproductive health and is one of the only South Asian led charities in the UK who focuses on creating a safe space for women of colour who suffer from reproductive health issues.

    In the episode Neelam shares her story of being diagnosed with PCOS, what are the common symptoms & misconceptions around PCOS, the idea behind founding Cysters and why women’s health is such a big taboo in South Asian culture.

    For those who don’t know, PCOS stands for Polycystic ovary syndrome which affects the woman’s ovaries, caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones and sometimes cysts on the ovaries. Statistics show that 1 in every 10 women in the UK suffer from PCOS and worldwide it’s around 6-10% so it’s very common.

    EP41: Coming Out (with Sundeep Singh Boparai) | South Asian, Queer, LGBTQ+

    EP41: Coming Out (with Sundeep Singh Boparai) | South Asian, Queer, LGBTQ+

    We’re BACK! Kicking season 3 off with Sundeep Singh Boparai also known as KingSunnyB who is an American-Sikh who identifies with the LGBTQ Community. He is a model & influencer as well as an Healthcare Administrator for a LGBTQ+ Transgender Program. I met Sunny through Clubhouse back in April 2021 and that’s when this episode was recorded.

    Identity is a big thing for all of us and navigating the different parts of our identities can be really tough at times. In this episode Sunny shares his story of coming out as queer, allyship and what it means to him being homosexual when you are South Asian.

    You may need to get some tissues ready as it’s a very honest, deep and raw conversation!

    Season 3 Trailer

    Season 3 Trailer

    IT’S SEASON 3 TIME!

    This is the first time that I’ve taken my mic out in six months but it's finally time to release the rest of the episodes I recorded in 2020 and early 2021. In all honesty, this season was supposed to come out last year, but Indian timing so here we are.

    So what’s in store for season 3… In a few words, honest, educational and relatable conversations. I think the themes for this season are a bit more hard hitting as we go deeper into people’s stories around topics not many South Asian’s talk about publicly.

    Listen to find out more about what topics we are covering and when the first episode is launching

    Bonus Episode: Writing for Hollywood & Indian House Guest Culture (with Prathi Srinivasan) | South Asian, Screenwriting & Family

    Bonus Episode: Writing for Hollywood & Indian House Guest Culture (with Prathi Srinivasan) | South Asian, Screenwriting & Family

    Writing for Hollywood and creating stories sounds like such a dream job. Prathi does just that, she is an actress and screenwriter living in LA. She’s worked on latest season of Titans, on HBOMAX as well as writing Plan B which released on Hulu earlier this year.

    Prathi also wrote and starred in Bollyweird, an indie webseries that features a multi-cultural cast, a bisexual love triangle, and was shot entirely in quarantine. Available on YouTube (linked it down below)

    We talk about her journey into screenwriting, South Asian representation and Indian house guest culture because that in itself a shared experience many of us face.

    We also get into the deeper topics like finding the balance of being assertive without being labelled bossy and how obsessed Indian uncles & aunties still are about our love lives.

    Thank you so much for the support that you’ve given Season 2, I really appreciate it. Season 3 will be out in September 2021.

    EP40: Fitting in as a Brown Woman (with Sunandini) | South Asian, Racism, Body Image, & Bollywood

    Juggling our cultural identity has been a constant struggle for many of us. Today I’m joined by Sunandini, an entrepreneur and founder of Anrev Media, a marketing and tech solutions company.

    Sunandini shares her story of fitting in as a brown woman. From dealing with racism and an eating disorder at a young age to now being a serial tech entrepreneur.

    We talk about body image, casting couches, social media, the reality of having multiple businesses and so much more.

Great conservation

It’s a wonderful podcast saying all the right things that are so useful for young girls like me. Such intellectual conservations that are better than listening to music when travelling.
