    DEAR EX PODCAST SERIES: 
    Welcome to Dear EX, a new podcast series from the creators of The Mohua Show. In this podcast show, we will speak to individuals who've had the courage to call it quits in their relationships and marriages when it wasn't working any longer.
    We will discuss the dreaded D word of divorce, which most of us shy away from. 

    DearEX will speak to once married, now single folks, people going through heartbreak, counsellors and lawyers to bring you honest, drippy truths of what it took to say no more. We all know to call it quits isn't easy. To D or not to D isn't really an easy question to answer. 


    Episode 1: 
    In the first episode of our Dear EX, Namrata Chadda joins us to delve into the intricacies of divorce, exploring gender bias, societal pressures, and the pursuit of personal freedom. With over two decades of experience in addressing violence against women, Namrata offers valuable insights into the emotional challenges and societal norms both men and women face during and after a marital dissolution. 

    We discuss the impact of gender discrimination within the institution of marriage and motherhood, as well as the role of the media and society in shaping stereotypes. Through engaging stories and the metaphor of a bird's life, we underscore the importance of personal independence and encourage listeners to reflect on their own paths to self-discovery post-divorce. 

    Join us for a candid conversation that navigates the complexities of ending a marriage and the bravery required to rebuild and reclaim one's identity.

Amazing podcast

nanju, the listener ,

Empathy in words

Mohua has a distinct way to connect with her guests and the topics. While empathy has a way to create or generate a bias, she does take stand and at the same time you are in the conversation with your own perspective, some times agreeing and some times disagreeing but never at odds for disagreeing with her.
Keep it coming.
