Akka's Unsolicited Advice

Aarthi

Welcome to Akka’s Unsolicited Advice, where eldest South Indian daughters finally get the mic (because we’ve always had the opinions). If you’ve ever been the family’s built-in babysitter, unpaid therapist, cultural translator, and emotional shock absorber all before hitting puberty, this one’s for you. Each episode serves up stories, unsolicited (but spot-on) advice, and big sister energy with a side of sarcasm. Whether you’re the resident akka or just need one in your life, come validate your oldest-daughter trauma with us. No filter, no apologies, just a lot of love and probably some judgment.

    Unlearning and Rewriting the Gender Rules

    Send us a text Our parents meant well, but love doesn’t always protect us from stereotypes. In this episode, we talk about how gender shaped our upbringing: the expectations placed on daughters, the freedoms given to sons, and how we watched our parents perform their own gender roles. Now that we’re older, we’re learning to question those patterns, challenge the “that’s just how it is” mindset, and redefine what equality looks like in our own lives, one Akka conversation at a time.

    Send us a text Welcome to Akka’s Unsolicited Advice, the podcast for every eldest daughter who had to figure it all out first. I’m Aarthi: recently graduated physician, lifelong big sister, and expert in unsolicited wisdom. In this intro episode, I’m sharing why we started this podcast, what it means to grow up as the South Indian eldest daughter, and what you can expect from the conversations ahead. Think sisterhood, storytelling, and advice you didn’t ask for, but definitely need.
