    Is This Normal? (Couple Edition)

    Naked Work From Home Tuesdays. Synchronized bathroom schedules. Poking each other in the butt. Telling your partner you find someone else attractive. …Is that normal, or are you just built different? From couples who sleep in separate beds to the ones who make up full choreographed dances together, we're covering it all. Spoiler: you're probably weirder than you think. And honestly? So are we. Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛 New episodes every Monday at 7 am. Don’t forget to subscribe, and as always, we love you!

    My Own People Say I'm Not Indian Enough

    I say words wrong. I can't cook Indian food on my own. And apparently… I can't even do garba right… Hallie had to teach me once she learned. 😅 The South Asian community, especially Gujjus, let me know about it constantly. This week on Half Past Chai, Suketu gets into all the flack he catches from his own community, both in India and online. But this episode isn't just for Gujaratis. It's for anyone who's ever been told they're not enough of their own kind… not Indian enough, not Black enough, not Latino enough, not whatever enough. If you've ever felt like an outsider in your own culture, this one's for you. ☕ Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛 New episodes every Monday at 7 am.

    Should I Feel Guilty for Living My Own Life?

    This week on Half Past Chai, we're tackling one of the most emotional topics we've ever covered: the guilt that comes with choosing your own path when your family sees it as betrayal. From moving out, to not wanting an arranged marriage, to choosing a partner your parents didn't pick, we're reading your stories and getting into why so many first-gen kids carry this weight. We talk about setting boundaries without cutting ties, what it looks like when your family's love comes with conditions, and how to stop feeling selfish for simply wanting to live your life. Now settle in, get cozy, and grab your chai. 💛 New episodes every Monday at 7 am. Don’t forget to subscribe, and as always, we love you!
