    EP16-Life in a MetroCanada - जिन्दगानी दर्पनछाया

    Was it wrong to leave Nepal or is it wrong that we somehow survive as international students in a foreign land? What is wrong, the system that sets people up for failure or not trying too hard? जिन्दगीमा धेरै मानिसहरु भेट्टीछन् , कोही बताश जस्तै आउछन अनि जान्छन् कोही धेरै मिठो साथ र स्मृति दिएर जान्छन्। जो कोही पनि आएका छन् , केहि न केहि सिकाएरनै जान्छन्।  आज को सिख र नैतिकताचै अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विद्यार्थीको पाठ !

    EP15-Why ain't Stability=Happiness? - सम्बोधन तिमीलाई गर्दै छु

    Growing up Nepali meant SLC posters screaming ‘Padhne le khane,’ 6 AM tuition before school, and Aama’s daily mantra: ‘Thulo manche bannu parcha! …Happy? K happy?’ Now we’re adults—traumatized by Excel sheets, soothed by podcasts, and stuck between ‘manche le k bhancha’ and ‘what even is my purpose?’ This show is for every kid who got the tiger parenting glow-up (and the therapy bills to match). We’re dissecting the ‘stable job vs. sanity’ debate, surviving cultural whiplash, and remixing our roots without guilt. Because let’s be real: if we don’t laugh about ‘kina 95%? 100% kaha gayo?’, we’ll cry into our momo plate. 🎙️ #TigerParentSurvivors #NepaliAndConfused #storyoflamalife

    EP14- c'est la vie - जिन्दगी येस्तै हो मुलासाग !

    Nepali by genes, Canadian by citizenship, confused by life. Welcome to season 2 of Wise and Wild, where I fight with the sheer crisis and try to win the weekly battles of what makes our lives the way we are. Nepali culture ma ‘समाजले के भन्चन’, Canada ma ‘therapy is self-care’. My life? A messy remix. Podcast ma sabai kura ‘huss ra thik cha’. A spreadsheet of emotions, a dash of cultural chaos, and 15-20 minutes of ‘WTF am I doing?’—all served with a side of momo and poutine together. For anyone who’s ever Googled ‘Is my life just an unresolved trauma?’ during their lunch break, this podcast is 100% for you. (We’ll get through this. One day. Maybe)

    EP13-Maya: Love Within and Beyond कस्तो चाहियो त ?

    Through raw conversations, and soulful insights, we’ll journey through what it means to love — romantically, platonically, and most importantly, inwardly — as Nepalis in a changing world. Whether you're healing, growing, or falling in love for the first time, I guess we are all beautiful messiness of some sort.

    EP12- Two different worlds: Being a First Generation Milennial

    Choices are made and maybe for the better. Sadiksha became involved in the new culture relatively quickly, particularly by attending school pursuing nursing. While grateful and modest about choosing a demanding career, she also shares sufficient aches and pains about the choices with the new world to become socially integrated, and the struggles of the exhausted frontline staff. While the praises are well deserved, it’s also time to recalibrate our thoughts for technical career vs emotional capacity.

    EP11- Career Choices and Value System

    Intrinsic values are intangible motivators that make people love themselves and their careers. The definition of a career value can differ from that of someone else’s and does not have to match the official description. Do we really study school to find a clue about our career that's valuable or do we learn our intrinsic values by taking a risk? Sunita and Mamata share their emotional journey of what career means to them.

    EP10-Set intentions, not resolutions

    When we set an intention, we leave ourselves open to new ways of thinking supporting the behavior we want to change. However, change comes with an obligation. Jindagi garo cha ni hou!

    EP9-Fostering warmth, acceptance and validation of a new world

    Is home a place? A person? A memory? The constant seeking of comfort, a new chapter, a fresh start, safety, and unity? We are here to explore with Sunita and Mamata. We delve into the full expressions of ourselves outside of what we are taught to believe. Old news, apparently, we need a tsunami to achieve equality.
