LKK Podcast Log Kya Kahenge Podcasts (What Will People Think/Say?)

Life experiences and growth. Conditional love and family expectations.
South-Asian culture and American/Candian/Western upbringing and influences.
Choosing your own path and facing hardships, broken relationships, and
gaining a deeper understanding of self-worth in the process. We talk about
all of the above and a lot more in introducing one of our newest LKK Log,
the beautiful and strong, Natasha Khawja-McGowan (@purposeandchai), ❤️ a
Pakistani-American/Canadian actress, blogger, and all-around positive
influence promoting a love for life we are so inspired by. ❤️

Tune in this week to hear Natasha talk about her take on life, the
difficulties she faced, and the beauty in finding the strength to keep
going regardless of what’s thrown her way. Our favorite piece of wisdom
Natasha shared with us? Feel the fear and do it anyway. ✨

Yes - this is us dreaming of sitting across the table and sharing in-person
convo over coffee or hot chocolate with our friends again. :) We are so
excited to be kicking off 2021 with a dear friend, Pree ❤️ (the wonderful
@secondgendesi) - talking about her adventures in Italy, 🇮🇹the realities
of learning new languages and culture 🌎, ambitious goals like PhDs, and
the balancing act of taking care of oneself 📚- and how tired we are of
‘new-year resolutions’ that are never meant to stick. ❌ Join us as we catch
up with Pree over Zoom (for now🤞) about transitioning into a new year and
how any new promises or resolutions with this turn around the Sun should
only be to ourselves - mind, body, and soul. ❤️🧘🏽

Meet Arushi (@arushilohiya) - a truly inspiring, wondrous spirit who shares
her journey of being brave through the pain and working hard every day,
using her energy towards making what others might have (mistakenly) seen as
her weakness into fuel for positivity and spreading awareness about what it
means to truly fight a chronic illness. She is the definition of not
worrying about ‘log kya kahenge’. ❤️

Joining us this week is Tina Aswani Omprakash, founder of @ownyourcrohns
and blogger, patient thought leader, super advocate and South Asian health
activist for chronic illnesses from our community! ❤️ ! ✨ Come along with
us as we talk about experiences living with chronic illnesses in the South
Asian community, accepting yourself first and the importance of choosing
individual health and life before the unfair (and often unrealistic)
expectations of the world of what “normal” is.

What’s better than catching up with a friend after a whole decade? When
that friend has had some amazing experiences, learnings, and lessons to
share with you just like your own! Meet Shayan Ali, the Lahori-Londoner,
film-maker, and fellow creative. 🙌🏽 Join us in listening to our session
with him as we talk about moving to Pakistan and back to London, crazy
teachers, nose rings, culture shocks (yes-plural!), and our shared path of
making it in creative fields as South Asians. Welcome to the LKK family,
Shayan! ❤️

Imagine telling your parents in 9th grade that you don’t want to go to
school anymore and then you actually don’t go for the next two years. This
one is long overdue but our next episode is a conversation with one of our
bravest Log (people) who is an inspiration to say the least. When
@aimen_malhi was talking to us about our first episode together, we had
planned to talk about bullying in schools but when we sat down to chat,
just the first ten minutes of listening to her story had us in awe. From
telling her parents as a teenager that she does not want to continue school
to embarking on a journey to self discovery all in the societal constraints
of the culture around her. Join us in this episode, “Full Circle” in
learning from a person who is single handedly spreading awareness about
mental health and what it means to really not care about log kya kahenge 🌟
