EP53: Navigating Breast Cancer, motherhood & the stigma of cancer in the South Asian community with Priyanka

October is Breast Cancer awareness month and did you know that 58% of people in the UK (31 million people) hold 'outdated’ views about cancer with that rising to 77% of people from ethnically diverse backgrounds according to Macmillan Cancer Support, one of the UK’s biggest cancer support charities. 

Cancer is not commonly spoken about in the south asian community and there is still a lot of stigma around the topic which those affected by cancer might not have anyone to turn to get the right support or have the right information. 

Macmillan is warning that with more people living with cancer than ever before it’s never been more important for people to be aware of the accurate and trusted support available. 

For information, support or just someone to talk to, call Macmillan’s free, confidential Support line 7-days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or visit macmillan.org.uk/whateveryouneed. 

Today I’m joined by Priyanka Pandya, a mother of two and children’s life coach who was diagnosed with Grade 3 triple negative breast cancer in May 2022 who joins the podcast to share her story with battling Breast Cancer and tackling the stigma of cancer within the South Asian Community.

Happy Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas! ✨

We are trying something new on the podcast this week and doing a South Asian holiday deep dive and breaking down why different religions like Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism celebrate Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas.

So today we are learning more about Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas! If you are celebrating, wishing you loads of love and light 💛

Love,

EP51: How to stop feeling anxious about your birthday | Birthday pressure, birthday anxiety and honest thoughts on turning 30

Birthdays are supposed to be a time of celebration but to many of us it can also bring up a lot of anxiety and dread. It’s safe to say that I have a bit of a complicated relationship when it comes to my birthday. Growing up I loved my birthday, from 90’s bhangra music blasting in the living room to knowing that there was going to be cake and presents at the end of the night but the older I’ve gotten the more I’ve started to dread my birthday. 

In this solo podcast episode I share my thoughts on why I have a love-hate relationship with birthdays. Breaking down the reasons why I feel birthday anxiety that lead to my annual birthday breakdowns, how for many South Asian women birthdays are tied to self-worth, pressure and milestones, my honest thoughts on turning 30 and tips and advice to overcome the birthday pressure and actually just enjoy turning older. 

If you are someone who also dreads their birthday or feels anxious around their birthday, trust me you’re not alone! 

Love, 

Preeti

EP50: Feeling confident in our skin with Simmy | Living with Eczema, Beauty Standards and Self Acceptance

Many of us live with skin sensitivities, whether that’s eczema, rosacea, psoriasis etc which can often affect our daily lives but these conditions can also influence our self-image and our definition of beautiful especially in this world of ever changing beauty standards.

EP48: Why are our 20s so confusing?

They say your 20s are the best time of your life but what they fail to mention is how confusing it can be. In this episode we are breaking down the two biggest reasons we feel so lost in this decade: comparison and time.

We will get into why these two pressures keep us stuck, and the mindset shifts that will help you stop overthinking, trust your own path and actually enjoy this chapter of your life…because let’s be honest, our 20s are messy, magical and incredibly confusing.

Life in your 20’s can sometimes be a roller coaster- it’s the decade of growth, figuring out who you are and navigating life being a fully fledged adult. Your twenties is where for the first time everyone’s path goes in a different direction but also according to society the decade we are supposed to have it “all figured out”- which is a lot of pressure.

We’ll be talking about our careers and hobbies- how we balanced our careers whilst studying for professional exams and how we felt training for bhangra competitions.

EP42: Creating a Cysterhood (with Neelam Kaur Heera) | South Asian, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, PCOS & Women’s Health

Back in 2020 I got to talk to Neelam, a TEDx Speaker and also the founder of Cysters- a charity focused on combating some of the misconceptions around reproductive health and is one of the only South Asian led charities in the UK who focuses on creating a safe space for women of colour who suffer from reproductive health issues.

In the episode Neelam shares her story of being diagnosed with PCOS, what are the common symptoms & misconceptions around PCOS, the idea behind founding Cysters and why women’s health is such a big taboo in South Asian culture.

For those who don’t know, PCOS stands for Polycystic ovary syndrome which affects the woman’s ovaries, caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones and sometimes cysts on the ovaries. Statistics show that 1 in every 10 women in the UK suffer from PCOS and worldwide it’s around 6-10% so it’s very common.

EP41: Coming Out (with Sundeep Singh Boparai) | South Asian, Queer, LGBTQ+

We’re BACK! Kicking season 3 off with Sundeep Singh Boparai also known as KingSunnyB who is an American-Sikh who identifies with the LGBTQ Community. He is a model & influencer as well as an Healthcare Administrator for a LGBTQ+ Transgender Program. I met Sunny through Clubhouse back in April 2021 and that’s when this episode was recorded.

Identity is a big thing for all of us and navigating the different parts of our identities can be really tough at times. In this episode Sunny shares his story of coming out as queer, allyship and what it means to him being homosexual when you are South Asian.

You may need to get some tissues ready as it’s a very honest, deep and raw conversation!

Season 3 Trailer

IT’S SEASON 3 TIME!

This is the first time that I’ve taken my mic out in six months but it's finally time to release the rest of the episodes I recorded in 2020 and early 2021. In all honesty, this season was supposed to come out last year, but Indian timing so here we are.

So what’s in store for season 3… In a few words, honest, educational and relatable conversations. I think the themes for this season are a bit more hard hitting as we go deeper into people’s stories around topics not many South Asian’s talk about publicly.

Listen to find out more about what topics we are covering and when the first episode is launching

Bonus Episode: Writing for Hollywood & Indian House Guest Culture (with Prathi Srinivasan) | South Asian, Screenwriting & Family

Writing for Hollywood and creating stories sounds like such a dream job. Prathi does just that, she is an actress and screenwriter living in LA. She’s worked on latest season of Titans, on HBOMAX as well as writing Plan B which released on Hulu earlier this year.

Prathi also wrote and starred in Bollyweird, an indie webseries that features a multi-cultural cast, a bisexual love triangle, and was shot entirely in quarantine. Available on YouTube (linked it down below)

We talk about her journey into screenwriting, South Asian representation and Indian house guest culture because that in itself a shared experience many of us face.

We also get into the deeper topics like finding the balance of being assertive without being labelled bossy and how obsessed Indian uncles & aunties still are about our love lives.

Thank you so much for the support that you’ve given Season 2, I really appreciate it. Season 3 will be out in September 2021.
