What Diwali used to Be vs What It’s Now

Anxiety in Indian Homes: How to Start the Conversation

How do you explain anxiety to your parents when they call it “just stress”?

In this episode, Simran & Isha open up about what it’s like to deal with anxiety in Indian households, where mental health isn’t always recognized — or understood.


We talk about:

  • The stigma around mental health in desi families

  • What helped us start healing
  • And why it’s you and your family vs the problem — not each other

High-Achiever Pressure? Let’s Talk.

Ever tried to be the responsible one, the overachiever, or the girl who’s always “okay” — just to feel enough?

In this episode, we unpack the invisible “awards” we've been chasing our whole lives. 
From seeking universal approval to never failing and pushing ourselves into burnout, we dive deep into what these expectations have cost us — and what finally helped us let them go.

It’s not always easy to admit we’re not okay, but sometimes, opening up is the first step to letting go of the pressure we put on ourselves.


Expect a mix of laughs, realizations, and those “wait… same!” moments.
This one’s personal, reflective, and relatable.

🎙 Hosted by Simran & Isha — two online friends navigating life one honest conversation at a time.

Join us as we talk about life’s ups and downs, and how embracing imperfection might just be the key to finding peace.
