Season 4, Episode 6: What does it really mean to raise kids between two cultures? In this episode of The Hardest Job Ever, we unpack the mental load of being first-gen South Asian moms in America, the guilt, pressure, and pride that come with keeping culture alive while raising toddlers who think in English but celebrate Diwali.

From language lessons that end in chaos to finding toddler-safe ways to celebrate Holi and Diwali, we get real about identity, guilt, and redefining what it means to be an “Indian mom” today. This is for every millennial mom trying to pass down culture without losing her sanity (or her snacks).

 Topics we cover:

• Growing up ashamed, now obsessed with culture

• Guilt around language, festivals, and “doing enough”

• The invisible mental load of preserving traditions

• How to make Indian culture fun (not forced) for our kids

• Blending two worlds without burning out

Tune in if you’ve ever asked yourself: Am I doing enough to keep our culture alive?

Because the answer might be gentler than you think.
