Welcome!

Our podcast is meant to capture honest conversations between two generations of South Asian women. Our aunt and niece relationship is special because even though we may challenge each other’s beliefs, we always end up laughing at the end of it all, strengthening our bond. So join us, as we embark on this authentic and fun journey of reflection and exploration.

No topic is off-limits.
