What happens when two Indian women—from different parts of the world—sit down to talk about parenting, patriarchy, and psychiatry? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sidhana, a psychiatrist based in India, for a cross-continental conversation rooted in truth-telling, compassion, and curiosity.
We reflect on what it means to be raised in systems where “the stricter the parent, the more rebellious the child,” and how “children notice the subtle signs” long before we think they do. We speak for the marginalized, question what we’ve normalized, and explore how" it’s time to break the generational curse."
This episode is a call to change the narrative, treat our daughters and sons equally, and understand that a "true gentleman is actually empathetic."
We explore the emotional worlds of young people—the silence, the self-blame, the identity crises that happen behind closed doors—and how adults can do better by simply learning to listen.
We’re igniting one mind at a time—and this episode is an opportunity to reflect on how mental health is viewed and handled across continents, and how much work we still have to do.
Let’s break the stigma. Together.
