Of Hope and Perseverance

In this final episode of Season 1, I discuss the most important relationship that we have in the world- yes, the relationship you have with yourself.

In this episode I sit down with Dr. Yashoda Bhaskar, an immigrant physician from India who is a board certified Internist and a life coach. We talk about her life coaching practice which involves  coaching women physicians in their relationship with money.  Her philosophy is that financial freedom is key to developing control of one's professional and personal life, giving physicians choice to create a work-life balance that works.

She tells us why it is so important to be in charge of your finances especially as women since we live longer than our male counterparts and are often in charge of financial decisions in our homes.
Her story leaves us feeling inspired about needing to seize opportunities that come along the way and to be okay with the path less traveled.

Do we know why we judge each other and so harshly at that? I am taking a deeper dive into the psychology behind judgement and why our brains are so wired to do this.

After experiencing alienation and discrimination from her in-laws, Tales of a Modern Buhari  (TMB) was born. In this deeply moving episode about the intricacies of the relationship with our in-laws, we explore how and why the modern saasu/buhari (mother-in-law/daughter-in-law) relationship is in some ways the same where there is an expectation that the new daughter-in-law is subservient to the family. And when there are differences in opinion, the woman caves. That's how the dynamics are. TMB shares stories of daughter-in-laws who confide in her and how she feels torn at their plight.

My guest this week is Itisha Giri, host of Boju Bajai - a podcast which features two Nepali women who talk about everything that matters to women. She is also a writer and poet. We discuss our shared experience of having grown up in a largely patriarchal boarding school which was by and large an extension of the society we grew up in and the challenges that young women face who have found their voice but are not given that space to be heard. We talk about the genesis of Boju Bajai Youtube series and why Boju Bajai feel so strongly about the need to have female representation and visibility in webinars.
