Why does this one sentence have so much power over our lives?
In this episode, we’re unpacking the fear of being talked about - by aunties, by family, by friends, and by people who don’t even know us that well. From the choices we don’t make, to the dreams we shrink and to the versions of ourselves we keep hidden… all because we’re scared of what other people might think.
We talk about how this mindset is passed down, why it hits harder in brown and collectivist cultures, and the emotional toll of constantly living for external approval. I share personal stories and the slow (very imperfect) process of unlearning people-pleasing and choosing myself instead.
If you’ve ever paused your life because of “log kya kahenge,” this episode is for you. Consider this a gentle reminder that other people’s opinions are loud - but they don’t get to run your life.
