Hi guys!!! This week I wanted to talk about why sometimes looks can be deceiving with an impromptu storytime included. I feel like people can be like wolves in sheep's clothing and sometimes everything is not what it seems… occasionally you have to learn the hard way especially if you're a trusting or naive person. Also on another note I'm really trying to let go of my people pleaser tendencies and what people will think of me - what's the worst the ‘aunty' going to do complain about me? Go ahead

Hi guys … since everyone loved last weeks episode and I have a few things to clarify … here we go again.. I promise I am not this unhinged irl

Hi guys!!! This week a light hearted episode was needed after last weeks being very negative so just a chatty catch-up with me! Also song of the week ( I forgot if I mentioned it) Morni by Raf Saperra.

Hi guys!!! so I obviously had to! Regarding the drama there was a lot going on which I didn't mention cos we didn't have enough time AND some people are actually still pissed off about a few things. A few families had a few issues from the outset meaning they didn't come to any of the home events just the wedding and reception. I defo feel more comfortable talking about my drama and issues with cousin A as that's my experience- this whole thing has made me see people differently.

Hi guys! So I have had quite the fortnight … tysm for being here and to everyone who missed me ily

I think there's something to be said about things left unfinished… I've left this episode unfinished because in real life there is no closure … no satisfying ending … my life recently has been so tumultuous that in every single of those situations I didn't get closure … I didn't get the ending I wanted … the ending I would write if I was the narrator of my life. I really didn't have the heart to finish this episode … and if I did my views would be different now - knowing what I know. Sometimes the only thing we can do is move on knowing that we did everything we could - I wish I could have done more maybe even been more. But for now I am just me and existing…

Hi guyssss!!! so I just watched the new Wuthering Heights movie after I had already recorded this and one quote that I think sums up what I was trying to say is when Catherine says “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same” ♥️

these past few weeks have been WILD to say the least. Also within the last week I've seen a handful of people who I haven't seen in over 10 years so that was weird.

this weeks daily doings … please can people stop with the drama. this week has been particularly rough tbh

so here it is … dare I say everyone's fave episode! Happy New Year guys wishing a prosperous and joyous 2026 to all of you and your family's

oopsie… so this was meant to go out yesterday but I had an absolute nightmare at the Christmas party … storytime coming soon - maybe? ❤️so here it is the last episode of 2025 - will be back in 2026 better than ever

Don't you just hate it when people are getting on your very last nerve …

Then I talk about slaying the single life (can you believe we are getting a buffy reboot).

Hi guyssss! Welcome back to the second episode of 2025!!! I wasn't feeling too well this week but still really wanted to do an episode because I do love it here and appreciate everyone who takes time out of their day to listen

Hi guyssss! Happy New Year to everyone!!! This is the FIRST episode of 2025. And as this year I am not doing New Year's resolutions as I don't find myself keeping to them. Instead I want to keep the consistency and momentum to continue the habits I built over 2024. So for this week's episode I thought a reflective episode for 2024 was needed. I share SOME of my faves form throughout the year. I do have a few more faves that I wanted to add but my indecisiveness let me down. There are so many things I loved during 2024. Now while it wasn't my best year ever; it wasn't extremely bad. Definitely a ‘meh' yr which involved navigating lots of ups and downs. Then I also have ranked the top 25 punjabi songs of 2024. I did this last year for 2023 and decided that I wanna do it again and I know that a lot of you also really like this episode. So hope everyone is excited for my personal rankings. Also in the episode I mention I want to expand my music taste and venture out to other genres. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations please let me know on my TikTok or email (thanks in advance for any suggestions). So a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for supporting me in 2024. I look forward to your continued support in 2025. thank you so much for being here

Hi guyssss HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Welcome to the LAST episode of 2024 very happy to have YOU here!!! This week's episode revolves around me doing a quick little guide for surviving the holidays with your family. I'm sure we ALL have those relatives that are a bit EXTRA. And it can make the holidays a little less fun and a bit more stressful (than they already are). So here are some tips that I will be using to survive the holidays. Also I have some movie and show recommendations that I will be watching this Christmas! I hope this helps you guys decide what to watch this Christmas! Also if you couldn't tell I'm very excited to watch the season finale of a show. Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrate!

Hiiii guysss this week I'm doing my updated Christmas gift guide. So this year I want to be mindful about how much I am consuming. Very often social media apps can make it seem like people need an excessive amount of gifts and other stuff like Christmas Eve boxes, December boxes ect … but this isn't the reality as most of that stuff will probably not get used. It's crazy to think that people spend that much and potentially put them self in debt for just that ONE day. I am here to tell you that should not be the reality. A majority of us have what we NEED to survive day to day life. So when we do ask for things for Christmas they are things we WANT and stuff that might be nice to have. But in no means a necessary or integral thing we need to survive. I do have a few gift ideas that would be good for a range of budgets as there are often more budget friendly versions or more expensive ones. To put it in perspective there are a pair of boots that I would like for Christmas. Would I be okay with getting the dupes of them?? Yes!! They will probably look similar if not the same at a fraction of the cost. In the grand scheme of things everyone's just living on a floating rock so who really cares?!? I have so many thoughts about a ‘normal consumption' christmas and how people encourage overconsumption. I think perspective is so important … because it's so easy to get influenced and swept up by social media and thinking that's what you should be doing. Does anyone else have any thoughts lmk??? Also welcome to my new personality for the next yr because I am obsessed with WICKED

Hiiii guyssss!! This weeks episode is about the job market and job hunting! Just a bit of a moan about how bad the job market and application process is at the moment lol.Also if anyone has been here for a while now you will know I'm obsessed with Bridget Jones Diary (oops… I think I may have even referenced the movie last episode). I even did an episode called Bridget Jones Diary or something … so I watched the trailer for the new movie and am gutted that it won't have Bridget and Mark as a couple ( SPOILER: as he has died in the movie/ they are following the books). Absolutely devastated that the new movie won't show them as a couple. I really liked the way the third movie ended and thought it was a good ending so hope the new movie won't ruin it too much. Additionally does anyone else have any theories of when they think rep tv is gonna be announced? I still think sometime next yr as anthology release info hasn't been announced for the UK. Although I think to announced reputation tv at the end of the eras tour would be iconic. Then obviously they would release it next yr. Still feeling very under the weather atm ( as I'm writing this I feel even worse than I did when I recorded this

Hi guyssss welcome back! First I share some updates about my anxiety and things I've done recently. I feel more okay going out and about at the moment. Which wouldn't have been possible last year so very happy about that.So this week I am going to be talking about regrets and my personal view on them. Sometimes we wish we did things differently or regret our choices. But it is through these regrets we learn, grow and become better people. These regrets and past choices have made us into who we are today … so while regrets live in the back of my mind and I would like to change somethings I did. The realisation that these things have made me into who I am today. Putting past regrets into perspective has allowed me to have grace for my old self; as I could only make the choices based on information I had at the time. I didn't realise the outcomes. But present me can learn from these regrets and have hope for future me. Then I talk about the NEVER single friend. The one who is always in a relationship. And often based their self-esteem and self-worth on being in a relationship. I talk about what people base their self worth on. Also how solely relying on external validation (e.g. relationship, job, career) and basing your worth on that external validation is very heartbreaking. You are amazing just the way you are. Thank you for existing

SPOOKY SZN HALLOWEEN EP: Hi guysss!!! This week is a semi-spooky episode for halloween.

Hi guysss! This week's episode is a storytime about extended ‘family' members who lie, scheme and play games. All very two faced behaviour to be honest. While I was unsure if I wanted to share this I always pride myself on being authentic and the truth is there are people who are like this and act this way. If anyone has dealt with people like this I feel for you. Anyway if you asked me now how I'm feeling about this. I'd say that it's okay because I don't wanna be anywhere that I'm not wanted. But truthfully while I'm hurt by their behaviour I'm not surprised because they have behaved this way before. The truth is people can't hide who they REALly are for long. Also the fact that this whole situation revolves around them lying, being two faced and scheming. Which is something I would not do. On top of this lots of other family members were involved and just went with it and thought it was okay is just unfathomable to me. So deciding where I stand with the others as well. Meaning it's not just one family who have done this but others as well as they went along with it. Honestly this whole situation has made me anxious and just feeling confused tbh. How I'm healing and moving on???Well that's such a process because no one wants to feel unwanted and lied to. First setting firm boundaries at the moment because I am no longer comfortable with or around them (the trust has been broken). And from now on being selective about what I share with them. Then focusing on me and doing things I like. So obviously listening to music, watching movies, watching comfort shows and maybe buying myself a treat/ pick me up ikyk

Hi guysss! This week I start by talking a bit more about my anxiety and the struggles that come with it. Then I talk about a new reality tv show I've currently watched called The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. And give my thoughts on it. (as someone who hates reality tv shows atm)Then share the Halloween/ scary movie recommendations that someone kindly sent in. (thank you so much if you're listening this week)

So guysss the juice is loose..

YAYYY!!! It's been 4 years since I started this podcast. When I started I did not think that I would do it for this long. So massive THANK YOU to you guys for being here and supporting me. I love and appreciate each and every one of you x This week's episode is about cheating in the age of social media. In this episode I start with talking about the ‘are we dating the same guy' group chats. And how easy it can be to cheat because of social media. Then I talk about what is worse emotional cheating or physical cheating. Also I talk about why cheating is a cowardly act. PSA: I'm not encouraging people to cheat (obvious if you listen to the episode in full) just discussing how social media can make it easy to cheat ect especially as hook up culture is so normalised atm. ✨Song of the week: Taste | Sabrina Carpenter ✨ also I'm obsessed with short n sweet atm. Also I talk about my favourite show atm which is Abbot Elementary and I have loved season 3 so much. I could talk about it all day tbh. Can't wait for season 4 so looking forward to that. Thank you guys for listening every week it means so much to me I am so grateful for you guys

do not have expectations from people because you will end up disappointed… if they have shown they same behaviour continuously why would they change now… Hiiii guys! I'm back! I was ill for a bit which is why there was no episode so sorry about that. But now I'm feeling much better. This week I talk about my cousins engagement and the events that took place. Honestly I can say that I left fairly annoyed and upset at their behaviour. The constant lies, manipulation and being left out has taken a toll on me. Moreover the fact they think it's okay to treat my mum like this as well speaks volumes since she has always been kind and respectful towards them. It was mentally exhausting having to deal with them which is why I will be distancing myself from them. I have learnt so much from this experience. On one had I was very excited that my cousin has found someone to spend his life with. On the other hand to be treated so disrespectfully by them has diminished my excitement. I will still be happy from them because everyone deserves love. But from now on I will be distancing myself from them because this whole experience has shown me that I need to put me first. I realised that people may not always change. And I do not wish to feel this way again. The best thing for me is not to have any expectations from people. Do not be fooled this incident is not limited to this engagement. This has been a long time coming … from not being close and left out of things since a young age. It has carried on to adulthood. It saddens me to say that I am not close with my cousins. But this is the truth and reality. It is even more hurtful to know that we were only invited to project a picture of perfectness to his in -laws. There is almost an unsaid obligation that you have to be there for them even if they have disrespected you and your family. Honestly it is not worth it for me. As I said previously I want to protect my peace. Which will mean distancing myself from them as I have been doing. Sometimes when my expectations are shattered and I feel hurt. I know it's because I would have NEVER treated them the way they treated me. I would have never done the things that they did. Only because that is not who I am. And as I said previously I do not wish to be like them. So I will be rising above their behaviour and still protecting my peace. As I have been so mentally exhausted from their lies, manipulation and behaviour. A lot of extended family relationships can be complicated which is why I want to share what I am going through because it's not all happy and shiny like social media sometimes leads us to believe. I am always learning, I am always healing. I have gotten to a place where I feel like everything is constantly changing. And I can always better myself. Now that I know better I can focus on applying this into my daily life. I am glad that the reality of who they are is now visible. As people are good at hiding who they often are. Just knowing that aunt is a disrespectful and manipulative person will allow me to protect my peace in the present and future. Also knowing that cousins behaviour is probably from what their parents taught them because they don't know any different. Makes me think that things could have been different. But sadly they are not. This is the reality that I have to deal with. And I am okay with it because you can't miss what you never had … so why did I expect things to be different now??? Maybe it was misguided happiness??? Or silly optimism??? What ever the reason was I thought things were gonna be different. But sadly left disappointed when they weren't.I'm am so grateful for my friends that support me and uplift me. Who are always there when I need them. Can I say l am always grateful that I can share my experience and what I am going through on here. Thank you all for being here

Hi guyssss! So this week I talk about the TikTok trend of underconsumption vs overconsumption. I discuss how social media has changed the way we follow trends and purchasing habits. I also talk about consumption in relation to desi clothes and how that is also changing. I also talk about my own option on consumption and how it will vary based on people and their lifestyle. ✨Song of the week: close to you Gracie Abrams✨ hope everyone listening has a lovely week

Hi guysssss! This week I talk about not inviting drama and just focusing on your own things. I also discuss how I am trying to deal with people who want to involve me in drama. Currently I am focusing on distancing myself from these types of people by recognising that they only msg me when they want something. Also moving forward I am going to be more private with personal details. What I have learnt is that maintaining a healthy distance from these people is best for now. This is because time and time again they have shown through their actions that they do not respect or appreciate me. It has taken a long time to realise this and that what they say doesn't ever match up to their actions. I am constantly learning about myself and others. This has made me really appreciate those in my life that truly care about me and are honest/ upfront with me. I am still healing and will probably make mistakes. But I'm hoping that this change will help me grow and heal into the person I want to be. I don't blame my past self for being the way that I am as we are constantly evolving, growing and learning about ourselves and other people. Hopefully this effort and mindset change will help me enter my drama free peaceful era. ✨ song of the week: the archer by taylor swift ✨ thank you to everyone for listening next episode will be longer

Hi guysss! So for some reason the last few weeks have turned into my personal diary. But I love being honest about what I'm going through and how I am feeling just on the off chance someone else listening feels like that as well; you are not alone. This week has had a lot of good and some bad. But I have loved every minute of the good and am so grateful for everyone and everything. ✨Song of the week: please please please | Sabrina Carpenter ✨ Hope everyone listening has a lovely week
