So this week I give some galentine's ideas and activities that I think would be soo fun. I also recently saw people doing solo dates and I really want to start doing that as well. Then I talk about slaying the single life (can you believe we are getting a buffy reboot). Also people check on your single friends this valentines because someone's worth isn't tied to whether they are in a relationship or not. And the state of dating is so rough out here.Those people in a relationship just know is such a privilege to find someone who you love and can be yourself with

Hi guyssss *cue* PLL into… this week I talk about being a girls girl. I talk about if you knew a friend or family member is committing infidelity would you tell. Is being a girls girl more important than family. Also I talk about how people are so brazen about cheating.PSA: THIS IS A HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO ME AND MY FRIEND WERE DISCUSSING. NO ONE I KNOW IRL ATM HAS CHEATED OR IS INVOLVED IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO

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

SURPRISE GUYS!!!! So an extra episode this month and it is an update of last weeks so if you haven't listened to that go listen to that as well. Last episode I was more calm, logical, understanding and rational. But this week I am actually livid about people's behaviour recently with them handling situations badly and being intentionally cruel in a sense. The best advice I have received from this situation is from one of my friends who said people are not gonna be who you want them to be and don't have any expectations from them. ✨song of the week: pretty isn't pretty | Olivia Rodrigo✨ Also I do appreciate honesty and the truth so just say what you wanna say. What I do not appreciate is lies, manipulation, mind games, thoughtless words and being intentionally cruel. This week has been rough to be honest and I am still kinda going through it. I've been really upset due to this behaviour and really angry because I know that I wouldn't treat them the way they have treated me this week. This whole situation has made me lose respect for these people which is extremely difficult to re-earn. It has also showed people's intentions and what place I have in their lives. Although future me might thank them for showing what they really think of me; so I know not to trust them in the future or tell them anything private/ secret and share anything I may be excited about. Current me has differing thoughts because I feel like an idiot and a bit silly because I really did trust them and think that they were good people. Obviously this has turned out to not be the case but oh well not my loss. For me the best thing I can do is keep a mental note and keep my distance. This is because cutting them off completely is not in the question at the moment for loads of reasons. I also want to show that their nasty behaviour does not affect me because I will still be the same person I am. It has shown me that they truly do not care or respect me enough to be honest and that some of incidents mentioned last week were perhaps intentional. This whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth as I truly thought they were people I could count on and rely on and possibly go to for advice. Perhaps I was blinded by the word family and what it meant to me, perhaps they could pretend and act for a while before the mask was completely gone, perhaps they never really cared, perhaps I was delusional. Those who have been listening for a while know that it takes me ages to trust people and this had really upset me because they are not who I thought they were. Alongside the incidents from the last episode it has made me think that they do not want me at their event which I would be happy to not go. Worst thing is that I think that they only invited us to save face and show to the in-laws that they are amazing people??? So what more am I there for, than to feign smiles and compliments to boost their ego. If you only want to show that you care and we are so close when people are around then did you even care in the first place??? Make no mistake that I always knew that I was in second place to cousin a in a race that I was never competing in. I know that I was never the favourite niece or cousin and I had accepted that. But to then be intentionally cruel and horrible about it is hard to go through. For me this has really shaken my view of them and I'm adjusting to realising who they truly are. This has made me realise that not to have any expectations from them because they will let me down in the worst way possible. It has also shown that they do not respect me as they are not able to be honest and feel like they have to lie and manipulate me. This has been a very hard lesson to learn about how they truly are. Thank you for everyone listening for giving me joy. This has been a place for me to express my authentic views and feelings. So thank you for making me feel seen and allowing me to be honest. This has become a safe place for me to share views, ideas and experiences.

Hi guysssss I'm officially ✨ the last to know ✨ I guess we were saved by the bell this week ifykyk. This week's storytime is about how it hurts to be an afterthought. So I just wanted to say that whether my aunt meant it like that or not there should have been effective communication to everyone about the dress code and colour scheme. After recording this episode and having a further conversation it has been made clear that outfits for cousins engagement party/ rokha have to be approved by aunt aka she has to be there when buying and see it. While she may have good intentions and wants to make everything perfect. In my personal opinion if everything is controlled it can seem fake and curated. One way I like to express myself is through what I wear and this includes outfits and styles. So obviously someone overseeing my purchase may hinder my individual style. While in this circumstance it would be okay to wear whatever aunt chooses because I do not wish to cause any drama and it's only one day. It has really annoyed me that I was not told the colour scheme/ colour we would be wearing. And that I wasn't told even after they had ALL purchased their outfits. Instead I had to call on an unrelated issue for them to inform me. This has really pissed me off because if they were able to tell everyone else then they could have easily texted me or my mum. Obviously it is not a major issue but has really annoyed me because this is not the first time they have done this and probably will not be the last. Anyway everyone who listens to this podcast is welcome to come as they are and bring your authentic self no outfit approval needed lol. ✨song of the week: expresso by sabrina carpenter ✨ eeekkk im also really excited for her new album short n' sweet

often there is something in the things left unsaid … Hi guys! So this week I will be talking about how we can infer things via an individuals behaviour. Mainly focusing on body language (and it's general interpretations) and eye contact. Obviously these are general inferences we can deduce from interactions. But behaviours may differ between individuals and environmental factors which could alter and individuals behaviour. Then I talk about how being single is sometimes seen as a negative and why I genuinely like being single. ✨Song of the Week: I hate it here & The smallest man who ever lived (this bridge is EVERYTHING) ✨ so thank you guys for so much for being here it means so much to me

Hi guys! So this week I just wanted to talk about some reality checks. And discuss a couple of things and put things in perspective. Then I discuss love triangles and love corners. And whether people should fight over a person. ✨ Song of the week: The Bolter | Taylor Swift ✨ Note: I hope everyone listening has a lovely week. this week I have been feeling so mentally exhausted and not myself. hopefully I feel like myself soon thank you guys for listening x

Hi guysss! This week there is a storytime about someone (friend of friend) whose cousin ended up dating their ex. Also I talk about loyalty and how important it is in friendships, platonic and romantic relationships and I also discuss how important trust and respect are as loyalty is sometimes not enough. Then I share some vivid recurring dreams I keep having. ✨ Song of the week : Forever | Tegi Pannu ✨

Hi guys!!! So this week the episode starts with me talking about my personal experience with people playing mind games with me and how I am dealing with it. Then I try to answer the question ‘do you believe in soulmates?'. I use my personal experience, friends family, mainstream media and Sikhi to try and answer this as best as I can; at this point in time. And yes I do ramble on about soulmates and the universe for a while. Honestly I don't know if I could ever have a definitive answer if I believe in soulmates but I really enjoyed discussing different viewpoints. Then I review some Panjabi music that was released lately. This includes L.B.E by Nirvair Pannus, Manifest by Arjan Dhillon and Broken Silence by Tegi Pannu. Also reviewed songs by Shubh, Diljit Dosanjh and Ap Dhillon. ✨Song of the week: Too Sweet | Hozier ✨ Quote of the Week: “So what we think of as fate is just two neuroses knowing that they are a perfect match” | Sleepless in Seattle (Nora Ephron) knowing what I know and everything discussed in this weeks episode I think that I have hope that love exists even if it is not encompassed in an ‘soulmate'. just had an epiphany and maybe I'm the problem and that's why things in the past haven't worked maybe??? although hope about soulmates is dwindling, it is still kept alive by family and friends who inspire me everyday. also happy vaisakhi to everyone celebrating

Hi guys! This week is a girl talk episode. So I start with a storytime about how I was body shamed by a ‘desi uncle' (saying sales person/ seller doesn't feel right) whilst buying suits. Also there is a storytime from when I was younger involving a vile and creepy aunty who wanted to cause issues between me and a cousin. Then I discuss a situation involving my cousin, his fiancée and the in-laws. The discussion relates to whether cousins fiancée can go to her in-laws house before marriage; even just for a birthday party. Lastly I have a candid conversation about my personal experience with periods. ✨ Song of the Week: we can't be friends | Ariana Grande ✨ hope everyone listening has a lovely Easter weekend

Hiiiii guyssss! This week I talk about how I survived a toxic 15 person friendship group. I discuss some of the incidents that took place. And I share what I learnt and what I wish I had done differently. The whole situation was so exhausting both mentally and emotionally which is why I try to leave it in the past and move on. I am working on seeing people for who they are and trusting my intuition. I am still on my healing journey, but am immensely proud of my growth and healing so far. It took me along time to deal with this as it was an extremely untenable situation which caused alot of anxiety for me. But sharing this with you guys allows me to take ownership of the situation. And reminds me of how strong and resilient I am. Also I am aware that many other people have struggled with toxic friends or fake friends who never had their best interests at heart. It is a weird feeling to see that someone who you thought was your friend reveal who they truly are. It made me realise they betrayed me, our friendship and my trust. I use to question why the universe put me through this and maybe it was because I could share this and help someone out there feel less alone. After going through all this I realised that I would not like to be like any of them and that I was probably better off finding friends that I relate to. Even though not everyone in that group was toxic a lot of them were fake friends who allowed toxic people to mistreat people they called friends. I am grateful for the experience as it has made me the person I am today and led me to where I should be. I do not wish to interact with any of these people nor am I in contact with any of them. The reality is that many people come into your life and leave. There were certain people that I genuinely enjoyed being friends with and am grateful for the memories; even if things didn't turn out how I had hoped. If I was still involved in that friend group my life would have been very different. I am glad that I am now able to see the situation as an experience which made me a better person. I've always heard that ‘birds of a feather flock together' if anyone listening resonated with this episode or has been through or experienced something similar you have a good heart don't let other people change that

Hiiii guyssss!!! This week I have a more somber topic and I actually talk about what it is like to be a good person in a toxic world. The episode starts with me describing what qualities I think a good person embodies. Then I go on to describe my experience in a 6 year friendship where my best friend was extremely toxic. I reflect on some of the incidents that occurred. And discuss why the friendship ended. Additionally, I discuss how I have personally changed and what I would do differently. ✨ Song of the Week: Armed | Sukha ✨ BIG thank you to everyone listening! A bit of a different topic today! I want to preface this with the fact that during this time I was very naive and unsure of myself. I had very little confidence, extremely low self-esteem and was always anxious. This combined with ex-bffs behaviour led to a long period of time where I was very unhappy with myself and my life. For me it was a big change and transition walking away from this friendship. At points I did consider being friends with her again (people pleaser tendencies and we had mutual friends) but I stayed strong and did what was best for me at the time; which was walking away. Now reflecting on this for me it was the best thing I ever did for myself as I was forced to grow and actually think about who I was and who I wanted to be. Sometimes I think what would have happened if I had not walked away from this friendship and I genuinely think my life would be very different. A big part of this was me actually spending time alone and being fulfilled and happy by myself. This meant working on my codependency issues and fear of being alone. Sometimes spending time alone with your thoughts can be scary and daunting. But, for me now I find solace in spending time alone to recharge and reflect. I want everyone to know if you were ever in a toxic friendship you made the right decision to leave and cut that person off. You don't owe anyone an explanation. You are enough and an amazing person! wishing everyone the best on their healing journey

Hiii guys! This year Valentine's Day was a Valentine's to remember; and I'll remember it ‘all too well' (yk I love a taylor swift reference). So this week I start the episode with a very unhinged story time of how I went to the cinema on valentines and saw my cousin, her boyfriend (guy she's seeing?) and my ex all on the same day; because when it rains it pours for some reason. ✨ Song of the week: Stick Season | Noah Kahan ✨ Note: I want to make it clear that I don't have any issues with cousin A or my ex just wasn't expecting to see them both on valentines and was really caught off guard. This is the first time I've seen cousin A since the rokha last year and first time I've seen said ex since I can't even remember. I never see them out and about so was actually shocked that they were both there. Obviously the cinema is relatively dark and as I was minding my own business so it didn't matter much but just a weird and awkward experience for me. In my opinion out of mind and out of sight is best and ignorance is bliss; well in this case it is. So obviously it brought back a lot of memories some good and others bad but I can say I'm very proud of the person I am and how much I've grown since we parted ways. Now I know that this might be something I have to lookout for in the future; if and when it happens again. Also I've actually had some realisations that I share at the end of the episode. So thank you for listening and supporting it means so much to me. Luv you guys x

Hi guyyys so this week's episode is A LOT and very HECTIC so grab a cup of cha or drink of your choice and maybe a snack. So to start the episode I answer questions some of you had in relation to gossip guy. And I actually go on a rant about desi aunty who have no boundaries or shame about gossiping. Then I actually get into this week's topics in relation to valentines. First valentines topic is actually discussing if taken guys are more attractive I share my thoughts and some my friend said when we were discussing it. Second Valentines topic is valentines woes and how vday can actually be make or break for relationships and a defining moment based on how the person is treated. Happy Galentines to everyone listening ♥️ hope everyone has a lovely week.

Hi guyyys! This week I start off by telling you about my accident earlier this week. Then I talk about how my friendship with gossip guy has changed since he is now seeing someone. Also I will be ranting about things that annoy me at Panjabi parties recently! ✨ Song of the Week: It's not my fault | Reneè Rapp and Megan Thee Stallion ✨ Follow me on TikTok to see what I get up to: @simmm_k or use the link: https://www.tiktok.com/@simmm_k?_t=8j8sOLquotd&_r=1 hope everyone has a lovely week ♥️

Hi guysss!!! So you know my favourite topic to talk about is relationships. This week I talk about how social media affect's our perception and views about love. In the episode I focus on how social media trends and aesthetics affect our relationships. Also I now have TikTok so my username is @simmm_k so follow me to see what I get up to! ✨Song of the Week: Fools in Love | Inara George ✨ Reminder: please don't compare yourself to other people on social media so much of it is fake and probably not how their reality is. The fact is that we don't know the context that surrounds the 10 second story or post. Remember to focus on what matters and is valuable to you. So many people focus on the style and aesthetics of how their relationship looks on social media. But ask yourself this do you unconditionally love this person? At their core do you and this person share the same values? Is this relationship superficial or is there actually any substance? What would you describe love as? Everybody deserves to be genuinely loved ♥️ Thank you guys for listening and supporting hope everyone has a lovley week ♥️ x TikTok: @simmm_k or use the link: https://www.tiktok.com/@simmm_k?_t=8j8sOLquotd&_r=1

Hiiiii guyssss! So it's is officially 2024 and I hope everyone has had a nice start to the new year! A BIG thank you to ALL MY listeners for being supportive throughout 2023! So for the first episode of the year I decided to talk about some of my fashion pet peeves. Also some advice for everyone during January sales; please don't feel pressured to buy anything. But to those of you who wish to change up your wardrobe I find it helpful to know that I'm buying an item because I genuinely like it and wanna wear it rather than ‘because everyone else is wearing it and it's trendy'. I WANT to encourage everyone to be authentically themselves! One way we express ourselves is through clothes and fashion so I hope everyone has the courage to embrace their true selves and wear something they feel confident and comfortable in! ✨ Song of the week: I won't back down by Benjamin Francis Leftwich ✨ Hope everyone has a lovely week

Hiiii guyssss! So this is the last episode of 2023 and I will be back on Jan 5th! Defo listen to the beginning of the episode it does somewhat have a point lol! This week I have ranked my top 25 Panjabi songs of 2023 that I personally have enjoyed listening to. Also I discuss a few of the things that 2023 has taught me and reflect on events throughout the year. Additionally, I have a little rant about clothes and shopping. Also stick around to the end of the episode because I share my take on the banning of lenghas at the Gurdwara. ✨ Song of the week: All I Want For Christmas Is You | Mariah Carey ✨

Hi guyssss!!! So this week I decided to do an updated gift guide for the festive season. The gift guide has ideas that you can cater to any gender, age group and budget. And then I give gift ideas for Secret Santa for those with a specific budget. Also I share some of my fav Christmas movies that I'll be watching this holiday season. ✨

Hi guys!!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating! So inspired by Thanksgiving I thought it would be nice to slow down and think about what we are thankful and grateful for in our lives. This week I talk about some of the key things and people I am thankful for in 2023 (if I mentioned all the things we would be here a while). This year has been different for me and I feel like I have grown and learnt a lot so I am thankful that you guys show up every week and have joined me in this journey. Also I review Sukhas UNDISPUTED EP. ✨Song of the Week: 8 ASLE | Sukha, Chani Nattan, Prodgk, Gurlez Akhtar ✨ Hope everyone listening has a lovely week you deserve it ♥️ luv u guys xx

Hi guys!!!! So I had a somewhat unpleasant week and felt like doing an ep! This week's episode is super chatty and unhinged! As I talk about my Roman Empire and why I might be a commitment phobe. There will still be an ep next Friday but this one's just for fun cos I felt like it! ✨Song of the Week| Watch Out by Sidhu Moose Wala and Sikander Kahlon ✨ Really appreciate everyone who supports me and listens to the episodes honestly it makes my day so thank you so much for being here! luv u guys x ♥️

Hiiii guys! This week I talk about some of the things I discussed about relationships with my bhua and fufad (who came round at the weekend) and how their views differ from my own. The topics include not putting myself out there, family reputation, dating someone outside the Punjabi community, caste and fear of dying alone! ✨ Song of the week: Attraction | Sukha ✨ Note: I understand that their views reflect thoughts people in the Panjabi community have and the environment that they have been brought up in. And I'm not necessarily saying their views are wrong; but that I personally don't resonate with them. Funnily for the surprise party (my stupidity is mentioned in previous episodes) when I told my Dad that we're were going to meet a guys parents (for casual rishta talks lol) he did not ask about the guy or the family. Maybe my upbringing and resolve has been different than my cousins which is why I cannot not fully agree with their views. While I still respect them to some extent the strained nature of these relationships means that I find it difficult to accept that they fully understand me as a person and individual. As in their perspective I come across as an ‘uncultured' and ‘whitewashed' individual; which I am not. Like I have previously stated it has taken a lot for me to open up and be vulnerable. But in instances such as these involving family who have not been present for much of my life means that it is harder for us to understand each other and be on the same wavelength. One thing I had to learn was not to care what other people think. This is because most of the time people are too busy dealing with their own stuff to even bother with what you're doing. So what's the point in trying to make everyone happy (which simply is not possible) while being extremely miserable yourself. At this point I really don't care what anyone thinks of me because for the FIRST time I am actually putting myself first. And no not in a selfish way but in a way that I DESERVE to not feel guilty about not caring about how people perceive me and my reputatio. It is obvious that being under pressure to live up to unattainable standards and high expectations has made me re-think what is personally important to ME. And that does not include living up to other peoples expectations and how they want me to live MY life. And the end of the day like everyone else I'm trying my best! ty to everyone that made it this far I don't know why this bothered me as much as it did! Probs because I like to do my own thing and be authentic! I really appreciate everyone being supportive and understanding it acc means a lot to me that someone understands where I'm coming from. Because isn't what everyone wants is to be loved, understood and to be able to be themselves without being judged. Love u guys x ♥️

Hi guys! So basically this week I found out that my Great-Aunt sadly passed away; hence why I'm a bit of a mess in at the start. This was truly shocking for me and my family as it was completely unexpected.

Hi guyssss! So this week I start off by elaborating on what I described as ‘convenient relationships' in the previous episode. Then I talk about some of the instances where misogyny is prevalent in Punjabi families. And I discuss my personal experience in some of these situations. Then I also share my opinion of Hijack (Apple tv show - no spoilers). ✨ Song of the Week: Case | Diljit Dosanjh ✨ Soooo …. even though I said that this was gonna be under an hour I still ended up talking as usual lol

Hi guysss it's girl and guy chat timeeee! This weeks episode is inspired by the Brown Guys at my cousins Rokha who thought that the ideal age to be married by is 30. I discuss reasons why I disagree with this view of being married by 30. And how it is not necessary and viable in certain circumstances. I also talk about the pressures that people in the Punjabi community face to get married at what is deemed an ‘appropriate age' by society. And reasons why people may settle in relationships. Also I discuss reasons why I would openly date, even though in the past I've been against it. ✨ Song of the Week: Softly by Karan Aujla & What if I love you by Gatlin ✨

Heyyy guys so this week we have a really long episode which kinda meanders off topic at points! So the episode starts off with a 30 min update about the rokha situation and then I start talking about my experience with boundaries in a Punjabi Family. I also talk about people's inappropriate behaviour at functions and at the Gurdwara. Then I discussed what I thought about Vanilla Sky (2001) which was recommended to me by a friend! ✨Song of the week: White Brown Black | Avvy Sra & Karan Aujla ✨ luv you guys enjoy your Fridayyyyy!

So this week I candidly talk about the heartbreaking end of my situationship. And how I'm planning to move on from the whole situation. This is such a hard and uncertain topic because you really cannot control you feelings or the outcome of a situation. So I really appreciate you guys being patient and supportive while I go through a difficult time. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time overcoming I'm glad you guys have given me a safe space where I can share my feelings and be my true self so thank you for that.
