Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Reema Mahajan, founder of Indian Women in Dubai (IWD) — one of the UAE's most powerful purpose-driven and the biggest communities.As two Indian women living in Dubai, we had a deeply resonant conversation about cultural burdens, invisible rules, and the barriers that have shaped our identities — and how women like us are now breaking them to create freedom, visibility, and impact. In this powerful conversation, we dive into:How Reema transformed a simple online meet-up into a thriving community of 150,000+ women.The cultural challenges Indian women face — and what it takes to break free.Her transition from corporate boardrooms to leading a community movement.The role of identity, self-worth, and courage in creating lasting impact.This is not just about building a community. It's about rewriting what it means to be an Indian woman — in Dubai and beyond.

A newlywed couple in India thought they were opening a wedding gift. Instead, the box exploded—killing a husband, fatally injuring an elderly relative, and leaving a young bride scarred for life. Investigators at first had nothing—no witnesses, no fingerprints, no CCTV. Then, months later, a mysterious letter arrived that cracked the case wide open.Today, we tell you about India's first parcel bomb case—the story of Soumya and Reema, a package that carried death instead of joy, and the shocking motive that led a respected college lecturer, Punjilal Meher, to plan one of the most calculated acts of revenge the country has ever seen.**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about? Let me know with an email or a voice message: https://murderandlove.com/contactFind the sources used in this episode and learn more about how to support Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide and gain access to even more cases, including bonus episodes, ad-free and intro-free cases, case files and more at: https://murderandlove.comMusic:℗ lesfreemusicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-and-murder-heartbreak-to-homicide--4348896/support.

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome back Reema Rachel Khithani, a name you may already recognize from a previous episode. After our first virtual conversation, I had no idea how deeply we would connect, and I'm so excited to continue this powerful exchange. In this episode, we explore themes of privilege, trauma, and interconnectedness, and dive into the unique approach of the Hira Collective. We'll emphasize the importance of compassion and understanding in conversations about identity and experience.   Through personal stories and powerful insights, Reema and I reflect on the significance of recognizing our shared humanity while navigating the complexities of privilege and trauma. We hope to inspire our communities to foster curiosity and connection rather than judgment and separation.   Reema is the founder and visionary behind The Hira Collective—a Canadian wellness platform that embodies integrity, care, and community. With a rich background in education, equity, and ancestral healing, Reema created Hira to disrupt extractive business models and restore feminine wisdom to the business world.   In this episode, Reema and I dive into:    - Creating a safe and supportive space to share spiritual experiences  - Respecting and acknowledging the ancestral origins of spiritual practices  - Judgment vs curiosity   - Tapping into the power of collective energy and seeing beyond superficial layers  - Thriving in interconnectedness versus perishing in isolation   This conversation is rich with insight and heart-centered wisdom about embracing our shared humanity and finding power in our collective journeys.
