In this eye-opening episode of Brown Women Health, anchor Ameek explores a groundbreaking study that links birth weight to the risk of developing diabetes later in life.

S3 Ep6 Episode Shownotes:“Make a list of the good versus the bad. [You] will realize that the mind tends to gravitate towards the bad, but the list of good is always longer.” —Varuni SinhaThe H-4 visa— the bane of many immigrant spouses' existence. Imagine being highly skilled, educated, and eager to work, only to be trapped in a legal limbo, unable to contribute your talents. The H-4 visa stripped Varuni Sinha of her independence and sense of self, plunging her into a deep depression. She went from being a vibrant, driven woman to one who struggled to even leave her apartment. Now, she's using her powerful storytelling abilities to share her own journey as an immigrant spouse. Prepare to be inspired, uplifted, and maybe even shed a tear or two in this week's heartfelt conversation. Varuni's story of resilience, self-discovery, and finding her voice in the face of adversity is a must-listen for anyone seeking a dose of empowerment.Connect with Heather: WebsiteFacebook InstagramLinkedInEpisode Highlights:01:46 Giving Writing a Second Shot08:52 Immigrant Challenges 20:43 In The Darkest Moments and Out26:21 Where Our Pain Comes From35:07 If You Don't Write Your Story Now...41:54 Be Part of the Change47:31 Beyond Writing 50:22 What is Love?Support the show

With the election upon us here in the US, these next few weeks on TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING , we're sharing a series of Lotus for POTUS conversations, hearing insights from leading edge voices to help inform and get out the vote!  A few months ago, I created a meme with a photo of Vice President Harris that went “In Sanskrit, Kamala means Lotus… In America, Kamala means POTUS” and for me and many others, that sentiment sums up the imperative choice we're making at the highest level, being thoughtful about our past, present, and future.  With liberty and justice for all - it's the last part of our national pledge and being an empowered voter in an American democracy means finding this implemented through our elected leaders.  So it was great to catch up with Anurima Bhargava, who has been a leader in promoting dignity and justice both at home and abroad,  and advancing civil rights for many stakeholders. Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, she's an experienced attorney who has worked to litigate cases on diversity and segregation with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, led civil rights enforcement in schools and educational institutions at the US Department of Justice, and served as Chair and Commissioner of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, which documents and makes recommendations on religious persecution and violence abroad. Anurima's incredible commitment to advancing human dignity through justice shines also as a seasoned storyteller, as she's been a producer and advisor to numerous documentary films and projects.  Along with being the founder and president of Anthem of Us, a strategic advisory and consulting firm for strengthening equity, belonging, and trust in workplaces, schools, and communities, Anurima has long been active as an advisor and organizer for numerous political campaigns, marshaling resources and information for action, especially noted these past few months in co-organizing the impressive and ongoing South Asian Women for Harris movement.  We chatted recently about all the compelling highlights that are drawing voters to Kamala Harris, but I first wanted to know if similar to herself in her own work, whether it is safe to say that Kamala Harris is a “Justice Ninja” ? Remember, conversation is the antidote to apathy. Now this is all in the shownotes, but I'll share here too… Go to Iwillvote.com for information about resources, to southasiansforharris2024.org, and to kamalaharris.com to learn about the Harris-Walz campaign. Please get involved, get engaged, and get informed about all your local issues and candidates up and down the ballot. Till next time, I'm Abhay Dandekar.

What is your personal worth? From an internal perspective, it's about having confidence in your sense of self and your values. But let's expand on that. Your worth can also be viewed in the connections you have made in your personal or professional communities, be it the kids' soccer parent who knows a job you'd be great for, or the ex-coworker whose passion project is your passion, too.

1 in 5 South Asian women experience PCOS, a reproductive disorder of the ovaries that can cause a number of symptoms - so many, that diagnosis can often be challenging or confused with other comorbid diseases. South Asian women also see a higher incidence of PCOS than other ethnicities. Anita Mirchandani, MS, RD, and CDN, joins TDS on the Season 8 premiere to discuss a healthy diet as part of PCOS management, how weight is not a metric to determine health, and swaps to make with South Asian foods to increase nutritional value without losing the cultural attachment to them.

Would we really be a desi podcast if we weren't on Desi Standard Time? In honor of breast cancer awareness month, we spoke with Dr. Beenish Bhaidani, an OBGYN based in the United States, about breast cancer in South Asian women. 1 in 8 women get breast cancer in their lifetime, and every two minutes someone new is diagnosed. Breast cancer is super important to be aware of, yet the subject can be a taboo in our community. Because of this, South Asian women tend to get diagnosed at later stages than other ethnic groups.

The stigma of divorce in South Asian communities is real. Divorce is viewed as a failure for women. In this episode, we're joined by Neha Gill form Apna Ghar (www.apnaghar.org/) and Kavita Mehra from Sakhi for South Asian Women (www.sakhi.org/) to discuss the impact of divorce, its stigma within the South Asian community and community's role in destigmatizing divorce.

This time last week we were looking forward to the big match: The Lionesses at the European Championship Final at Wembley. We hoped, but we just couldn't predict what would happen, but what a great moment when they won against Germany! But don't let the success of women's football overshadow the sport that's been with us all along: netball. At the Commonwealth Games, the English team - known as the Roses - are in the semi-final tomorrow, up against Australia. If they win, they'll be in the final on Sunday. And don't forget: the Roses WON at the Commonwealth Games last time around, four years ago. We speak to ex-Roses captain, Ama Agbeze. In the last normal academic year before the pandemic, 7,894 children were permanently excluded from English state schools. However, the data shows that certain groups of children are more likely to be excluded than others. Boys are three times more likely than girls, children on free school meals are four times more likely than other children, and Gypsy Roma, Travellers of Irish heritage, and black Caribbean children are all significantly more likely to face school exclusion than white British children. To explore why these disparities exist, Anita is joined by Dr Amelia Roberts, deputy director of UCL's Centre for Inclusive Education; Jason Arthur, CEO of Mission 44, a charitable foundation which aims to support disadvantaged young people; and Lisa Smith, chair of the Advisory Council for the Education of Romany and Other Travellers. When we think about the World War II war effort, Indian women in saris are not the first people that come to mind. Social historian Kiran Sahota has been researching the role of Indian women in the war, and has curated her research into a documentary and exhibition, which is currently on tour in the UK. There's been anger from counsellors and psychotherapists about new guidelines around access to rape victims therapy notes. The changes introduced by the CPS were first reported exclusively by Woman's Hour back in May when solicitors raised concerns. Now five leading bodies representing psychiatrists, psychologists and counsellors have raised their own concerns. Newsnight reporter Anna Collinson has been looking into the story. We also hear from Dame Vera Baird, the Victims Commissioner for England and Wales. According to the art market, men are 10 times better at painting than women, with men's art valued ten times more than women's. Now, a new Radio 4 documentary, 'Revaluating Art' explores why. Its creator, Mary-Ann Sieghart explains.

Welcome back for another super spicy episode of The Brave Table. Today's guest is Amber Valdez, a former TV host and NFL cheerleader turned Spiritual Awakening Mentor & 5D Business Coach to lightworkers and entrepreneurs.    We kick off the episode with a question I know all of you ladies have asked yourself at some point in your life: how do you navigate relationships as an ambitious woman? When you're standing in your divine feminine power, it can sometimes be challenging to find a partner who can rise to the occasion and meet you at your level, without trying to ride your coattails or bring you down.   Amber has been through it all when it comes to relationship experiences and the valuable lessons they can offer, even when they're painful. She grew up in a volatile home environment with an abusive mother and a father who was an addict, which set the precedent for how she would navigate relationships in her adult life. An empath with an innate longing to heal others, she found herself dating narcissists and getting stuck in abusive relationships that she couldn't seem to escape.    That was until she drew upon her incredible resilience and underwent a deep healing journey—using modalities like purging, fasting, reiki, energy healing, energetic cord cutting ceremonies, Akashic record readings, tapping, body talk, trauma therapy (you name it)—all of which led her to the incredible partner she has today.    There are a few things I hope you can take away from today's conversation, depending on the season you're in. If you are struggling in your relationship or if hearing what it's like to date a narcissist is signaling alarm bells in your head, I hope Amber's story can offer you the strength you need to evaluate if it's what you truly desire, and to choose yourself instead.    And if you're wanting to call in your king or queen, know that they ARE out there ready for you, but ultimately, it all starts with doing your inner work. Only then will you find someone who has done theirs, too, and is a match for the powerhouse that you are.  Some of the juicy nuggets you'll get out of this episode…   - What is Narcissistic Personality Disorder and how to identify it. - Softening into your feminine energy. - Establishing your self-worth and getting your needs met in relationships. - How to heal your childhood wounds.  - Breaking free of the defense mechanisms you create to protect yourself when you grow up in a toxic household. - Coping with domestic violence and abusive relationships, how to seek support, and knowing you're not alone. - Taking radical responsibility for your self-development and personal growth. - Going through a dark night of the soul and healing modalities that can help. - How to manifest your ideal partner.
