Listen "Ghee, Gains & Guilt: Balancing Health in a Desi Household"
Episode Synopsis
From overflowing plates of biryani to aunties insisting “beta, one more roti won’t hurt,” navigating health in a Desi household is… complicated. In this episode, we get real (and a little roast-y) about growing up surrounded by food, family expectations, and the cultural guilt that comes with saying “no” to seconds.We share childhood food memories, the struggles of trying to “eat clean” when the house smells like ghee, and the endless commentary from relatives about our bodies. But it’s not all struggle, we also talk about finding balance, celebrating Desi food without shame, and redefining what health means for us.This one’s for anyone who’s ever been told “healthy” is just another word for “chubby." Grab a snack (yes, even a laddoo) and tune in for laughs, honesty, and maybe a little motivation to enjoy your parathas guilt-free.
