✨ What does it truly mean to live an authentic life, especially when it goes against everything you've been taught? ✨


In this powerful episode, we hear Sangeeta Pillai, the fearless voice behind the award-winning Masala Podcast and the author of the new memoir, Bad Daughter. Sangeeta shares her incredible journey of healing from a traumatic childhood in Mumbai to becoming a leading activist for South Asian women. She opens up about the trauma that fuelled her mission and explains why she's proud to be a "bad daughter" in a world that demands conformity.


We explore themes of her memoir, discussing the importance of breaking taboos, turning pain into purpose, and the art of unlearning what it means to be a "good girl." Sangeeta also offers practical, actionable tips for anyone looking to heal and live life on their own terms and build their own "bad daughter" muscle.


This is a must-listen for anyone ready to chase their own dreams and own their story, unapologetically.
