  • Speaking my truth

    Thank you Raj for asking me to share my journey. Any new chapter is scary and appreciated all your kind words as some parts of my life are private. Glad we have a platform to speak about depression and losing loved ones but also bouncing back in different directions than we expected. Keep doing your amazing work my love ❤️

  • Funny and totally relatable

    It’s great to be able to listen to a conversation where honestly and frankness is at the centre. Yes it’s funny but all the topics are so true and yes these awkward topics and questions are encountered by us women almost everyday!! It’s great to have someone actually addressing this issue and talking about it in a frank and funny way.
