You Want to Be a Soccer Writer? Huh?

While the outside world might look at a Desi woman and go, "You want to be a soccer writer? Huh?", Pardeep Cattry’s reality was totally different. Turns out, she had full support from her family and friends from day one. The real challenge wasn't her inner circle—it was breaking into a sports media industry where literally no one looked like her. In this episode, Pardeep talks about how she resisted the urge to copy everyone else, stayed true to herself, and carved out her own space in a world that wasn't exactly built for her. So to anyone still asking "Huh?"... get ready, because Desi women are taking up space!

How Dare You Change?

People get so uncomfortable when you start evolving—like, how dare you, right? In this episode, Monica and I talk about the messy reality of growth, why society tells us to stay the same, and why our loved ones sometimes resist our changes. We share some of our own stories and a bit of science to show how embracing the shift actually leads to way better relationships and self-awareness. If you're currently in your glow-up era, this one's for you. Grab a cup of chai and let's get into it!

Just Between Us: Coffee & Chaos

Grab a cup of coffee or Chai and join us for a super casual chat. Think of it as your weekly date with your two best friends -- it's light, relatable, and the exact reminder you need that you are never alone in this beautiful mess of everyday life. Let's catch up!

Happily Divorced!

This week, Gagan joins us for a conversation that we desperately need to have more openly: divorce. She shares her own journey, the cultural pressure she dealt with, and what it actually takes to walk away when a marriage just isn't working. We look at why our culture treats divorce as a failure, and how it can actually be the first step toward healing and finding yourself again. If you've ever felt stuck or worried about what people will think, this episode is for you!

From Victim to an Inspiration: The Power of Neharika's Kahani

Quick Reminder: We will be discussing childhood sexual abuse and maternal neglect. Please take care of yourself while listening. Last week, we heard about the secret. This week, we talk about the healing. Neharika opens up about what life actually looks like after you finally speak your truth. It hasn’t been an easy road, but she’s living proof that you don’t have to be defined by what happened to you. She shares how she moved from feeling like a victim to becoming an inspiration for others. Like she says at the end of this episode—just as a phoenix rises from the ashes, you can rise above the people who tried to keep you down. This is the conclusion of Neharika’s kahani, and a reminder that we all have the power to start over.

A Routine Exam, A Buried Secret -- Neharika Gambhir Story

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse, maternal neglect, and eating disorders. Please listen with care and put your well-being first. Sometimes, the things we carry are so heavy that our minds find a way to tuck them away just so we can keep going. This week on ROOH, we’re sitting down with the incredible Neharika Gambhir. On the surface, Neharika’s life was taking flight—literally—as she pursued her dreams in the world of aviation. But a routine doctor’s visit in the U.S. became the moment everything shifted. It uncovered a past she hadn't yet fully processed. In this episode, Neharika opens up about the "cycles of silence" she grew up with, being raised in a home where the person meant to protect her didn’t, and the stepfather who was a monster in plain sight. This isn't just a story about what happened; it’s a story about the strength it takes to finally look back, so you can truly move forward. Neharika’s journey from a house of secrets to the stars is a reminder that healing is possible, even when the truth is hard to face.

Temporada 3

Bestie...Soul-Sister...Free Therapist?

Ever wonder why we call them soul-sisters? It’s because they meet us where the world doesn't—in that deep, judgment-free zone. A truly meaningful conversation doesn’t just lift your mood; it physically releases the stress and tension we carry inside. This week, we’re exploring why your best friend isn't just a brunch partner—she’s actually your first free therapist. Tune in as we talk about the simple, quiet healing that happens when you’re truly seen and heard. It’s time to stop holding it all in and start letting your sisters in!

Therapy? What's That?

We’ve all heard the jokes—or the heavy silence—around therapy in our community, so I brought Riya on to actually talk about it. She’s finishing her masters in marriage counseling, and we got into the real reasons why we get stuck in the same old patterns with our partners. We’re breaking down everything from childhood attachment styles to the fact that therapy isn't just a "break glass in case of emergency" tool. Our marriages deserve that intentional space even when things aren't "broken." We’re figuring out how to stop the cycle and finally prioritize the partnership, one conversation at a time.

Our Kahani: The Messy Truth Behind Our First Year

It’s been a whole year since we started this, and honestly? It hasn’t always been pretty. This week, we’re sharing what actually goes on when the mics are off—from the technical headaches to the reality of trying to build a community while juggling everything else. It’s about finally taking the driver’s seat, owning the mess, and writing your own Kahani. After all, we get one life...do we want to spend it on the passenger seat?

Write Your Kahani

"Ek pyar ka nagma hai, maujon ki ravaani hai... Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahi, teri meri kahani hai." This week is all about our take on what we learned from Alka and Roop. One thing is for sure...life is nothing but a story so let's write a beautiful one! What does your next chapter look like?
