About this listen

 Second Sunrises presented by Jos Alukkas is an intimate storytelling podcast that celebrates women who chose to rewrite their lives through remarriage, rediscovered love, or a renewed sense of self. It's about courage, joy, and the beauty of beginning again. In India, conversations around remarriage, especially for women, are still whispered. Second Sunrises brings them into the light. This is not a show about loss or compromise. It's about reclaiming happiness. About women who decided their story wasn't over, it was just beginning a new chapter. Through cinematic conversations, the series explores the emotional turning points, the quiet rebellions, the internal shifts, and the moments when these women realized: I deserve this. Hosted by Suhasini Maniratnam, the podcast features conversations with Mamta Mohandas, Pooja Bedi, Sudha Menon, Ramya Subramanian, Jwala Gutta, Pavitra Lokesh, and Vijaykrishna Naresh.
