  • Permission to Dance Like Nobody's Watching
    Sep 10 2026

    When was the last time you completely let loose and danced like nobody was watching? In this episode of ROOH, Monica and I are breaking down the cultural rules, the fear of judgment, and all those silly self-imposed limits that keep us from stepping into our full joy. We’re sharing our own journeys of unlearning the noise, giving ourselves permission to own the floor, and dancing straight to our heart’s content—and we’re taking you right along with us!

  • Are You a Bad Parent? (Or Just Human?)
    Aug 20 2026

    If you’ve ever laid awake at 2 AM wondering if you’re failing as a parent, you’re not alone. In this episode of ROOH, Monica and I get honest about parental guilt, middle-of-the-night anxiety, and the pressure to get everything right.

    Together, we break down why trying to shield our kids from every mistake backfires, how to model real accountability, and why letting children experience discomfort is actually the secret to building resilience. So grab a cup of chai and get a dose of ROOH!

  • Shared Sorrow is Half a Sorrow: Overcoming Silence & Health Stigmas in South Asian Communities
    Aug 13 2026

    Ever notice how we're quick to broadcast our wins, but the second a health scare hits, everyone goes silent? In this episode of ROOH, Monica breaks down her recent surgery, her husband's health scare, and why the "we don't talk about that" culture in South Asian communities is doing us zero favors. From getting tangled in medical bureaucracy to learning why suffering in secret is wildly overrated, this conversation is an honest, warm nudge to share the hard stuff—because as the saying goes, shared joy is double joy, and shared sorrow is half a sorrow!
