The Sisterhood of MummyImperfect Podcast

S2, Ep 4: Post Pregnancy Bodies

This week we're talking post-pregnancy bodies, why we love them and loathe them.

From hair falling out to shrinking boobs we cover all of it with trademark honesty.

I speak to health and wellbeing advisor Liz about when and how to get back into shape after having a baby, plus Auntie-ji gives her take on it.

 

S2, Ep 3: Birth Plans - Expectation Vs Reality

This week we talk about our expectations of childbirth and what really happens! I share my birth stories and speak to new mum Rumana about her delivery.

We hear what happens when things don't go to plan and babies are born prematurely, and I reveal all the gory details about labour that no one tells you about but really should! 

Plus news stories from the week.

S2, Ep 2: The weird and wonderful world of pregnancy

In this episode, I explore the weird and wonderful world of pregnancy.

Pregnancy rarely goes how you expect it to. From all-day morning sickness to vaginal varicose veins, mums-to-be have a lot to contend with. I speak to someone who experienced extreme sickness for the whole time she was pregnant, plus sisters from the (mother)hood share their experiences.

There's also a special appearance from my Auntie-ji who busts some desi pregnancy myths...including whether or not eating lots of ghee makes your baby slip out during labour!

 

S2, Ep 1: The right time to have a baby

To kick of series 2 of The Sisterhood of Mummyimperfect I discuss the right time to have a baby...is there such a thing? 

Should women build a career for themselves before starting a family, or is it best to start having kids in your early twenties? Hear about my experience and what other mums have to say.

Plus an impromptu guest appearance from my Auntie-ji!

Ep 18: Moving "Back Home"

For decades it's been the norm to hear people in countries like India and Ghana talk about wanting to move the UK and live the dream! I am the child of people who actually lived that dream! But what about those who choose to move "back home" after being born and brought up in Britain?....yes these people do exist!

In this special episode of The Sisterhood of MummyImperfect I get together with my sister Indira and my sister in law Akosua, both of whom have made the move back to the "motherland". 

We discuss why they chose to make the move? what challenges they faced, and if they'll ever truly fit in there. Plus we talk about whether Instagram is bad for us, and why talking to strangers is good for us.

 

 

Ep 17: Body Image, Reality TV and Fake Meat

In this episode I'm joined by the lovely sisters Sita and Soniya. We discuss body image and mental health and how they impact eachother. We talk reality TV and what kind of people go on these shows. And we debate whether or not there is any point being a vegetarian and eating "fake meat', and whether we could actually go meat-free. 

Plus we share our life lessons for the week! 

Ep 16: Cosmetic procedures, sexiness and covering up and the best age for creativity

Joining me this week to talk about this week's eyebrow-raising stories are the gorgeous gal-dem Raj and Pilar.

We discuss the first Muslim model to appear in Sports Illustrated and whether you can be sexy without showing any skin. We talk about how to draw the line between having cosmetic surgery and having a mental illness. And we share our opinions on the best age for creativity and our experiences of online shopping.

Real talk as always! 

 

 

Ep 15: Role Models, Social Media, and Does Race Matter When it Comes to Friendship?

This week I’m joined by lovely ladies Rummy and Amrit. We discuss role models, what it means to be one, and who we have looked up to. We also talk about whether race matters when it comes to making friends, and how we use social media. 
 
Real talk with fabulous females as always!

Ep 14: Smacking Kids, Rejecting A Man's Advances, and Cardi B

This week I'm back with some Shut the Front Door stories from the week: how smacking children is to be banned in Wales, Jameela Jamil said she was punched in the face by a man because she rejected his advances, and reaction to Cardi B admitting that she drugged and robbed men in her stripper days.

Joining me to discuss and dissect these stories are the lovely Nisha and Mercy.

Ep 13: International Women's Day Special

A very special episode of The Sisterhood of MummyImperfect recorded on International Women's Day.

An hour packed with fierce feminine energy and featuring honest opinions from women of different backgrounds, ages, and walks of life. I'm joined by my panel Mercy and Nisha and we find the answers to questions like "is it still a man's world?" and "can women have it all?".

Plus we discuss sisterhood and the women that most inspire us.
