The Sisterhood of MummyImperfect Podcast

S2, Ep 134: Queens and Legacies

As three South Asian women born and brought up in the UK, Rummy, Kirat and I, discuss our feelings after the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II.

We talk about whether brown people should be mourning the Queen, what the Queen represented to us and the women in our lives that we look up to and revere. Everyday Queens and their legacies.

S2, Ep 133: Reps, Sweat And Tears

From an overweight kid who was always picked last for teams in P.E., to a 43 year old mum of three who works out almost every day, I've learned a lot on my fitness journey, and it's a journey that I'm still on.

From being consistent, knowing when to change things up, to protecting your energy - there are certain life lessons that I've learnt from working out. Lessons that can be applied to career goals, relationships and friendships, lessons that have saved me and stopped me from giving up. Lessons so valuable that I want to shout them from the roof tops....or from this podcast!

Here are ten life lessons that reps, sweat and tears taught me.

S2, Ep 132: New Threads

My guest this episode is Roma Dhameja, the founder of the More Me fashion brand, a teacher and a published author. 

In this episode Roma and I talk threads....yes, clothes (beautiful and unique clothes at that!), but also the threads that tie us to our past and hold onto us just enough to let us spread our wings and fly.

Roma talks about how she went form sewing labels in her parents factory to stepping away from becoming a headteacher, and creating a clothing brand that fuses together western and South Asian style. 

What are the threads that tie your story together? Is there a passion or a project you want to explore? A story that you want to tell? Roma shares her motivational tips and also puts the call out for your stories! Have a listen, share this episode and get in touch mummyimperfect@gmail.com

S2, Ep 131: Women Should....

The world and its wife seems to have an opinion on what women should and should not be doing.

In this episode I take a deep dive into the list of the most annoying "women should/should not" phrases chosen by you the listeners.

"Women should cover up if they want to avoid trouble", "women should not be drinking and smoking", "women should know how to take care of their husband and family"....and the list goes on. 

Why are these views so problematic? and is there any truth to them?

S2, Ep 130: Trophy Wives, Skimpy Clothes, and ’Darlings’

It's another TPP episode! The Power Panel have assembled to go through female focused news and entertainment stories from the past couple of weeks.

In this episode we discuss:

Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi - why is it that some people think she's a gold digger?...and the other half think he's after a trophy wife?!

Ranveer Singh and those photos!

Becky Hill and the backlash over her Euro 2022 outfit - Does it devalue your talent (or your personality) if you step out in skimpy clothes?

'Darlings' - we review the latest Alia Bhatt movie release on Netflix. Trigger Warning! - we do go into descriptions of domestic abuse.
