The Mommy Mix Tape

Episode 18 - The Mommy Mix Tape With Dr. Ritu Shree

Parenting today often feels crowded with rules, labels, and absolutes, but there is no one-size-fits-all childhood—and there never was. In this episode of The Mommy Mixtape, we’re joined by Dr. Ritu Shree to talk about play as a way of being, surrendering to the process, and resisting rigid narratives around parenting and development. We explore what a good enough childhood really means, how movement and stillness can coexist, and why chaos is often part of growth. We also remind ourselves that parents are neuroplastic too—that maybe you already know enough, and learning to trust your innate strengths can make life feel a little easier. This conversation invites us to look at our children with wonder, not worry and perhaps, to do the same for ourselves. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Useful Resources: 1.

Episode 17 - The Mommy Mix Tape With Aranyani Bhargav

Becoming a mother changes you in ways that are both subtle and profound. Some parts of who you are shift, while others remain your strongest anchor. For a dancer— whose art is rooted in the experience of living through the body—choosing to have a child is one of the most powerful decisions she can make. Dancers speak of a heightened awareness of their body, of a deeper connection than most to movement and presence. During pregnancy, this awareness and the deeper connection come alive.  In today’s episode, we’re joined by Aranyani Bhargav—dancer, educator, and activist—who shares how motherhood has reshaped her practice, redefined her art, and expanded her perspective on teaching, activism, and what it truly means to inhabit the body.   Useful Resources: 1.

Episode 16 - The Mommy Mix Tape With Kavita Nehemiah

Motherhood often begins with hope—with dreams, plans, and the growing anticipation of new life. As the bump grows, so does a deep and quiet sense of responsibility. But for 1 in 4 pregnancies, that journey ends in loss. It’s a kind of grief few talk about—a heartbreak that often has no ceremony, no ritual, and no shared mourning. Bereaved parents are left to grieve alone, their pain invisible to the world. Today on the show, we meet Kavita Nehemiah—a mother who has turned her loss into a collective healing experience. Through her work, she’s creating spaces and communities where loss mothers can gather, be witnessed, and find strength in each other.   Useful Resources: 1.

Episode 15 - The Mommy Mix Tape With Dr. Sucheta Tiwari

The being and becoming of “mom” is often fraught with contradictions. The experience of Motherhood is frequently betrayed by the institution of Motherhood — by the expectation of stepping into a role rather than remaining a person. The powerlessness, rage, ambivalence, demoralization, and weariness brought on by this new identity are often pushed into the darker recesses of experience — yet every mother has felt them, at some point, in some measure. Everyone with an opinion polices Motherhood; judgment seems to come with the territory. So, how does one navigate and enrich her own experience, while building resilience against the very real challenges that Motherhood carries within? On the show, we have Dr. Sucheta Tiwari. Sucheta is a mum to a two-year-old and a psychiatrist with a special interest in women’s mental health, particularly during the perinatal period. She studied public health at Oxford, where she explored the impact of intimate partner violence on women’s health, and she is a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Sucheta works as a speciality registrar in London and has completed her training with a perinatal mental health team and a mother-and-baby psychiatric unit.     USEFUL RESOURCES: 1.

Episode 14 - The Mommy Reset

The unpredictability of motherhood is something we face every day. No one can truly prepare for a giggle fest or a tantrum—you just have to roll with it. The mommy meltdown, however—whatever form it takes—is a critical reset for all of us. There are moments when we need to “force quit” and take stock of everything happening within us. How we carry both triumph and shame throughout our journey is essential to staying true to our essence. In today’s episode, Bakul and Priya share how, sometimes, we need to pause our passion to understand context, crisis, and the way forward.   Find us on Instagram: Priya [https://www.instagram.com/priprimatt?igsh=OTVjdjFyNnFzM3Ro] / Bakul [https://www.instagram.com/bakul.dua?igsh=emIwaG83OGlnOGQ4] / The Mommy Mix Tape [https://www.instagram.com/mommymixtape?igsh=b3p0dzk5bHlubXU3]
