Chai & Chaos

Closing 2025, Pouring Into 2026

Episode 5: Closing 2025, Pouring Into 2026 In this episode, we’re looking back on 2025, the highs, the lessons, the chaos, the moments that stretched us, and the ones we’re deeply grateful for. Then, we set our sights on 2026, sharing our resolutions, goals, and mindset shifts, along with what we’re choosing to carry forward and what we’re ready to leave behind. It’s a grounded, reflective conversation about growth, intention, and stepping into the new year with clarity (and a little chaos). Grab your chai and join us as we close out one year and welcome the next.

Chaos & Conviction

Episode 4: Chaos & Conviction After a little hiatus, we’re back! In this episode of Chai and Chaos, we catch you up on everything you missed while we were away and share what’s new in our lives. Then, as the holiday season surrounds us, we dive into a candid, thought-provoking conversation about religion—its role in our lives and how it shapes the way we celebrate this time of year. Grab your chai and settle in for the chaos!

Mother Knows Chaos

Episode 3: Mother Knows Chaos In this episode, we talk about our moms’ origin stories, growing up in India, immigrating to America, building new lives, and raising us in between two cultures. We share how their journeys shaped who we are, how we show up in our communities, and the women we’re becoming. From mother-daughter trips to the evolving bond that comes with adulthood, we reflect on how our relationships with our moms have deepened over time. We also talk about what motherhood looks like for our generation, our hopes, hesitations, and how we plan to carry forward (and rewrite) the lessons we learned from them. Follow us on Instagram @chaiandchaos.pod [https://instagram.com/chaiandchaos.pod] to join the conversation and share your own stories about motherhood across generations.

Chaos in the City: Cabs, Curry & Community

Episode 2: Chaos in the City: Cabs, Curry & Community  Come along as we relive our New York trip, including a dreamy stop at the Sabyasachi store, a night at the theater watching John Proctor is the Villain, and all the delicious food spots we managed to squeeze in between. Of course, no episode of Chai & Chaos is complete without going deeper: we open up about our immigrant parents, the lessons they’ve passed down, and why building community matters so much to us. It’s travel stories, cultural reflections, and plenty of laughter.  We’ll be dropping new episodes every other Monday, so mark your calendars and keep an eye out for our next one on 10/6!
