ROOH (Rising Over Obstacles and Healing)

Life Lessons from the NBA Champs!

Five decades of waiting are officially over, and the New York Knicks are NBA Champions! But this isn't just a sports recap, cuz we're two desi moms and how much do we really know about basketball? In this episode of ROOH, we talk about how Jalen Brunson’s relentless work ethic and the team’s incredible collective chemistry serve as the ultimate blueprint for our own daily lives. From massive comebacks to quiet dedication, we explore the championship values we can all learn from and apply to our goals, families, and growth. Go Knicks!

You Want to Be a Soccer Writer? Huh?

While the outside world might look at a Desi woman and go, "You want to be a soccer writer? Huh?", Pardeep Cattry’s reality was totally different. Turns out, she had full support from her family and friends from day one. The real challenge wasn't her inner circle—it was breaking into a sports media industry where literally no one looked like her. In this episode, Pardeep talks about how she resisted the urge to copy everyone else, stayed true to herself, and carved out her own space in a world that wasn't exactly built for her. So to anyone still asking "Huh?"... get ready, because Desi women are taking up space!

How Dare You Change?

People get so uncomfortable when you start evolving—like, how dare you, right? In this episode, Monica and I talk about the messy reality of growth, why society tells us to stay the same, and why our loved ones sometimes resist our changes. We share some of our own stories and a bit of science to show how embracing the shift actually leads to way better relationships and self-awareness. If you're currently in your glow-up era, this one's for you. Grab a cup of chai and let's get into it!

This week, Gagan joins us for a conversation that we desperately need to have more openly: divorce.
