Description

I invite you to go back in time and meet my wonderful and grandma. A big part of motherhood is passing down the information to other members of the family, whether we want to use it or not is a different question!

So many women’s stories go untold, their vast amount of invisible work is not seen. So this week, on the Yoga, Bellies & Babies Podcast, is my small effort to tell their stories and give these amazing women the tribute they deserve.

Here's some of what we talk about:

-The India-Pakistan partition in 1947, a historical event which altered the course of many lives.

-Going through a traditional Indian arranged marriage

-Experience of living in a joint family

-The expectations of a young bride in a traditional family

-The challenges of having darker skin colour in the indian society

-Prejudices towards having daughters instead of sons in Indian culture

-The advantage of wearing a sari instead of trousers near you due date!

-Her personal reflections on going through a miscarriage, being pregnant multiples and becoming a mother.

Thank you for listening!
