Prickly Peers
Have you ever wondered why some brown women can stand up to norms and stereotypes more easily than the rest of us? We call them prickly women! Is prickliness inherent or inherited, can you build the prickly muscle to be able to achieve your goals more easily, where do you lie on the prickly meter? Join Ankita and Nalini, your prickly peers, as they talk to uninhibited brown women all over the world in a quest to find the secret brown sauce for their courage, success and happiness.

S01E04: My Mother Said...you're 30, if not now, when??
When is the best time to have a kid? Most South Asian mothers (or aunties) will answer even before they are asked, "definitely before you turn 30". As babies from frozen embryos and eggs to older parents become more common, more couples are deciding parenthood is not for them. Are our mummies and aunties getting onboard?
Join Ankita & Nalini as they join the very prickly author of Everyday Revolution (a book they loved), Amrita Purkayastha as she shares her unusual journey into motherhood; after years of relentless planning to be child-free! Did the poojas and havans work their charm rendering careful contraception useless, or did Amrita change her mind? Tune in to find out.
Don't forget to pick up a copy of the book and share this episode with another prickly peer.
