Nuts and Bolts of Wellbeing

6d ago • 49 mins

Ready to dive into a conversation that’s as real as it gets? Join Navya and Saahil for a no-holds-barred chat about something we all struggle with: self-image. But what happens when that insecurity starts taking over your life?

In this episode, they’re tackling the tough stuff—eating disorders and body dysmorphia—issues that are way more common than we think, especially here in India. From the silent battles of Anorexia, Bulimia, and Binge Eating Disorder, to the all-consuming obsession with perceived flaws (hello, body dysmorphia), they’re breaking it all down in a way that’s easy to understand but hard to ignore.

But wait, there's more! Navya and Saahil aren’t just talking about the problems—they’re also exploring the whys. Ever wondered why so many of us feel the pressure to look a certain way? They’ll explain how social media, societal beauty standards, and even cultural norms in India mess with our minds, sometimes without us even realizing it. And guess what? They’re giving you some solid advice on how to fight back—with tips to build a healthier relationship with your body and practical steps for creating supportive environments, especially for kids and teens.

Whether you’ve faced these issues yourself, or you just want to understand them better, this episode is a must-listen. It’s packed with insights, a few laughs, and the kind of real talk that makes you rethink everything you’ve ever been told about beauty.

So hit play and get ready to change the way you see yourself—and the world around you.
