I am a feminist and I feel that we all should be feminists. If you didn’t know, feminism doesn’t mean female superiority. It means equity and equality for women. And yes it’s still very much relevant because women are nowhere equal to men whether at workplaces or at homes. Talking about feminism is very important to me and this episode is all about it.I’m speaking with Dr. Madhurima Vidyarthi who is an accomplished author besides being an endocrinologist. I read her book The School for Bad Girls and was shocked by how little we know about women’s condition in previous centuries. Even more shocking was the fact that a lot of things are still the same for us. Women have progressed but the men and society as a whole hasn’t progressed as much. Madhurima’s book is about one of India’s first doctors Dr. Kadambini Ganguly but it’s way more than a story.In the episode, author Dr. Madhurima Vidyarthi and I talk about feminism, marriage, men’s role in society, patriarchy, life and a few things we can do to create a society of equals. We discuss both history and the current scenario. Lots to think about and even more to take away, so join us.Please spread the message of feminism by sharing this episode with your friends and family.Connect with Dr. Madhurima Vidyarthi-https://www.instagram.com/madhurimavidyarthi/Episode webpage- https://littlefixescollective.com/179/Support the Podcast- https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maitrivermaConnect with @littlefixespodcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/littlefixespodcast/ Email me- littlefixespodcast@gmail.comDisclaimer- This podcast is only for educational and entertainment purposes.

Fat, thin, dark, light, big nose, small eyes, thin lips, flat chest- there are tons of ways to describe a body and these terms form our body image. Most of us have the tendency to criticize our bodies. I too am guilty of this and am struggling with a poor body image even today.Our families and society have passed on this body image to us and we are transferring it to our kids without being fully aware of it.To add to this, kids these days are exposed to way too many images through social media and other platforms. Even though there are discussions around inclusivity and body neutrality, the perfect 10 figure is still the ideal.Besides this, a child suffering from hair and skin issues, health problems or disability is still sniggered at.  We don’t realize their struggles and have no idea what they are feeling every day.We have to look beyond the body and so when I came across the book Hug Yourself curated by Vinitha, I instantly decided to have her on the podcast. Vinitha has written over 25 books tailored for children and young adults.Her book Hug Yourself has Body Positivity and Empowerment Stories for Teenagers. It’s A Powerful Anthology of 16 Stories Featuring Prominent Writers Like Anuja Chandramouli, Harshikaa Udasi and Santhini Govindan among Others. In my view, Everyone needs to read this book from teenagers to adults of all ages.In this episode we talk about-- Vinitha’s observations on today’s teens and body image- Her and my struggles with body image- How have things changed from when Vinitha was young to now- What can be done to make things better- How we parents can help kids in building a positive body imagePlease help me bring more such conversations to you by sharing this episode with your friends- just copy the link and send over whatsapp, email or a simple text message.

Too old, too young, not good enough, too good for this- we have many such notions but thankfully people are talking about these limiting beliefs and we are seeing inspiring stories of people doing things in their own time at their own pace. I have one such inspiring woman’s story for you. Namrata Lodha launched Myaraa hats at the age of 52. It was her first venture and this entrepreneurship journey started in a living room. The idea was to (re)introduce the concept of hats as an accessory but with a unique design element in it.Inspired by the natural grass fiber baskets from her childhood home in Madhya Pradesh, Namrata designs these accessories with the same material. This production empowers rural women whose families abandoned them for marrying outside their community or being a widow. The company makes work accessible in rural India for these women making sure that when you buy a sunny hat it comes bundled with the social and financial empowerment of a woman.This is a story of breaking norms and also of family support and giving back to society. Listen in to get inspired and share it with your friends.Connect with Myaraa Hats- https://www.instagram.com/myaraaindia/ Episode Webpage- https://littlefixescollective.com/176/Use my special link https://zencastr.com/?via=maitri to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.Support the Podcast- https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maitrivermaConnect with @littlefixespodcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/littlefixespodcast/ Email me- littlefixespodcast@gmail.comDisclaimer- This podcast is only for educational and entertainment purposes.

I have been working from home since 2014 and have realised that it's both a boon and a bane. As a freelancer, I can decide my own schedule which gives me flexibility but this same ease becomes a problem too. I am sure most freelancers, especially women would agree with me. Even the people around us don’t take work from home as seriously especially if you are not working for a multinational. In homes where both husband and wife work from home, the wife is expected to take up more household responsibilities which is necessarily unpaid work. This episode is not a box of complaints but rather a discussion about work from home and how to make it fairer to women. My guest is Neha J Hiranandani.Neha has spent the last two decades working on development issues, with a focus on gender equity in various organisations including the United Nations. Neha’s columns on social and economic issues have appeared in several prominent publications like Indian Express, Huffington Post, NDTV and Vogue. Her first book, Girl Power! Indian Women Who Broke the Rules, was a national bestseller and her latest book is The Padmas which has garnered a lot of attention and love as it features 50 men and women who have been awarded The Padma awards for their invaluable contribution.Let’s talk about the pros and cons of working from home, self-care, guilt and so much more.

Access to mental health care is a privilege. If you can access therapy, support groups, medication, please help yourself and others.Not everyone understands the importance of mental health care, even fewer people think that they need it and way fewer can access it.

When I think about my daughter’s future, I also worry about whether she’ll have access to necessities like clean water, clean air, fresh foods in the upcoming years. These worries can be categorised as eco anxiety and probably you also have such thoughts. The question is what we can do for a sustainable earth for our kids.Did you know that anxieties related to the environment are more common in women? Or that there are many other ways by which environmental change impacts women’s mental health disproportionately? Do you want to know how? And how we can be a little kinder to earth everyday? All this is discussed in today’s episode with Bhagyashree Jain, the founder of The Disposal Company. She was named in the coveted Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list of 2024 for her pioneering work in introducing Plastic Neutrality in India and creating sustainability solutions.Bhagyashre’s venture is helping brands become plastic neutral.

I see a lot of stereotypes around Love and Arranged marriages and with this episode I am attempting to break them by sharing snippets of my life after ‘happily ever after’. I also talk about why I wanted to get married, my upbringing, conditioning, fights with my husband and about motherhood.Husband-Wife relationship is probably the most important for both the spouses involved and if you find the right person, work-life balance, parenting, homemaking and your personal growth become a little easy.I see changing equations in modern families that benefit both the partners and also arrangements that are no good for anyone. This episode is an attempt to spread the message about healthy relationships in marriages.

One thing that definitely comes with marriage is added responsibilities. After marriage both the partners are not only responsible for themselves but also for each other and even for each other’s families to different extents. And if you add parenthood to the equation, things get trickier and overwhelming.While managing responsibilities, we tend to forget ourselves. With so much clutter in our heads, it’s easy to follow what you see around you because you have no mental space to think for yourself. Then comes the fear of judgement, need for validation and we start feeling stuck.We might even feel numb towards our daily lives. We want to take action to do something different but we feel the lack of time and energy. But do you know it’s possible to bring back that feeling of joy in life with Mind Decluttering?

Wouldn’t it be great if our hobbies became our job? Yes, entrepreneurship isn’t fun all the time but it’ll be exciting if we monetize a hobby.
