Stepping out of the shadows with ADHD parent coach Susan Hughes

ADHD couldn’t be a more popular topic these days, particularly in the world of entrepreneurs, but this episode isn’t here for that.

This is beautiful mish-mash of speaking to an incredible woman doing life changing things and flying far too under the radar for my liking.

Her work is impactful, her drive is inspiring, and I light up like a Christmas tree when I speak to her so I’m pretty sure you will too. Added bonus for the parents of ADHD children.

This episode is for all you bad betis & besharam bibis!

Today I catch up with activist, writer & speaker, Sangeeta Pillai, who is the the founder of Soul Sutras.  Soul Sutras is the South Asian feminist platform that is all about tackling taboos in South Asian culture, creating safe spaces where South Asian women can explore everything from sex to mental health.

Their projects include Masala Podcast, featuring interviews with fierce South Asian women about taboo topics and Masala Monologues, a series of writing workshops and theatre shows in the UK & the US.

Starting life as a blog, Soul Sutras now boasts a range of projects from podcast, theatre shows, webinar to books & beyond.

She has become a key voice in British South Asian feminism speaking at the Women of the World (WOW) 2020 and has been featured in the Huffington Post, BBC Asian Radio, Brown Girl Magazine and is the winner of British Podcast Awards 2020 & 2019.

She tells me about living life in the slums of Bombay, her volatile relationship with her father and the affect it's had on her throughout life, the complicated relationship between culture and identity, and how it's so refreshing to see the younger generation of South Asian women speak up.
