Listen Up with Sim & Isha

How do you explain anxiety to your parents when they call it “just stress”?

In this episode, Simran & Isha open up about what it’s like to deal with anxiety in Indian households, where mental health isn’t always recognized — or understood.

We talk about:
  • Our personal experiences with anxiety
  • The stigma around mental health in desi families
  • How to shift from blame to compassion
  • What helped us start healing
  • And why it’s you and your family vs the problem — not each other
Whether you’re struggling silently or just want to feel seen, this conversation will remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

What is Listen Up with Sim & Isha ?

Welcome to Listen Up with Sim & Isha

Two brown girls in their 20s and your unofficial elder sisters, figuring life out one honest conversation at a time

This season, we’re showing up a little differently
more grounded, more self aware, and growing through it all

From navigating relationships and career confusion to redefining success, expectations, and everything in between, we bring you candid chats, apni kahaniyan, and just the right amount of humor to keep it real

It’s personal
it’s unfiltered
it’s like late night gupshup over chai, but with a little more clarity

If you’re somewhere between who you were and who you’re becoming, you’ll feel at home here
