A podcast for Bengali people from a Bengali girl. Listen to me (and occasionally my friends) speak about the deshi nostalgia, bhoot jinn stories, mental health and so much more from the perspective of a Bangladeshi growing up stuck between the traditional and western culture.
Anxiety in Desi communities is often dismissed or silenced. In this episode, I unpack the pressures on men to suppress emotions and women to bear endless responsibilities, along with the cultural stigma that keeps us from seeking help. It’s time to break the cycle, set boundaries, and normalize mental health. Let’s talk. 💬✨ #DesiAnxiety #MentalHealth #BreakingTheStigma

Buckle up for some storytelling, self-reflection, and possibly a few unhinged tangents. Let’s get into it!

Episode 2: Mental Health and Us
Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of mental health which may be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, please seek professional help.
Welcome to Bengali Girl, the podcast that explores the experiences and perspectives of modern-day Bengali women. In this episode, we delve into the topic of mental health and its space in Bangladesh.
Mental health is a taboo subject in many South Asian cultures, and Bangladesh is no exception. Stigma and shame often prevent individuals from seeking help or even discussing their struggles with loved ones. But as mental health issues become increasingly prevalent, it's more important than ever to break down these barriers and have open and honest conversations.
As a Bengali woman who has experienced mental health challenges herself, I share my own research and personal experiences with mental health. We discuss the challenges and opportunities for mental health advocacy in Bangladesh and explore cultural attitudes towards mental health and the ways in which they can be shifted to promote greater understanding and support.
Bengali Girl is a podcast that aims to create a space for Bengali women to share their stories and perspectives on a wide range of topics. Whether you're a member of the Bengali community or simply interested in learning more about our experiences, we invite you to join us for thought-provoking discussions and engaging conversations.
