Chai & Chaos is your new favorite hangout spot where two best friends, Sukhmani and Gunita, pour a cup of chai and spill a little chaos. From unfiltered conversations about girlhood, love, and culture to hot takes on pop culture, and everything in between, nothing’s off the table. Equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, it’s the kind of late-night kitchen-table talk you’ll want to be part of. So grab your chai and come get cozy in the chaos.
Episode 5: Closing 2025, Pouring Into 2026
In this episode, we’re looking back on 2025, the highs, the lessons, the chaos, the moments that stretched us, and the ones we’re deeply grateful for.
Then, we set our sights on 2026, sharing our resolutions, goals, and mindset shifts, along with what we’re choosing to carry forward and what we’re ready to leave behind. It’s a grounded, reflective conversation about growth, intention, and stepping into the new year with clarity (and a little chaos).
Grab your chai and join us as we close out one year and welcome the next.

Mother Knows Chaos
Episode 3: Mother Knows Chaos
In this episode, we talk about our moms’ origin stories, growing up in India, immigrating to America, building new lives, and raising us in between two cultures. We share how their journeys shaped who we are, how we show up in our communities, and the women we’re becoming. From mother-daughter trips to the evolving bond that comes with adulthood, we reflect on how our relationships with our moms have deepened over time.
We also talk about what motherhood looks like for our generation, our hopes, hesitations, and how we plan to carry forward (and rewrite) the lessons we learned from them.
Follow us on Instagram @chaiandchaos.pod (https://instagram.com/chaiandchaos.pod) to join the conversation and share your own stories about motherhood across generations.

Chaos in the City: Cabs, Curry & Community
Episode 2: Chaos in the City: Cabs, Curry & Community
Come along as we relive our New York trip, including a dreamy stop at the Sabyasachi store, a night at the theater watching John Proctor is the Villain, and all the delicious food spots we managed to squeeze in between. Of course, no episode of Chai & Chaos is complete without going deeper: we open up about our immigrant parents, the lessons they’ve passed down, and why building community matters so much to us.
It’s travel stories, cultural reflections, and plenty of laughter.
We’ll be dropping new episodes every other Monday, so mark your calendars and keep an eye out for our next one on 10/6!
