Kind Kind S2 Ep8 – Motherhood, Self Love & Kindness | Ashima | Somrhita | Yamini | Vismaya | Dhriti
What does kindness look like in the chaos of early mornings, diaper changes, teenage rebellion, and everything in between?How do mothers hold space for themselves while raising the next generation?In this episode, recorded in August 2024, we spoke to three incredible women, each navigating different stages of motherhood. Their stories are full of warmth, reflection, resilience—and a lot of honesty.(P.S. Watch at 1.5x speed if you're short on time—we won’t mind!)Somhrita ChakrabortySomhrita is a 36-year-old woman living in Philadelphia, USA, with her husband and three-year-old son. Passionate about balance, mindfulness, and wellness, she practices and teaches Ashtanga Yoga, which helps her find harmony in everyday chaos. Her life experiences have taught her resilience. As a mother, she’s seen both kindness and harshness, and it’s the kindness that’s brought her joy and hope—something she believes is essential to motherhood and worth talking about.Ashima GuptaAshima, 31, is a Program Manager at Swiggy and a new mother to a baby girl. She plays many roles—responsible elder child, coach and friend to her sister, loving partner to her husband, and is on a constant journey to find joy and meaning in life. Often found walking outdoors, doing yoga, or playing chess with her husband, Ashima cherishes coffee dates with friends. She describes herself as thoughtful, obsessive, and sensitive—qualities she embraces as her strengths.Yamini NairYamini is a Creative Director who has worked with top agencies, including Ogilvy & Mather. A fan of all things indie and handmade, she brings rich experience in driving creative solutions for leading brands. Her paintings have been exhibited at Chitra Kala Parishad and Renaissance Art Gallery, Bangalore. She actively engages in clean-up drives and volunteers for creative workshops in underprivileged schools. Awarded by Garden City University in 2020, she has authored two books and enjoys travel storytelling with her son, tea-fueled Zen musings, and visits to her riverside home in Kerala where her love for literature began.About:Kind Kind is an exploration of kindness and the various nuances that are easy to miss in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The philosophy on which this is based is if one does not have an articulation of their own understanding of kindness, the giving and receiving of it becomes challenging as well. The idea is to empower people with the knowledge and confidence to #TryKindness (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/trykindness) and approach relationships with more curiosity than judgment. Join the tribe of audacious dreamers who believe that the world can change with a little more kindness! Kind Kind Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kindkindpod...
