   Ep 27: Postpartum Weight Loss, C-Section Pooch & Why The Gym Won't Change You | Sohrab Khushrushahi

   Postpartum weight loss is the one thing every Indian mum Googles at midnight, and nobody gives her a straight answer. So I asked Sohrab Khushrushahi. The weight that didn't leave. The C-section belly that still looks pregnant. The core that feels disconnected. The exercises that just aren't working. And that quiet, constant pressure to "bounce back." I sat down with Sohrab Khushrushahi, founder of Sohfit, and asked him everything we're too embarrassed to ask out loud. That the 40-day rest period isn't gospel. That one of his students deadlifted 70kg the day she delivered and was back in the gym five and a half weeks later. That the C-section pooch might take a year, two, or three, no matter what a reel promises. That perimenopause and menopause are also postpartum. And the line that stopped me completely: the gym cannot change you — only the way you eat does. We also cover cardio vs weight training, why two hours of padel might be funding your physiotherapist's next holiday, why muscle is the real longevity hack, and why he now trains five-year-olds and teenage girls. If you've been consistent for eight months and the scale hasn't moved, this one's for you. Sohrab Khushrushahi is a corporate lawyer turned coach, and founder of Sohfit — now 25,000+ members strong across 70 countries. postpartum weight loss, weight loss after pregnancy, C-section belly, C-section pooch, postpartum fitness India, strength training for women, postpartum recovery, cardio vs weight training, perimenopause weight gain, Sohrab Khushrushahi, Sohfit, Mumma Approved podcast

   Ep 26: Your Child Isn't Yours | Dr. Rachna Shah On Love, Guilt & Enmeshment

   Your child isn't yours. They come through you, but not from you. That line from Kahlil Gibran is where this episode ends. Where it begins is a much harder question. Is it love? Or is it emotional responsibility disguised as love? This week I sit down with Dr. Rachna Shah to talk about enmeshment, a word most of us have never heard but a pattern almost every Indian family is living inside. I went into this conversation ready to talk about parents and in laws. What actually happened is that Rachna turned the question around on me and asked what it would mean to me if my daughter did not become everything I know she could be. And I heard myself say it out loud. I would feel like a lesser mum. That was the moment this stopped being a theory and became personal. Rachna explains it beautifully. A healthy family is a tree with deep shared roots, where every branch is free to grow in whatever direction it wants. Enmeshment is a vine wrapped around that tree, where nobody knows where one person ends and the other begins. It never comes from bad intention. It comes from love. That is exactly what makes it so hard to see. In this conversation we get into what enmeshment actually is and how it differs from a close knit family, why it shows up more in India than anywhere else, why so many men live caught between their mother and their wife, why a child always chooses attachment over authenticity, what emotional intimacy really means and why so many women here have never been allowed to ask for it, the plant and the gardener, and how you heal from all of this without cutting anybody off. The part that stayed with me most is this. Redefining the relationship with your parents is not abandoning them. It is gifting them. If you have ever felt guilty for wanting your own life, this one is for you. About our guest Dr. Rachna Shah is a compassionate, inquiry focused therapist based in Mumbai, working through a holistic lens. She holds an EdD from Johns Hopkins University, USA.

   Ep 25: Parul Kakad on Miscarriages, NLP & Raising Kids Without Losing Yourself

   There's honest. And then there's Parul Kakad honest. Mumbai Mummy. Mum of four. Parenting guide. And someone who has lived through 9 pregnancies, 5 miscarriages, postpartum depression, hormonal chaos, and years of unlearning — and come out the other side with more warmth, wisdom and humour than most people we know. In this episode of Mumma Approved, Parul goes all the way there. She talks about the postpartum depression that blindsided her after her fourth child. The therapy she found in a culture that still treats it like a taboo. The NLP practice that completely rewired how she communicates with her kids, her husband, and herself. And the parenting philosophy she lives by — attachment with detachment — loving your children fully while letting them fall, fail, and figure life out on their own. She also gets into managing a husband she calls "the fifth child," raising teenage daughters in the social media era, what "snatched" means and why it worries her, and the school-grade mix-up story that perfectly captures the mental load every mum carries alone. This is one of the most honest, funny, and genuinely eye opening conversations we've had on this podcast. Every mother needs to hear this one. 💛 In this episode: 9 pregnancies and 5 miscarriages — her story Postpartum depression after her fourth child Why therapy changed everything for her Discovering NLP and how it transformed her parenting Managing "the fifth child" — aka her husband 😂 Raising teenage girls in the age of Instagram Attachment with detachment — her core parenting philosophy Healing her daughter's inner child at age 12 What she hopes her children remember about their childhood [motherhood journey india, parenting coach mumbai, miscarriage and postpartum story, nlp parenting techniques, gentle parenting philosophy, mom of four india, raising teenagers india, love languages for kids, attachment parenting style, mumma approved podcast]
