About Utar Chadhav

Together, navigating the ups and downs of life! Utar Chadhav(ups and downs) is a mental health podcast. We aim to bring forward nuanced stories of mental health from the trenches in Nepal. We are setting out to rob social taboos of their power by gently turning over the rocks of common, authoritarian, black-and-white judgments to reveal the gray underbelly of lived experiences, so these judgments lose some of their power to cause mental distress.

   जोमो (joy of missing out)

   Join Sid and Sj as they take us through a journey of how our understanding of alcohol and other substances are formed from what we witness in and around family environments and how has the wisdom from witnessing led them to think about their own practices as it pertains to organizing in queer spaces as well as having fun, coping in stressful environments. The conversation then gives insight into setting boundaries while parallely understanding the structural injustices that come in the way and the importance of having these conversations moving away from labels and judgements. **** More about Season 3 Since S1 E9: Cheers, we have been thinking about harm reduction practices in our community.

   यो एपिसोडमा, हाम्रो cultural practices हरुले substances संगको सम्बन्धलाई के कस्ता असर पार्छन् र हानी न्युनिकरणले यी सम्बन्धहरुलाई केलाउने, पहिल्याउने के कस्ता अवसरहरुको वातावरण शृजना गर्नसक्छन् र यी कुराहरुमा हाम्रो शरीरमा रहेको ज्ञानलाई किन महत्व दिनु पर्छ भन्ने वरपर रहेर कुरा हुँदैछ। Listen to “mature”millennials Ujjwala and raji talk about their own journeys of understanding their lineage of how they were guided to engage with substances and what feels affirming and what needs to be discarded. The conversation centers the importance of sensorial journeys connected to culture, class and caste intersections. And most urgently the importance of rituals and slowing down in this increasingly disorienting world. Listen with your loved ones and we hope it resonates with you to create fun embodied rituals involving your senses that center fun, whimsy and wellbeing. ***** More about Season 3 Since S1 E9: Cheers, we have been thinking about harm reduction practices in our community.
