The Shispot
A personal, honest, authentic and oftentimes funny account of my life, as an Indian American girl who grew up in a small blue-collar town in PA. I share my struggles growing up in a traditional but dysfunctional family that continues to plague me as an adult, but has also positively shaped my perspective on how I live presently. I’m a former radio personality of 15 years turned mental health counselor, who just really misses radio, especially what radio used to be, and that was great conversations and great personalities. At the height of my career in radio, I had an existential moment, a realization that there has to be a better way to think and live that society doesn’t teach us. Hence the ShiSpot was born. It’s still a work in progress, like my screwy life. I hope my takes on different topics, with the help of some very smart people, can be enlightening and refreshing in some way, different from the norm, and useful/helpful in your own life.

During this past summer, my father was in the hospital and at this time I was trying to make peace with the fact that he may not survive and therefore started to look back on our complicated relationship. My dad is a complicated guy, but he's also my dad. I always hated the fact that I've struggled with conflicted feelings around him and how much that affects me, and probably has in so many aspects of my life. This episode is about complicated relationships with our parents.

Welcome to episode 1of The Shispot!
I always wanted to be a mom, but it didn't happen. When I was younger, I just assumed it would, but as in most cases, life got in the way. I will admittedly look around sometimes and think, "wait, they have kids, and I don't?!"
Consider this my honest reaction to never having kids...no pun intended but, am I alone?
