Transcribe →Why We Need to Stop Chasing Balance- Rethinking Balance, Self-Care & Modern Womanhood
Oct 2900:12:09Tap to summarizeSome words used to lift us up- balance, self-care, having it all. Now? They mostly make us sigh.In this solo episode, Maitri talks about why it’s time to retire a few overused words from our modern vocabulary — the ones that started as inspiration but turned into pressure. From “balance” to “self-care,” these words have been stretched thin by social media, self-help, and unrealistic expectations.It’s a fun, thoughtful take on how language shapes the way women see themselves, and why rewriting the words we live by might just be the most freeing kind of self-care.Connect with @littlefixespodcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/littlefixespodcast/ Email me- littlefixespodcast@gmail.comDisclaimer- This podcast is only for educational and entertainment purposes.

Transcribe →Raising Readers Who Read for Pleasure: How Kids (and Adults) Benefit from Books Without Lessons
Oct 100:36:49Tap to summarizeReading isn’t supposed to feel like homework. Yet so many of us grew up with the idea that every children’s book should teach a lesson, carry a moral, or sneak in some “value”. The truth is that kids don’t need a lesson in every story. Sometimes, the magic is in the fun, the giggles, the imagination, and the joy of simply getting lost in a book.In this episode of Little Fixes, we explore why raising readers who read for pleasure matters more than raising readers who just read for outcomes. You’ll hear how books without lessons can still build empathy, creativity, and emotional resilience—for kids and yes, for adults too.My guest is author Asha Nehemiah who writes books for children of all ages. Wonderfully funny characters get into wacky adventures in her books such as The Grand Chapati Contest, Trouble with Magic and The Adventures of Mooli series.We talk about:-Why not every children’s book needs to “teach” something-The hidden benefits of fun and playful stories-How parents can nurture a love of reading without turning it into a task-What adults can learn from revisiting the joy of “just stories”If you want your child to fall in love with reading—or if you’re an adult trying to rekindle that spark yourself—this conversation is for you.Please help me bring more such conversation to you- subscribe to little fixes on youtube and follow the podcast on your podcast app. Do share it with someone you care about.Connect with Asha Nehemiah- https://www.instagram.com/asha_nehemiah/Connect with @littlefixespodcast on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/littlefixespodcast/ Email me- littlefixespodcast@gmail.comDisclaimer- This podcast is only for educational and entertainment purposes.

I pull back the curtain on the real, messy moments of modern adulting: the to-do lists that never end, the wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear, parenting plot twists, and diet/lifestyle goals that depend entirely on your mood.If you're a mom (or know a mom) trying to keep it together, wondering why “balance” feels like a myth, and craving permission to laugh at the chaos — this is your safe space.
