Episode 125
Wednesday, 5 November, 2025
In many South Asian families, comments about weight are almost a love language — but one that often leaves us feeling small. This episode explores how to set boundaries when parents or relatives comment on your body, and why doing so isn’t about rebellion or disrespect — it’s about self-respect and emotional clarity.We talk about how to approach these conversations with empathy, firmness, and a focus on your own wellbeing, not on changing theirs.In this episode, we discuss:Why weight comments are so normalized in South Asian householdsHow to separate love and concern from control and criticismWays to communicate boundaries clearly without escalating conflictWhy setting limits isn’t “Western” or “disrespectful” — it’s healthyHow speaking up can shift family dynamics and nurture mutual respectDaily Inspiration: Instagram @tejalvpatel
