Hosted by Zain Calcuttawala and Avanti Malhotra, Marbles Lost & Found is a podcast to raise awareness about mental health and its importance in our day to day life.

She Says She’s Fine
This is a 25-episode women’s health series from Audible Suno created and hosted by Dr Munjaal Kapadia. Why is it difficult for women to prioritise their health? Why is there a vortex of guilt around women’s bodies and their medical care? How can we alleviate the fear around women’s deepest, most private health concerns? The series takes the shame and stigma away from subjects such as sex, contraception, periods, motherhood, and miscarriages, challenging misinformation, myths, and unshackling social taboos.

Meet a person with a skill you can use
Mahajan has always been fascinated with products and their ingredients. She would habitually read labels and ingredients for everything that came into sight. She even experimented heavily on herself-even giving herself glycolic acid peels at home (do not try). During college, she had a part-time job at a high-end spa in Princeton, which nurtured her love of the science behind and philosophy of skincare.
Being a certified Holistic Therapist, healing with her hands comes naturally to her. When the lockdown hit last year, in-person treatments were out of the question. She started faceworkoutparty, a combination of teaching her proprietary 10-10-10 Technique with music, dance and humour. The programme is designed to free people from the stress of taking care of their skin. She combines multiple modalities and coaches people on how to heal their skin from within.
