Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

296. Is Hell A Scare Tactic? Alex Parkview
Monday Feb 06, 2023
Monday Feb 06, 2023
What are the basic beliefs of satanism? How do you get to hell? What is unforgivable? What is blasphemy? Alex Parkview was raised Roman Catholic, did the sacraments, but his dad was closest to a Buddhist. His dad wanted him to have a moral background. Alex feels like his "A Twist Of Faith" podcast is his calling to make people think about things they don’t normally think about just like his dad did after sermons. He tried him help him understand the Bible even though they didn’t get to church together. Better Call Daddy: The Safe Place For Controversy.
There are no atheists in a Fox hole! 27 months in IRAQ! Alex says you do away with emotions and recruiters lie!
"His podcast is an in-depth but modernized and simplified look at as many different religions/spiritual ideologies. To advocate for the nonbeliever in an attempt to help them understand and apply their chosen set of beliefs in a world dead set on pigeonholing them. Also, a realistic look at some popular religious myths all backed by scripture from the teachings of whichever religion said myth pertains to."

292. Toxic Desi Culture - Aradhana KH
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Monday Jan 23, 2023
Are you happy with where you’re at in life? Are you comfortable in your own skin? Did you feel pressured to get married or to marry within your faith? Living up to others standards doesn’t work! Aradhana is 32 years old, born and raised in Southern California. She's a Clinical Social Worker by day and mental health/ lifestyle influencer by night. She struggles with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. She was raised in a strict South Asian household and because of that her anxiety was often disregarded as “being a cry baby or uninterested”. Her parents tried hard to mold her into the “Typical Indian Child”, however each time they did it would cause her Anxiety to worsen. It wasn’t until she got to college that she got any form of validation for her Anxiety. She started to take basic Psychology courses and learned about Anxiety and what it looked like. That was when she realized she struggled with a mental illness and that she wasn’t a “failure of an Indian”. She realized that a lot of her Anxiety came from the Desi Culture and the expectations that are placed on them.
She went on to become a Social Worker in the hopes of shedding light on Mental Health in the South Asian community. That was how Aradhana’s World came about, she created this platform where she talks about the “Toxic Desi Culture” that so many of us have been raised in. She will be starting a podcast called Di NOT Aunty where she sheds light on different toxic traits from the Desi Community. She's hoping by having a platform like this she will provide South Asian’s a place where they are validated and where they know that they are not “disobedient/bad Indians” where they can see that their differences are celebrated and welcomed.
She's a daddy’s girl. Her dad has been a huge advocate of her Anxiety and though he struggled with coping with her Anxiety at times he helped her empower herself and remind herself that though she's not the “perfect Indian child” she's someone who has proven at each adversity that she's worth fighting for.
