    Am I Torturing Myself Just to Feel Pretty? ft. Neha Doodles & Chhavi Joshi

    Do you remember the first time you had your eyebrows threaded? You walked out with perfectly shaped brows, feeling like a million bucks—but also wondering, “Why did I just sit through that torture?”

    Surbhi's got talented artist Neha Doodles and hilarious comedian Chhavi Joshi to overthink the ouch-factor of beauty regimes. Expect to crack up a bit with their funny and super honest (and graphic) stories about waxing, threading, shaving and more.

    Plus, it's like hanging out with friends – loads of laughs and advice on why it's cool to just do what feels right for you, not what everyone else says you should!

    Stuff we overthought:

    • Dealing with Bullying and Body Hair Insecurities
    • Hair Removal Gone Wrong Stories
    • Breaking Up With My Parlour Lady
    • Is pretty worth the hurt?

    Get ready to confront the truth about beauty, self-worth, and the real cost of looking “perfect.”

    How To Not Get Cancelled?

    Hello Overthinkers ™ Today’s discussion is yet another suh-lippery slope!

    What does “problematic” even mean? What happens in between "problematic" and "cancelled"? When it comes to our faves — how do we consume art and culture responsibly? When Kanye comes on at the club, do you stop dancing?

    We’ve all had an “oops” moment, but with the power of social media, the consequences of that moment could lead to some tricky places.

    We'll be brave and try to figure it all out in this episode of The Overthink Tank, with comedian/wise-uncle Ashish Shakya and entertainment lawyer Priyanka Khimani.

    Listen in.
