In this powerful episode, award-winning podcaster and South Asian feminist Sangeeta Pillai joins The Sassy Show to discuss her debut memoir Bad Daughter.

From growing up in Mumbai's slums to landing on Times Square billboards, Sangeeta shares her journey of breaking cultural conditioning, surviving mental health struggles, and challenging the white middle-class gatekeepers of UK publishing. After 39 rejections despite her success with the award-winning Masala Podcast, she self-published her book 'Bad Daughter' - and she's here to tell other creatives why they should stop waiting for permission.

We dive into healing beyond therapy, the power of being a "bad daughter," and why resilience isn't just about surviving - it's about becoming bigger, bolder, and more yourself.

This conversation will inspire you to choose your own path, no matter who tells you it's impossible.
