Desi Dramas Trailer

Desi Dramas is a podcast for Desis navigating the family, relationship, and identity questions that don't have easy answers. Hosted by Dr. Heena Manglani-Terranova, a Harvard-trained clinical psychologist who has spent years working with Desi individuals, couples, and families, the show brings the questions Desis ask in therapy directly to you. Each episode is a window into how a therapist actually thinks. Dr. Heena shares the questions she asks, the patterns she names, and the evidence-based tools she adapts for Desis. Here you will learn how to set boundaries with immigrant parents, break intergenerational guilt, and navigate cultural expectations around marriage. By seeing yourself in these stories and learning practical tools, we hope to empower you to find a new rhythm within the cultures you value. Desi Dramas brings clinical perspectives tailored to Desi lives, written and hosted by someone who lives them, too. This isn't therapy. But we trust it will be therapeutic.
