À propos de cet audio

 What happens when cultural traditions collide with the whirlwind of modern dating? Welcome to Love-ly, the podcast where our host (@whathemehak) explores the beautifully messy, deeply personal stories of love, identity, and connection. From first and second-generation immigrants balancing family expectations to Gen Z navigating dating apps and “situationships,” Love-ly dives into the heart of what it means to love in today’s tech-driven world. Every Friday, tune in for heartfelt conversations that remind us of one universal truth: no matter where you’re from or what your relationship status is, everyone has a lovely story worth telling.

  • Why Do We Watch Ourselves Live? with Julia Sunderland

    Why Do We Watch Ourselves Live? with Julia Sunderland
    Jan 23 2026
    Is your dating life a lived experience, or just a curated performance? In this episode of Love-ly, Mehak (@whathemehak) sits down with somatic therapist and scholar Julia Sutherland (@JoyfullyJuliaa) to unpack the psychological toll of viewing ourselves from the "outside-in." Together, they unpack the concept of "self-objectification" and why women in particular tend to monitor their external appearances over their internal comfort. From the influence of religious upbringings to the relentless gaze of social media, Julia explains why so many of us feel like we are observing our lives from the outside rather than living them from within. She shares the insights gained from her own 7-day mirror detox, revealing how our self-worth can transform when we stop scrutinizing our reflection and start feeling our existence. Follow along Julia's somatic journey on TikTok and YouTube.

    Feed Drop: How to Date NATO (Not Attached To Outcome) with Erika Ettin
    Jan 16 2026
    This week, we're featuring an episode from Dating Intentionally, a podcast dedicated to making dating more enjoyable. Dating coach Erika Ettin joins Talia Koren to break down the mindset shifts that make dating feel calmer, clearer, and more intentional. You’ll learn about dating NATO (not attached to outcome), avoiding pen-pal dynamics, reading texting patterns, and staying open without over-investing too early. At the end, they dive into a text support question from a listener about a promising first date that turns into confusing texting, and how to handle it.

  • Friction-Maxxing & Finding Your 2026 Obsession

    Friction-Maxxing & Finding Your 2026 Obsession
    Jan 9 2026
    We’re officially in 2026, and the vibe is… intentional. After spending the holidays recovering from a flu-from-hell, Mehak (@whathemehak) is back in the studio for a solo deep dive into the trends and transitions defining the start of the year. This episode covers everything from personal dating updates to the rise of "Friction-maxxing"—the radical art of choosing the inconvenient path for the sake of deeper relationships and a life that actually feels real. We also dissect why the internet is collectively losing it over Tamara’s 365 Buttons project and how a simple jar of crafts became the ultimate symbol of staying in your own lane. To wrap it all up, Mehak explains why Heated Rivalry is the only thing on her FYP right now and why its portrayal of male intimacy is striking such a deep chord with everyone watching. Equal parts reflective and lighthearted, this episode is your personal guide to finding your own 2026 obsession. Grab a drink, get cozy, and let’s get into the first real conversation of the year.
