As you may have heard, I was welcomed into Berlin, Germany by being locked in the Hermès bathroom for over an hour with possibly the worst staff I've ever met. No apology and constant reluctance to help. This episode is now a full family heated debate over luxury stores and how we let them abuse us. It's a raw, honest, and real discussion, and it ended with a pledge I've made that shocked my family. Do you agree with us? Are you also shopping at luxury stores? We want to hear your perspective because it's an understatement to say that ours have changed.

You've all heard the bickering. You've see the side eyes. After listening to all your requests for lighter podcast episodes, we've been holding off on publishing this episode, until we realized what we honor the most is delivering, raw, honest takes you can relate to that no one else is openly talking about. If you are not a fan of deep podcast episodes, we request you stay tuned for our next episode which will be much happier and full of laughs.

When you try to do one good thing...it ends up in disaster. This special is just proof. What we hoped to be a once in lifetime meaningful family outing turned into a disaster very fast. Nonetheless, I am happy to have at the very least monetized our misery. Comment down below your take on this situation, unless you have anything good to say about my husband. In that case, just keep quiet. Thank you to this week's sponsors: For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code ZARNA at https://www.oneskin.co/ZARNA.

Our friends are planning million-dollar vacations. We’re planning how to survive an international tour without losing our minds (or our luggage). But somewhere between flights and green rooms, we’re still sneaking in summer memories beyond work, because apparently my kids need “quality time” and not just my credit card. Tune in and hear what’s on our Summer bucket list, and please comment down below what’s on yours 😉  And before you go, text a question to 855-608-1717 on SMS or WhatsApp for a chance to get a shoutout in the next episode!

You can call it a vacation to the Caribbean, Spain, or the farthest possible location from my mother in law, but packing and unpacking night just be the one thing that ruins it all. If you’re overdramatic of course, which my kids are. What are we packing, what are our tips, and what are some travel secrets we should’ve kept to ourself (Spoiler alert, one of the Garg’s doesn’t wear clean socks and I am getting a DNA test asap).

A family trip never comes without its chaos. While I was reliving one of my favorite childhood memories, each one of my kids, and of course my husband, had their own issues. Regardless, we get to the bottom of whether or not Niagara Falls is worth the hype. And spoiler alert, I don’t care what anyone else says, I LOVED it. Thank you to this week's sponsors.

WHO ARE WE ATTRACTED TO? 😭 I asked a simple question and somehow ended up learning way too much about my children. We are not holding back while we shamelessly reveal whether looks are more important than intelligence (don’t listen to m kids on this), argue about gender roles, and expose the qualities we find most attractive and most unattractive in people.

This episode pretty much sums up our family chaos perfectly. What I thought would be a fun, light conversation about my favorite cleaning hacks, rainbow soaps, and keeping a house somewhat under control somehow turned into my kids making it all about themselves and their feelings. Veer was generally unproblematic in this episode, so I was a little guilty that I forget about him sometimes. If you have more than two kids, you understand. If you don't, please keep your opinions in a clean, clearly labeled container away from me. And thank you to our sponsor for this week's episode. You don’t have to say yes to everything this summer.

How do we show love in a household that never says ”I love you?” My kids surprised me with a Mother’s Day special and let’s just say, I was uncomfortable. And no, it wasn’t entirely Shalabh’s fault. But luckily for all of you…it was actually a sweet memory. No fighting. No bickering. Just uncomfortable moments of…okay, I’ll say it. Love. Thank you to our sponsor for this week's episode.

The boys are calling Zoya’s acne ‘pepperoni pizza. Shalabh is calling his wife names only she would say to her mother in law. I don't want to hear any of you say name-calling is not unheard of in your home, But fine, we can ignore your problems for a second and tune in to ours to decide whether these phony apologies are worth believing.
