 What happens when cultural traditions collide with the whirlwind of modern dating? Welcome to Love-ly, the podcast where our host (@whatthemehak) 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 Is Misogyny Still So Normal?

    Why Is Misogyny Still So Normal?
    May 9 2025
    This week on Love-ly, Mehak sits down with Srijan Makkena, a psych student and content creator who’s been speaking out about the quiet (and not-so-quiet) ways misogyny shows up, especially in South Asian communities. They talk about everything from family double standards and emotional repression to childhood trauma, healing, and what real love looks like when you’ve done the work. It's raw, real, and full of moments that might hit closer to home than expected.

    Do We Really Need to Live Together? A Relationship Hot Take You Didn't See Coming
    May 2 2025
    Subscribe to Hyphenly, our latest newsletter, for a chance to win a gift card: https://immigrantlys-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe Can you have a healthy, long-term relationship without ever living together? This week on Love-ly, Mehak sits down with her best friend, Waleed, for a vulnerable, hilarious, and thought-provoking conversation that flips traditional relationship norms on their head. From TD Bank interview shenanigans to deep reflections on immigrant identity, generational trauma, and personal healing, this episode dives into why space might just be the secret to sustainability. Waleed shares his unconventional but heartfelt take on why separate homes could lead to stronger love. Mehak opens up about her evolving ideas on intimacy, safety, and dating after a lifetime of being told what not to do. If you've ever questioned marriage, cohabitation, or what "doing it right" even means in modern relationships—this one's for you.

  • No Promposal, No Problem: Aidan Taylor on Dating Late & Owning It

    No Promposal, No Problem: Aidan Taylor on Dating Late & Owning It
    Apr 25 2025
    Is it ever too late to start dating? On this week’s episode of Love-ly, Mehak sits down with Aidan Taylor—host of Banterly—to unpack what it really means to be a “late bloomer” in the chaotic world of modern dating. From his first real date at 21 to navigating New York City’s intense queer dating scene, Aidan gets candid about identity, rejection, and learning to love yourself before anyone else does. They talk about first dates, ghosting, gay bar drama (yes, including a bathroom incident), dating as a person of color in a hyper-curated app world, and what it's like to feel "behind" when everyone around you is getting engaged. It's funny, heartfelt, and full of the kind of real talk we all need more of. If you're queer, single in your 20s, or just tired of dating timelines, this one's for you.
