EP 42: FOMO & JOMO Are Real - Diwali Edition

This week on LoveSND, we’re talking all things Diwali — from the cozy, family-centered celebrations we grew up with to today’s Instagram-worthy, over-the-top parties. Have we lost the real meaning of the festival of lights, or just found new ways to celebrate it?Join us as we unpack the FOMO vs. JOMO of Diwali, the pressure of keeping up with social media perfection, and how we’re trying to build new traditions for our kids that still honor our roots. We get real about cultural identity, family chaos, music, and that eternal struggle between modern life and old-school values.Whether you’re lighting diyas with family or dancing under disco balls, this episode will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even rethink what the festival really means to you. ✨[Diwali podcast, South Asian podcast, Indian culture, Desi sisters podcast, Diwali traditions, FOMO JOMO, modern Diwali, cultural identity, family and traditions, South Asian family life, Desi community, Diwali 2025, Desi parenting podcast, LoveSND podcast, Indian festivals]
