Authentic Chaos

by Pinky Sabhnani and Atreyi Jayadutt

Hi besties, So we decided to start this podcast during the pandemic, I know, how basic? But anyway, on here, we get vulnerable, weird, talk about real things, and often times give no bs advice. If you are looking to listen to something that will help you with your daily life, hopefully reduce your anxiety, and are looking for two friends (wow that was cringe), but I am not joking, we are here for you, validating your feelings in the most non-judgmental way. This life thing is weird, you do not have to do it alone! Follow us on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@authenticchaos90?lang=en
