Beyond Social Media: Virdah Javed Khan on Motherhood, Expectations & Starting Again | Ep 1

Описание: What does it actually take to rebuild when something you spent years building disappears overnight?

Virdah (@mom_in_dubai) joins Making It Mumkin with Nikita Phulwani for the very first episode — an honest conversation about identity, expectations, and starting over.

To most people online, she is a comforting presence, a familiar routine, and a creator with a community of over a million followers. But behind the posts is a journey that included uncertainty, self-doubt, motherhood, career breaks, and even losing her entire platform at its peak — and choosing to begin again.

This episode moves beyond social media and into real life: the roles we grow up preparing for, the ones we inherit, and the ones we slowly build for ourselves.


In this conversation, Nikita and Virdah talk about:
— Losing her account after years of building and the emotional impact of starting from zero
— Expectations placed on women after marriage and redefining identity beyond them
— Motherhood, postpartum depression, and the silence around it
— Financial independence and the confidence that comes with earning your own money
— The reality behind content creation: consistency, patience, and long-term growth
— Community vs numbers, and why validation cannot be the only motivation
— Partnership, encouragement, and the role support plays in personal growth
— What resilience actually looks like in everyday life
Along the way, Virdah shares vulnerable reflections on self-belief, comparison, rebuilding confidence, and learning to trust her own voice.

This episode is for anyone in a phase of becoming — building slowly, figuring things out, or beginning again when life doesn’t go as planned.
