Brown and Unbothered Podcast

Hosted by Sharan Bilan & Priya Tahim

Two brown girls, two unhinged opinions, and zero interest in settling for the bare minimum. Welcome to Brown & Unbothered, where we talk relationships, healing, and all the toxic cycles we finally decided to unsubscribe from.

Unfiltered girl talk.
Therapy-meets-chaos energy.
And the soft-but-savage glow-up era you didn’t know you needed.

If it’s messy, we’re naming it.
If it’s healing, we’re hyping it.
If it’s toxic, we’re blocking it.

Grab your chai, your boundaries, and your delulu bestie.
Sharan & Priya are here to keep it brown, bold, and beautifully unbothered.

In the final Brown & Unbothered episode of 2025, Sharan and Priya sit down to answer intentional reflection questions and unpack the year that was: the growth, the heartbreaks, the glow-ups, and the lessons that changed them.
Together, they reflect on dating, relationships, career moves, friendships, boundaries, healing, and the moments that pushed them out of their comfort zones. They talk honestly about what they’re proud of, what they’re releasing, and how 2025 reshaped the way they show up for themselves and each other.
This episode is part reflection, part real talk, part therapy-adjacent girlhood. A space to process the wins and the wounds before stepping into a new year. If you’re closing out 2025 feeling reflective, grateful, tender, or ready for a reset, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
✨ Here’s to lessons learned, boundaries strengthened, and entering 2026 grounded, intentional, and still very unbothered.

This week, we’re taking dating in 2025 and ripping the gift wrap right off. Priya and Sharan go rapid-fire on everything from the biggest highs of the year to the lows that made us want to delete the apps… again.
We ask each other the real questions:
What was your biggest dating high of 2025 so far?
And your biggest low?
Best first date and what actually made it good?
Worst first date and what made it a flop?
The moment that restored your faith in dating
The moment that made you swear off men until further notice
A green flag you didn’t expect to value
A red flag you knew better than to ignore
It’s honest, hilarious, chaotic, and painfully relatable.Think of it as your year-in-review for dating unfiltered, brown, and unbothered.
Tune in and unwrap your own dating highs & lows with us. ✨

In Episode 2 of Brown & Unbothered, Sharan and Priya dive directly into the greyest area of modern relationships: Can men and women really be just friends?And what actually separates a friendship from a full-blown situationship?
This episode is the blueprint for anyone who’s ever said:“We’re just friends…”while their soul, their group chat, and their therapist said,“Girl, be serious.”
Sharan & Priya break down:✨ the difference between platonic energy and “I low-key like you” energy✨ why blurred lines feel exciting… until they don’t✨ the silent expectations that turn friendships into emotional situationships✨ how physical chemistry complicates everything✨ the female tendency to emotionally invest vs. the male tendency to emotionally avoid✨ signs your “friend” is breadcrumbing you into a situationship✨ and how to reclaim clarity, boundaries, and your damn peace
They tell stories, spill some tea, expose their own delusions, and give the therapist-meets-chaos commentary only your podcast can deliver. Expect laughter, honesty, and the kind of raw conversation two brown girls aren’t “supposed” to have publicly, which is exactly why they’re having it.
This episode is for:💋 the girl texting her “friend” goodnight💋 the guy calling you at 1AM “just to talk”💋 the delulu bestie defending a man who hasn’t even defined the friendship💋 anyone tired of guessing what the relationship actually is
By the end, Sharan and Priya answer the real question:Is it friendship, a situationship, emotional convenience… or just a man refusing to communicate?
Grab your chai, your boundaries, and your sanity...Episode 2 is where clarity finally enters the chat. 🤎🔥🎙️

In this episode of Brown & Unbothered, Sharan and Priya unpack the ultimate list of dating icks…from the tiny cringe moments to the major “absolutely not” deals. Nothing is off-limits: bad texting energy, gym selfies gone wrong, situationship delusion, beige flags disguised as green ones, and every little thing that makes your soul whisper nope.
We’re talking laughter, therapy-flavored truth, and a little too much relatability. Because if you’ve ever caught an ick so strong it could end a whole situationship? Same, girl.
Grab your iced chai and get ready to feel seen, attacked, and unbothered - in the best way. 🎙️✨
