    <description>Welcome to Listen Up with Sim &amp; Isha

Two brown girls in their 20s and your unofficial elder sisters, figuring life out one honest conversation at a time

This season, we’re showing up a little differently
more grounded, more self aware, and growing through it all

From navigating relationships and career confusion to redefining success, expectations, and everything in between, we bring you candid chats, apni kahaniyan, and just the right amount of humor to keep it real

It’s personal
it’s unfiltered
it’s like late night gupshup over chai, but with a little more clarity

If you’re somewhere between who you were and who you’re becoming, you’ll feel at home here</description>
