● About Me
Hi, I’m Pallavi, the storyteller at The Good Juju.
I’m a mom of two little humans and one very opinionated cat, sharing the highs and lows of parenthood with honesty and heart.
From baby milestones to mommy survival tips, I write about what I’ve learned (and what I’m still figuring out). This space is my cozy corner for comfort, connection, and a little bit of magic in the everyday chaos 🌸
Here, I share the real stories of motherhood—messy, magical, and often hilarious—sprinkled with cultural traditions, postpartum truths and survival hacks with a wink of humor.
Because motherhood isn’t Pinterest-perfect—it’s chai-fueled, messy, and still the best juju ever.
If you’ve ever thought, “Is it just me?”—welcome, you’ve found your tribe. ✨
