“We are swimming in the sea of misogyny. And most of the time, we don’t even see it.” — Farideh
Some truths land harder when they’re said out loud. Not because they’re new, but because they confirm what many women have quietly suspected for years: the problem was never their pain, their bodies, or their resilience. The problem was not being believed.
From exam rooms to comment sections, women learn early how quickly their experiences can be dismissed. The result isn’t just frustration, it’s self-doubt. Am I exaggerating? Is this normal? Should I just push through?
Mirror Talks is a place where those questions are finally met with recognition. Where stories that were once brushed aside are treated as evidence. And where women who speak openly help others trust what they feel in their own bodies.
In this episode, we meet Farideh, the singer, songwriter, and comedian whose viral songs about motherhood, women’s bodies, and medical gaslighting have reached millions. Through humor, music, and sharp observation, she breaks the silence around experiences many women were taught to endure quietly.

✨ Turning silence into sound: Why Farideh writes about women’s bodies
Farideh didn’t set out to become a voice for women’s health. She was already a songwriter, until motherhood taught her how easily women’s creativity can be sidelined. The message was subtle but clear: songs about mothers don’t belong in the spotlight. So she stepped away, believing that chapter had closed.
What brought her back wasn’t strategy, but truth. When she began writing about the everyday realities women joke about privately: unequal labor, public praise for minimal effort, being dismissed by doctors, her work resonated immediately. You’re Such a Good Dad went viral, followed later by The Female Body, a song that cuts straight to the heart of medical neglect.
That song was shaped by more than observation. It grew from watching a close friend endure years of ignored endometriosis pain, and from Farideh’s own experience navigating PCOS without answers or validation. The rage wasn’t abstract; it was personal. And still, she’s careful to point out that the song isn’t about blaming individual doctors, but naming a system built on missing research and gendered assumptions.
Farideh believes humor can hold difficult truths without pushing people away. By making women laugh, she helps them recognize patterns they once blamed on themselves. And by giving those patterns language, she reminds them of something essential: they’re not imagining it.
