Welcome to the second episode! One of the reasons why I started this podcast was because of listening to an inspiring honest story from Tasmiah Aziz during her Taz Talks on stage at Giant Dwarf Theatre on 22nd of May. Tasmiah connected with my own journey of mental health, the stigma in desi families and how to find the right therapist. I was in awe of how she could stand on stage vulnerably and connect with her story with each of us. It mentally clicked with me that day that owning my story is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time, and it is scary to open up but we’re all basically in this together so if not now then when. The more you speak up, the more the stigma and ‘shame’ on mental health dies down. I hope you enjoy this very fluid, open and real conversation which has a few light hearted laughs here and there. You can check Taz Talks of Tasmiah Aziz on her Instagram @tasmiah_a. Without further ado, let’s begin.
