In this episode, I sit down with Karen Johal to explore her deeply personal journey through arranged marriage, cultural identity, and family expectations. Growing up in a Western society while being raised with traditional Indian values, Karen shares the struggles she faced in her marriage, the impact of trauma, and how she ultimately found healing and self-discovery.

We dive into the complexities of grief, forgiveness, and the power of self-awareness in navigating family dynamics. Karen also opens up about her experiences as a mother and the lessons she’s learned from her own upbringing—highlighting the need for a more compassionate and fair approach to parenting, education, and societal expectations.

This conversation is about reclaiming personal power, breaking free from outdated traditions, and creating a life that aligns with who you truly are.
