In this episode, guest Maneesha Ahluwalia dive deep into the cultural expectations, family dynamics, and personal journeys surrounding aging parents, particularly within the Indian immigrant community. Maneesha shares her unique story as a physician-turned-life coach, her experiences with family, marriage, and cultural pressures, and how these have shaped her perspective on caregiving, tradition, and personal fulfillment.

Key Topics Covered:

• Manisha’s background: from infectious disease physician to life coach
• The evolving relationship with her aging parents and their support through her life transitions
• Cultural expectations in Indian families regarding caregiving, marriage, and gender roles
• The impact of tradition on women, especially daughters and daughters-in-law
• Personal stories of marriage, fertility challenges, and divorce

Notable Quotes:

• “My parents just became this unwavering support for me in a way that I didn’t even realize they had in them.”
• “There’s an expectation of us to be highly educated, independent, but also meet the conventional path of being married at an early age.”
• “The coaching experience allows for us to voice things that we’ve never voiced before. And only then can we start to hear and think in a new way.”
