An Interview With Kuldip Rao

In this deeply moving and courageous conversation, I speak with Kuldip Rao, whose life story is both intensely personal and universally resonant. Born in England to Indian parents and raised in a traditional household where her future was largely predetermined, Kuldip grew up under the expectation of an arranged marriage. By eighteen, facing a life she didn’t choose, she made a radical decision, she packed a small bag before dawn and walked away from home. That single act of defiance cost her fifteen years without contact with her family. But what could have broken her became the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Kuldip went on to travel the world alone, live across continents, and rebuild herself from the ground up. Along the way, she became a yoga teacher, life coach, astrologer, and author, dedicating her life to understanding conditioning, generational trauma, forgiveness, and helping women reclaim their voices. In this episode, we talk about arranged marriage, cultural expectations, people-pleasing, family estrangement, healing childhood wounds, and what freedom truly means. Kuldip shares honestly about rebellion, resilience, spirituality, and the long path toward forgiveness, not just of others, but of ourselves. This is not just a story about leaving home. It’s a story about becoming who you really are. If you’ve ever questioned the life others planned for you, or wondered what it takes to choose your own path, this conversation will stay with you.

Listen to the full interview here on Share It With Me.

In this deeply moving episode of Share It With Me, I speak with Gaynor, who courageously shares her personal journey as an adoptee growing up in the United Kingdom during a time when adoption was shrouded in secrecy and social stigma. While adoption is often viewed as a positive and life-affirming experience, Gaynor offers an important and rarely heard perspective. Her story reveals the emotional complexities that can arise when love, openness, and support are absent. Although she was told from an early age that she was adopted, the subject was never discussed, and her adoptive parents kept it hidden from others, creating an atmosphere of silence and confusion. Gaynor reflects on a childhood marked by control and emotional hardship, later recognizing the impact of narcissistic parenting. While many are filled with joy, Gaynor’s experience sheds  light on the complexities and challenges that can also exist, encouraging a more compassionate and nuanced understanding of adoption.

An Interview With Ejel Khan

In this episode of Share It With Me, I speak with Ejel Khan, founder of the Muslim LGBT Network, a global platform supporting LGBTQ+ Muslims and creating safe online spaces for connection, identity, and mental wellbeing. Ejel shares his personal journey growing up in the UK within a South Asian Muslim community, exploring the challenges of coming out as a gay Muslim and navigating the intersection of faith, culture, sexuality, and identity. We discuss the impact of Islam and LGBTQ+ identity, the effects of 9/11 on belonging and discrimination, and the realities faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Muslim-majority countries where homosexuality can be criminalised. This episode also explores themes of intersectionality, religious identity, online hate, and LGBTQ+ activism, alongside the importance of human rights, inclusion, and freedom of expression. Ejel highlights the role of social media platforms in building global communities and supporting those who cannot safely come out in their own countries. If you’re interested in topics like LGBTQ+ Muslims, Islam and sexuality, coming out stories, identity and belonging, mental health, trauma, and global human rights, this conversation offers powerful insight and real lived experience.

An Interview With Debbie Harfield

In this deeply moving episode of Share It With Me, Dr. Sapna Ramnani speaks with Debbie Harfield, a woman whose journey from fear to freedom is nothing short of inspiring. Once unable to step beyond her front door due to severe agoraphobia during lockdown, Debbie found herself trapped by anxiety and panic attacks so intense that even putting the bins out felt impossible. But through the support of the mental health charity Mind, a commitment to supported self-help, and the transformative power of mindfulness, Debbie began to rebuild her confidence, one small step at a time. Today, she’s not only left the house, she’s teaching fitness classes, driving long distances, and even planning her first trip abroad in years. In this candid conversation, Debbie shares how she moved from feeling like a victim to living as a survivor, the mindfulness techniques that helped her overcome fear, and her plans to use her story to inspire others through public speaking. Her story is a reminder that healing takes patience, courage, and self-compassion and that even in the darkest moments, recovery is possible.
