As a master firewalk instructor and President of the Global Firewalking Association, the irony is not lost on HeatherAsh that when she found herself right on the frontlines of the destruction of climate change, it came in the form of a fire at her home an retreat center in New Mexico. She also has a wildly successful substack documentary about the destruction of almost all of her land.

Varuni recalls the life-changing story of how her therapy dog Mowgli played a crucial role in her recovery from depression and how strangers' act of kindness restored her faith in humanity. She also draws inspiration from the story of Richard Phillips, a wrongfully convicted man who used art as an outlet during his incarceration, and how this inspired her to embrace her creativity and write her book.
The conversation touches on themes of mental health, the immigrant experience, systemic injustice, and the redemptive power of empathy and community support. Varuni emphasizes the importance of moving beyond pain and giving others a chance, regardless of their background. She urges listeners to look for the good in life, even amidst adversity, and to nurture faith and love over fear and hatred.

In part 2 of 3 of this multi-episode conversation with author Varuni Sinah, she narrates a pivotal moment in her life when she confronted her CEO about being fired.
Varuni describes her challenging work dynamics, her employment struggles that followed. She provides a candid look into the ensuing depression, the pressures to maintain family traditions, and how this period contributed to a significant identity crisis.
The discussion shifts to capture her perseverance despite constant setbacks, eventually leading to a deep depression marked by severe self-neglect and alcoholism, further straining her marriage.
Evocatively, Varuni shares an extraordinary subway encounter with a homeless man whose words made her realize her negative behavior towards her husband. This encounter, coupled with her husband's heartfelt plea and temporary move to Los Angeles for a job, propelled Varuni towards self-healing.
Her journey towards recovery saw her engaging with the city’s vibrant life through street photography and volunteer teaching at the Bowery Mission, where she found profound connections with children. These experiences helped her rediscover purpose and meaning in her life.
The episode doesn't shy away from discussing the COVID-19 pandemic's impact, recounting Varuni’s husband’s heroic efforts as a stroke surgeon in New York City. He faced severe challenges, inadequate PPE, the loss of colleagues, and incidents of prejudice. Varuni also outlines their joint effort to raise awareness about the disproportionate COVID-19 deaths among African-American essential workers.
The episode concludes with a focus on Varuni's continued journey of healing and the couple’s reunion at the end of 2020, reminding listeners of the resilience and strength found in love and determination amidst adversity.
Part 3 of this multi-episode conversation airs August 13, 2024.

In this special episode of She's Brave Podcast Kristina interviews Varuni Sinha, author of "Golden Handcuffs: An Immigrant's Pursuit of Happiness." This episode is the first of a three-part series where Varuni shares her journey of hitting rock bottom, regaining her identity, and finding happiness.
Varuni begins by discussing her privileged yet chaotic upbringing in India. She talks about her parents, who were university professors from different caste backgrounds, and the liberal and evolved household they maintained. Despite this, Varuni faced familial challenges, often acting as the glue that held her family together.
The conversation transitions to her complicated courtship and marriage to her husband, a stroke surgeon. Varuni’s unique matchmaking experience involved a traditional mountain prophecy which accurately described the man she would marry. Her eventual marriage led her to move from India to Detroit, where she encountered severe cultural changes and social isolation as she adapted to a new life.
Varuni explains the complexities of the immigration system, particularly the limitations and struggles arising from her spousal visa, which initially barred her from working. Despite these challenges, she pursued a career in journalism and succeeded in obtaining jobs, though faced a hostile work environment that deeply affected her mental health and self-esteem.
The episode concludes with a cliff hanger. We hope you'll join us Thursday for the second installment of this 3-part series. Join Kristina and Varuni as they delve into these raw and inspiring stories of overcoming tremendous obstacles, navigating immigration, and finding personal strength.
