Taren Kaur shares her story of breaking stereotypes as a young, Punjabi Sikh woman from the UK by pursuing her passion as an artist and a singer.  We all have boxes that life tries to put us in or trajectories we think we’re supposed to follow.  Oftentimes we wrestle with the idea that there is a right or a wrong direction for us to take in life, and we just need to somehow figure out what that is.  But rather than worry if we've taken the right turns, we can create time and space for ourselves to simply ask "does this feel right to me?"  And what makes that hard is that what feels what for us, may not be what feels right for someone else.  Taren describes what it's like to search inside herself to find her calling and how she strives to live from that place with humility and grace, every day. 

Nikki describes growing up as black woman with curly hair in a society that told her she’s supposed to look different in order to achieve success and in order to find acceptance.  We hear her transformation of hiding from the world to highlighting who she is to the world by rejecting the social narrative and writing a new one.  She eventually created a global brand and an online community, curlynikki.com, where thousands of people share their story of self-acceptance and remind each other that the love and belonging we seek shines out from within always. We discuss finding yourself in the face of social pressures and leaning into spirituality as a means to ground and find center.
