Topics we need to discuss more in the south Asian community!

I recently did an IG live Q and A on this. Thank you to those who sent questions!

Here are some of the questions I cover in this episode:

Why is there a stigma around getting professional help?

How to have tough conversations with parents.

What’s one thing we should change about our community?

Listen now! I gave answers and shared insights I only do with my paid clients.

Part 2 will be released next week.

Have you talked to your inner child?

We grow older but that does not mean we leave our childhood behind.

Especially, the wounds, the insecurities, the sadness, the fear.

They tend to show up in adult situations. Such as tough conversations, in our relationships, in our career, when we are making decisions, and when we are going through something tough.

These will continue to show up unless we listen and help that inner child.

In this episode, I talk about how we can start doing inner child work.

Once we do that, the inner child will begin to trust us, and the things from childhood will start to show up less.

* Please note: I am not a psychotherapist or trained inner child professional. I am simply sharing my experience of doing inner child work. My hope with this podcast is to help introduce you to to inner child work.

Listen now! Your inner child will thank you!

Your parents think it's a good idea but do you?

In the brown community, it’s very common to receive a lot of input from our parents on life decisions.

While it’s good for the most part, it can also have its limitations.

It can cloud your judgment. It can make it hard for you to filter what you actually want.

As a result, we may end up making choices that we eventually are not happy with.

To avoid this, filter out the opinions and dig deeper to find out if you want to go through with it.

In this episode I talk about:

1. What is required to decide what you want.
2. How to communicate it to your parents.
3. The negative consequences of not going with what you want.

Imagine if you had enough conviction to stick by what you want!

Imagine if you could communicate what you want to your parents.

It can be made possible even if you have no experience with tough conversations.

Listen now to discover how!

What would your life be like if :

You could be vulnerable

You could express yourself

You could talk about pain and sadness

All without being embarrassed or ashamed?

It can be made possible.

➡️Continuing on last week's episode, in this one I talk about 5 straightforward ways you can shed shame and embarrassment so you can be vulnerable and express yourself.

➡️Anyone can do it! No matter how old you are and no matter how much experience you have with opening up.

✅Listen to it now so you do not need to live in the shadow of that shame and embarrassment.

✅Once you overcome that, you can get the help you need!

You want to be vulnerable.

You want to express yourself.

You want to open up about your pain and sadness.

But you are too embarrassed and ashamed to do so.

This is far too common in the brown community.

This prevents us from getting the help we need.

We hide how we feel. Unfortunately, it's not truly hidden because it comes out in other ways.

WE cope with it by turning to drugs, alcohol, rage, or aggression.

WE damage our relationships, ruin our careers and destroy our energy and motivation.

SO WHY is there so much shame around this?

Listen to this episode to discover the why.


🔥Listen now to discover sources of embarrassment and shame you knew never existed!

The first step is becoming aware of where that shame and embarrassment comes from.

Only then can we start to get the help we need and shed that shame and embarrassment.

We know the right thing to do but we don't do it!

When you get knocked down, get back up!

When you have conflict, talk it out!

When you fail, learn from it!

When you feel down, be grateful!

These are great ways to handle tough situations.

However, if you move on too fast, you will miss the true experience of that tough situation.

Instead, just sit with the situation and feel how you feel especially if it’s negative (yes negative!).

So why experience the toughness of the situation?

Why experience the pain?

Why experience the negative emotions?

Listen now to discover why!

Is breaking old school thinking easy?

How do I make a tough conversation easier?

I get made fun of when I talk about my feelings. What do I do?

This episode covers the 10 most common questions I get asked on IG and my workshops.

The topics range from how to express yourself, how to live life on your own terms, how to talk to your parents, and how to stop generational trauma.

Listen now!

Need someone to talk to but you fear you will be judged!?

Even if we decide to open up, it’s usually with friends and family.

However, they are not always the best people to speak to especially about our feelings and emotions.

In this podcast, I talk about a few ways of how you can express your feelings.

There are so many people and ways you can talk about them in a safe way! In a way, you won’t be judged, rejected, disowned, or made fun of!

Once you listen, please consider one or all of these methods!

If you fail to have these tough conversations, your emotions will become suppressed.

This can result in stress, low energy, low motivation, a decrease in confidence anxiety, violence, and damaged relationships.

Don't avoid talking about your feelings because I can tell you, it's possible to do it without being judged!

I have been in your shoes and you'll be fine. This is something we hear too often within the brown community.

Yes to some extent we have gone through similar experiences that others have. This is an advantage that allows us to help others.

But there is a big part we miss. The part of actually understanding what the person is feeling and experiencing.

We can never truly go through the exact same experience as someone else.

Think of the pandemic for example. It is fair to say it affected all of us differently.

Saying we have been in their shoes is the starting point, but more work is required!

In this episode, I talk about if we just tell people we have been in their shoes that it is actually doing more harm than good.

I will touch on how to better understand the person’s situation so you can help them properly.
When you do that, they will feel that:

•Their feelings and experience is valid (they are not weak)
•They are not overreacting
•They can go to you for help because you’ll listen and not make assumptions

Listen to it now!

Do you have Resentment towards someone?

Sometimes resentment is built without us even knowing. It starts small and usually does not show until things get worse.

At that point, there is a good chance the resentment has already:

•Drained your energy
•Caused you stress
•Damaged your relationship.
•Made you stop talking to the person

In this episode, I talk about the 5 progress stages of resentment.

After listening to it, you will have more awareness of resentment.

When you have more awareness, you can detect it when it’s small and address it.

When you do that you will not damage your relationship, cause stress, and your relationship
might end up becoming more fulfilling.
