your big sis.
I am a real-life big sis, here to bring positivity and continue to open the door for tough conversations within our community. I am actively grieving, healing and discovering how to become the best version of myself. I'm learning quickly that this is a lifelong task. My ultimate goal is that everyone finds their inner cheerleader. It doesn't matter how many supporters you have around you. When you sit in silence and self-reflect, can you look into the mirror and genuinely affirm your love for the person standing in front of you? If the answer is no, don't worry I got you!
your big sis.
Grief Is Anything But Linear with Parthi B. Patel
Navigating grief and emotions within a South Asian community can be challenging due to the strong cultural emphasis on maintaining a certain facade and upholding a "perfect family picture". Expressing vulnerability or seeking professional help for mental health issues is often stigmatized, making it difficult for us to openly share our pain and seek support.
Parthi B. Patel joins me today on discussing what is relatively normal when trying to grieve. She talks about her own journey, the importance of support within your circle and even some helpful tips to start having these conversations with each other!
