Life in Conversation
I believe some of life’s best lessons come to us when we talk them through. Life in Conversation explores the moments that shape us, the choices that challenge us, and the stories that move us forward.
Through open and heartfelt discussions, I aim to spark clarity, awaken action, and remind us that life is always teaching when take the time to reflect and truly listen.
I’d love for you to join me in the hopes that it inspires your own journey.

Ep 29: Celebrating 19 Years of Marriage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Nineteen years.
March 17, 2007. A small, intimate surprise wedding and the beginning of a journey neither of us fully understood yet.
As a South Asian woman who married a Caucasian man without full family support, I carried invisible shame for nearly two decades. This year is the first time we're going out for our anniversary dinner. Joyfully. That is not a small thing.
In this episode I get personal. Growing up in an Orthodox Indian household in the Middle East, immigrating to Canada, and building a life with someone raised in a completely different world. The cultural differences. The family expectations. The grief we both carried about the wedding we couldn't have.
After 18 years we finally started talking about that day.
What it meant. What it cost us. And what it opened up when we stopped carrying it alone.
This is about moving from observer of your own life to someone who actually lives it. Releasing shame. Finding each other again - through children, illness, loss, and every transition in between.
This is just the beginning of the conversations I want to have here.
