Our Perspective: Making Space When Living With In-Laws

Welcome back to ROOH! This week, Monica and I are tackling a huge, and often complicated, topic for South Asian women: life in a joint family household.We know it's tough. Living under one roof often means balancing immense love and tradition with a real lack of privacy, which can definitely lead to stress and cultural trauma. We're going to get pretty honest about the daily struggles—from managing expectations to the challenge of setting boundaries when everyone is so close.Tune in as we share our candid perspective, validate those tricky feelings, and offer the practical, everyday "tidbits" on how we found a way to make it work. We talk compromise, communication, and the healing needed to carve out your own space and truly thrive with your in-laws.If you're living this reality, you are absolutely not alone. Let’s make room for ROOH (Rising Over Obstacles and Healing) together.
