pakistani roommates & therapy (ft. Merriam Shahzad)

Welcoming my roommate to the podcast, I was truly grateful to hear her story. We began by sharing how we met and became roommates, reflecting on the value of living with people from similar backgrounds—how we all in a way automatically understand each other as we make some of the best college memories that we will remember for many years to come.Merriam opened up about her hardships and how she overcame them, highlighting the skills she developed through her journey with therapy. We discussed the importance of falling, getting back up, and growing from challenges, as well as the internal struggles from childhood that many of us are still learning to heal during college and early adulthood. This episode was incredibly playful, heartfelt, and therapeutic, and I was honored to have her on.ENJOY
