Re-Release: Breaking Taboos: Mental Health & Healing in the South Asian Community

In this re-released episode, I was interviewed by Ravi Toor for an open and honest conversation about mental health in the South Asian community.We talked about the pressure many of us grow up with such as to be strong, to stay silent, and to deal with everything on our own.I shared my personal experiences around emotional suppression, why relying only on family support isn’t always enough, and how finding safe, trusted people outside of traditional structures can be a turning point in healing.We also discussed practical ways to set boundaries, speak up for yourself within family dynamics, and prioritize your mental well-being without guilt or shame.This conversation is about breaking stigma, challenging cultural expectations, and learning that taking care of your mental health doesn’t mean rejecting your culture — it means choosing yourself.If you’ve ever felt caught between who you’re expected to be and how you actually feel, this episode is for you.Follow me on Instagram:👉 https://www.instagram.com/sunnyccoaching
