Words, Healing & Self-Expression for South Asian Women

In this episode, Nisha is joined by author and poet, Charni Gill.Together, we explore what it really means to find your voice as a woman - especially when you’ve grown up without the space to be fully seen, heard or emotionally validated.This conversation goes beyond surface-level self-expression. We talk about the subtle ways we learn to perform instead of express, dilute our truth to feel safe, and carry the weight of being misunderstood when we finally do speak honestly.Charni shares how writing can become a powerful tool for self-expression and healing- not as something polished or performative, but as a raw, honest space to process emotions, validate your own experience, and reconnect with your inner voice.We also explore the role of storytelling, metaphors and poetry in making sense of complex emotions, as well as the importance of breaking cultural silences around topics many women were never encouraged to speak about.This is a grounded, honest conversation about identity, expression, and what it really looks like to come back to yourself - one word at a time.As promised here's the earlier episode I mentioned from Season 1 -  Fairytales, Myths + Stories that secretly shape us & our view of the world, as children. Keep in touch with NishaWork With Me: Request Your Consultation CallKeep in touch with CharniInstagram Website + Purchase her collection of works here
