Navigating Culture, Family, and Self: Insights on Living Authentically and Empowered
Valentine’s Day is Over, but Self Love is Still in
Valentine’s Day may be over, but Self Love is Still in
Valentine’s Day may be over, but the path to self-love is ongoing. This month, we’ve been unpacking deep-rooted cultural and societal expectations, learning to break free from self-criticism, and embracing self-compassion. We’ve challenged the ingrained "good girl" tendencies that keep us from prioritizing our needs and began flipping negative self-talk into kindness. But this is just the beginning. In the coming weeks, we’ll continue this journey of self-acceptance and learn to love ourselves without needing external validation. Ready to catch up on the journey? There’s still time!
Good Girl No More. (Living for you When You’re Brown)
Good Girl No More: Living for You When You’re Brown
The pressure to be the "good girl" who prioritizes everyone else’s happiness over her own is a familiar battle, especially in South Asian families. This holiday season, as family interactions intensify, it’s important to remember that your worth is not tied to their approval. The never-ending race for acceptance can leave you feeling unfulfilled, but it’s time to break the cycle. Start living for yourself and prioritize your choices. You deserve to be seen, heard, and loved for who you are, not for who they want you to be. It’s time to stop seeking their approval and start creating the life that’s right for you.
