Why it's time to let go of the "good Indian child" identity & how you can start TODAY

Because, there’s just so much pressure to be, do, have and say it all….right?


I know I’m not speaking for myself when I say, we’ve all felt the pressure

Not sure how to get started?


Here are a few simple ways you can today:

  • Start to get clear on your boundaries 

  • Start questioning instead of blindly accepting

  • Start to say no

  • Ask for space 

  • Voice your opinions…

  • …even if that means disagreeing with someone 


A lot of the time it comes down to trusting ourselves.

If you’re just starting on this journey, then start SMALL.
