Sonia's Space
Welcome To Sonia’s Space Podcast! My name is Sonia, a Pakistani-American from Austin, TX.
Being raised in two different cultures, I am slowly learning to navigate my way through this thing we call life and removing parts of the culture that do not serve me. I created this podcast series as your go-to destination for self-development & self-reflection. I’m here to fuel this journey with insightful & vulnerable conversations - no holding back!

Episode 16 - Things To Leave Behind In the Desi Culture
Growing up in a South Asian community, I know that our culture regardless of its beauty and traditions, unfortunately places a lot of pressure on people especially women to conform to social norms and expectations. This can be detrimental to our mental health and well being and we need to be better about setting a better representation in our community.
Tune in to hear me talk about aspects of our culture that I think we need to re-evaluate and let go of such as the stigma on mental health, divorce, and women to pursue their careers and aspirations.
