Bridging South Asian Mental Health, Spirituality, and Self-Care: An Inspiring Conversation with Janani

Have you ever considered the profound impact of a secure marriage on a person's life? If not, it's time to listen in on our conversation with our guest, Janani, as she traverses the poignant topics of mental health, spirituality and the strength of lifelong learning. Janani's enlightening journey and insights, sparked by her mother's thought-provoking question about the greatest gift we can pass onto our children, will surely inspire you to embrace your authentic self.

As we turn the page to the second chapter of this episode, we unpack the personal journey of Janani. After graduating from college, she found herself grappling with depression and a challenging relationship, experiences that spurred her to create 'The Indian Standard', a mental health-focused magazine for South Asians. The magazine shines a light on South Asians as a  community and their shared experiences and helping to bridge the gap between their cultural emphasis on education and arts, and the mental health struggles that often go unspoken.

 Janani shares her belief in the importance of self-care, especially amidst a mental health epidemic. She beautifully conveys that learning is ageless and encourages everyone to carve out a corner for self-love. Our conversation goes on to underscore the magazine's message of duty and self-discovery, a universal mantra applicable to all, irrespective of cultural boundaries. It's a reminder to all of us that positivity and inspiration, much like our journey with Janani can light up the darkest paths. So, sit back, tune in, and let's ignite that spark together.=
