Listen Up with Sim & Isha

How do you explain anxiety to your parents when they call it “just stress”?

In this episode, Simran & Isha open up about what it’s like to deal with anxiety in Indian households, where mental health isn’t always recognized — or understood.

We talk about:
  • Our personal experiences with anxiety
  • The stigma around mental health in desi families
  • How to shift from blame to compassion
  • What helped us start healing
  • And why it’s you and your family vs the problem — not each other
Whether you’re struggling silently or just want to feel seen, this conversation will remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.
