On finding acceptance with Raksha Daryanani
Hosted by MyndStories|November 12, 2024

Have you felt like an outsider even when you're surrounded by family?

In this candid and engrossing conversation, Raksha Daryanani speaks to Smitha about her unique life journey – growing up in a multicultural society, navigating the impact of her parents' divorce, and healing from devastating relationships. She shares the challenges she faced in navigating a tight-knit but isolated Indian community, where she often felt like an outsider, and how she learnt to set boundaries and develop self-awareness.

Raksha's journey so far is nothing less than inspiring. Listen in for her insights on how to overcome some of life's toughest challenges.


We discuss

  • Dealing with a multicultural society  
  • Managing toxic and manipulative relationships  
  • How therapy turned out to be a turning point 
  • Demonstrating resilience in coping with her parents' divorce 
  • Finding a stronger sense of belonging and acceptance
  • Emphasizing the importance of embracing impermanence
