Coaching & Therapy

Still second-guessing every decision? That voice isn’t wisdom, it’s a recording made in childhood. A South Asian daughter on finding hers, and turning it down.

You can run a meeting, a team, a whole company and still turn six years old the moment your mum’s name lights up your phone. The bracing isn’t a flaw. It’s a nervous system that never felt safe, and the story of how the pattern can change even when your parent never does.
