My guest, Shar Rai, grew up the daughter of East Indian immigrant parents and automatically took on the gender and cultural roles that were expected of her, which led to a lack of self-worth and low self-esteem. It wasn’t until she became a mother that she began to explore the impact of this societal conditioning and became aware that she had the power to break the cycle and change not only herself, but how she parents her own children. Shar candidly discusses the importance of giving children the permission to fully express their emotions, regardless of gender, and reminds us of the value of allowing our children to see our vulnerability, which then allows them the space to tap into their own.
