Wellbeing Redefined: South Asian Women on Holistic Health | Ep #30
Great watch for: aspiring entrepreneurs, wellness enthusiasts, mental health advocates, or anyone working to serve diverse communities.
Featuring South Asian women in business: Reeya, a holistic beauty advocate; Elka, a champion of holistic health; and Jaskaran, the founder of a multilingual mental health service – this conversation delves into holistic health, focusing on the integration of mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
We explore their personal journeys, the cultural influences shaping their work, and the unique challenges of educating and serving diverse communities. The conversation also highlights the challenges faced in accessing and delivering mental health services tailored to diverse cultural communities, discussing the need for education, strategic resource allocation, and the ongoing journey of personal self-care as they advocate for change in their communities.
