ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
In Conversation with Sonalee Joshi, PhD
We often think therapy is for when life falls apart—but what about when everything seems fine?
In this episode, we sit down with a South Asian therapist, Sonalee Joshi, to explore why so many high-functioning millenials are turning to therapy even while managing successful careers, parenting, and full lives. We talk about the invisible mental load, emotional triggers in parenting, relationship dynamics, and the everyday moments we brush off—but may actually need to unpack.
We also get personal about our own experiences with therapy—including resistance at first, unexpected realizations about childhood and family dynamics, and how therapy ultimately becomes a tool for growth rather than “fixing something broken.”
Plus, we dive into practical takeaways you can actually use in your daily life, including simple frameworks to help categorize stress, reduce overthinking, and respond—not react—to everyday situations.
This episode is light, honest, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever thought:
“I’m fine… but why does everything still feel like a lot?”
If you’re a millennial, a parent, or just someone trying to hold it all together—this one’s for you.
