"I'm not striking a deal with my friends, but I think I am," Ruchita Raicha admits with a laugh. And she means it—literally. From drawing up contracts with her sister about who opens the door for the household help, to seeing her parents as "Alka and Harish in their 50s living their lives," Ruchita has rebuilt every major relationship in her life with radical honesty and intentionality.
In this conversation, we explore what happens when you move from a conventional 80-person joint family to choosing your own family. Ruchita shares her journey from childhood people-pleasing to adult boundary-setting, the moment she started showing anger to her mother (and why it changed everything), and why she's "incapable of small talk".
This is a conversation about the safety of true friendship, the courage it takes to see your parents as flawed humans, and why sometimes protecting someone means refusing to protect them. Raw, funny, and deeply moving.
