MY WHY
Hello! I'm Noopura.
In 2022, I found the strength to navigate through a challenging divorce after spending 2.5 years in an unhealthy marriage that left me profoundly unhappy. Although I wished I could have left sooner, the pervasive shame and stigma surrounding divorce in the South Asian community held me back. It took a considerable amount of learning, healing, personal growth, and self-trust to gather the courage to initiate and ultimately go through with the divorce.
Fast forward to today, a year post-divorce, and I can genuinely say I'm in a much better place. I've regained confidence in my decisions and developed a profound trust in my ability to confront adversity and still find solid ground.
Now, I'm ready to share my journey and kickstart a conversation about separation and divorce within the South Asian community. Going through this experience felt incredibly lonely and isolating for me, and I want to change that narrative for others who might be on a similar path. Through this podcast, I aim to create a space where you can discover a sense of connection and solidarity. I hope that the stories on this podcast resonate with you and that together, we can foster understanding, support, and empowerment in navigating the complexities of divorce in our community.
Welcome to this journey of shared experiences and transformative conversations.
