    To me, “having it all” does not turn out to be what the world traditionally makes it out to be. It’s not about a million dollars in the bank, an enormous house with gleaming marble floors, or shiny luxury vehicles parked in a row. It’s not about fame, power, or the type of achievement that’s…

    We grow up in a world that teaches us how to love others, how to serve, adjust, please, and sacrifice, especially within Indian families, where selflessness is considered sacred and obedience is often mistaken for love. From an early age, we’re told that our lives are extensions of our parents’ dreams. We learn to prioritize…
