Mona, Ishana, and Minali open up about their personal journeys with therapy, breaking generational taboos and redefining what mental health support means across time. From college anxiety and professional burnout to pregnancy fears and self-discovery, they explore how therapy can be both transformative and grounding. Together, they discuss cultural stigmas, the evolution of emotional openness, and the many forms therapy can take, formal or not. Through laughter, vulnerability, and love, they remind us that seeking help isn’t weakness, it’s growth, courage, and self-care in action.
