EP.152 - Arunie Saldhi - "I'm Very Careful Now, To Not Breach My Own Boundaries"

We’ve all been in rooms where the energy doesn’t match the claim of being a safe space - overthinking, comparing, and surface-level talk are what tends to go down instead. I sat down with Arunie, Psychologist with PCHS Calgary and co-host of Brown Girl Problems, for a conversation that goes beyond surface-level chats. Arunie highlights the truth behind the pressure to turn trauma into currency, and what it takes to build connection and support beyond the surface. We explore what brown women are tired of carrying, what we’re quietly unlearning together, and how to show up for each other - listening deeply, celebrating honestly, and supporting without competing, comparing, or explaining ourselves. Arunie 's MFU is a CTA in how we are showing up as a community.
