It was a meaningful discussion with on her talk show Roshini on about the mental health of immigrant women.
A heart-to-heart talk sharing my personal experiences and real-life stories. It was a heartfelt conversation about the struggles and experiences that many face. My hope is that this discussion inspires and empowers women to acknowledge and prioritize their mental health.

Maintaining good mental health is crucial for your overall well-being and quality of life.

It all starts by making self care priority then scheduling activities around what brings joy - not just once but regularly so it’s embedded into daily routine naturally .Engaging in self-care practices can aid in preserving your mental health, as well as improving your resilience.

Practicing self-care can effectively reduce stress, minimize the risk of illness, and boost your energy levels. Even small acts of self-care in your daily routine can have a substantial impact.
Check out some helpful tips below.

Sometimes it’s the smallest act that makes the biggest impact 🫶🫶
It is a reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s day or even their life. Let’s all take a moment to spread some positivity and be the light we want to see in the world.

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around”

Self-care is a personal journey, techniques that work for you might not work for others. When creating your own self-care toolkit, think of activities that resonate with you and then add as many of these ideas to a physical list.
We suggest to create intentional time and space in your day to care for yourself.
I am sharing few ideas with you ,feel free to use some of these as you craft your own self-care toolkit.
Take a good care of your self
Feel a little better every single day this year

This year I saw many colours. I embraced the different shades of me as a mother and as a woman. I saw the ugly face of humanity, I saw people suffering and suffering and the world staying silent.
I still chose to welcome 2024 with a grateful and hopeful heart. I hope we can change the face of humanity together. I hope I can continue advocating for and supporting women’s mental health including myself. I hope I as a mother can fulfill my responsibilities and stand up for my piece of heart.
Happy New Year to everyone!!
Peace and peace for everyone

Attending a makeup workshop led by a truly inspiring women from the Nepalese community and Sharmila Ranabhat was an unforgettable experience. Not only did we learn about skincare and beauty, but we were also reminded of the importance of self-care and self-compassion. I would like to extend my congratulations to Shamira and her team for organizing such a positive and empowering event.

I appreciate the initiative of a Christmas gift drive from Nepalese community. I’m happy that I could donate few new Christmas gifts from our platform to the gift drive that supports families, mothers, and children who cannot afford to buy new gifts this holiday season. It’s a time to come together and celebrate diversity in our city
