Manage episode 451673095 series 3591064
In this heartfelt episode of Global Desi Women, we dive into the challenges and joys of supporting our senior parents as they return to their home country. 🌏💛
I’m your host, Arti Solanki - Business Coach / Real Estate Broker, joined by two incredible co-hosts:
🌟 Bhawna Luthra – a licensed marriage and family therapist, bringing her expertise on family dynamics and emotional well-being.
🌟 Dr. Deepika Gorji – a PhD in Chemistry, Product Manager in IT, TEDx speaker, and an author in the making.
Dr. Deepika shares her personal journey of taking care of her parents who live back home. With all the advantages and disadvantages of caregiving from afar, she opens up about the realities of balancing roles, staying connected, and ensuring her parents feel supported.
🗣️ “Hello everyone, I’m Deepika! I live in Houston and believe in loving life to the fullest—every day! I wear many hats, but being a mom and daughter is my favorite role. I also love road trips, meeting new people, and discovering new places. I’ve spoken at TEDx and am writing a book. I’m excited to share my caregiving experiences with you today!”
Together, we discuss:
- How cultural values shape our caregiving approach.
- The emotional and logistical challenges of supporting parents from a distance.
- Practical tips for staying connected and ensuring their well-being.
✨ A big thank you to my incredible co-hosts, Bhawna Luthra and Dr. Deepika Gorji, for sharing their wisdom, stories, and heartfelt experiences. Your insights have truly made this conversation richer and more meaningful. 🌟
