Hi, I’m Stephanie — a South Asian woman, born Tamil, raised in Germany, and now based in the UK. After heartbreak, healing, and surviving abuse, I created this podcast to share the real, messy, and powerful moments that shape us — the before and after. From relationships and self-worth to mental health and growth, this is a space for honest stories and raw conversations. You’re not alone in your journey. Let’s talk about the moments that change everything.
