S3 Ep6 Episode Shownotes:
“Make a list of the good versus the bad. [You] will realize that the mind tends to gravitate towards the bad, but the list of good is always longer.” —Varuni Sinha
The H-4 visa— the bane of many immigrant spouses' existence. Imagine being highly skilled, educated, and eager to work, only to be trapped in a legal limbo, unable to contribute your talents.
The H-4 visa stripped Varuni Sinha of her independence and sense of self, plunging her into a deep depression. She went from being a vibrant, driven woman to one who struggled to even leave her apartment. Now, she's using her powerful storytelling abilities to share her own journey as an immigrant spouse.
Prepare to be inspired, uplifted, and maybe even shed a tear or two in this week’s heartfelt conversation. Varuni's story of resilience, self-discovery, and finding her voice in the face of adversity is a must-listen for anyone seeking a dose of empowerment.
