How to Redefine Success, Acknowledge Your Value, and Heal in an Immigrant Community with Nisha Mody

Navigating Culture | Sharing The Stories of Bold, Brave & Badass Immigrant Women Creating their Dream Life

Nisha Mody is not an immigrant, but she grew up surrounded by these brave souls. Her parents immigrated from India to the USA, which taught Nisha from a very young age to internalize the belief of working hard and earning your place by any means necessary.

Like many immigrants and children of immigrant parents, Nisha remembers vividly the lectures from both her parents about working one’s finger to the bone in order to make it in this capitalistic society. This is a common mantra held amongst immigrants who justify leaving behind everything they knew in order to survive in a new country.

Today, Nisha, a librarian turned coach, uses her lived experiences to help people of color heal their intergenerational trauma, while guiding them through that anxiety and other mental health concerns.

If you want to learn how to love yourself, in spite of all the ways you feel undeserving, and if you want to discover how to start healing yourself now in a world that tells you don't deserve peace, then I invite you to sink into this episode. Tune in as Nisha reminds immigrants and people from immigrant communities of one common truth: that you are inherently worthy, no matter what society says about you.

The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:

1. Redefining your success comes from understanding that you are worthy, despite what society says about you.
2. Recognizing that your valuable enough to seek out healing
3. The importance of having a community of people who can support us
