Growing up in an Indian family, Sahaj Kaur Kohli felt pressured to meet her parents' high expectations for a “good Sikh girl”. Despite being a top student in high school, she battled depression, struggled to keep up in college and dropped out. She eventually went on to become a therapist, mental health advice columnist for the Washington Post, and founder of Brown Girl Therapy, an online community. Through her work, she saw how her experiences mirrored those of many other children of immigrants who feel obligated to succeed, maintain cultural norms, and repay their parents' sacrifices. Kohli joins us to talk about her new book, “But What Will People Say?” that chronicles her journey and provides practical advice for navigating mental health. Guests: Sahaj Kohli, therapist; writer; speaker; and founder, Brown Girl Therapy; author of the book, "But What Will People Say? Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love, and Family Between Cultures."

As the daughter of immigrants, Sahaj Kaur Kohli grew up understanding what it means to straddle multiple cultures at once. She wrestled with questions like what it meant to forge one's path, establishing personal values while embracing one's origins; if prioritizing mental health meant a rejection of culture; how to set boundaries and engage in self-care when family and community are so important. Even after becoming a therapist herself, she saw those same gaps in the mental health world, leading her to wonder, like so many children of immigrants: what about us? Kohli's latest book, But What Will People Say? Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love, and Family Between Cultures, weaves together personal narratives with research. She offers advice and tools for everything from navigating generational trauma, guilt, and boundaries, to breaking down stigmas around therapy and celebrating cultural duality. While mental health is arguably less stigmatized than before, models can often be individualistic and Eurocentric. Kohli aims to both democratize and decolonize the way we think about mental health and self-help, shifting the paradigm, incorporating community building, and speaking to those who are left out of the dominant narratives. Sahaj Kaur Kohli, MaEd, LGPC, is the founder of Brown Girl Therapy (@BrownGirlTherapy), the first and largest mental health and wellness community organization for adult children of immigrants; a licensed therapist; and a columnist for the Washington Post's advice column Ask Sahaj. Sahaj's words and work have been featured in Today, Good Morning America, CNN, TED, The New York Times, HuffPost, and more. Sahaj also serves as a consultant, educator, and international speaker. She has sat on panels and delivered workshops and keynotes for nonprofits, higher education institutions, and the White House. This is her first book.​ Ruchika T. Malhotra is the best-selling author of Inclusion on Purpose: An Intersectional Approach to Creating a Culture of Belonging at Work. Ruchika is also the founder of Candour, an inclusion strategy practice. A former international business journalist, Ruchika is a regular contributor to The New York Times and Harvard Business Review and a recognized media expert on inclusive leadership and workplace culture. She is working on her next book, Uncompete: Dismantling a Competition Mindset to Unlock Liberation, Opportunity, and Peace.

Jsou levnější než maso a zvládl je připravit i nezkušený kuchař – boom smažených sýrů u nás vznikl v závodních jídelnách. Jak připomíná historik Martin Franc, národní pokrmy jsou konstrukt sloužící zájmům restauratérů. „Mně nijak nevadí, když se smažený sýr pokládá za český národní pokrm. Proč by nemohl být?“ míní historik, poukazuje však na „výhody“ jiných mastných jídel. Jaké vlivy se v průběhu staletí podepsaly na českém stravování?

Sukh Sahaj Anad Gana, ਸੂਖ ਸਹਜ ਆਨਦੁ ਘਣਾ (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Page 400 Sabad 1069)

Friedrich Nietzsche's famous line - “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” In today's episode, we'll be talking about improvisation in dance with Avantika Bahl. Avantika is a dance practitioner and educator based in Mumbai. As an artist, she works towards creating inclusive performances that can be accessed by a larger community. Over the past few years, her choreographic choices have brought diverse voices and experiences to the mainstream. She studied at the London Contemporary Dance School and completed the Curriculum-in-Motion program offered by Jacobs Pillow. Avantika has a Masters degree in English Literature and completed her Level 3 certification in Indian Sign language.   Questions What according to you is improvisation? Where do we see it mostly happening? Is it seen in all creative endeavours? You have dabbled with silence, mundane chores, sometimes with just burst of sounds. What do you call your form of dance? Which category / genre does it belong? What does it mean to improvise in the context of dance? What guides improvisation for you - Body, Music, Theme, Story, Location or anything else? Traditionally dance (or most performing art forms) were considered to be performed effortlessly (Sahaj) and elegantly (simple). Does one need to know the rules to bend the rules? What does bending a rule mean? Improvisation? Your show “Say, What?” with a creative partner who is deaf. What is the extent of improvisation that a dancer can explore and still make it palatable? What the biggest challenge in experiments like these? You said, “We just have to be still and dance” - What do you mean? Tell us about your experience learning the Indian Sign language. How did it help? When and why do dancers improvise? When we fail or when we do something over and over again? Is it the boredom? Is it uncovering deeper layers as they keep performing or revisiting the movements? Is it that the medium falls short to express? Can improvisation be a starting point? Do smaller improvisations impulses land in changing the meta narrative? How does one come back to the main kathavastu / main narrative? May be you can explain in the context of “Look left, turn right”? What is the extent of improvisation when it comes to dance? Can you share any examples - names and artists who are doing and have done a lot in the past? What according to you is the future of dance and improvisation?   Reference reading https://www.avantikabahl.com https://www.instagram.com/avantikabahl/?hl=en https://prakritifoundation.com/artiseprofile/avantikabahl/ https://vimeo.com/user5724048 https://www.themovementartsco.com/blank-page https://narthaki.com/info/rev17/rev2058.html https://theideaslab.com/say-duet-celebrating-sounds-silence-movement/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merce_Cunningham https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2006/sep/16/dance https://sites.northwestern.edu/cageanddance/jcchoreo/ https://www.abt.org/people/john-cage/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cage https://studsterkel.wfmt.com/programs/merce-cunningham-and-john-cage-discuss-music-and-dance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohad_Naharin https://www.dansedanse.ca/en/ohad-naharin https://www.gagapeople.com/en/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/02/arts/dance/review-ohad-naharin-hora-batsheva.html https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-secret-history-of-the-israeli-choreographer-ohad-naharin

Those who know me know that as someone who has always been open about my mental health journey, starting conversations about mental health is crucial. That's why, when Mental Health Awareness Month arrived, I jumped at the opportunity to reshare a great conversation with you from the Immigrantly vault. In 2021, I interviewed the founder of Brown Girl Therapy, Sahaj Kohli.  Brown Girl Therapy began as a passion project, but it quickly grew into a worldwide community, providing a haven for those seeking a space to engage in discussions about mental health. In addition, Sahaj has a monthly mental health advice column at The Lily, a Washington Post publication, where she answers questions about identity and relations.
