“Would you send your child to a playground without fences? Then why do we fear setting our own boundaries?”
At our Mother’s Day special Chalo Baatein Karen™ session, Dr. Seema Sehgal helped us unpack the guilt, fear, and cultural pressure that keep so many South Asian Moms from setting healthy boundaries. We were reminded that boundaries aren’t selfish, they’re essential.
