Sonya's life completely changed when both of her parent became unable to care for themselves in a matter of months. She tells us about her journey and the realities of being a caregiver. As we are getting older, this is a reality we will inevitably face. We talk about how caregiving is viewed in the South Asian community and also the stigma there is around illness in the first place.

In today's episode we sit down with none other than Monika Deol. She is a true trailblazer in the media world and learning about her story is simply inspiring.

Join me as we hear Monika's story and how she became my favourite television personality of the 80's and 90's.
