Niki Patel: Building Boundaries While Living with Your In-Laws

Flora Sinha

Hi Beyond Listeners! I recently sat down with Niki Patel from Home Shanti for a deep dive into the importance of setting boundaries in our family relationships, especially within a cultural context like South Asian families. Niki shared her personal journey, from her first big boundary at 17 over a secret relationship, to navigating in-laws and creating a supportive home environment.

We explored how communication and self-advocacy are key to healthy family dynamics, especially when dealing with the mental load and preventing burnout. This episode emphasizes emotional health, self-care, and even technology boundaries (like creating tech-free zones!) to enhance productivity and foster genuine family connections. You'll hear practical tips, including the importance of prioritizing family time and being self-aware to reinforce your limits. It's all about personal growth and maintaining healthy relationships without burning out!

It's time to end the burnout cycle and start prioritizing YOU. Head over to Everae's website and book a FREE Discovery Call today!
