S3 E3: Perceptions of Divorce
Show Notes

In this episode Shabnum talks to Sabrina Lakhani and Malini Ramakumar Bartels. Sabrina is a behavioral scientist who specializes in helping people learn how best to navigate their own attachment styles in relationships. Having gone through a divorce herself, Sabrina shares the common pitfalls that South Asians may fall into due to cultural expectations and the marriages they would have observed of their own parents growing up. Malini is a 46 year old mother of two who shares more about her own journey growing up as a Gen X South Asian in the 80s and the experiences she's had with friends and family in the wake of her divorce. Both women have many insights to share about how and why divorces are more common than ever before, how they've learned from their own experiences, and why we may not have been able to recruit any men to speak on this episode. This was a fascinating episode of both science and anecdotes, and a definite must listen whether you're in a relationship or not!
