I woke up feeling extremely low-energy and triggered by recent events in my life. Talking to Payal changed the entire trajectory of my day. I felt seen, heard, and validated. It was reassuring to speak with someone from a similar cultural background who understands where I'm coming from. Thanks for giving me hope and helping me look at my triggers through a macroscopic lens, Payal!
