Little Fixes- Women's Mental Health & Personal Growth

How to Reclaim Yourself after Trauma ft. Author and Mindfulness Expert Puja Shah

Maitri Verma Episode 193

Today’s episode is going to hit deep. We're diving into a gripping, emotional, and ultimately empowering story about sisterhood, survival, and reclaiming your voice. My guest is Puja Shah, author of the powerful novel- For My Sister. The book is about twin sisters Amla and Asya who go from living in a small village to moving to Mumbai to being sold in flesh trade.

Their lives spiral into pain, loss, and isolation... but somehow, they survive. Separately. And against all odds, they reunite years later.

This isn’t just a story about human trafficking—it’s about what it takes to live again after trauma, the complicated but unbreakable bond between sisters, and how women, even in the harshest conditions, find ways to rise.

If you're a woman who’s ever felt silenced, stuck, or unsure of your own strength—this conversation is for you. We'll talk about emotional survival, the mental health impact of trauma, the guilt women often carry, and what healing can really look like.

You can help me bring more such conversations to you by following the podcast and by rating and reviewing us. I am grateful to you.
