This week on The Bánh Mì Chronicles, host Randy Kim sits down with the incredible Nisha Mody (she/her)—a certified Liberatory Life Coach, Facilitator, and Writer—for a profound conversation about self-compassion, unlearning harmful beliefs, and showing up authentically in relationships.

Nisha, who is currently writing a memoir about her divorce, shares the raw, deeply personal story of her toxic marriage to an Indian man that ended a decade ago. She transparently discusses the immense work required to unlearn the practices and beliefs she internalized that ultimately caused her harm.

• The complex journey of grief and healing, particularly navigating the immense loss of her father around the time of her divorce.

• How Nisha had to redefine her self-worth after leaving a toxic dynamic, and her philosophy of self-improvement without shame.

• The essential conversation about navigating and understanding whiteness in her current partnership and how her white partner actively honors her values and centers her growth.

• Nisha’s core belief that centering growth, relationship, and liberation is the path toward meaningful personal and societal transformation.

Nisha’s background spans consulting, recruiting, and librarianship, and she brings all of that accumulated wisdom to her coaching and writing, encouraging us all to stop shrinking ourselves and step into our full power.

Listen in for a conversation that is as vulnerable as it is liberating.
