Welcome back to Mindful Minds! This week we have the amazing Fatema Jivanjee-Shakir (she/her) on the podcast to talk about how South Asian Cultures impact one’s susceptibility to disordered eating and how it impact one’s mental health.


Fatema brings such nuance and gentleness to such a sensitive and multifaceted topic. I would highly recommend listening to her expertise in this episode.
