The Gay Podcast for Everyone

18. LGBTQ+ therapist, speaker, and mindset coach, Bhavna Raithatha

April 01, 2023 Season 2 Episode 18

Bhavna Raithatha is a therapist, a public speaker, and a personal coach.

This episode discusses how the messages we get as children affect us in our adult lives. Many times, we live out the expectations of others rather than ourselves, and Bhavna reminds us of the importance of designing a life of your own.

Bhavna came out later in life, after a long marriage to her husband. After coming out to him, as well as coming out to her mother, she began to cultivate the life that she wanted.  Bhavna's story highlights the fact that it's never too late to live your truth.
