At just 16 years old, Sukhvinder Kaur thought she was going to the library the next day with her friends.
Instead, she came home from school to find her family preparing for her wedding.

In this powerful episode of Founder in the Chair, Sukhvinder opens up about:

• Growing up in a traditional South Asian household in the 1980s
• Being forced into marriage at a young age
• Surviving domestic abuse and the emotional toll of loneliness
• Breaking cultural taboos by speaking out
• How she turned 10 years of personal research into a self-help book
• Why she put her personal contact details in that book to help strangers

Now a qualified counsellor, author, and award-winning volunteer, Sukhvinder dedicates her life to helping others manage their emotions, build self-awareness, and overcome isolation.

💛 All proceeds from her book go to mental health charities.

What happens when you hit burnout and realise you’ve been living on autopilot?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Mandeep Bains — financial advisor, father, and truth-seeker — to talk about the moment he lost himself… and how he found purpose again. We explore masculinity, identity, faith, and what it really takes to leave a legacy that lasts.

💬 From the personal to the practical, Mandeep also breaks down how to protect your wealth, reduce tax, and make sure what you’ve built goes to your loved ones — not the government.

This one is raw, real, and full of insight. Listen now.
