No Mud, No Lotus with Nupur Patel

Episode 13- Divorce, Healing & Boundaries: The Importance of Walking Away

Nupur Patel

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of No Mud No Lotus, we sit down with Nisha Mody to talk about one of the most taboo topics in South Asian communities — divorce.

Nisha shares her personal journey of walking away from a marriage that no longer served her, and how choosing herself became an act of liberation rather than shame. Together, we unpack the cultural conditioning that keeps so many South Asian women silent in the face of pain — the fear of judgment, the pressure to “make it work,” and the myths that surround what a “good woman” should endure.

This conversation is for every woman who has ever questioned her worth, her choices, or her right to peace. It’s an invitation to see divorce not as failure, but as a courageous step toward self-respect and healing.
