What does it take to walk away from cultural expectations and finally choose yourself? In this raw and empowering episode of Love-ly, host Mehak sits down with TikTok creator and confidence coach Shazmeera Qadri. From growing up in a Pakistani immigrant household to navigating a toxic marriage and reclaiming her independence, Shazmeera shares how she rebuilt her life with courage and self-respect. She unpacks the guilt immigrant daughters carry, why decentering family opinions isn’t disrespect—it’s self-respect—and the power of surrounding yourself with confident women.
If you’ve ever questioned whether you can rewrite your story, this conversation will show you that you can.
