VoyageLA Interview
Today we’d like to introduce you to Priya Tahim:
Priya, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Growing up as a South Asian woman in a predominantly “white” area was hard. I looked different, I was battling trying to fit in while staying true to my cultural roots. I think trying so hard to navigate both cultures created anxiety for me.
How To Help Your Significant Other Through A Quarter-Life Crisis, According To A Therapist
Therapist Priya Tahim often sees couples in which one partner is struggling to figure out what they want from life. If you're in that situation, Tahim says, "The best way to comfort your partner is listening. Active listening is extremely important." As someone's romantic partner, your ability to use active listening will not only ensure their needs are met but will ensure yours are, too.

"There is no rulebook for relationships. I believe that when you meet a person and find yourself connected — not only physically, but emotionally — there is no reason to second-guess that feeling." Whether you take a relationship slowly or leap in should be on your own instincts and feelings. At the end of the day, only you are in charge of how much you let someone in, Tahim says.
