The Aditi Govitrikar Show

Society & Culture


In this episode of The Aditi Govitrikar Show, Lisa Ray opens up about becoming famous at a very young age, being labelled by the world before she had discovered who she truly was, and the emotional cost of being seen only through image, beauty and success.

This conversation covers her battle with multiple myeloma, the fear and strength that came with a cancer diagnosis, her changing relationship with food and healing, and why cancer became the moment that forced her to stop, reflect and rebuild her life from within.

 It also reflects Lisa Ray’s experience with chemo-induced menopause, the silence around women’s hormonal health, motherhood through surrogacy, meditation, Tibetan Buddhism, body image, perfectionism, shame, vulnerability and the power of community.

Watch till the end for a deep conversation on survival, womanhood, midlife, self-acceptance and the freedom that comes from no longer hiding your truth.
