Mona, Minali and Ishana open their hearts to explore the complex emotions and life-changing lessons that come with leaving home. From Mona’s courageous leap across continents at 21 to Minali’s and Ishana’s personal journeys through college, careers, and independence, this conversation unpacks the raw truth of distance, growth, loneliness, and love. With stories full of laughter, tears, and wisdom, they reflect on what it really means to build a life away from the familiar, and how “home” is less about geography and more about connection, memory, and the people we carry with us.
