    Sonora Jha on female desire, reclaiming agency, and solitude for self-discovery | eShe Book Club

    Female desire doesn't diminish with age but is often suppressed by societal expectations. Making unconventional choices publicly can be an act of defiance against patriarchal norms. These were some of the topics that came up during eShe’s inaugural Book Club discussion featuring award-winning author Sonora Jha’s new novel Intemperance.The discussion, moderated by Aekta Kapoor, founder and chief editor of eShe, brought together readers from across time zones to explore themes of female desire, ageing, self-love, disability, and challenging societal norms. The discussion brought up how Brahminical patriarchy intersects with disability, caste and gender, and the value of messiness and complexity in women's narratives.Important questions were raised: what happens when women refuse to age into invisibility? Is there any prerequisite to enjoying desire or sensual pleasure? What if women were the main characters in their own stories and refused to follow someone else’s script?Watch the full discussion or head over to eshe.in for the report.

    Prerora Roy on transforming self-limiting beliefs by reframing the narrative

    In the latest episode of eShe TV, we feature transformation coach and entrepreneur Prerona Roy, whose own life serves as the greatest testament to the power of overcoming self-limiting beliefs.Roy sustained 82 percent burns in a tragic kitchen fire accident in her early 20s. Yet – despite the pain, disability and devastation that followed – she rose like a phoenix and completely changed the trajectory of her life through determination and will. From being a small-town girl in Bengal, she grew into a super achiever in a US-based multinational, and then gave up the corporate life to launch herself independently as a life coach and business coach. Today she runs three enterprises. eShe chief editor Aekta Kapoor asked her about how to change our self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from achieving your goals and realising our potential. These deeply ingrained thought patterns, often born from past experiences or fear, can create invisible boundaries and prevent growth.
