What happens when you finally stop running from your feelings?

In this powerful and moving conversation, Sukhvinder (“Suky”) Grewal opens up about his journey from emotional disconnection to self-awareness — and how becoming a counsellor helped him heal himself first.

After 15 years in the civil service, a single counselling course changed the direction of his life. Today, he’s a qualified therapist, clinical supervisor, couples counsellor, and author of The Bus Driver’s Son, a novel inspired by the quiet strength of his Punjabi upbringing and the universal search for meaning.

🎧 In this episode:

The day he realised he’d never been taught how to feel
What counselling really does — and why it’s not weakness
Breaking cultural silence around emotions and mental health
How The Bus Driver’s Son became a story of reflection and healing
The difference between listening and truly hearing
What it means to show up for yourself and others

✨ A reminder that vulnerability is where real strength begins.
