Another week in isolation, so another check in around the world. Today we are heading to the far north of India to check in with two lovely ladies in Punjab. My connection to today's guests is through Lakshita, who is a fellow member in the incredible group She Mentors who moved to Australia from India in February. What a crazy time to move overseas...
