In her conversation with Jason, Hardy explains that her life aim is to pursue peace, calm, and emotional balance—something she only began valuing deeply about four years ago when her marriage began to fall apart. She describes how her relationship slowly shifted from partnership to inequality: growing pressure to conform, carrying most of the household and childcare load, losing her independence, and constantly feeling unseen as her husband became increasingly ego-driven and focused on his own success.

Much of her stress also came from cultural expectations and a difficult mother-in-law situation, where she felt she had to stay agreeable and compliant to keep the peace. Eventually she realized she was living in a system where she had no voice, no partnership, and no space to be herself. Leaving the marriage was painful but necessary, and it marked the beginning of her rebuilding—through counseling, supportive friends, and rediscovering her independence.

Spiritually, Hardy says Sikhism never gave her answers or understanding—only pressure to follow rules without explanation. After stepping away from it years earlier, she gradually encountered Christianity, which offered a space to ask questions, explore truth, and actually understand what she believes. Through Alpha, Village Church, and conversations with friends, she began to feel grounded, hopeful, and connected to something meaningful. She’s now learning, slowly and steadily, to trust her own voice, rebuild her inner peace, and root her life in faith that feels real and comprehensible.
