You've Spent Years Putting Everyone Else First

You’re sacrificing your own needs to keep the peace. But deep down, you know something needs to change.

The pressure to always say yes, the guilt when you even think about saying no, the exhaustion of being everything to everyone—it’s draining, and it’s time to reclaim your peace.

Introducing Balanced Boundaries

A self-paced, 4-module course designed for South Asians navigating cultural expectations, family obligations, and the struggle of putting themselves first.


Why You Need This Now

🚨 Your mental health depends on it. Burnout, stress, and resentment build when we keep saying yes out of guilt.


🚨 You can’t wait for others to change. If you keep waiting for people to respect your boundaries, you’ll be waiting forever. The change starts with you.


🚨 The longer you wait, the harder it gets. Every time you push your own needs aside, you reinforce the habit of people-pleasing. The best time to take action is now.

Why This Course?

  • Tailored for South Asians – Because boundaries look different in our communities. You’ll learn how to set limits without damaging relationships or feeling like a ‘bad’ son, daughter, or sibling.

  • Step-by-Step Strategies – No fluff. Just actionable techniques that help you say no without guilt and reinforce your boundaries with confidence.

  • Lifetime Access – Revisit the lessons anytime you need a refresher. Boundaries are a muscle, and this course will help you strengthen yours over time.

  • Proven Methods – Developed by a South Asian therapist, backed by research, and designed for real-life application.

Who you're learning from

Hi! I'm Hardeep Ajmani and I am the founder of Balanced Self Academy. I have been a Registered Social Worker since 2004 and since then have supported people coping with a multitude of struggles, mainly anxiety and depression.

In my private practice started in 2022, I have had the pleasure of helping many South Asian clients live a life on their own terms.

My professional expertise in mental health coupled with my lived experience as a Punjabi woman living in Canada bodes extremely well for the creation of culturally relevant content directly suited to the desi community.

It is my humble hope that Balanced Self Academy can offer accessible information that brings our perspectives, difficulties, values and beauty to light.

FAQ

  • Does this course replace therapy?

    Absolutely not. Psychotherapy offers a therapeutic relationship and individualized support. This course offers general strategies and psycho-education and is unable to replace therapy. Pass this on to someone not quite ready for therapy, but deserves mental health care.

  • Who is this course best suited for?

    This course is designed for people who feel like they just can't do enough; are overwhelmed with obligations and are noticing some resentment starting to build. It is designed for South Asian Children of Immigrants as it speaks to the struggles between collectivist and individualistic cultures.

  • Who is this course not suited for?

    This course is not suited for those where setting a boundary would result in physical violence or danger in the home. This requires targeted intervention with a therapist.

  • Can I offer feedback or ask questions about the course?

    Absolutely. I would be happy to answer questions. Please email me at [email protected].
