Desri Decodes is a weekly newsletter for women who are trying to live soft lives in hard situations.
We talk about the good stuff, love, healing, community and the messy stuff, guilt, cultural expectations, long-distance everything, and why everyone thinks you should have been married by now.
Each week, I take one big, emotional, or awkward life thing… and decode it. Whether it’s a post-breakup spiral, in-law drama, or the weird loneliness of immigration, you’ll find honesty, heart, and the occasional meme-worthy observation.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between two cultures (and three WhatsApp groups), this is for you.
