In a world where divorce is still whispered about in many South Asian households, one woman is amplifying the conversation – and changing lives along the way.

‘Family Matters with Sarah’, hosted by leading family lawyer Sarah Khan-Bashir MBE (pictured above), is an award-winning podcast that shines a light on the real experiences of separation and divorce within South Asian families.

Now in its fourth year, the podcast has earned its place among the Top 10 Divorce Podcasts in the UK and was recently highlighted in Clio’s ‘5 Great Access to Justice Podcasts’ list.

At the heart of the show is Sarah Khan-Bashir, a solicitor with over 25-years legal experience and the founder of SKB Law – a respected firm with offices in Bradford, London, and Cardiff, known for combining legal excellence with deep cultural insight.

Recognised as ‘Lawyer of the Year’ by both the Yorkshire Legal Awards and Modern Law Awards, Sarah brings empathy, clarity, and practicality to every episode.

With a mission to inform and empower, each podcast features open, jargon-free conversations about issues many shy away from. Listeners gain insight not just into the legal side of separation, but also the emotional, cultural and social challenges that come with it.

Sarah sees her work as part of a wider mission: to support people beyond the courtroom and break down the cultural silence around divorce. Through the SKB Law Academy, she also mentors the next generation of lawyers, promoting inclusive and compassionate legal practice.

Sarah says: “Divorce doesn’t mean failure. It can mean freedom, safety, healing and growth. The more we talk, the more we understand, and the less people suffer in silence.”

A safe space for tough conversations: The podcast’s diverse topics range from navigating divorce and parental responsibilities to tackling taboo subjects like financial independence, abuse, and cultural stigma.

For anyone navigating difficult choices, seeking support, or simply wanting to understand more, this podcast is a must-listen.

Family Matters with Sarah is available on all major podcast platforms and continues to grow its loyal listener base across the UK and beyond.
