Detach Your Self Worth From Productivity, with Roshni Patel

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 02:00:00 -0600

Have you ever let your feelings about your worthiness depend on how much you got done? This week, we're joined by Roshni Patel, a self-worth coach and content creator with a background in Psychology and Education. Roshni is passionate about anti-oppression work through building self-worth in her clients and audience.

She is Gujrati, was born in Kenya, and migrated to the U.S. at the age of 5. As a third-culture kid, she explores the dissonance between growing up in America, experiencing life as an immigrant, and navigating what it means to be a part of communities that don't always claim you.

Roshni centers her work around the belief that we are intrinsically enough. She believes that we do not have to prove, achieve, or earn our worth, despite what we're told by our patriarchal, heteronormative, transphobic, racist, and capitalist society. She's committed to showing her clients and audience how to strip back the conditioning and limiting beliefs, focus on their purpose, and believe in themselves enough to follow through.

In this episode we discuss:

Why and how to incorporate affirmations for self worth
The importance of rest
Knowing how to recognize and navigate burnout
Understanding scarcity mindset vs abundance mindset
Where limiting beliefs come from and how to overcome them
How tarot card readings can play a role in self worth coaching

Today's guest is Harpreet M. Dayal. She is an artist, author and community builder whose work I came across on Instagram and continue to be inspired by.

Her own journey began with the writing of a children's book called Wilbert the Worm and continues to evolve. In this interview Harpreet shares:

Her journey to pursuing creative work professionally

How to tap into self confidence, and more.

Ancestral Healing, Shadow Work & Energy Healing with Farah Siddiq

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Today we're talking with Farah Siddiq, an Afghan American cross disciplined reiki master who specializes in healing all forms of trauma. A master in Usui and Angelic Reiki, she created her own form of reiki called Cosmic Reiki where she combines both energy medicine & astrology.

Farah merges the worlds of psychology, astrology and energy medicine. Her own journey was to be alchemized and turned into healing medicine for this world, and she created The Alchemist Circle Workshops to create sacred spaces based on a combination of ancient Afghan mysticism aligned with the Socratic method of teaching.

She also co-founded: an app called @iascendapp - a space for transformative wellness which is raising an Angel funding round currently and @beydarsho which is the revival of Central Asian spirituality, healing arts and creativity.

In this episode, we talk about...

Ancestral healing
shadow work
collective world shadow and individual shadow + links between them
energy healing / reiki
WOC in the wellness / tech space

Farah says:
The intention of my page and work has always been two words:

Alchemy and Activation.

It is in everything I do.

It is everything I am.

My goal is to help activate and alchemize as many of you as possible so you can align with your soul’s purpose. To live a life in alignment with your heart and thrive.

3 Ways to Shed Society's Timeline & Reclaim Your Youth

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 02:00:00 -0500

We've all been there -- whether it's feeling pressure from family to get married and have kids by a certain age, or wondering when you'll have your dream career. Society's timeline expects us to hit certain milestones by certain ages and those of us who don't? Well, we're often left feeling old and like failures. How is it that at 31 I sometimes feel like I'm past my prime and will live the rest of my life out as an old maid? It's because we tend to use society's timeline for context.

There's another way.

In this episode, inspired by conversations with listeners (thanks for sliding into my DMs!) I'm offering you 3 ways to break free. It's never too late to start living life on your terms.

Is fear getting in the way of your dreams? Do you want to put yourself out there some way but fear keeps stopping you in your tracks? Maybe you want to start or leave a relationship, launch a business, change career paths or move across the world but fear is weighing you down.

Let's be honest, the fear isn't going anywhere. You can either give up on what you want or 'feel the fear and do it anyway' to get to the other side. Easier said than done! In this episode I reveal what it actually feels like to 'feel the fear and do it anyway' so you know exactly what to expect.

Hey, I can't conquer your fear for you. But I can make the process a little less uncertain and reassure you that you're not alone in it.

Love on Your Terms: Interracial Dating with Disha Mistry Mazepa

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 04:00:00 -0500

In our very first interview, we talk with Disha Mistry Mazepa of the But What Will People Say podcast about self confidence, living and loving our lives on our own terms and the role that financial independence plays in being able to do so.

Disha's podcast started as one about interracial, interfaith and intercultural marriage / relationships. Over time, it has expaneded to include discussions about other topics that fall under the "log kya kahenge" mentality such as LGBTQ relationships, divorce, mental health, sexual assault, skin care, nutrition, disabilities, and more. Her own personal story is the inspiration for her podcast, as her relationship with her husband was kept a secret for years from her family out of fear of being disowned and the downright negative reactions she expected to receive from the SA community, especially her parents. She hopes that by sharing not just her story, but the stories of other men and women who have chosen to date outside of their own cultures, she will help provide a sense of hope and empowerment for those listening and also a chance for her guests to feel heard.

Disha's confidence and conviction to live her life on her terms and inspire others to do the same is inspiring. Tune in for a great interview!

Have questions about interracial relationships? Be sure to check out Disha's podcast. You can also connect with her on Instagram!

How to Hack 'Log Kya Kahenge' to Make it Work in Your Favor

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 04:00:00 -0500

Log kya kahenge? Meaning, 'what will people say?' is the most burdensome question many of us grew up with. For many of us, we watched as our families made - and expected us to make - important life decisions based on log kya kahenge? It's maddening, irrational and unhealthy. But it's also likely engrained in you now as it is in me. While it can be tough to shrug it off once it's so deeply wired within us, we can leverage reframing to make the instinctive jump to 'log kya kahenge' work for us. Learn how in this BONUS episode!

Please note, this audio comes from a video I originally created on this topic and shared to IGTV (are you following me on Instagram yet? @theselfworthedit). So, sound quality may not be as pristine as usual. I promise, the message is worth it.

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever considered individual counseling? South Asian mental health is often a taboo topic, and we tend to have a lot of misconceptions about therapy in our communities as a result. In this episode we dispel the following misconceptions:

Only those who are sick or ill seek out therapy, it's a 'first world' act
You should be able to talk to your friends/family instead of a therapist
Therapy doesn't work (plus, a bit about discussing therapy with your family)
A therapist will judge you
Therapy is expensive

I also share several resources, including for affordable / virtual therapy:

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 05:00:00 -0500

We are meant to tune into and listen to our emotions, they're present to guide us. Yet, so often for us South Asian women guilt has been mis-wired. We're taught that feeling guilty for self care and prioritization of our own needs is what is healthy and respectful. In reality, this self sacrifice does more harm than good both on the individual and community levels.

In this episode, I offer 3 techniques for side stepping toxic guilt you may face when making big life decisions. These include:

What it means + how to take real responsibility of self
How to leverage 'future self' thinking to benefit yourself and your loved ones long term
