#133 - Sunita Sah on Redefining Defiance
What if defiance wasn’t about rebellion—but about staying true to yourself when the pressure to comply is real?
In this episode, Dr. Sunita Sah challenges everything we’ve been taught about obedience and reframes defiance as a skill—one we can practice, refine, and use to show up with integrity.
This conversation will shift how you think about discomfort, doubt, and that gut feeling you’ve been trained to ignore.

#130 - Maybe, Maybe Not: Navigating Uncertainty & Appreciating Impermanence
Ever find yourself desperate to label a moment—good or bad, success or failure, right or wrong—just to feel a little more in control?
This episode will challenge that instinct.
We're unpacking one of the most powerful mindset shifts I’ve ever come across—rooted in ancient wisdom, backed by modern psychology, and grounded in something we all face: uncertainty.
You’ll hear how a simple phrase—“Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see.”—can rewire your response to the unknown, help you ride the waves of change with more peace, and keep you anchored when life feels like a lot.
We’re also diving into a surprisingly effective gratitude boost (hint: it’s not a list) and a 3-step reflection to help you find clarity when the future feels foggy.
This isn’t about toxic positivity.
It’s about perspective, presence, and progress—even when the path ahead isn’t clear.
Let’s stop labeling and start living.
Because maybe… just maybe… this moment is leading somewhere beautiful.

#124 - We’re Not Supposed to Be [_____________] All the Time!
Somewhere along the way, we got the idea that we’re supposed to be happy all the time. Motivated all the time. Productive all the time. But here’s the thing—chasing those “always” expectations? It’s a one-way ticket to burnout and feeling like we’re never enough.
In this episode, we’re flipping the script. Because emotions, energy, and focus naturally ebb and flow—and fighting that only makes life harder. I’ll break down why embracing the full spectrum of the human experience (yes, even the messy parts) is the key to actually thriving.
