  • Woman on Woman HATE

    Ever watch MEAN GIRLS??

    We usually focus on the system, culture and men creating an unhealthy environment for women but what about other women??

    Hate within our own fender is more harmful that from outside. We all do it but don't always realize it.

    Let's find out what this looks like and it's effects.

  • Ask for what you want

    ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT-

    Do you wait for others to give you what you want or do you ask? Why or why not? Have you ever asked someone else what they need?

    Creating a shift in the way you communicate with others can really change the relationship.

    Women and especially WOC tend to stay quiet and wait because that's all they know.

    Have you ever wondered what it would look like if you were proactive?

    Let's find out!

  • Diffusing a Difficult Situation

    Diffusing a Difficult Situation- Many times our initial reaction may be anger, self blame, fear or staying quiet at your cost. I encountered a situation and I surprised myself with my own reaction. Old me would have played the scene in my head hundreds of times. Not any more!

    What would you have done?

  • Bragging is Broadcasting

    Bragging is looked down upon by society especially when it comes to women. It's a way to keep you small. If you were a middle aged white man, we wouldn't be having this conversation. In this episode I talk about my own conditioning and journey with self -love and share about initiating brag month on my social media despite it feeling uncomfortable.

  • Intentions

    INTENTIONS- I don't believe in resolutions. They don't work. We can decide everyday... every minute to make a choice or decision that will change our trajectory. It is a super power we all carry inside of us. Many of us just don't know how to unleash it without doubt, guilt, and shame. What intentions would you link to create for you?

    Listen to how I reflect, retell, and celebrate the past, while staying present in today.

  • Spark Joy

    In this episode we explore Marie Kondo's method of decluttering but instead we apply it to beliefs, experiences, coping methods, and habits. Allowing yourself to thank the beliefs of the past AND choosing not to include it in the next chapter of your life is a choice.

    I help my clients create awareness around their subconscious beliefs that have driven the way the've showed up in their lives AND process all the emotions around it. Once you have awareness, making conscious decisions becomes a lot easier, not necessarily easy. Finally, you get to be intentional about creating joy in your life, the one you worked so hard to create.

    Join me on this beautiful journey.

  • Gratitude

    We are usually pretty good at showing gratitude to others. But how often do you stop and thank yourself?

    It's so easy to skip over appreciating all that you do and create but there are so many benefits to pausing and being grateful.

    In this episode, I share all the ways we already care for ourselves but may not acknowledge it.

    Start a new habit to vocalize or write down what you're grateful for in a daily basis and see how you experience more positivity in your own life without doing anything new or different..

  • The Patriarchy

    Double standards exist because of culture, tradition and habit. The patriarchy lives on despite modernization and education. The root cause is expectation by others, expectation of others and the expectations we put on ourselves.

    In this episode we will dive deeper into what we can do to create change.

  • Doing It Alone

    So many times we find ourselves trying to tough and it out and "doing it on our own" because we are so strong, smart and independent. Maybe this idea was helpful at some point or you had no other option but I'm here to tell you that's a choice.

    Doing it yourself doesn't get you where you want to go always and more importantly what does it cost you?

    Listen to this episode on why we do it and more importantly why it's not helpful or true. Asking for help or choosing you will feel uncomfortable in the beginning but it will get you where you want to go faster and with more ease.

  • Celebrate You

    How do you celebrate you on your special day?

    Do you wait for someone to plan it for you?

    How do you want to feel on your special days?

    October is my birthday month and for the last year I threw myself a 40th birthday bash. Planning ahead of time how you want to spend your day is empowering. It is not shameful, sad or disappointing. You get to decide.

About Brown and Happy

From the publisher's feed

Brown women work so hard and invest decades to do all the right things. Despite following the perfect checklist to do everything the way she should, she's still not happy. I have been down that path of doctor, wife, daughter and mother- and totally get it! I am a certified life and parent coach after a career change from an exhausted, overwhelmed, unfulfilled four decades. In this podcast we discuss how South Asian women look happy on the outside but are suffering on the inside. These women feel ashamed to admit it because they think they should just be grateful.
