Fierce Authenticity episodes:

December 17, 2020 24.0 Two Brown Girls and a Mic with Special Guest Nisha Mody
In today's guest interview, powerhouse Nisha Mody and I sit down as two South Asian American women with mics and visit so many healing places.

Nisha and I talked about colorism. We talked about oppression. We talked about the caste system and how that and colorism go together. We talked about anti-blackness. We talked about the way the South Asian community has been brought into the anti-blackness as a result of colonization ,and many many more powerful things.

One of the things that I loved most about our conversation, in addition to the total raw, authentic vulnerability and the fierce authenticity of our conversation, is at the very end, when we talked about what is it that gets in the way of most South Asians and the South Asian community speaking up about racism, anti-blackness and other social justice issues and creating a greater, more equitable environment.

We got curious about why that is?

Listen in to hear the answer. ;)

If you want to experience a shift in your perspective so that you can make a greater impact, this episode is for you!

December 10, 2020 23.0 How Your Desire to Control Exploits People
Where's all my fellow control freaks, perfectionists, and people pleasers at?

In this week's episode we talk about how your desire to control exploits the very people that you love (or maybe even those that you don't), and how it is also exploitative to you.

The toxic patriarchy has its roots in contempt and trying to control others (or ourselves) to try and get others to do what we want or be who we want them to be (as well as trying to contort ourselves to being a certain way so that we will be loved and accepted) is exploitation of the other.

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and what you can do when you find yourself falling into that pattern.

November 05, 2020 20.0 The Wisdom of the Unseen
It's Election Week 2020 in the US and though I don't talk directly about the election results in this week's episode (because this episode was recorded about 5 days before election day), I do talk about how no matter what the results of the election are, we need to tap into the wisdom of the unseen, and how our work isn't done yet.

Your love note this week is wrapped up into this episode and I'm headed offline for some self-care, so the next episode will be released Nov 19, 2020.

October 22, 2020 18.0 Relational F*ckery with James-Olivia Chu Hillman
Have you ever engaged in strategies to try and "win" another person over in your relationships at the expense of true intimacy?

If so, you're engaging in what this episode's guest, James-Olivia Chu Hillman calls: Relational Fuckery.

Listen in as James-Olivia and I speak about the ways we participate in losing strategies and relational fuckeries in our relationships with each other and ourselves.

Some of my favorite highlights are:

Asking yourself is there room for you in your relationship and is your relationship sustainable?

What is right relationship, as defined by both James-Olivia and myself.

The importance of regard in our relationships.

How belonging cannot be conditional: We belong because we exist.

And, that the root of all our relationship pain comes down to one thing: contempt.

Resources James-Olivia and I talked about are:

-White Supremacy Culture article by Tema Okun
-Desiree Adaway
-Dr. Jenn McCabe
-James-Olivia's website and Regard program
