Why do we keep repeating the same money patterns, even when we know better?

In this episode of Journey from Karma to Dharma, Nikita Thakrar sits down with money mindset expert Denise Duffield-Thomas to explore the deeper patterns behind how we earn, save, spend and receive.

This is a conversation about far more than money. It is about identity, self-worth and the quiet stories we inherit long before we ever earn our first pound.

Together they explore where inherited money patterns begin, why financial success can still feel unsafe, the feast-or-famine cycle and how to move from survival to stability, a grounded and practical approach to manifestation, why undercharging leads to burnout, and how receiving, boundaries and self-worth are all connected.

Whether you are a soul-led entrepreneur, a high achiever who still feels the pull of old patterns, or simply curious about the psychology of money, this conversation will help you see your relationship with money in a new light.

What is intuition, and how can you learn to access it?

Intuition is often misunderstood as a mysterious gift reserved for psychics, spiritual teachers or a chosen few. But intuition is not something external that you need to acquire. It is a natural form of inner knowing that already exists within you.

In this video, I explore what intuition really is, the different ways it may communicate with you, and why accessing it is often less about developing a special ability and more about learning to listen.

In this video, we will explore:

What intuition actually is

Why intuition is not only for psychics

How intuition may speak through your body, senses and inner awareness

What can interfere with your ability to hear it

How to begin strengthening your connection with your own inner knowing

Intuition does not always arrive as a dramatic vision or unmistakable voice. Sometimes it is the quiet sense that something is right, the subtle contraction that asks you to pause or the knowing that appears before the mind has had time to explain it.

The more deeply you know yourself, the easier it becomes to recognise what is intuition, what is fear and what belongs to an old pattern.

Your intuition may not reveal the entire path. It may simply illuminate the next honest step.

DEEPEN YOUR CONNECTION

Dharma Diploma: When the Life You Built No Longer Feels Like YoursYou have created the success, the identity and the life you thought you wanted.

So why does something still feel missing?

Dharma Diploma is a nine-month journey of identity transformation for those who sense they have outgrown who they have been, but have not yet fully embodied who they are becoming.

This is not about fixing yourself or adding more achievements to your life. It is about recognising the patterns and conditioning that have shaped you, releasing the identities you have inherited, and remembering who you truly are beneath them.

Your dharma is not something you need to chase. It is already within you, waiting to be remembered.

In this episode, I explain what the Journey With Nikita actually entails and how I guide people from unconscious patterns into purposeful living.

This is the journey from Karma to Dharma: from repeated patterns, old identities and inner contraction into remembrance, alignment and embodied purpose.

If your life no longer feels like it fits, this episode will help you understand why that may be happening, what your patterns are trying to reveal, and how the deeper journey with me supports you in moving from patterns to purpose.

Your next step after listening is to take the Dharma Archetypes quiz and discover the archetypal pattern shaping your current season. Click here to do the quiz.

Repeating patterns can affect more than one area of your life. They may appear as people-pleasing in relationships, perfectionism at work, neglecting your wellbeing, avoiding difficult decisions or repeatedly choosing what feels familiar over what feels aligned.

The purpose of this quiz is not to judge your patterns, but to help you become aware of where they may be influencing your choices. Awareness is the first step towards breaking the cycle.

Patterns to Purpose is about the quiet, often unseen journey beneath the surface of a life that looks “together.” It explores how the habits, behaviours, and emotional cycles we repeat are not random flaws to fix, but meaningful patterns pointingus back to ourselves.

At its core, this work is about awareness. When we begin to notice our patterns, whether in relationships, work, or self-worth, we start to see the deeper beliefs and unmet needs that drive them. What once felt like limitation becomesinformation. What felt like stuckness becomes direction.

Patterns to Purpose invites a shift from striving and performing to understanding and aligning. It is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you arebeneath conditioning, expectation, and survival strategies.

Each pattern you unravel reveals a layer of truth, guiding you toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and intentional.

This is the movement from autopilot to clarity. From repetition to choice. From living a life that works on the outside to one that feels true on the inside.

In this episode, I explore the concept of Dharma Archetypes and how they reveal your soul’s core nature.

If you’ve built a life that looks successful on the outside but feels misaligned underneath, this conversation will help you understand why.

Most people think they are lost.
But often, they are not lost… they are patterned.

Your archetype is not just your strength. It also reveals the unconscious patterns that shape how you think, lead, relate, and show up in your life.

When you understand your Dharma Archetype, you begin to see:

• Why you repeat certain patterns
• Where you move into burnout, people-pleasing, or self-doubt
• What your natural gifts and purpose truly are

This is the journey from Karma to Dharma
From unconscious patterns to conscious purpose
From who you learned to be to who you truly are

I'm Nikita and in June 2026, I had the privilege of doing my first Tedx talk. It was a whirlwind experience, and a lot went on behind the scenes to prepare for it! In this short video, I share aspects of my journey for those who might be considering doing a Tedx talk themselves. It's a competitive process, but the experience itself is life-changing. I hope this inspires you to pursue it if it's on your bucket list!
