Why do we feel like we always have to be more?

In this episode, I unpack the hidden pressure to be impressive, especially for high-achieving people, and how it disconnects us from ourselves. We explore the shift from proving to aligning, and why “enough” can feel so uncomfortable.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and the pod in general. Here's how you can reach me:

This week on Positively, Priyanka, we’re diving into one of the most powerful mindset shifts in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): learning how to reframe your thoughts.

So many of us move through life on autopilot, repeating stories that keep us stuck, small, or disconnected from our truth. In this episode, we’ll explore how to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge distorted beliefs, and begin rewriting the story in a way that feels grounded, compassionate, and true.

This isn’t about forcing positivity, it’s about choosing honesty and kindness at the same time.

If you’ve been feeling caught in your head lately, this episode will help you find a softer, steadier way forward.

Welcome back to Positively, Priyanka! After a little break since April, I’m returning with a brand-new Fall Wellness Series — 8 episodes designed to help you think, feel, and glow differently this season.

In Week 1, we’re starting with the mind: clearing the mental clutter. Together, we’ll explore what unhelpful thought patterns sound like, why they keep us stuck, and how simple CBT-based reframes can shift your perspective and open space for growth. I’ll also guide you through a journaling exercise to help you release an old story that no longer serves you, and share evidence-based resources to support your reflection this week.

This is your gentle reset — a chance to soften, reset your inner dialogue, and step into the season with clarity and intention.

• 📘 What Is Cognitive Restructuring?
  — Psychology Tools
• 🎥 How to Challenge Negative Thoughts (CBT in Action)

This week we address an important topic that often comes up in my sessions: How do I stop reacting poorly in situations that trouble or upset me? Many of us face challenges in the relationships we have in our lives, but the sooner we are able to move out of reacting (involuntary, emotional, and often unaligned with our values and goals) and into responding (grounded, thoughtful, aligned) we see our relationships improve tremendously. 

We address the "how-tos" and more in todays episode. Jump In!
