It is natural to want to share the proud moments in our lives on social media & with friends… but why aren’t we proud of our failures? In this episode, I reflect back on my life and unpack why I felt pressure to maintain my status of “being the best” most of my life. I share how I unpacked one of my recent failures so I could move past the surface level of disappointment and embarrassment, and instead wear it proudly like a badge of honor!

The problem with fairy tales, books and movies portrayal of marriage (or romantic relationships) goes much much deeper than just the grand romantic gestures. I dive into what this is exactly and how it is creating unfair and unrealistic expectations of our relationships which then leads to pressure to maintain a certain image. I also share why normalizing hard topics like this one is critical for the “women supporting women” movement!

I’m going heavy right off the bat people! This is a tough topic to talk about especially since it’s not admitted out loud that often. I went through my emotions of shame around this feeling until I had an experience that forced me to look it straight in the eye and unpack it. I’ll share my experience with a close friend, how I unpacked it and which questions I now use to help shift my energy from jealousy to positivity!

In this introduction episode, I (Neha) share my life story so you can get to know me. I talk about why and when "unpacking" came into my life and what inspired me to share my personal stories & formula.
