The Fierce Authenticity podcast is for visionary leaders, changemakers, and rebels who are here to eradicate supremacy culture and know the work starts from within. Hosted by Shirani M. Pathak, a former therapist turned spiritual healer, mentor, and coach, this show helps you dismantle the systems of oppression you've absorbed within yourself.

-
Healing systemic trauma and internalized oppression
-
Nervous system regulation and mindfulness
-
Purpose-driven leadership and conscious business
-
Finding your authentic voice and power
Join us as we challenge dominant systems and create a new world, one act of fierce authenticity at a time.
