Shirani M. Pathak teaches you how to have amazing relationships by doing one simple thing: dismantling supremacy’s internalized oppression and conditioning. Though it’s simple, it may not be easy. Tune in to learn how perfectionism, imposter syndrome, judgement, criticism, comparison (aka comparisonitis), fear of failure, inadequacy and the “not enoughs” hold you back from the amazing relationships you desire. In this podcast I‘m illuminating how what you‘re feeling is a result of what we’ve been programmed to believe living under supremacy culture’s systems of oppression, and offer solutions to help you heal from supremacy‘s sneaky conditioning. I cover topics of racism, relationships, emotional intelligence, relational intelligence, neuroscience, the nervous system, intergenerational trauma, epigenetics, spirituality, authentic leadership, alcoholism, addiction, abuse, violence and so much more.

The "Model Minority Myth", a phrase I learned from Ijeoma Oluo, is a tool the supremacy uses to keep BIPOC folx hating on one another. Our achievements are weaponized against one another and this becomes yet another one of the burdens we carry. We must break free from this toxic pattern and break out of this myth.
The reason I'm talking about this today is because as a leader, it's imperative for you to know about the workings of the model minority myth so that you and your organization aren't operating from this deeply ingrained erroneous belief meant as a weapon to keep people down.

Today we're exploring how the bastardization of the feminine (check out previous episode, S2E5: The Fierce Feminine) lead to women being the ones carrying the heaviest burdens.
The burdens us women carry are heavy and the burdens we carry are many.
It's important to note that the burdens we carry aren't ours alone
We carry the burdens and the pain of the men that we love, our children, our families, and even our ancestors. And we carry these burdens in our DNA as we now know thanks to research on epigenetics (you can hear more on that in Episodes 3.0 Your Nervous System and 4.0 Intergenerational Trauma with Dr. B. Nilaja Green).
Tune in today to learn more.
Enjoy!

Technically, this is Part 3 of the You're Powerful AF mini-series, but she's so fierce she needed her own name!
Do you ever have those days where you neglect and ignore your own needs, you don't follow your hunches, so you feel irritable and the whole day ends up being a hot mess?
Yeah, I've had those days, too...
And typically, they're the days that I haven't listened to the power and the wisdom contained within myself, my body, and my connection to a Source of Power Greater than me.
Today we look at why that is (hint: it has to do with the colonial, capitalist, white supremacist, contemptuous patriarchy) and how you can tap into the power of the fierce and Divine Feminine that has been beaten down and abused for far too long under patriarchy's rule.
Why does this matter?
Because the feminine is fierce AF... when we get back into right relationship with her. And, because as BIPOC women in leadership, if we don't give up the patriarchy's way of operating in the world, we will continue to see the same old bull sh*t of the patriarchal world.
As leaders it is our responsibility to reconnect with the fierce feminine and allow her to guide us. It's where many of our superpowers reside.
And one quick note: the Divine Feminine is a quality of energy that lives within all of us, male, female, and non-binary.
Enjoy!

In this episode we're continuing the conversation we started last week about the fact that you are powerful af.
Tune in to learn how it is that we got it twisted and fell under the illusion that we are not powerful and how we can start to take our power back.

Did you know that you are powerful af?
I mean, really, truly, you are powerful.
So why is it that sometimes you don't feel that way?
Why is it that imposter syndrome can creep up on you, planting seeds of doubt, leading you to question the choices you make and therefore how powerful you are?
Because, living under the colonial, capitalist, white supremacist, contemptuous patriarchy, we're taught to shut down everything that makes us powerful — which is everything that makes us human and woman.
In this episode, which is part 1 of a mini-series on how powerful you are, we start to explore what some of that power is and how you can get it back.
Today I also make a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
The waitlist for The Sanctuary for BIPOC Women in Leadership is officially open! This is a space for women like you and me to come together and be in community with others who understand the challenges we face AND how we can shift out of challenge into triumph.
The community is being built based on what YOUR needs are. When you join the waitlist, you'll have an opportunity to share your voice on what your biggest challenges are and what you need from The Sanctuary.
Visit www.bipocsanctuary.com to join the waitlist.

What if you knew that you didn't have to show up armored up and ready to defend yourself all the time? What if you understood that you can be strong and gentle at the same time? And what if it were possible for you to find fierceness in your gentleness?
These are just some of the topics our first guest of Season 2, Krishna Avalon, and I dig into in this episode.
We also talk about being a Brown girl in an all white family, in an all white town, in an all white state, and how that impacted Krishna's identity, and what she needed to return to in order to heal from her experiences.
Krishna shares about the wisdom contained within our bodies and how breathwork is a simple and effective way to clear trauma quickly and efficiently.
Tune in to hear us dive deep into these topics and so much more.
You can connect with Krishna on her website at https://krishnaavalon.com/ and on Instagram @krishnaavalon

We're back for a brand new season of the Fierce Authenticity Podcast!
In this episode your hostess, Shirani M. Pathak, relationship therapist, author, speaker, coach, consultant, and transformational leader, re-introduces herself and what this podcast is about this season (with permission to be imperfect and change her mind).
Over the break there's been some clarity coming through and the podcast is shifting to primarily speak to the experiences of BIPOC women in leadership.
We BIPOC women are powerful beings, but, the toxic white supremist patriarchal structure we live in would like us to believe otherwise. So, for this next season, we're talking about human relationships, emotional intelligence, authentic leadership, and how our culture of patriarchy, supremacy, and contempt impacts the way we allow ourselves to show up in the world.
One major change of importance this season is that Love Note episodes will no longer be available on the public podcast. Love Notes are the short permission slips and healing practices that accompany solo episodes.
This season Love Notes will only be available as a bonus to members of the private Fierce Authenticity Newsletter Community. The community is completely free and in addition to Love Notes, you'll also receive community only invites to quarterly Coffee Dates and Ask Me Anything sessions, and invitations to other programs, services, and offers before anyone else.
To join the private Fierce Authenticity Newsletter Community, head on over to www.fierceauthenticity.com/starthere (and be sure to check the button that says "Yes, I want to receive emails from you.") Email consent is important to me and I promise not to abuse your inbox.
I'm excited to dive into a new season with you!
Oh, and PS: If you know a bad ass BIPOC woman in leadership, pass this podcast along to her. Together we all rise.

Today is the last day of what seems like the longest year of our lives, 2020. And though when the clock turns midnight on Jan 1, 2021 isn't going to magically change everything that's wrong, we can still take time to digest the year we've had.
2020 got a bad rap, and yet when we take the time to reflect, we can see the many gifts this year brought us:
-Illuminating outdated systems and structures that needed to crumble
-Illuminating racial and social inequities from 400+ years ago that still operate today
-Allowing us to reflect on what really matters
-Racial healing
-And, this podcast!
Tune in to today's episode to hear more celebrations of 2020, including the ways you, my listener, are part of my celebration of this year!
As a heads up: we're taking a break from releasing new episodes in Jan 2021 as we prepare for what's next, so tune in to today's episode and then take time to catch up on what you've missed.
Be well and Happy 2021!
