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.

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!

In today's guest interview, powerhouse Nisha Mody and I sit down as two South Asian American women with mics and visit so many healing places.
Nisha and I talked about colorism. We talked about oppression. We talked about the caste system and how that and colorism go together. We talked about anti-blackness. We talked about the way the South Asian community has been brought into the anti-blackness as a result of colonization ,and many many more powerful things.
One of the things that I loved most about our conversation, in addition to the total raw, authentic vulnerability and the fierce authenticity of our conversation, is at the very end, when we talked about what is it that gets in the way of most South Asians and the South Asian community speaking up about racism, anti-blackness and other social justice issues and creating a greater, more equitable environment.
We got curious about why that is?
Listen in to hear the answer. ;)
If you want to experience a shift in your perspective so that you can make a greater impact, this episode is for you!
You can connect with Nisha over on Instagram @healinghypegirl and learn more about her Healing Hype Community over at https://www.thehealinghype.com/

Where's all my fellow control freaks, perfectionists, and people pleasers at?
In this week's episode we talk about how your desire to control exploits the very people that you love (or maybe even those that you don't), and how it is also exploitative to you.
The toxic patriarchy has its roots in contempt and trying to control others (or ourselves) to try and get others to do what we want or be who we want them to be (as well as trying to contort ourselves to being a certain way so that we will be loved and accepted) is exploitation of the other.
Tune in to this week's episode to learn more and what you can do when you find yourself falling into that pattern.
