Welcome back - I'm back with another solo episode! This time, we're talking about how we've been consumed by comparison, envy and jealousy in a way that doesn't serve our generation. Being critical of ourselves is easy, especially with the access we have to the lives of others online. Join me this week as I unpack my own relationship with comparison, how it gets in the way of our growth, my experience with it, and mindset shifts that have helped me stop comparing myself to others.  As always, I hope this resonates. See you next time. Love you :) Where you can find me -  Instagram: @_eshapathak and @turnofftheringerpodcast Tiktok: @ep_15

Happy Monday and welcome back! Join Esha as she discusses her corporate life as a woman in STEM, and how her intersectionality has informed the way she navigates her career. In conventionally male-dominant industries, it can often be intimidating or anxiety-inducing to be in rooms that don’t seem as inviting or fit to support our ambitions as women of color. In this episode, Esha unpacks the best advice she’s gotten from female leaders, how to create a space for yourself and be comfortable with your identity so that your success is rooted in confidence. As always, reach out to me with questions and if you have experiences like me, let’s have a conversation. Help me help you! Love you, I hope you find your purpose. Resources/reads that have helped me gain perspective: Crucial Conversations by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Al Switzler, Ron McMillan The Hidden Lives of Women in STEM by Lori Rodriguez The Mel Robbins Podcast episode: The truth about anxiety and how to heal it Not a conventional “finance” episode, but I think there’s a lot of value in learning how to manage our emotional / mental headspace in the corporate space Find me everywhere:  Instagram: @_eshapathak and @turnofftheringerpodcast Tiktok: @ep_15

Welcome back to pt2 of my conversation with Yukta, where we talk about setting a high standard for the people in your life and actually cherishing being single. Being in a relationship has been put on an unfair, and almost unattainable pedestal, without crediting the fact that single life can set you up with such important foundations for yourself. In this episode, Yukta and I chatted about gratitude, the non-romantic forms of love in our life, and how we adopted mindsets that made being single really exciting (and not depressing.)  Regardless of whether or not you're in a relationship, situationship or whatever, we hope this episode resonates and is something you look to when you're having a hard time navigating love and other things.  I hope you enjoyed this episode and give yourself the love and attention you deserve <3 See ya next week! :)  Yukta's socials:  - @yuktachand_ - @chaitoxfficial My socials:  - @_eshapathak - @turnofftheringerpodcast

HAPPY VALENTINE'S, especially to all my single listeners and welcome to my first DATING EPISODE! Excited because I never thought I'd post an episode like this, but In part 1 of this interview, with the coolest - Yukta Chand - we talk about everything from hookup culture and long-term relationships to swiping on Apps for the sake of it. Ultimately, we hope our conversation highlights a different perspective on relationships and love for you. Ultimately, we are we what think, and I hope you know that this day is about celebrating love and joy and kindness, regardless of whether or not you're in a relationship. So sit back, grab your bestie and some chai, and let's talk dating.  Follow Yukta:  - Instagram: @yuktachand_ - Yukta's Podcast: @chaitoxofficial Follow me everywhere:  - Instagram: @_eshapathak - Tiktok: @ep_15

Welcome back! This week, I'm coming to you with THE MOST (for real this time) exciting interview with my dear friend, and mentor Alisa Vasquez. Join us as we talk about everything from the complexities of our identities and our experiences living in environments where we were the minority, to confidence and battling insecurities. Alisa is an absolute POWERHOUSE of a woman; an entrepreneur, model, activist, and creator - there's nothing she cannot do. Our conversation sparked insights on the impact of stereotypes on our self-perception, negative self-dialogue, and how we can overcome our own mindset barriers to feel more empowered and free. I truly hope this conversation resonates, and that you learn something valuable from it, just as I did from Alisa. As always, thank you so much for listening and giving me the space to do what I truly love <3  Alisa's Socials:  Instagram: @alisaa_danielle and @threelayerswomen My socials:  Instagram: @_eshapathak and @turnofftheringerpodcast

Happy Tuesday! In light of my last episode being all about fears, I thought this week we could unpack everything that goes into feeling self-conscious in public and how you can stop (hopefully) caring about what people think of you. The pressure to conform or change ourselves to make others more comfortable is exhausting. Join me this week as I walk you through 3 mindset shifts that have helped me focus less on others, more on me and finally let go of what others think of me.  The pod's new official instagram: @turnofftheringerpodcast

Welcome back and Happy New Year! I thought the most relevant way to kickstart the new year was to talk about something, that I think, we all struggle with - being scared of doing things you really want to do. Whether it's imposter syndrome or the fear of social judgment, we're too self-critical of our interests and are scared to put ourselves out there. And while this is a limiting thinking pattern, it's also completely normal! So this week, I wanted to talk about 5 mindset shifts that have helped me think of my fears differently and let go of them, to develop more healthy thinking patterns :) I hope this week's episode brings you the joy that I had in producing it, and you start the year doing things you genuinely love.  Instagram: @_eshapathak

Welcome back!  This week, join me as I reflect on growth, change, and adulting.  We often think of growth as exciting, without realizing that it's also scary, intimidating, and full of change - and that's OKAY. In this episode, I talk about the top 5 things that have helped me ease into adulting and look at growth with a new perspective.
