Going from a start up to artist is not an easy step for anyone, let alone a woman of color.
Natasha Patel is a self-taught abstract artist based out of Costa Mesa, CA. She worked nearly a decade in toxic male dominated corporate start-ups before making the leap to become an artist and creative entrepreneur full time towards the end of 2021.
She uses fluid acrylics, inks, sand, and epoxy resin to create statement abstract paintings that are bold in color and vibrant in composition. Natasha is heavily influenced by the organic patterns and structures found in nature and the universe, and is currently working on an abstract collection inspired by ancient Indian architecture and textiles.
Are you a generational disruptor? We dive deeper into what that means and how that shows up in an immigrant family.

Payal Desai, also known as Payalforstyle on Instagram and tiktok. Her viral “Dusty Son” series on social media seeks to dispel traditional gender roles beginning right in her home - teaching her sons. The series has MILLIONS of likes and has grabbed the attention of media outlets and talk shows including the @tamronhall show on ABC @fox29philly @parents BusinessInsider (@insiderbusiness ), and more. In many ways Payal’s role as an educator (16 years in the classroom) informs much of her content creation influence and strategy.
In todays's episode we dive deeper into her journey from Educator to Content Creator. Being in the public eye and sharing about her own story of sobriety, gender disappointment, and advocacy. She had to make some difficult decisions and I am in awe of her commitment to her own values and ethics.

Do you notice the subconscious competitive vibe in the brown community?
As kids, we saw it in the older generation and were even roped into it. Remember the aunties and uncles bragging about how their kids were smarter and more talented than others? This competitive message from our families, culture, and community has seeped into our adult lives. So, how do we break this cycle of trauma and rivalry among our own people?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Most of us are first-or second-generation immigrants. We have mastered thinking inside the box over the years. But what would life look like if we were curious and willing to experience a little discomfort?
Where in your professional life could you think outside the norm? Apply for a promotion, or new project, switch gears, or even take a sabbatical. Now, where have you had to color inside the lines in your personal life? Is it in your marriage, parenting, or dating?
Check out this week's episode. We continue to honor AAPI Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month.
I have a gift for you! Enjoy a video series I made for you- How to Stop Caring What the Aunties Think.

Taking responsibility of your life is the most powerful step you can implement today. No matter what you're struggling with, there is something that you do have control of and that's where you focus your energy.
Feeling stuck, defeated and like a victim in your career, marriage, body and relationships is common but believing that there's nothing you can do is what feels powerless.
In this episode we talk about taking the first step, even though it doesn't feel like a big accomplishment in the moment. It's the little things that will help you gain power and take control.

The fear of the unknown leads us to feel paralyzed to make any new changes in both our personal and professional life.
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't....
The known poison is easier than the unknown....
However you want to say it, the fear exists.
In today's episode we discuss how this way of thinking especially affects the AAPI community.

In Honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we will dive deeper into the significance of who and what we are truly celebrating.
In this episode we talk about what makes the AAPI community unique collectively and individually. A common thread of immigration and preservation of our culture and traditions in a new land binds us together.
For many decades and even centuries we have slowly grown to reject our own culture. However, I found that now we can reassess our reasons and re-evaluate our intentions. In todays' episode we discuss the difference between the family heirlooms we want to keep and pass down to the next generation and the clutter we no longer wish to keep.

How do you respond when your child does ok but you know they have so much more potential? What does the little voice in your head say? Whose voice is it?
Mostly likely it's your parent. As an immigrant you were conditioned to always do your best and that hard work always pays off. What if that was what kept you not enjoying your accomplishments? How can we stop continuing the vicious cycle?
Let me tell you...

Time is running out...
Time will pass you by before you know and it and they will be all grown up...
I don't have enough time...
Do these sound familiar??
Time is the only constant and you have zero control over it but somehow you try to control it.
In this episode we discuss the various spectrum of parenting and it's relationship to time- either it's moving too fast or slow.
I share how to stop parenting from scarcity, anxiety and worry.
I'd love to hear your feedback. What resonated? What didn't?

Parenting is tough, even when everything is going ok.
Knowing that there's things that you can and cannot control is the secret.
The reason most of us struggle is that we set ourself up to fail by expecting change from our children. Yes, we do have a responsibility to parent but it's ok to not be surprised when people show you who they are.
In today's episode I share about my son's struggle in his school and how I had to step up and advocate for him. All of us had lots of anxiety in the process but it's ok to change your external circumstances to help you and your child.
I have been a practicing Pediatrician since 2009 and then added my integrative medicine and coaching to the mix.
Over the next few episodes we will cover various common parenting struggles.

How did you meet your partner?
Love Marriage, Arranged Marriage or Something Else.
Many of us have a subconscious checklist that we have created from our parents, culture and society which we use to meet the right guy. So yes, you chose your partner but was it really left to chance??
If you're struggling in your marriage, divorced, or thinking of separating.... listen to this week's episode.

Are you having FUN? Why or why not?
Take a minute to reminder the last time you laughed freely.
Telling yourself that you don't have time or energy is common. We all tell ourselves these stories to keep ourselves on the checklist.
It's a vicious cycle that is never ending.
In this episode we will talk about practical ways to incorporate fun again without guilt. If you want to feel free and laugh again unapologetically, book a consult for my private coaching program.
Don't wait any longer, let help you.
I got you!

Do you find yourself jumping from one relationship to another?
Are you constantly looking for the next best thing at work?
Do you tend to shop around a lot for a coach or therapist?
It's not a problem to know your options but are you getting the results that you wan tin your life, probably not.
In this episode we talk about struggling with committing when you start feeling scared, anxious, or uncomfortable. The grass is not greener somewhere else, it's green where you water. But why are you keeping yourself from watering or if you start, why do you quit?
Stop sabotaging yourself and then blame everyone else, including you instead actually dealing with the source of the problem..... telling yourself there's something better out there in the universe and you just haven't found it yet.
