Episode - Release to Rise - Auditing Your 80% to Create Space for 10x Growth
.
Today, we’re kicking off a brand-new 3-part series inspired by the book 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy.
.
And in this first episode, Release to Rise, we’re talking about something that sounds simple but is often the hardest part of growth: letting go.
.
Letting go of the 80%—the habits, commitments, and thought patterns that keep you busy but not necessarily fulfilled.
.
Letting go is hard on many levels not just because of what you’re letting go of, mostly it’s WHO you’re letting go of.
.
Because who you’re really letting go of is this current version of you! That’s why it’s uncomfortable
.
Because to truly rise into your 10x future, you can’t take everything with you. Including other people and including this version of you.
.
Now, we’re going to apply this to business today.
.
And I encourage you to apply this concept that we’re going to unpack together on any and all areas of your life.
.
Let’s dig in!

Self-Leadership Audit — When You’re the Shark, the Suckerfish, and the Parasite

In this empowering episode of Unpacking Brain Drama, host Pratiti Pathak dives deep into a powerful leadership metaphor from Walter Bond’s bestselling book Swim: the Shark, the Suckerfish, and the Parasite—three archetypes that live within all of us and shape how we show up in life and business.

The Shark represents decisive ownership, clarity, and direction—the part of you that knows where you’re going and takes full responsibility for getting there. The Suckerfish symbolizes healthy partnerships and collaboration—the mentors, allies, and accountability relationships that amplify your strengths and accelerate momentum. And the Parasite reveals the habits, patterns, and relationships that drain your focus, energy, and confidence unless you create boundaries to protect your vision.

Pratiti invites you to take a Self-Leadership Audit to identify which archetype is running your day—and whether it’s helping you swim forward or keeping you treading water. Through relatable stories, practical examples, and powerful reflection questions, you’ll learn how to:

• Reclaim your direction and clarity when life feels chaotic (Shark energy)

• Build partnerships that multiply results instead of adding friction (Suckerfish energy)

• Spot and eliminate the subtle drains that sabotage your progress (Parasite energy)

• Create daily micro-shifts that strengthen your self-leadership muscle

This episode is a mirror, a guide, and a call to action. You’ll walk away with a 7-Day Leadership Challenge to design your week with intention—choosing one simple shift for each role:

• Shark: Define your one-sentence direction and create a two-number scoreboard.

• Suckerfish: Delegate one task or schedule one clarity conversation.

• Parasite: Seal one energy leak with a new boundary, tool, or rule.

As Pratiti reminds us, true leaders aren’t just managing others—they’re mastering their internal ecosystem. By the end, you’ll see that self-leadership isn’t about doing more; it’s about leading your thoughts, time, and energy on purpose.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Direction over speed.

• Partnerships over pride.

• Boundaries over burnout.

• You choose which archetype leads—and you choose it consciously.

Whether you’re leading a team, a business, or your own transformation, this conversation will help you rise above default mode and create Results by Design.

🎧 Tune in, reflect, and join the challenge.
Because leadership starts with you—and it’s time to swim with intention.

There’s No Such Thing as Right or Wrong – From Judgment to Freedom: What Really Guides Our Choices

How many times have you stressed over making the right decision? Or beat yourself up because you thought you made the wrong one?

In this episode of Unpacking Brain Drama, I explore a powerful idea from Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch: there is no such thing as right or wrong — only what serves your growth, and what doesn’t.

Most of us grew up with right versus wrong drilled into us. Right meant approval, belonging, being “good.” Wrong meant punishment, rejection, or shame. Over time, those rules shaped how we judged ourselves and others — keeping us stuck in comparison, people-pleasing, and fear of failure.

But what if “wrong” doesn’t exist? What if every decision you’ve ever made was actually the best decision you could have made with the tools you had at the time? And what if looking back and thinking, “I did it wrong,” only means that today you have more awareness than you did then?

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why there really are no “wrong” decisions — only stepping stones that expand awareness.

• How judgment (of yourself and others) keeps you trapped in fear, comparison, and indecision.

• Why curiosity and compassion are powerful antidotes to judgment.

• Practical tools to shift from asking, “Is this right or wrong?” to asking, “Does this serve me? Does this serve my growth?”

• How reframing your past “mistakes” as valuable lessons can free you from shame and self-criticism.

I’ll also share personal stories of how I was once labeled the “black sheep” or the “rebel,” and how what others judged as “wrong” in me became my strength and truth. Plus, you’ll hear examples from my coaching clients who struggled with fear of judgment in meetings, people-pleasing in relationships, and the pressure to always do things “the right way.”

✨ Takeaway: When you release judgment, you release fear. Judgment is just fear wearing a mask. Replacing it with curiosity, awareness, and compassion brings you closer to love — and closer to your highest self.

So the next time you catch yourself asking, “Am I right or am I wrong?” pause and instead ask, “Does this serve me? Does this serve my growth?” That one question can shift you from judgment to freedom.

🎧 Tune in now to learn how to release the heavy weight of right and wrong, and step into the freedom of curiosity, self-compassion, and intentional living.

Most people think the opposite of love is hate. But what if the true opposite of love is fear?

In this episode of Unpacking Brain Drama, I explore one of the most profound insights from Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch: that every human action stems from either love or fear. We’ll dive into what this really means — not just spiritually, but biologically and emotionally — and how these two states shape every choice, thought, and reaction we have.

💜 You’ll discover:

• Why love is more than a feeling — it’s expansion, unity, and flow.

• How love opens the brain to creativity, empathy, resilience, and problem-solving.

• Why fear feels like contraction and separation, and how it hijacks your potential by suppressing higher-order thinking.

• The sneaky ways fear shows up in daily life: people-pleasing, procrastination, perfectionism, avoidance.

• Why judgment of others is often a sign of fear, even when we think we’re being “positive.”

• How fear of “contamination” and fear of self-reflection both keep us stuck on autopilot.

• Practical ways to notice whether you’re operating from fear or love — and how to shift in real time.

This conversation goes deeper than surface-level positivity. It challenges the patterns we’ve been taught since childhood — the conditioning that love is conditional and fear is safer. You’ll see how biology and upbringing have wired you toward fear, and how awareness can begin to rewire you toward love.

✨ Takeaway: The next time you catch yourself in judgment, comparison, or blame — pause and ask: Am I choosing from fear, or am I choosing from love? That one question can interrupt autopilot and bring you back into alignment with your truest self.

And because transformation happens when you move from awareness into practice, I’ve created a free companion worksheet: “Fear or Love? A Self-Reflection Guide.” It’s filled with journaling prompts, body-awareness check-ins, and a simple exercise to help you catch fear in the moment and shift back to love.

At the end of the day, love and fear aren’t just emotions. They’re the foundation of every choice you make. Love expands your life. Fear contracts it. And the best part? You always get to choose.

In this episode of Unpacking Brain Drama, I’m inviting you to explore a powerful shift—one that’s changed the way I live, coach, and create results in my life. It’s the idea of sufficiency—not just as a mindset, but as a daily practice.

We’re so often caught in the loop of “not enough.”
Not enough time. Not enough money. Not enough progress. Not enough me.
But what if we could interrupt that pattern and learn to live from the truth that we are already enough?

In today’s episode, I walk you through five practical and deeply empowering ways to embody sufficiency every single day:

1. Daily Awareness – Learn to recognize the subtle ways scarcity shows up in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

2. The Sufficiency Journal – A simple yet powerful journaling practice to train your brain to look for "enough" in your life.

3. Redefining Success – Let go of productivity as your only measure of worth and lean into alignment, values, and grace.

4. Intentional Generosity – Give from overflow, not depletion, and shift how you show up in your relationships and business.

5. Anchoring into “I Am” – Replace the “I’ll be enough when…” narrative with affirmations that ground you in present-moment wholeness.

This isn’t about settling or playing small.
It’s about creating from abundance instead of chasing worthiness.
It’s about making choices that align with your values and support your nervous system, not burn it out.
And it’s about remembering that sufficiency is the doorway to peace, clarity, and purpose.

If you’re tired of striving and ready to reconnect with your own enoughness, this episode is for you.
Let’s stop chasing and start choosing—intentionally, powerfully, and with grace.

✨ You are enough. You have enough. You do enough.
And I’m here to remind you what that life can look and feel like.

Why Bother?

We’ve all had those moments when the questions hit hard: Why bother? What’s the point? Who am I trying to impress? Who am I trying to convince? When the weight of life feels heavy, when things feel too hard, when you’re tired of pushing through — it’s easy to wonder if any of it matters.

In this episode of Unpacking Brain Drama, Pratiti Pathak takes you on a powerful exploration of these questions and reframes them in a way that brings hope, clarity, and purpose. Because “why bother?” isn’t a dead end — it’s an invitation to look deeper.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why the feeling of “what’s the point?” is actually a signal that something within you is ready to shift.

• How to separate striving for external approval from your genuine desire for growth.

• The difference between chasing validation and choosing evolution.

• How hardships, setbacks, and painful chapters can become the very places you draw strength, love, and trust in yourself.

• Why becoming more than who you are right now isn’t about proving worth — it’s about creating a more loving relationship with yourself.

Pratiti shares her own journey of resilience — not just because she got through loss and adversity, but because she learned to lean on herself, to draw from inner strength, to love and trust herself even in the hardest seasons. The pride isn’t in surviving; it’s in who she became in spite of the challenges.

“Why bother?” becomes a doorway to a deeper truth: you bother because you are worth it. Because your growth matters. Because every step you take toward loving yourself unconditionally is a step toward freedom and fulfillment.

This isn’t about pretending life isn’t hard. It’s about choosing to create meaning, to nurture compassion, and to honor your journey as sacred — even when it hurts.

If you’ve been feeling tired, defeated, or stuck in the cycle of asking “what’s the point?” — this episode will remind you of the power within you to keep going, not out of obligation, but out of love.

Tune in, and rediscover why your journey, your healing, and your becoming truly matter.

Episode – "Scarcity vs Sufficiency" Transforming Your Relationship With Money

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you have, it never feels like enough? That’s the voice of scarcity—a mindset that keeps us anxious, fearful, and constantly striving for more. Scarcity tells us that resources are limited, that someone else’s gain is our loss, and that peace will only come once we “finally get there.”

But there’s another way to live—through sufficiency.

In this episode of Unpacking Brain Drama, Pratiti Pathak explores the powerful shift from scarcity to sufficiency, inspired by Lynne Twist’s The Soul of Money. Sufficiency isn’t about how much money is in your bank account. It’s not about settling or lowering your standards. It’s about stepping into a mindset of “enough”—the deep knowing that what you have, right now, is sufficient to live fully, love deeply, and create intentionally.

Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:

• The hidden ways scarcity thinking shows up in everyday life—through fear-based decisions, comparison, and emotional stress.

• How sufficiency frees you to spend, save, and give from alignment with your values instead of fear.

• The spiritual truth that the Universe is abundant, and how you can begin to live in alignment with that energy.

• Practical steps to move from scarcity to sufficiency, including reframing, gratitude, intentional giving, and aligning your money with your purpose.

• Real-life examples of how shifting into sufficiency creates confidence, flow, and unexpected opportunities.

Scarcity is heavy—it drains your energy and keeps you small. But sufficiency? Sufficiency is freedom. It’s peace. It’s the spaciousness to live from love instead of fear, from alignment instead of anxiety.

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I don’t have enough,” this episode is your invitation to reframe that story and step into the truth: you already are enough, and you already have enough to create the life you desire.

Tune in and learn how sufficiency can transform not just your relationship with money, but your relationship with yourself, others, and the Divine.
