We hear so much about emotions in therapy and personal development, but what if there’s another way to think about them? In this episode, we take a fresh look at emotions through both a psychological and cultural lens—exploring how belief systems shape the way we experience joy, success, and even self-expression.

Drawing from Vedantic philosophy and the Indian superstition of nazar (the evil eye), we unpack why so many of us struggle to fully embrace positive emotions. Whether it’s the fear that happiness is fleeting or the hesitation to acknowledge success out loud, these ingrained beliefs often hold us back from fully experiencing the present.

I’ll share a simple yet powerful practice to generate the emotions you need when you’re feeling unproductive or stuck—one that doesn’t require forcing positivity. If you’ve ever found yourself downplaying your achievements or fearing that good times won’t last, this episode will help you reframe your relationship with emotions.

Join me as we explore how to experience joy without attachment, self-awareness without overanalysis, and confidence without fear of loss. Tune in now!
