Turn Off The Ringer

Welcome back! This week, I wanted to chat about a rather personal, but real epiphany I had. As social media takes up more space in our lives, the pressure to always be on or share parts of us is only increasing. For me, that's looked like sharing content, making content and always looking for content. That is, up until the beginning of 2024. On this episode, I chat about my relationship with making content and social media. This is another episode of me sharing my raw thoughts in real time, but on a topic that has changed the way I've viewed time and change in my life. I hope you enjoy

Welcome back to yet another episode! Today's episode felt special to record, and even "special-er" to share. A few days ago, I read a quote by Sylvia Plath that felt like the answer to a lot of the dilemmas I've been reflecting on. And so, I grabbed my phone and recorded a few ideas. Now, I have this episode as proof of that very moment. On this episode, I chat about identity, feeling lost and why we feel so off-center in our mid-twenties. Through it all, life isn't so serious and it's helpful to smile about it. But as someone who is always overthinking (ha ha), it feels good to share these thoughts in hopes that it resonates with someone. And if that someone is you, let me know :) Thank you for being here and taking the time to listen! Find me everywhere: Instagram: @_eshapathak and @turnofftheringerpodcast ⁠⁠⁠My Substack

Welcome back! I wanted to take this week to reflect on a pattern we're all guilty of: goal-setting for the sake of goal-setting. Over the past few months, I've noticed that the reason my goal setting wasn't effective was because I was setting goals I didn't care about. So I wanted to sit down and share a few things that have helped me set productive goals and really identify the things I'm passionate about. I hope this feels like a hug, and helps you navigate the expansiveness and confusion that comes with your twenties :) Find me everywhere: Instagram: @_eshapathak and @turnofftheringerpodcast ⁠⁠My Substack

Welcome back to the podcast! This week, I wanted to sit down and share with you my epiphanies on finding community and feeling a little less lonely :) I've come to realize that community is so much bigger than your friends and family. It's the little things in our everyday environment, the people we connect with as we effortlessly go about our day, and those we find in places we frequently visit. I hope this episode makes you feel a little less lonely, and better yet, more connected with others around you :) Sending you a hug :)

HELLO FRIENDS!!! If you're listening, I'm giving you a big virtual hug. 2024 has been a year full of reflection, healing and a lot of re-evaluation (classic quarter life-crises!) And so on this episode, I wanted to sit down and just catch up because a lot has changed, a lot is new and a lot of it is very exciting. It feels so good to be back but I'd love to know what you want to hear me gab about so I can make episodes that feel 10/10. Anyways, I hope this episode finds you and feels like a hug. That's all from me today :) Find me everywhere: Instagram: @_eshapathak and @turnofftheringerpodcast My Substack

Welcome back to the pod! As we navigate professional growth together, I'm bringing back an episode from last year: on being a woman in STEM! Read the extended description below and I hope it resonates

Welcome to the first episode of 2024! Thank you for tuning into Vol 1 of TOTR in 2024: Our Professional Growth Era. I wanted to kick-start this "era" by talking about something that we've all felt, seen, experienced: Imposter Syndrome. Regardless of the phase of life we're in, it's so natural to feel like we're lacking in some capacity, not doing enough or that we don't deserve the things we've achieved. And while I don't need to tell you why we need to overcome this mindset, I thought I'd share a few things that have helped me get over my imposter syndrome. Here's a few takeaways you'll find in this episode: 1. Find community and talk about your imposter syndrome. The more you talk about it, the more you realize you're not alone in feeling it, and community is where we thrive. 2. Stop using the word "imposter syndrome." It's subconsciously doing you more harm than good. 3. Never. Stop. Learning. The more you learn, the more confident you are in the things you want to achieve. As always, leave a rating if you enjoyed the episode and thank you for listening in. I appreciate you and see on the next episode! Where you can find me: Instagram: Turn Off The Ringer; Esha Pathak

Welcome back! We're back with another SOLO EP to close out this week and kickstart this weekend! The holidays can be a heavy time. As we close out the year and head onto bigger and better things, I wanted to take the time to reflect on thoughts that have shaped my perspective lately. They're heavy, they're abstract, but these reflections have helped me think about the heavy stuff a little differently. At the end, as we bring December in, I hope this episode helps ease your anxiety, feel comfortable in your skin and remember that you can do whatever you put your mind to

Welcome back! This week I'm back with another guest, and a super fun listen. This is your quintessential girly chat, so sit down, grab a drink and get cozy :) On this episode, Rachel and I dive into our relationship hot-takes, how you can find "the one," setting boundaries at work and MORE. When life feels tough and complicated and frustrating, a little perspective from someone in a different phase of life can be so helpful! As I chat with Rachel and answer your questions, my hope is that you can see life from a different (and older / wiser) perspective :) Thank you for coming back and hanging out with me every week! I love you

Welcome back to the pod! So excited to have you listening in this week, and joining me and a special guest: Annika Sharma! Annika is a podcaster, author and full-time creative who has used her voice to amplify the voices of other South Asians in the community. This week, we sit down and chat about her experience navigating her creative career, what her journey as an author has looked like and how motherhood has changed her. If there's any episode I want my female audience to listen to and resonate with, it's this one. As women, we face so much pressure to choose motherhood, be "the perfect mother" and put always put ourselves second. On this episode, Annika and I chat through how she's figured out the mom guilt, set strong boundaries and taken up space in a way that empowers her to be a better woman and even better mother. I am truly so excited for you to listen in today. Grab a cup of chai, get cozy and welcome to an episode that feels like a hug!

When I moved to the US at 18, the change was so striking and different. In so many ways, it was scary to make the transition but there are a few things that helped me, so I'm here to share. In this episode, we chat about: - the importance of having true friendships, rooted in how good they make you feel - making sure that your excitement for change is more than your fear of it - pushing yourself to learn and reminding yourself why you wanted to undergo a transition to begin with I hope this episode helps and it makes your change a little easier.

Welcome back! This week, I'm coming to you with a solo-episode to chit-chat about the BIG feelings we feel. Whether it's anxiety, fear, anger, feeling negative feelings can be a daunting and exhausting thing. To make this a little less daunting, I wanted to chat with you this week about where our big feelings come from, what they mean and how we can begin to navigate them.

Welcome back! :) So happy to have you, and also share such a huge part of my journey with you today: On healing! Growing up and into myself has been a process with so many highs and equal lows. And a huge part of my journey has been realizing when I need to take a break, re-evaluate things and fill up my empty cup. In this episode, I dive into my transformative journey of healing and filling my cup after a period of feeling drained.

Welcome back! This time, to an interview with a dear friend and woke Gen-Z gal - Nistha Dube. In this episode, Nistha and I talk about everything from passion projects and traditional careers, to escapism and how to overcome it. There's a lot of fears and limiting mindsets that stop us from pursuing what we truly want. In her journey, Nistha has repeatedly made decisions that beat the status quo and prioritise her happiness over what society expects of us in our early 20s. We chat about what fears stop us from pursuing true happiness, how we can be happy with unconventional decisions and how to stop running away from what's meant for us. 10/10 episode for a quick pick-me-up and a morning walk :) I hope this makes your day, I hope you learn something new and as always, thank you for listening.

Welcome Back to what seems like the most natural episode I've recorded on the podcast. I'm so excited for you to join in and listen. This week, I wanted to chat about the importance of Awe, and things that change our perspective on life, our "problems" and things of the sort. I title this episode "The Importance Of Our Insignificance" not to imply that we don't matter, but rather that it's comforting to think that in the grand scheme of things, our existence isn't as large as we perceive it. And if so, then what a great life to make mistakes in and learn from. I am so excited for you to listen and hope you learn something new. Leave me a comment, leave the show a rating, and tell me what you think! I love you.

WELCOME BACK! I missed you last week, but very much needed a break :) This week, join me on a solo episode as we unpack one of the many mysteries of our mind: overthinking. Feeling like something's wrong when it isn't, is a sneaky thought that fuels our self-doubt. Join me as a chat through why we doubt our mind and potential, and what we can do to get self-security on LOCK. This episode feels personal; almost like a journal entry. I wanted to dive into our tendencies to overthink and why our brains love to play tricks on us. From dissecting the tendency to obsessively analyze every detail to unraveling the secrets behind our built-in doubt factories, I hope this episode helps. Luv you, hope this feels like a big warm hug :) Find all my links here: https://linktr.ee/eshapathak

Welcome Back! In this episode, join me and Tracy Vadakumchery AKA TheBadIndianTherapist, as we talk through some tough stuff - mental health, identity, boundaries, shame, and guilt. We're breaking down the stigma around mental health, especially in communities of color. We're also talking about how our identities can impact our mental health, why it's so important to set boundaries to protect ourselves AND how we can set boundaries in our relationships. And let's get real about shame and guilt - we've all been there. We're sharing our own experiences and offering some tips on how to move past those feelings. It's all about self-awareness, self-compassion, and getting support when we need it. I hope conversation is a safe space for you, and makes you feel heard.

Welcome Back to an episode that I never thought I'd record! Dating is hard enough by itself, let alone dating as a desi person. With the social taboos and pressures that surround dating culture in the South Asian community, I thought it'd be fun to unpack some ways in which we can navigate the complex, but "navigate-able" desi dating diaspora. I'm not promising that this episode will help you find the love of your life. But what I am promising is that it WILL give you a newfound sense of confidence within yourself, to build a relationship with YOU before you build it with someone else. As always, let me know what you want to chat over chai about. If you feel ever-so-inclined, support me by rating this show, and telling me what you think. Lastly, if you don't want to wait a whole week for new content, be sure to follow me everywhere for mini podcasts and storytimes :) Love you

Welcome back! After graduating college, we're socialized to fit ourselves into boxes: either you get a full-time job, or you go back to school. This leaves little room for creativity, growth, and genuine exploration of our minds and interests. In this episode, join Joy Batra and me, as we talk about exploring unconventional careers, breaking into freelancing and really honing in on the sweet spot between your creativity and intellect. At the end of the day, the thing that will give you the most value, and help you create impact is the thing you truly love. Through her new book "The Freelance Mindset" Joy beautifully outlines the path of side hustles and exploring your creative instincts. I hope this conversation helps you break the mold, take that leap of faith and invest in yourself. Love you

Hello and Welcome Back! The most exciting part of being 23 and living in NYC is that I am living the life OF MY DREAMS. But sometimes, getting intimidated by our dreams is easy if we don't have the right map to follow. Success is rooted not in talent, but more so in the discipline. Throughout the years, I've cultivated habits that have made me realistic and effective at goal-setting, and that's made it so much easier for me to achieve the long-standing goals I've had. On this episode, join me as we unpack everything that goes into setting the right goals, building your intentions, and setting yourself up for success. I love you

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Welcome back, to what's part 2. of me answering your questions about navigating life abroad as an international student! As I sat down to edit this episode, I realized that most of the questions I answered were things that might help, regardless of where you live.

More questions you want me to answer? Shoot me a DM and I'd be happy to help :) 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. Join me as we walk through friendships, career changes, love, and ambitions. I hope this resonates :) . . . Where to find me: Instagram: @_eshapathak

Welcome back! In my first month of moving to a brand new city and starting a new life, I can't help but think about change and all the ways in which it's scary, new, exciting and intimidating. But what no one talks about is how gratifying it is to take a moment and drive change around you. This week's episode is a deep dive on how you can be that driver and change systems that you're a part of. Writing / recording this episode was incredibly exciting, especially given my recent experience in successfully impacting my community at Penn State (before I graduated.) I hope this episode serves you with models that you can use to create meaningful differences in communities that you're a part of. For more reference, here's a few resources that helped me with my journey, and informed some of my ideas in this episode: Books - Leading Change by John Kotter Podcast - The Tim Ferriss Show: The 3 Critical Rules of Branding As always, let me know what you think :)

This week's episode is a little different. A few weeks ago, I unexpectedly wrote a love letter to my home: Mumbai. The beauty of this process was that I never went into that writing session expecting to produce the words that I did. But reading it back, I could hear and see every part of this essay, and I wanted to create something that could embody what Mumbai sounds like. So I reached out to some of my best friends and asked them to send me voice recordings of things that reminded them of Mumbai. And every single one of them (I'm not exaggerating), said the same things. We didn't rehearse this, I didn't expect it. But when I saw it, I knew we all missed home in the same way. This audio essay is a product of that love. Here's a celebration of home, and giving you a little taste of Mumbai. Shoutout to my pals for being involved in this. I
