95: Re-Inventing the Modern-Day Arranged Marriage by Tina Treassa Pathak
Today, we continue the conversation with the “intrigue-of-the-party”. Tina Pathak is that person that no one can stop talking about. She waltzed into my Mothers Group four years ago w her newborn baby in a pram, shared her birth story (full of juicy details about going into labour over the most scrumptious steak sandwich at a local place we both love) and I instantly knew, I have to be friends w this woman!
I’ve know her as Tina Pathak these past yrs and somehow, she sends her bio to me as Teressa Joseph. Of course she has many names. She’s seriously the “the international wo-MAN of mystery”??
Born in India, she quickly moved to Saudi Arabia but when the Gulf War struck – they moved on to Dubai. At age 12, she returned to India by herself to attend boarding school at her Uncles newly developed school. She couldn’t have known that 3yrs later, her parents would return to India bowing their heads having been duped out of their fortune in Dubai. Tina’s Father, who she lovingly calls “Appa”, gathered up his wife and worked to the bone to re-create a life for his family in India once again.
Studying Engineering IT, and later a Philanthropy degree; Tina’s life spanned India and Ireland before she married her husband Sumeet in an arranged marriage (that’s a story I promise we’re going to get to) and now has two kids under the age of 5 living in Brisbane, Australia.
Her Father’s final words to her were whispered in her ear: “you are so beautiful and talented and creative, make sure you do something. Don’t stay at home.”
The greatest sadness of her life was when her Dad passed unexpectedly - she has been fulfilling on his prophetic words ever since.
This woman is an enigmatic presence in our community and I can’t wait to share her with you all…we can all grow from someone w her life experiences…
We’re so glad you’re here at In The Game Podcast Tina, it’s been a long time coming…

The Podcast's 7th Season
Welcome to In the Game, a podcast where we aim to touch, move and inspire you to what's possible in life. My name is Sarah Maxwell and I am a self-proclaimed relationship engineer. Ever since I was a little girl, I was curious about how people work and how they interact with one another. With a degree in biopsychology representing my country of Canada in beach volleyball. With a degree in biopsychology representing my country of Canada in beach volleyball, retiring from sport into mindset and purpose coaching, I now spend my days running Chatta-box Media, where we aim to story-tell for brands through the medium of podcasting, all while raising an eight-year-old daughter with my partner of 24 years. We are now in season seven of this podcast, featuring a special series on women called who Knew that Was Work aimed at young women who want to broaden their horizon when it comes to career choosing.
