Inner Space Podcast
This podcast is for high-achieving, overly responsible women who hold everything together for everyone else, yet quietly second-guess themselves on the inside.
Through grounded conversations and practical insights, therapist Nisha explores the patterns that keep capable women stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, internal pressure and self-doubt.
Across topics like family and cultural conditioning, nervous system regulation, boundaries, identity and visibility, each episode offers honest reflections and small shifts to help you rebuild self-trust and inner authority in work, business, relationships and everyday life.
This podcast supports women to develop the confidence and clarity to:
• make decisions without spiralling into overthinking
• speak clearly without shrinking or rehearsing
• set boundaries without guilt dominating their thinking
• express opinions without fear of judgement
• trust their instincts instead of constantly seeking reassurance
Just thoughtful conversations and practical tools for women who are ready to trust themselves more and lead their lives with steadiness and self-authority.
If you're a high-achieving woman who is capable on the outside but still finds herself second-guessing decisions, overthinking conversations or struggling to set boundaries, this is exactly the work I support women with.
You can find more details about working together and book a consultation through the link in the show notes.

Reclaiming Self-Worth as an Asian Woman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Self-worth isn’t just about confidence or self-esteem - it’s the deep inner knowing that you are enough, just as you are, without having to earn it through performance, sacrifice or perfection. But for so many of us, especially Asian women, that sense of worth doesn’t come naturally. It’s shaped by the invisible weight of generational trauma.
In this episode, I’m joined by Sandy to explore how family conditioning, cultural expectations, and inherited survival strategies quietly shape the way we see ourselves. Exploring the belief that love must be earned, we’ll unpack how these patterns erode self-worth - and what it really takes to reclaim it.
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt like they were only valuable if they pleased, endured, or achieved. Healing your self-worth isn’t selfish - it’s legacy work.
Show Notes
In this episode, we dive into:
- What self-worth really means (beyond confidence or self-esteem)
- How generational trauma is passed down through families and culture
- The conditioning that many Asian women are raised with that quietly chip away at self-worth
- The guilt, shame and resistance that often show up when you begin to heal
- How reclaiming your worth is both personal and ancestral work
Key points from the Episode:
- Self-worth isn’t built in isolation - it’s inherited before it’s ever chosen.
- For an Asian woman, reclaiming self-worth is an act of resistance and legacy healing.
