What If The Problem Is Not Them: The Hard Truth About What Triggers Us

What if the things that frustrate us most are actually pointing us back to ourself?

In this episode, we continue the journey through the Niyamas by exploring Svadhyaya: the practice of self-study, reflection, and honest introspection. After a month of sitting in the refining fire of Tapas, this conversation invites a softer, yet equally courageous step inward.

Together, we unpack what it really means to observe rather than judge ourselves—learning to examine our thoughts, reactions, and patterns with curiosity instead of criticism. Because the truth is, so much of what we see in others is often a mirror of what already lives within us.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, look inward, and gently ask: What is this moment trying to show me about myself?

If you’ve ever struggled with judgment, comparison, or feeling stuck in the same patterns, this conversation will meet you with both truth and grace.
