In this deeply personal episode of Unleash Your Voice, I’m sharing the story I’ve never told in full: How my so-called “dream job” as a TV anchor nearly broke me. From the outside, I had it all: a high-profile role, a steady voice on morning shows, and a path I’d worked toward since childhood. But behind the scenes? It was costing me my mental health.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a role you once wanted more than anything, only to feel drained, diminished, or disconnected—you are not alone. I walk you through my journey: from delivering newspapers as a kid to anchoring the news, enduring microaggressions and toxic leadership, and finally making the bold leap into a new chapter that aligned with my worth, values, and mental health.

This episode is for anyone questioning whether they’re meant for more and needing permission to choose themselves.

✨ What you'll hear:

• The behind-the-scenes truth of my newsroom career (and what finally pushed me to leave)
• How therapy, storytelling, and community helped me reclaim my power
• Why building a Power Story isn’t just about getting the next job, it’s about remembering who you are
• Why leaving a toxic job is not failure, it can be the start of your next chapter

This one’s for anyone who feels stuck in a job that’s draining their spirit. You’re not imagining it. You’re not alone. And you deserve better.

🔗 Plus, I’m sharing my free on-demand Power Story Masterclass here to help you start crafting a story that reflects your full power, potential, and voice.

Because no job is worth your peace. And your story? It’s the key to unlocking the future you deserve. 

Hi, I'm Priya

Story Architect & Strategic Communication Coach

Being on national television made me an expert at telling captivating stories that keep people's attention. When you're memorable, you get more opportunities. That's how I went from working at a small local station to being on national TV in just five years. It's the same reason I've landed every job I've ever interviewed for and how I doubled my salary in two years when I transitioned to prestigious tech companies including Slack and Salesforce.

It isn't guesswork. It isn't just charisma. I have storytelling down to a science.

My superpower is to instantly see the magic and power of the story you NEED to share to stand out. I know how to identify your genius and the most powerful way to articulate it.

And now I'm teaching you exactly how to do the same.
