From the Cage to Courage: Miesha Tate's Unforgettable Journey of Resilience and Rediscovery!

Self-doubt doesn’t shout it whispers. It creeps in quietly when you're about to do something bold. In this heartfelt solo episode of Beyond the Known, host Jitesh Vaswani opens up about the inner critic we all carry and how we can learn to live with it, without letting it lead.

Whether it’s launching a podcast, taking an exam, or chasing a dream, self-doubt shows up. But so can stillness. Drawing from the teachings of Gurudev, his own breathwork journey, and a parable from the Buddha, Jitesh shares three grounded tools to move through doubt with clarity and courage.

This isn’t about eliminating fear. It’s about showing up gently, truthfully, anyway.
