FROM ZERO WITH ANUSHA KANNAN
The gap between knowing you're wrong and actually changing | Episode 58

There's a huge gap between knowing you're messing up and actually doing something about it. We all think we're so self-aware- we can explain exactly why we procrastinate, why we attract certain people, why we make the choices we make. But here's the uncomfortable truth: self-awareness without accountability is just sophisticated self-deception.


For years, I could tell you exactly why I was stuck in certain patterns. I understood my triggers, recognized my mistakes, and had a whole psychological framework for my behavior. And you know what changed? Nothing. Because knowing isn't the same as doing! 🤷‍♀️


In this video, I'm breaking down the difference between self-awareness (observing your patterns) and accountability (actually changing them). I'm sharing the moments when I had to face the fact that I was the common denominator in situations I kept complaining about- from one-sided professional relationships to holding impossible standards in friendships.


This isn't a feel-good video about "being kind to yourself."


It's about the ego-threatening work of looking in the mirror & admitting: "I'm the reason this keeps happening." And then actually doing something about it.


If you keep finding yourself in the same situations with different people, if you're tired of observing your life instead of changing it, if you're ready to stop getting credit for just "recognizing" your patterns- this one's for you!

Five Lessons From Five Years of Building From Zero | Episode 57

Hey everyone! In this video, we talk about the five most uncomfortable but transformative lessons I've learned over five years of building from zero. These aren't feel-good motivational quotes you'll see on LinkedIn - they're the raw, messy truths that actually changed how I operate in the world. We dive deep into why consuming self-development content can become mental masturbation, how to treat major life decisions as experiments instead of permanent commitments, the painful but necessary skill of letting go, why progress feels like you're going insane, and how to work with fear instead of against it. If you're in your 20s or 30s and tired of surface-level advice, this one's for you! :)

I'll share the real reason I had to change the name (spoiler: it involves a lot of confusing emails), what From Zero is really about, and why I'm excited to document this entire journey with you.

  3. What to expect from the podcast and newsletter going forward

PWAK: Why I Build Everything in Public (And You Should Too) | Episode 55

In this episode, I'm getting real about why I choose to share my work, failures, and half-baked ideas before they're "ready."

I dive into my journey from engineering newbie to podcast host, why I started The Marketing Woman Podcast with zero credibility, and how it evolved into @The 360° Marketing Show. I talk about the brutal days when posts get 12 likes, the imposter syndrome that never really goes away, and why "ready" is just a lie we tell ourselves.

But I also share the unexpected opportunities, meaningful messages, and genuine connections that came from building transparently. Because here's the thing- most people only show you the highlight reel, but the real magic happens in the messy middle.

If you've been sitting on an idea, waiting to feel qualified, or wondering if anyone would care about your journey, this one's for you. Sometimes the best thing you can share isn't your expertise, it's your confusion, your questions, and your process of figuring it out.

The destination isn't the point. The journey is the point. And when you build in public, you get to take people along for the ride.

PWAK: If you’re the one everyone calls with their problems… I learned this the hard way! | Episode 54

If you're the one everyone turns to… this one's for you.

In this video, I open up about what it really costs to be the ever-reliable friend. From constantly showing up for others to realizing it became a performance rooted in approval, I share the identity shift no one claps for, & why learning to preserve your energy is the real growth. If you've ever felt like you're carrying everyone but yourself, this might hit home.

PWAK: These 5 Career Questions Changed How I Think About My Future | Episode 53

VIDEO ONLY ON YOUTUBE! “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” Yeah... I hate that question too.

In this episode , I walk you through 5 career questions that have actually helped me find clarity, when nothing else did (very recently!). These aren’t vision board prompts. They’re practical, reflective, and brutally honest :)


If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or just done with cookie-cutter career advice, this one’s for you.


Let’s pivot the way we think about success.

04:06 – Question 2: What kind of decisions do I want to own?

05:46 – Question 3: What did I tolerate in my last role that I won’t anymore?

07:13 – Question 4: What career experiments am I willing to run next?

09:10 – Question 5: If I could rewrite everything next year, what would I do today?

PWAK: How to Actually Self-Reflect (Without Drowning in Overthinking) | Episode 52

In this episode, I break down the science and structure behind real self-reflection. Not journaling for dopamine. Not spiraling in your notes app.


We’ll talk about how your brain forms loops, why most “reflection” is just rumination, and how to build a system that helps you notice, reframe, and reroute patterns.


Whether you’re stuck in a cycle or just tired of your own BS, this is where the pivot starts! :)

PWAK: How to Live for Yourself (Not the Algorithm) | Episode 51

VIDEO ONLY ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@PivotwithAnushaKannan

In this episode, I unpack why so many of our life choices, career paths, personal brands, even daily habits, are actually performances we never meant to audition for. From a childhood scrapbook to social comparison theory, I walk through how identity gets shaped by others' expectations, and how to start making decisions that are truly yours. If you've ever felt like you're living for the algorithm, the resume, or someone else's version of success, this one's for you! :)


⏰ T I M E S T A M P S ⏰

00:59 – Why Most of What We Chase is Arbitrary

→ Job titles, brands, relationships = rehearsed performances.

→ The importance of questioning why we do what we do.


01:40 – Social Comparison & Validation Loops

→ Psychology of comparison: Social Comparison Theory.

→ How Instagram & LinkedIn metrics hijack your self-worth.


02:32 – Group Pressure & Conformity

→ Solomon Asch experiment on conformity.

→ Why we say yes when we don’t mean it.


03:35 – Dopamine, Rejection & the Brain

→ UCLA studies: likes = reward center.

→ Rejection triggers the same pain centers as physical harm.


04:36 – The Cost of Not Standing Out

→ Everyone wants to stand out, but no one wants to be different.

→ The snooze button metaphor for self-betrayal.


05:27 – Identity is a Performance

→ Judith Butler, Goffman, & performative identity.

→ How we shape ourselves based on external input.


06:13 – Masks We Wear in School, Work & Social Media

→ Impression management from job interviews to Instagram.

→ Building a brand vs. being a person.


07:10 – Social Media & the Performance Trap

→ Lower self-esteem, higher comparison.

→ Wanting to be different while conforming = contradiction.


07:47 – Personal Story: The Bar & Social Pressure

→ Shirley Temple story.

→ Small decisions reveal deep patterns of self-abandonment.


08:25 – We Become the Roles We Play

→ Butler’s theory beyond gender.

→ Repeated behavior creates our reality.


08:53 – Performative Decisions in Education & Career

→ School rankings, 1% obsession, toxic achievement metrics.

→ Your job shouldn’t define your self-worth.


11:02 – The Iron Cage of Modern Work

→ Max Weber’s warning.

→ When high-status roles leave you empty.


12:39 – Authentic vs. Performative Decision-Making

→ The long-term emotional impact of chasing what looks good.

→ Aligning choices with values, not optics.


13:48 – Real Confidence Comes from Intrinsic Worth

→ People with boundaries & self-trust vs. people chasing applause.

→ The power of not fearing being misjudged or failing.


14:23 – Self-Discrepancy Theory: Actual vs Ideal vs Ought Self

→ Living for the “ought” self = anxiety.

→ Moving closer to your ideal self requires letting go of others’ expectations.


15:40 – The Pivot to Authenticity

→ Why life isn't about fitting in—it's about being seen.

→ Letting go of conformity is liberating, not lonely.


16:02 – How to Start Living for Yourself

→ Question every default.

→ Realign decisions with what you value, not what’s rewarded.


16:32 – Authenticity as a Daily Practice

→ As Brené Brown puts it: let go of who you think you should be.

→ Keep showing up as your actual self—imperfect but real.

PWAK: I’m scared I’ll give it my all… & still fail | Episode 50

In this episode, I wanted to talk about something I’ve felt deeply, maybe you have too.

That feeling where the fear of failure isn’t about the outcome, it’s about what that outcome might confirm about you.

I talk about the real reason ambitious, self-aware people freeze at the edge of their potential, & why failure isn’t just about performance, but identity!

We’ll talk through brain science, emotional loops, & the quiet stories we’ve internalized about not being enough.

If you’ve ever held back, played small, or told yourself “it doesn’t count because I didn’t really try”, this one's for you.

FROM ZERO WITH ANUSHA KANNAN
I almost gave up: Why you lose motivation (and how to get it back) | Episode 43

I almost gave up. Seriously. And if you’ve ever felt like your motivation just vanished—this episode is for you.

Ever wonder why you start something so excited, only to lose steam halfway through? Turns out, motivation isn’t just about wanting it badly enough—it’s about how your brain works.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:
💛 The science of motivation—why dopamine controls your drive to act
💛 Why willpower is a myth—and what actually works instead
💛 How to stay motivated even when you don’t feel like it
💛 The tiny brain hacks that help you push through self-doubt
💛 What to do when you want to quit (but know you shouldn’t)

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, unmotivated, or frustrated with yourself—this is your wake-up call. Let’s stop relying on “feeling like it” and start training our brains to stay driven.

🎧 Hit play now & let’s get into it.

If you feel behind in life, this one’s for you! | Episode 42

Feel like everyone else has their purpose figured out except you? Let’s break that myth. In this episode, we’re talking about why you don’t need a perfectly clear purpose right now, what neuroscience says about figuring things out in your 20s, and how real people (even the successful ones) took the long, messy route to purpose. You’re not lost; you’re just in the part where it doesn’t make sense yet.
