Hey loves, welcome back to The Brave Table! Today, we’re dismantling a major myth in the world of personal growth – the ‘good vibes only’ mentality. While it’s great to stay positive, I’m here to remind you that we need to feel ALL of our emotions to truly grow. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of emotional contrast. Yes, you can feel sadness, rage, grief, AND joy at the same time – and that’s beautiful! I’ll also be sharing how to navigate the darker emotions that most of us tend to avoid, why they are just as important as the light, and how to transmute them in a healthy way.

Get ready for some juicy tools to work through your anger, feel your grief, and embrace your full range of emotions – all while still celebrating life’s joy. If you're someone who’s tired of the toxic positivity trap, this one’s for you!

What you'll get out of this episode…

Embrace your darker emotions to grow, transforming grief, anger, and sadness into peace and joy.

Setting time to feel and release your emotions through journaling, dancing, or screaming is powerful.

Your body stores emotions in specific organs

Joy requires sadness; resilience comes from embracing both.

Embrace the paradox—it's okay to laugh and cry at once!

All right, loves, welcome back to The Brave Table ! It’s March, the month of new beginnings, rebirth, and, let’s be real—shaking things the hell up. Today, I’m asking you a question that might just crack open a part of you that’s been waiting to be set free: What’s alive for you? And what’s burning for you? We are diving deep into the art of release—letting go of the outdated, overworked, hustle-obsessed version of ourselves and stepping into something softer, more intuitive, more… feminine. Yep, we’re flipping the script on leadership, success, and how we navigate life’s biggest transitions. And loves, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own journey—how saying yes to a TEDx talk with just three weeks’ prep rocked my world, how my Ayurvedic healing and biohacking obsession as a mama is expanding, and why I’m finally embracing a slower, more spacious way of being. If you’ve been feeling stuck, if you’re craving a shift but don’t know where to start, or if you just need permission to pause —this episode is for you. So, grab your chai (or matcha, I won’t judge), settle in, and let’s get into it. What you'll get out of this episode… Self-check-ins are essential for growth and transformation. True leadership comes from trust, intuition, and softness—not doing more. Feeling stuck means growth is coming. Releasing the old is necessary for stepping into a new version of yourself. Learning to ask for help isn’t weakness—it’s an act of bravery and self-awareness.

Alright, Brave Table fam — buckle up, because today we are cutting through the wellness noise and getting straight to the juicy truth about your health. I’m sitting down with my girl Dr. Chiti Parikh, and this is the episode your doctor probably doesn’t want you to hear. We’re talking why your green smoothie obsession might actually be bloating you, how your stress, your schedule, and even your thoughts are literally toxifying your body, and why you NEED to detox (but not in the bougie spa way — think ancient science meets modern life). Dr. Chiti’s got degrees for days — MD, functional medicine, Ayurveda, acupuncture — but what I love most? She’s not about that elitist wellness vibe. Her clinic at Cornell is insurance-based (yes, you read that right — real integrative care that regular people can actually afford). She’s here to shake up the system and show us how to brave our health — with intention. If you’re tired, inflamed, bloated, or just straight-up confused by all the health noise, this one’s for you. What you'll get out of this episode… Meal timing, or chrono-nutrition, could matter more to your health than what you eat. Detoxing isn’t a luxury — it’s giving your body space to heal. Everyday toxins — from shampoo to containers — quietly harm your health. Women need unique fasting rules — hormones change everything. Own your health — ask better questions and treat the root.

Hey Brave Table fam! 💕 It’s your girl, Dr. Neeta, coming in hot with an episode that’ll have you side-eyeing your friendships and asking, "Is this real or just a vibe-for-hire?" 🙅‍♀️ This week, I’m breaking down why so many of us are stuck in surface-level connections, how to spot the energy vampires from the soul fam, and why building real relationships requires more heart and less hustle.

Alright, Brave Table fam—let’s talk BURNOUT . Not just “I need a nap” tired, but the kind of exhaustion that makes you question every life decision, especially if you're a mama juggling it all. If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, and running on fumes, I SEE YOU. I’ve been there. From uprooting my entire family across the world to hitting the deepest level of fatigue post-book launch, I had to find a way to recharge my nervous system—without another meditation or journaling exercise. And guess what? I did. Today, I’m sharing the underrated, ancient, and completely life-changing wellness hacks that restored my energy, deepened my sleep, and helped me show up for my family and my business—without burning out. Get ready for some real talk, some science-backed remedies, and maybe even a little TMI (because, well, detoxing is REAL). Let’s dive in! What you'll get out of this episode… Your nervous system rules everything. Constant stress leads to burnout. Castor oil is a powerhouse for detox, gut health, and sleep. Magnesium fuels stress relief and hormone balance. Getting enough? Virechana, an Ayurvedic cleanse, clears toxins, parasites, and stagnation.

Alright, Brave Table fam—buckle up, because today’s episode is a special one! I am sitting down with my baby brother, Vinay , who has completely transformed his life and his morning ritual—by giving up caffeine (gasp, I know!). From chugging five to six cups of coffee a day to developing Loom Superfoods, a caffeine-free powerhouse drink loaded with Mayan nut, adaptogens, and protein, Vinay’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. But this episode isn’t just about coffee—it’s about answering the call when your health (and intuition) nudges you to pivot. We talk about breaking bad habits, braving change, and why so many people stay stuck in comfort zones instead of leaping into their true potential. Oh, and we’re spilling all the tea (or should I say, Loom) on why most coffee drinkers are unknowingly wrecking their sleep, gut health, and energy levels. So if you’ve ever thought about cutting back on caffeine (or just making bold moves in your life and business), this one’s for you. What you'll get out of this episode… Caffeine disrupts gut, energy, and sleep cycles. Growth comes from discomfort—Vinay moved cities to avoid stagnation. Health is wealth—Vinay's high blood pressure at 30 was his wake-up call. Big problems fuel big solutions—Vinay turned caffeine struggles into a business. To pivot, ignore the noise, embrace uncertainty, and go for it.

Hey, Brave Table fam! 💥 Buckle up because today, we’re diving deep into friendships, relationships, and the big question: Should friendships be easy? We’ve all heard it—if it’s not effortless, maybe it’s not meant to be, right? WRONG. In a time where we’re more “connected” than ever yet lonelier than before, we need to redefine what real friendships look like and question whether we’re truly investing in our people. I’m sharing the science of lifelong friendships, the reality of evolving relationships, and why deep, messy, and even conflicted friendships are the ones that stand the test of time. We’re also peeling back the layers of business besties vs. real besties—because let’s be honest, not everyone clapping for you online is showing up for you in real life. So grab your coffee, matcha, or green juice, and let’s get BRAVE about friendships, real human connection, and building a sisterhood that actually lasts. What you'll get out of this episode… Friendships that last over 7 years are more likely to be lifelong. The loneliness epidemic is real, even in a hyper-connected world. Making friends as an adult is different—proximity and shared experiences matter. Conflict in friendships is NOT a red flag—it’s a sign of depth. Online friends vs. real-life friends—are we confusing the two? Business besties ≠ real besties—if they wouldn’t show up for you in a crisis, rethink their place in your life. The “expiration date” on friendships—when to hold on and when to let go. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Welcome to The Brave Table 01:30 - Should friendships be easy? 03:45 - The shocking truth about long-term friendships 06:20 - The loneliness epidemic & why connection feels harder today 08:50 - Moving abroad & redefining friendships 10:45 - Childhood vs. adult friendships—why they feel different 12:30 - College years: The last time friendships felt effortless? 15:20 - Making friends as an adult—what’s changed? 18:00 - Are your online friendships real? The tough question we need to ask 20:00 - Conflict in friendships—why it’s NECESSARY 23:30 - Business besties vs. real besties—don’t get it twisted 25:00 - Who’s REALLY going to be there for you? 26:30 - The brave challenge: Who do you want to deepen your friendships with?
