The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan
392: You’re Doing New Year’s Planning Wrong—Here’s What Actually Works

This isn’t another “set your goals for 2026” episode. This is the ritual I’ve done every single year for over a decade. It’s the very practice that helped me rebuild my life after heartbreak, divorce, and self-doubt… and guided me into joy, reinvention, and purpose.

In this solocast, I walk you through the exact year-end reflection and vision casting ritual I do — with myself and with my partner. If your soul feels full, exhausted, or like it needs permission to breathe… this one’s for you.

Let this ritual be your year-end exhale — and your bold new beginning.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • Why the holidays bring emotional overwhelm

  • What is a year-end ritual (and why it matters)

  • My step-by-step yearly audit 

  • How to vision-cast the life you actually want

  • Why this practice is more powerful than a vision board

Is your home secretly making you sick? In this episode, I sit down with the magical and deeply intuitive Kristin Kilmer — eco-lifestyle designer, wellness expert, and sacred space curator — to talk about something we rarely give enough attention to… the healing power of your home.

Kristin has worked at the intersection of biophilic design, environmental consciousness, and energetic wellness for over 20 years — helping clients turn their living spaces into literal sanctuaries of healing, creativity, and clarity.

We dive deep into the invisible toxins (EMFs, mold, clutter, toxic materials) that disrupt our nervous systems, and how to create environments that support our evolution.

Whether you're renovating your house or just clearing out a corner of your room — this episode is your invitation to reclaim your space as sacred.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • Why design is more than aesthetics

  • What most homes are missing (that hurts your nervous system)

  • The hidden health dangers most people ignore

  • EMFs, mold & energy: the wellness trio

390: Need a Reset? Where to Go When Your Nervous System Is Begging for a Break

What happens when you step away from the chaos of your everyday life… and into a healing sanctuary rooted in nature, energy, and ancient wisdom?

In this solocast, I’m taking you inside my experience at The Farm at San Benito—a transformational wellness and healing retreat in the Philippines where I got to reset my nervous system, cleanse deeply, and rediscover what it means to feel whole.

This episode is a journey through biohacking, nature medicine, emotional clearing, and what true rest really looks like. I’ll share why forest energy matters, what happened to my digestion, how sound healing unlocked deep grief, and the surprising lessons that only stillness and presence can bring.

If you’ve been feeling burnt out, disconnected, or simply curious about how to return to yourself—this one’s for you.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The science and energy behind healing in nature

  • Shinrin-yoku & how “forest bathing” boosts immunity

  • My full-body reset through food, sound healing & silence

  • Why we avoid true rest—and how to embrace it

  • How The Farm integrates eastern, western, and energetic healing

387: Your Story Is Your Power: Building a Personal Brand That Heals & Inspires with Brielle Cotterman

If you’re afraid your story is “too much,” this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. Too raw. Too heavy. Too real.

My guest this week, Brielle Cotterman, believed that for years. Until she realized her story—surviving attempted murder and domestic violence—wasn’t a liability. It was her superpower.

Today, Brielle is a multi-7-figure publicity expert, President of CEO School, founder of The Influential Leader Agency, and the voice behind some of the world’s most powerful thought leaders. But her journey started with a decision to stop pretending… and start speaking.

In this powerful episode, Brielle opens up about her journey surviving attempted murder, navigating the shame of telling her story, and how she now helps clients turn their lived experiences into global movements, bestselling books, and seven-figure brands.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • You don’t have to be “ready”—you just have to be real.

  • Why the story you’re hiding might be the one that inspires millions.

  • Authenticity in branding isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being human.

  • If you want a book deal, speaking tour, or global media features—it starts with one brave share.

  • Media can be a tool to build your brand, not just celebrate it.

  • Thought leadership starts with focus, not being everything to everyone.

386: Why Ayurveda is Your Greatest Business Hack with Arjita Sethi

Hey Brave Table fam—this episode is a soul-stirring convo that’ll have you rethinking how you build, how you live, and how you lead.

I’m sitting down with my beautiful friend, serial entrepreneur & Ayurvedic disruptor Arjita Sethi, who is redefining what success looks and feels like—through ancient wisdom and cutting-edge tech.

From building a tech company while mothering a newborn… to burning out from chasing external metrics… to creating Shaanti, an AI-powered ritual platform rooted in Ayurveda—Arjita takes us behind the curtain of what it really means to lead with peace and presence in a world that rewards hustle.

We talk building $100M conscious businesses, AI as a tool for feminine leadership, Ayurvedic rituals for nervous system regulation, and the hard truths about startup life nobody wants to say out loud.

Whether you’re a founder, mama, spiritual seeker—or all of the above—this one’s for you.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • A wake-up call on why success without peace is still failure

  • The rituals Arjita uses to stay grounded while building empires

  • What no one tells you about being an immigrant entrepreneur

  • How to design your business to fit your nervous system (not the other way around)

  • Why scaling slower might actually be smarter

  • The mindset shift all women need to hear

385: What Miss America Never Told You: Colorism, Courage & Finding Love with Nina Davuluri

What happens when you're too dark to be Miss India... but not American enough to be Miss America?

In this deeply vulnerable and powerful episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with Nina Davuluri—activist, entrepreneur, and the first Indian-American Miss America. She takes us behind the scenes of her viral win, the backlash, and how colorism shaped her identity, her advocacy, and her new documentary COMPLEXion.

From growing up in a world that worshipped whiteness to dismantling billion-dollar beauty brands’ skin-whitening products, Nina doesn’t hold back. If you’ve ever felt not enough—too dark, too loud, too ambitious—this one’s for you.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The shocking moment that shaped Nina’s awareness of colorism

  • What really happened the night she won Miss America

  • The real cost of fitting into beauty ideals in Western and South Asian cultures

  • How Nina helped push major beauty brands like Unilever, L’Oréal, and Johnson & Johnson to drop or rebrand whitening products

  • Her advice for healing self-worth and reclaiming beauty on your own terms

  • How her relationship with her now-fiancé reminds us that true connection sees beyond appearance, fame, or ability

382: STOP Overcomplicating Mindfulness (Do THIS Instead)

Hey loves, in this tender solo episode, I’m sharing what’s been really going on behind the scenes—especially after our family’s big move to Dubai, raising two littles, and running a business in a fast-moving, go-go-go culture.

I found myself craving stillness, yet feeling like my nervous system was stuck in overdrive.

So today’s conversation is an invitation to redefine mindfulness. Not as another thing to check off your list… but as a series of small, sacred rituals that reconnect you to yourself, your breath, and your inner wisdom.

Because the truth is, you don’t need more hustle. You need more presence. You need to feel your life—not perfect it. Whether you're navigating burnout, juggling motherhood, or simply searching for a way to come back home to yourself, this one’s for you.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The real difference between a routine and a ritual

  • How to create your own morning mindfulness practice (without the pressure)

  • The 3 rituals I use to calm my nervous system every day

  • How to reframe mindfulness as a moment-to-moment practice

  • Why your nervous system deserves sacred time, not just scraps

  • Easy tools to reset—before your body screams for your attention

Welcome back to The Brave Table, my loves. Today’s episode is one of the most important conversations we’ve had around midlife and women’s health.

I’m sitting down with Tamsen Fadal—Emmy Award-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, and the unapologetic voice behind social media’s “midlife mentor” movement. After spending more than three decades as a beloved news anchor, Tamsen went through a shocking experience that changed everything.

Tamsen shares her raw and emotional journey of learning she was in menopause from her patient portal, and how that shocking moment became the catalyst for a movement to empower millions of women to reclaim their midlife health.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The shocking way Tamsen found out she was in menopause

  • The common symptoms women ignore (and what they’re really telling you)

  • Why women’s pain is so often dismissed by the medical system

  • What it really means to “midlife differently” (and why it’s your superpower)

  • How to talk to your doctor when they won’t listen

  • Tools to reclaim your identity, health, and radiance in this next chapter

379: Breast Implants Made Me Sick — Dr. Aditya Sood & Laura Bowden Expose the Truth About BII

Hey, Brave Soul 💛This one’s personal.

In this powerful episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with my very own explant surgeon, Dr. Aditya Sood, and breast implant illness (BII) survivor and advocate, Laura Bowden, for a raw, honest conversation about the shocking truth behind breast implants and what so many women wish they had known sooner.

For years, I was chasing answers. Why was I constantly exhausted? Why weren’t my rashes going away? Why did my body feel like it was shutting down? This conversation peels back the curtain on a hidden epidemic affecting thousands of women—many of whom are still being gaslit or misdiagnosed.

Whether you have implants, are considering them, or love someone who does, this is a must-listen. Let’s get into the truth that’s been buried for way too long.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The real risks of breast implants (that most doctors don’t tell you)

  • Why Breast Implant Illness is still controversial in mainstream medicine

  • How to know if you might be affected

  • What really happens during explant surgery

  • Why getting the capsules out could save your health

  • How to reclaim your health, power, and voice if you’ve felt ignored or dismissed


About Dr Sood & Laura Bowden

Dr. Aditya Sood is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in Breast Implant Illness (BII) explants with over a decade of experience. He’s on a mission to help women heal from symptoms most doctors dismiss.

Laura Bowden is a leading BII patient advocate whose powerful healing journey sparked decades of activism for safer breast implant practices and compassionate care.

378: I Removed My Breast Implants After 10 Years—Here’s Why (And What Happened Next)

Hey loves, this one’s raw. It’s tender. And honestly, it’s been a long time coming.

In this solo episode, I’m finally opening up about something I’ve been quietly navigating behind the scenes for years — my explant journey. Yep. Earlier this year, I made the incredibly personal (and powerful) decision to remove my breast implants after over a decade of living in a body that no longer felt like mine.

What started as a few random symptoms — fatigue, eczema, rashes, brain fog — turned into a full-on quest to understand what was really going on in my body. From mold toxicity to thyroid issues and being dismissed by doctors over and over… it wasn’t until I started listening to my own body’s whispers that I realized — something deeper needed healing.

If you’ve ever struggled with trusting your intuition, healing from something invisible, or feeling like your truth doesn’t fit into the medical mold — this is for you.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • Why I got implants in the first place (and what they meant to me back then)

  • The slow unraveling of my health, the gaslighting, and the “everything looks normal” results

  • What years of research, expert interviews, and joining online BII communities with 190,000+ women taught me

  • What finally gave me the courage to book the explant surgery — and what I wish I knew sooner

  • The deep spiritual rebirth and reclaiming of my body that followed

  • How to choose the right explant surgeon and what every woman should know before surgery

We go deep into what no one teaches us about our 30s, 40s, and 50s as women: the hormone shifts, the hidden symptoms, the brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, and why most of us are silently suffering. This is more than a health conversation; it’s a midlife movement.

Dr. Mariza drops real, raw, and research-backed truths on what it means to own your energy, reclaim your rhythm, and finally understand your body’s messages. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, gaslit, or confused by your changing body — this episode will validate, empower, and equip you.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The real, unfiltered truth about perimenopause, and why most women don’t see it coming

  • The top signs your hormones are shifting (and what most doctors miss)

  • How to reclaim your energy, metabolism, and mental clarity 

  • A 5-week reset to support your hormones naturally 

  • How to break free from midlife shame, fear, and the “decline” narrative

  • Why perimenopause is actually a powerful invitation to reinvent yourself

  • Simple tools to support your brain, body, and mood as you age

  • How to start hard conversations with your partner about your changing body

  • Sneak peek into The Perimenopause Revolution — the book and movement every woman needs

  • What adaptogens are and how they work

  • 3 common myths about adaptogens

  • How to use adaptogens to get your brain and mood back to normal

373: Why Your Closet Is Sabotaging Your Success (No One Talks About This) with Danieli Niéri

What if your closet is silently sabotaging your success?

In this raw and empowering convo, I sit down with my very own image consultant, Danieli Niéri, to unpack the deeper truths behind our clothes, our closets, and how we show up in the world. 

Danieli is not your average fashion stylist—she’s a soul-first style whisperer who believes the way we dress reflects how we feel about ourselves and teaches others how to position themselves with authenticity, sophistication, and purpose through clothes. And in this episode, we dive into why intentional image isn’t vanity— it’s an act of self-respect.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by clothes, disconnected from your style, or just… uninspired in your skin — this one’s for you. Danieli is a gem, and I’m so lucky to have her on my team (and now yours!)


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • Why your closet might be sabotaging your energy

  • How online shopping (hi, Amazon) is numbing your intuition

  • What to do before you buy anything else

  • Why having a “smart closet” can transform your entire life

  • How your visual identity affects your nervous system and confidence

  • Why fast fashion and online shopping are secretly draining your confidence

  • The difference between a personal stylist and an image consultant
