What if being “the strong one” was never strength… but survival?In this solo episode of The Brave Table, Dr. Neeta dives deeper into the hidden emotional burden many eldest daughters carry — especially in immigrant families, high-stress households, and environments where children were forced to grow up too fast.From becoming the peacekeeper and emotional regulator of the family… to struggling with hyper-independence, guilt, over-functioning, and burnout later in life — this episode unpacks the trauma patterns that often go unseen.This isn't just about family roles. It's about nervous systems, identity, and the invisible emotional labor so many women have normalized for years.

You've built something.You're good at it.People know you for it.So why does it feel like… Is it no longer enough?In this episode, Neeta sits down with Christine Chang to unpack what it really looks like to pivot, not just professionally, but personally.From walking away from a successful photography career to stepping into filmmaking, Christine shares the emotional reality of starting over, redefining identity, and choosing alignment over comfort.This is a conversation about courage, not the loud kind, but the quiet decisions that change everything.

What if discovering who you are… changes everything you thought you knew?In this breathtaking and soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with the extraordinary Princess Sarah Culberson — adoptee, activist, and actual Sierra Leone royalty — to explore what it means to discover who you really are, and what you do with that truth once you find it.Sarah grew up in West Virginia, navigating identity, race, and belonging as a Black adoptee in a white family. Then a DNA test led her to the one thing she never expected: a father, a royal title, and a war-torn country that was waiting for her. This isn't a fairy tale. It's a story of radical courage, deep self-reckoning, and what it looks like to carry a crown you never asked for — and show up for it anyway.What you'll get out of this episode…What it actually felt like to discover she was Sierra Leone royaltyGrowing up Black and adopted — and the long search for belongingThe moment she chose responsibility over retreatHow identity shapes the way we love, lead, and liveWhat it means to bridge two worlds without losing yourselfHer royal ritual for resilience (you'll want to write this one down)Connect with Princess SarahIG / @iamprincessscSierra Leone Rising / This Episode is Sponsored by Chai TonicsPrincess Sarah's story is a reminder that the most powerful rituals are the ones that ground us.

I recorded this episode three years ago. Before I'd experienced the greatest traumas of my life. I make different meaning from the message now. The idea of recovering from a trauma or tragedy is different. To recover seems like getting back to “normal.” Back to where you were. But with my experience now, this is impossible. It's like having adult kids and wanting to get back to when they were little. Impossible. You must recover to a new existence. My guest is Dr Neeta Bhushan. When Neeta was 16 her mom died. When she was 17 her brother died. Then when she was 19 her Dad died and she became caregiver for her younger brother. She “recovered” and started a successful cosmetic dentist business. She married and then divorced from an abusive marriage. She finally found some real recovery and later founded the Global GRIT Institute and cofounded the Dharma Coaching Institute. She has a very large following and a popular podcast, The Brave Table, where people tune in to hear her guidance on dealing with the hardships of life. I met Neeta after she published her book, That Sucked. Now What?: How to Embrace the Joy in Chaos and Find Magic in the Mess. We cover deep territory in regards to what resilience and recovery really is and how it differs for each of us, depending on...a lot.

In today's episode of OncLive On Air®, Jonathan Trent, MD, PhD, and Neeta Somaiah, MD, sat down to discuss the evolving role of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), as well as the importance of identifying both initial drivers of disease and secondary resistance mechanisms when approaching frontline treatment selection and overall therapeutic sequencing.Trent is a professor of medicine, associate director of Clinical Research, and director of the Sarcoma Medical Research Program at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, in Florida. Somaiah is a professor and chair of the Department of Sarcoma Medical Oncology in the Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.Drs Trent and Somaiah began their discussion by highlighting the rarity of GIST, underscoring the importance of evaluation at specialized sarcoma centers and comprehensive molecular testing to identify driver alterations.Somaiah then reviewed the molecular landscape of GIST, noting that approximately 70% to 80% of tumors harbor activating mutations in the KIT gene, while additional cases involve rarer alterations such as BRAF or NTRK fusions. Of note, resistance to imatinib (Gleevec) frequently emerges through secondary mutations in KIT exons 13 or 17, which can influence sensitivity to subsequent TKIs.ctDNA testing may help detect these resistance mechanisms, particularly at progression or when tissue is limited, enabling clinicians to refine sequencing strategies, both experts explained. They also discussed how mutation-informed approaches may guide treatment selection, including emerging strategies such as combining sunitinib (Sutent) with bezuclastinib to address resistant clones involving KIT exon 13 or 17 alterations.This content is a production of OncLive; this OncLive On Air podcast episode is supported by funding, however, content is produced and independently developed by OncLive.

We're living in a time where “protect your peace” has become a mantra, and cutting off family is often labeled as healing. But what if that story is incomplete?In this deeply honest solocast, I explore the rise of family estrangement, the viral “no contact” culture, and the uncomfortable questions we're not asking about loneliness, healing, and emotional resilience.I share my own lived experience with estrangement — including a period of no contact — and what I learned on the other side. This is not about shaming boundaries or glorifying toxic relationships. It's about nuance, courage, and truth.Because healing isn't always about walking away. Sometimes, it's about learning how to stay differently.What you'll get out of this episode… Why not all estrangement is healing — context mattersBoundaries don't have to mean disappearanceAvoidance and peace are not the same thingWhy healing often requires emotional stamina, not escapeHow relationships can be both triggering and transformativeWatch Oprah's episode on family estrangement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK7EJgILMIk This Episode is Sponsored by Chai TonicsGive the gift of ritual this holiday season with Chai Tonic Holiday Kits — nourishing Ayurvedic superfood chai blends made to bring calm, clarity, and slow-living energy into the new year.

Hey, Brave Soul

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” resultsWhat years of research, expert interviews, and joining online BII communities with 190,000+ women taught meWhat finally gave me the courage to book the explant surgery — and what I wish I knew soonerThe deep spiritual rebirth and reclaiming of my body that followedHow to choose the right explant surgeon and what every woman should know before surgeryThis Episode Is Sponsored by Health NagFeeling bloated, sluggish, or just off?
