But behind the scenes, she was trapped in an abusive relationship, living in fear, and hiding the truth from everyone, including herself.Neeta takes us back to the pivotal moment on New Year's Eve in 2011 when she finally admitted to herself that she was in a toxic marriage. That night, she made the life-altering decision to walk away, leaving behind the illusion of success and stepping into the unknown. In this raw and emotional conversation, she opens up about the fear, shame, and self-doubt that kept her stuck for so long—and the courage it took to break free.From rebuilding her life from scratch to immersing herself in personal growth, stand-up comedy, and improv, Neeta shares how saying yes to the unknown led her to a purpose greater than she ever imagined. Now a best-selling author, emotional health advocate, and global speaker, she inspires others to turn their pain into power.If you've ever felt stuck in a life that looks good on paper but feels completely wrong inside, this episode is for you. Neeta's story is a testament to the strength it takes to start over—and the magic that unfolds when you do.Send us a text message. We'd love to hear from you!

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 And what's burning for you?We are diving deep into the art of release—letting go of the outdated, overworked, hustle-obsessed version of ourselves and stepping into something softer, more intuitive, more… feminine.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.To receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co

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.To receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co

For us high-achievers, we often think of resilience as pushing through, powering on, and handling it all. But what if true resilience isn't about white-knuckling your way through hardship—but about allowing yourself to soften, heal, and bounce forward instead of just back?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, author of That Sucked, Now What?, to talk about what it really takes to move through life's hardest moments. Dr. Neeta's story is one of profound loss—losing her mother, father, and brother before she turned 19—and the journey she took to rebuild herself while navigating perfectionism, high-achiever pressure, and cultural expectations.But this isn't just about survival. It's about rewriting the way we think about resilience, breaking generational cycles, and learning how to meet life's challenges without burning ourselves out in the process. We talk about redefining strength, breaking generational patterns, and the tension between raising resilient kids while also protecting them from pain.
