The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

Talk about personal growth and self-development is everywhere nowadays, and you’ve probably been hearing about all the different modalities you can use to better understand who you truly are. Things like Gene Keys, Human Design — but what do they mean, and what’s the difference? Today on The Brave Table, we’re going to demystify some of these concepts with the only person in the world (!!) to be t...

A more loving world — isn't that the dream? Especially when tensions are running high, and it seems like we're sinking deeper into duality. Well, what if more love were possible, starting with you? What if you could discover how to find blessings in everything, even in the chaos? What if you could free yourself from the labels and conditioning that keep you separate from others and instead embody...

“So, what do you do for a living?” Do you draw a blank when someone asks you this question? Not because you don’t know how to say what your career is (which is usually what they want to know), but because you know you are SO much more than that. Rather than associating yourself with what you do, you want to express who you ARE — and who you are is multidimensional, multi-passionate, and someone wh...

Every day, you can choose to start preparing for the life you want. Even when it hasn't taken physical form... yet! And what's even better is that you get to decide how you do it — on your terms. By making micro shifts in your current life and embodying the vision you hold for your future, you start to call in the highest version of yourself; you also take the lead and show others what's possible...

Are you aware of your triggers? Noticing what sets you off is one of the first steps in self-awareness; it also shows you what you still need to heal. Though it can be hard to recognize at times, in every challenging situation you've faced, every person who has ever annoyed you, every hardship and setback — you've played a role.  Now, to be clear, I am NOT dismissing anyone who has endured traumat...

Relationships are one of the most important aspects of our lives. They have the power to help us grow, heal, learn and discover so much about ourselves. They also have the ability to crush us. Relationships can magnify our greatest fears. They mirror the parts of ourselves we’ve neglected or ignored. They can leave us feeling so vulnerable and heartbroken when someone leaves us, cheats on us, or d...

There's a lot of talk about self-development and personal growth, and if you've been following me for a while, you know how important these topics are to me. But loves, there is only so much we can do ourselves. One of the greatest teachers for our growth is our relationships. Yes, relationships of all kinds, but today I'm going to talk specifically about romantic partnerships and how they serve a...

Your beliefs create your reality. Yup — it’s true. So those crappy, negative, or limiting ones you have? You might not even realize it, but they're holding you back. Often they start in your childhood and stagnate in your subconscious. And for all your mamas out there, you might even be passing them on to your kiddos, too.  But what if you could eliminate them? The problem most people face with ov...

Do you struggle with friendships? If so, you're not alone. It's one of the most common challenges I hear from people. Life gets so busy that you don't get to spend quality time with those you love. Or you recognize how much you've grown, and the company you keep hasn't. Maybe you're just sick of the status quo, shooting the same old sh*t, gossiping, going to restaurants, and you're looking for way...

Achieving optimal health goes well beyond how we treat our physical bodies. Of course, a good diet and movement are still crucial pillars of well-being, but just as vital is taking care of your emotional and mental health. There’s a feedback loop between the physical and emotional bodies, known as the mind-body connection. It shows that we can’t address one area of our health without impacting ano...

Are you the type that needs to always be in control? Do you avoid trying new things because you're scared of failing? Or, because you're just flat-out terrified of change? And if you do muster up the courage to leap, how resilient are you when it doesn't turn out as planned?  I used to believe that resiliency was about being rigid and tough. Now, I think it's the opposite; it's about being flexibl...

Are you being vulnerable with people you trust about how you *really* feel? One of the biggest reasons I started The Brave Table was to spread awareness about mental and emotional health. When we open ourselves up to those brave, uncomfy convos with others, we begin to heal and help remove the stigma associated with mental health challenges.  That’s why it’s so important to create meaningful conne...

How do you handle life when things don’t go your way? Whether with your significant other, a friend, or while working on a project—when it all goes to sh*t, what's your initial reaction? Do you withdraw or go into victim mode and say, "why me"? Do you keep yourself busy to avoid the pain?  We all have our coping mechanisms during challenging moments— both the "small t" traumas and the "big T" ones...

Sometimes when you’re deep in the trenches of loss, depression, and grief, it’s hard to see yourself out of it. Everything becomes blurry, and the next thing you know, you’re just going through the motions, unaware of how quickly you’re spiraling out of control.  But, if you’re lucky, you’ll have quality friends around you who will intervene and remind you of your light. That’s what happened to to...

Alright, Brave Table fam, I announced last week that I’ve been working on my fourth book, That Sucked. Now What? In this episode, I share the journey of birthing this book, why I wrote it and why it came to be during this season of life, and everything I hope for you to get out of it… like dealing with rejection and trusting the diving timing of your life, transitions and being brave to suck at so...

Sometimes, life hits you all at once. It's challenging enough to go through ONE sucky human moment, find the courage to face it, and learn how to fly forward. But when it seems like all the suck is piling on at once, some heavy-duty healing has to happen. Going on that healing journey is no joke, but it's necessary. And wow, Brave Table fam, there's no one better to exemplify the strength needed t...

Did you know that when you have a huge desire for something, you’re equally creating the energy of fear around not having it?

Hey, Brave Table fam, welcome back. You all know one of my favorite topics is examining the effects of our family lineage, especially when it comes to growing up in Asian immigrant families.

When we heal the experiences we’ve been through w...
