Alright, loves—this one is going to ruffle some feathers, and I am HERE for it. We’re diving deep into the murky waters of toxic femininity and how healthy masculine energy can actually help stop these patterns dead in their tracks.

If you’ve ever found yourself playing the manipulation game, feeling entitled, being passive-aggressive, or taking instead of receiving, you might just be living in toxic femininity without even realizing it. But don’t worry—I got you. We’re not here to shame, we’re here to elevate.

This episode is all about owning our patterns, reclaiming our feminine power, and understanding the role of a strong masculine presence. I even get personal about my own journey, the influence of my co-pilot in life, and how a truly healthy masculine partner creates the ultimate safe space for a woman to step into her full feminine.

Get ready to have some real talk, no fluff, and maybe even recognize a few patterns that need to be left in the past. Let’s get brave.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• A bold, no-BS breakdown of toxic feminine traits and how they show up in your life 

• How healthy masculine energy can help break toxic cycles

• Real talk on why so many of us struggle to receive (and how to change that!) 

• The difference between entitlement and true feminine magnetism 

• How to recognize toxic dynamics in relationships and family patterns

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We are diving deep into the art of release—letting go of the outdated, overworked, hustle-obsessed version of ourselves and stepping into something softer, more intuitive, more… feminine.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. And yeah, I’m spilling the tea on why moving to Dubai opened my eyes to how America gets connection all wrong. ☕️✨

Let’s get into it, loves! 💖

What you'll get out of this episode… 

Real friendships thrive on shared experiences and mutual support.

Transactional ties drain; authentic ones nourish.

Your energy attracts your tribe—be the friend you seek.

Deep connections take time, trust, and vulnerability.

The loneliness epidemic? It’s real—and social media “friends” aren’t the cure.
