Welcome back, Brave Table fam! Today, I’m sitting down with the radiant Dr. Marian Alonzo, Medical Chief of the renowned wellness sanctuary, The Farm at San Benito. From being diagnosed with a serious heart condition as a child… to pioneering integrative healing for thousands—Dr. Marian’s story is nothing short of miraculous. 

In this powerful conversation, we peel back the layers on what truly creates healing—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. We dive into the intersection of ancient healing wisdom, cutting-edge science, and the often-ignored power of cycles, energy, and emotional flow.

If you’ve ever questioned the limits of Western medicine or felt like true health means something deeper—this is your episode. 

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• A new perspective on why we get sick and how to approach true healing

• How to integrate Eastern and Western medical approaches

• The role of the divine feminine, emotional flow, and energetic cycles in wellness

• Rituals for dignified aging and healing through life transitions

• Tools for living a more soul-aligned, vibrant, and present life

• How The Farm can transform your health, and your family’s

Do you hit that 3PM wall and feel like your brain’s gone on vacation without you? You’re not broken or lazy—your body is just trying to tell you something.

In today’s solocast, I’m diving into the real reasons behind the afternoon slump. (Hint: it’s not just about needing more coffee.) I’m sharing the science, the self-awareness, and the nervous system wisdom behind that foggy, cranky, mid-day crash—plus the exact ritual I use to reset my energy and feel ALIVE again.

It’s time to trade the sugar crash for a grounded comeback. This episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and reclaim your power—one mindful sip at a time.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Discover the real reason you feel foggy, anxious, or unfocused in the afternoon

• Insights on why quick fixes don’t work—and how to create sustainable midday habits that support your mental health

• A powerful reframe on how slowing down can actually boost productivity, presence, and clarity

• Ayurvedic wisdom on adaptogens, herbs, and rituals that nourish your focus and regulate your nervous system

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.

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

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

Welcome to a very special solocast of The Brave Table — your soul’s holiday survival kit, if you will. 😉

If the holidays make you feel anxious, overstimulated, or like you’re juggling too much — mama, this one’s for you. Whether you're navigating transitions, going through grief, or just trying to keep your cool in chaotic family dynamics, you're not alone. I've been there.

This one’s especially for my busy mamas, my heart-led givers, and anyone navigating a messy middle. Grab your tea, light a candle, and join me in redefining what nourishment means this season.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• How to regulate your nervous system in overstimulating environments

• Why the “season of giving” can actually be depleting — and how to stop that cycle

• What to do when you're triggered by family conversations

• How to protect your peace (and your energy!) while still showing up fully

• Simple but powerful rituals that anchor you into presence — even when everything around you feels like a whirlwind

What if everything you thought you knew about healing… was only half the story?

In this powerful and raw conversation, I sit down with Frank Elaridi—a 4x Emmy-winning journalist who traded red carpets and breaking news for emotional clearings and energy healing. 

Frank has gone from covering world disasters and celebrity interviews to helping people release the unseen blocks that keep them stuck—mentally, emotionally, and even physically.

If you’ve ever felt the nudge that there’s more—more to your inner world, more to your purpose, or more to healing—this episode is the gentle (and spicy!) push you need.

Whether you're a healer, curious about energy work, or still skeptical, this one’s for you. 

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• How Frank left journalism to follow his soul’s calling

• The biggest myths around healing (and what actually works)

• A breakdown of Frank’s signature clearing technique

• The link between emotional pain and physical illness

• Real-life stories of transformation from his practice

• How YOU can awaken your own inner healer—today

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

Hey Brave Table fam! In today’s powerful episode, I sit down with the radiant and brilliant Nidhi Pandya, Ayurvedic Doctor and creator of the Inner Climate® Framework, to completely shake up how we think about health, healing, and wholeness.

We talk about what it really means to feel well — beyond the green juices, supplements, or even "self-care" — and how ancient Vedic wisdom is the missing link to the burnout, confusion, and over-medicalization many of us are facing.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Why symptom-chasing often makes healing harder

• What the Inner Climate® actually is — and how to shift yours

• How electricity, productivity culture & processed food disconnect us from our natural rhythms

• The Ayurvedic difference between treatment and true healing

• Why your body is not the enemy

• How to create a lifestyle that supports your energy instead of stealing it

• The power of pausing, digesting your emotions, and trusting your inner wisdom

• A beautiful reframing of what health really means in today’s world

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

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
