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
About Dr Sood & Laura Bowden
Dr. Aditya Sood is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in Breast Implant Illness (BII) explants with over a decade of experience. He’s on a mission to help women heal from symptoms most doctors dismiss.
Laura Bowden is a leading BII patient advocate whose powerful healing journey sparked decades of activism for safer breast implant practices and compassionate care.

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” results
What years of research, expert interviews, and joining online BII communities with 190,000+ women taught me
What finally gave me the courage to book the explant surgery — and what I wish I knew sooner
The deep spiritual rebirth and reclaiming of my body that followed
How to choose the right explant surgeon and what every woman should know before surgery

What if everything you thought you knew about perimenopause… was wrong?
In this Brave Table episode, I’m sitting down with the powerhouse herself — Dr. Mariza Snyder — bestselling author, passionate advocate for midlife women, and a leading voice in women’s hormone health.
We go deep into what no one teaches us about our 30s, 40s, and 50s as women: the hormone shifts, the hidden symptoms, the brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, and why most of us are silently suffering. This is more than a health conversation; it’s a midlife movement.
Dr. Mariza drops real, raw, and research-backed truths on what it means to own your energy, reclaim your rhythm, and finally understand your body’s messages. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, gaslit, or confused by your changing body — this episode will validate, empower, and equip you.
What you'll get out of this episode…
The real, unfiltered truth about perimenopause, and why most women don’t see it coming
The top signs your hormones are shifting (and what most doctors miss)
How to reclaim your energy, metabolism, and mental clarity
A 5-week reset to support your hormones naturally
How to break free from midlife shame, fear, and the “decline” narrative
Why perimenopause is actually a powerful invitation to reinvent yourself
Simple tools to support your brain, body, and mood as you age
How to start hard conversations with your partner about your changing body

What if your closet is silently sabotaging your success?
In this raw and empowering convo, I sit down with my very own image consultant, Danieli Niéri, to unpack the deeper truths behind our clothes, our closets, and how we show up in the world.
Danieli is not your average fashion stylist—she’s a soul-first style whisperer who believes the way we dress reflects how we feel about ourselves and teaches others how to position themselves with authenticity, sophistication, and purpose through clothes. And in this episode, we dive into why intentional image isn’t vanity— it’s an act of self-respect.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by clothes, disconnected from your style, or just… uninspired in your skin — this one’s for you. Danieli is a gem, and I’m so lucky to have her on my team (and now yours!)
What you'll get out of this episode…
Why your closet might be sabotaging your energy
How online shopping (hi, Amazon) is numbing your intuition
What to do before you buy anything else
Why having a “smart closet” can transform your entire life
How your visual identity affects your nervous system and confidence
Why fast fashion and online shopping are secretly draining your confidence
The difference between a personal stylist and an image consultant

We dive into her journey from Shark Tank inventor to a soulful children’s book author, and explore how her healing path—through bankruptcy, divorce, and advocacy—birthed the EQ KiD Books series. Juls opens up about breaking generational cycles of abuse, the moment she reclaimed her voice, and how she's using storytelling to help parents and kids foster agency, self-regulation, and emotional safety.
Whether you’re a parent, survivor, or someone on a path of purpose, this episode will move you to your core.
What you'll get out of this episode…
Healing the father wound while pregnant
Creating the “My Body, My Rules” book after surviving trauma
What every parent must teach their child today
What reparenting looks like in real time with her daughter
Reclaiming her voice after sexual assault

Hey Brave Table fam—today’s solo is one that’s been stirring in my heart for a while.
In this episode, I’m finally owning something I’ve never admitted publicly in over 300 episodes... I have ADHD. Yep. Your girl has spent years juggling a neurodivergent brain while building businesses, raising two littles, writing books, and trying to keep it all together. And maybe you’ve been doing that too—silently.
So today I’m sharing the real tools and rituals that help me stay grounded, how I’ve redefined “productivity” as a founder and mama, and how you can build a life around your brain instead of trying to fix it. We’re talking rituals over routines, brain dumps, chai therapy, and why the pressure to be someone you’re not is way more exhausting than the chaos itself.
This is your permission slip to stop shaming your brain and start honoring it.
What you'll get out of this episode…
Why you don’t need to fix your brain—you just need to understand it
The real reason ADHD is emotional (not just logical or behavioral)
Why hyper-productivity doesn’t mean you’re “okay”
My 3 go-to rituals that anchor me without overwhelming me
The surprising way chai became my nervous system healer
How to thrive with ADHD, especially if you’re a multitasking mama or founder
What happens when you finally give yourself permission to slow down

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty, feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep you get, or just wondering why your body feels… off — then this episode is your wake-up call.
I sat down with the powerhouse, Dr. Jenna Burton — a medical doctor, personal trainer, strongwoman, longevity expert, and aesthetic medicine practitioner — and we went ALL IN on what your body is actually trying to tell you when you’re bloated, burned out, anxious, or aging faster than you’d like. From peptide therapy to hormone testing, libido crashes to cortisol chaos — we talk about the real root causes and why most traditional medicine completely misses the mark.
This is about reclaiming your vigor, your glow, your confidence, and your damn aliveness — with science, soul, and serious honesty.

How to know if your fatigue is hormonal, emotional, or nervous system-related
Why normal blood test results don’t mean your body is fine
The truth about peptides, longevity supplements, and regenerative therapies
How to talk to your doctor about functional vs. conventional medicine
How your libido is a signal — not a shame trigger

Hey loves — in today’s juicy episode of The Brave Table, I’m joined by the unapologetic queen herself, Caroline Stanbury — Real Housewives star, real estate mogul, mother of 3, and host of Uncut & Uncensored. And whew, we go there.
We talk about what it really takes to reinvent yourself at any age, how to reclaim confidence after divorce, why marrying a younger man still raises eyebrows (and why she couldn’t care less), and how to stop playing small in a world that’s uncomfortable with women being bold AF. Caroline doesn’t hold back — she shares the raw truth about fame, motherhood, finances, and what it means to live life on your own damn terms.
If you’ve ever felt the pull to start over, shake sh*t up, or redefine what’s “normal” — this episode is your permission slip.
What you'll get out of this episode…
Why Caroline believes age is irrelevant when it comes to love or ambition
The shocking truth about what it’s like to marry someone 18 years younger
How to unapologetically reinvent yourself — even after reality TV fame & divorce
Why women must stop asking for permission to be bold, wealthy, and loud
How to deal with online hate and judgment — and still keep showing up
The emotional cost of conforming to expectations… and how to break free
Real talk on motherhood, finances, and owning your power in midlife
The one mindset shift that helped Caroline reclaim her life on her terms

Hey Brave Table fam! This week, I’m switching seats and landing in the hot seat — interviewed by the incredible Suneera Madhani, CEO & founder of Stax Payments and host of the CEO School podcast. We’re flipping the script and going raw, real, and DEEP.
We’re talking identity loss, motherhood, burnout, and the journey of unlearning the “good girl” programming. I share parts of my story I haven’t revealed before — including how chasing perfection nearly cost me everything, and how reclaiming my worth required letting go of who I thought I had to be.
Suneera and I go there: the grief, the growth, the guilt of choosing ourselves, and why healing in public is one of the bravest things we can do.
Grab your chai, find your cozy spot, and come join us in this heartfelt, vulnerable, and oh-so-necessary conversation.

Hey loves, this episode is so close to my heart. I’m sharing something deeply personal and raw — the messy, magical, behind-the-scenes story of how I launched Chai Tonics, my new Ayurvedic wellness tea brand. This isn’t just about tea — it’s about reclaiming ritual, honoring ancestral wisdom, and finding home within ourselves, one cup at a time.
I spill the truth behind building a CPG brand while mothering two babies, moving cross-country, writing a book, and healing from burnout. If you’ve ever had a dream on your heart that felt too messy, too late, or too scary to pursue, this is your permission slip. Welcome to the real, unfiltered journey of how ritual saved me… and how it can save you too.

Hey loves — today’s episode is so close to my heart. I’m pulling back the curtain and taking you inside a labor of love that’s been years in the making… the official launch of Chai Tonics, my first-ever wellness product made for busy mamas, high-achievers, and women like you and me who crave more calm, focus, and grounded rituals in our lives.
But this isn’t just about a product. I’m also walking you through the truth about what’s actually in many of the so-called “natural” wellness blends out there (and how I found out the hard way), what happens when your nervous system gets hijacked — by your partner, your kids, your team, or the chaos around you — and how to reclaim your peace through simple, powerful rituals.
This is a raw and honest share about the journey of creating something from scratch… and why I believe this tonic can be a sacred daily moment of nourishment and clarity for so many of us.
Mama, your nervous system deserves a pause. The Chai Tonics Ritual Starter Kit was made to help you reset with blends that support focus, calm, and energy—without the coffee crash. Create your sacred moment at https://chaitonics.com with code BRAVE for 15% off.

What “borrowed energy” is… and why it’s draining you more than you think

Why I fired four formulators before finding the right one
The Ayurvedic ingredients that changed my brain, focus, and energy
