380: What They Don't Tell You About Menopause & Midlife with Tamsen Fadal

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

379: Breast Implants Made Me Sick — Dr. Aditya Sood & Laura Bowden Expose the Truth About BII

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.

The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan
378: I Removed My Breast Implants After 10 Years—Here’s Why (And What Happened Next)

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Sneak peek into The Perimenopause Revolution — the book and movement every woman needs

373: Why Your Closet Is Sabotaging Your Success (No One Talks About This) with Danieli Niéri

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

372: What Happens When You Leave Your Body? The Truth About Astral Projection with Jade Shaw

If you’ve ever been curious about out-of-body experiences, astral travel, or what lies beyond our physical form — this episode is for you!

I’m sitting down with the amazing Jade Shaw, a global expert in altered states of consciousness, to explore how OBEs (Out-of-Body Experiences) are not only real but can be powerful tools for healing, self-discovery, and transformation.

Jade shares her very real, very vivid experience of leaving her body for the first time, and how that moment cracked her entire reality wide open. We go deep into how to navigate these experiences, the neuroscience and spiritual layers of OBE, and how YOU can begin connecting with your expanded self.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • How to tell the difference between lucid dreaming and OBEs

  • Why some people encounter “beings” or loved ones on the other side

  • The connection between trauma, disassociation, and spiritual awakening

  • Navigating awakenings without losing your mind (or your grounding)

  • How to start experiencing OBEs

  • Why your nervous system needs just as much care during spiritual growth

370: Founder, Mama, ADHD? How to Stop Shaming Your Brain & Start Thriving

Big news, Brave Table fam! We’re a finalist in the Signal Awards 2025 in the Conversation Starter category. If this podcast has sparked courage, healing, or meaningful conversations in your life, I’d love your support—click ⁠⁠here to vote⁠⁠ and help us bring this award home! 🧡

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.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • 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

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

365: The Wake-Up Call Every Overachieving Woman Needs with Suneera Madhani

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.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • When “success” starts to feel misaligned
  • The power of reinvention
  • Why the hardest seasons teach us the most
  • Snapping, guilt & the motherhood meltdown cycle
  • Rituals to heal our nervous system
  • What it means to be BRAVE in your current chapter

364: How I Created a Wellness Tea Brand That Actually Heals

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.

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 you'll get out of this episode… 

  • What sparked the launch of Chai Tonics

  • The Ayurvedic ingredients in chai that changed my mood, focus, and hormones

  • Why ritual is more important than ever for women juggling everything

  • How nostalgia, grief, and heritage became the foundation of this wellness brand

  • Behind-the-scenes truth of launching a CPG product (it’s not all pretty labels!)

  • What to do when you want to give up on your dream — and how I kept going

  • How to claim your ritual and reset your nervous system with one cup

362: Why I Created Chai Tonics (And What Most Wellness Brands Won’t Tell You)

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 you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The surprising ways your nervous system gets hijacked (and how to get it back)

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

  • The hidden hormone disruptors in so-called “clean” products

  • Why I fired four formulators before finding the right one

  • The Ayurvedic ingredients that changed my brain, focus, and energy

  • A behind-the-scenes look at building Chai Tonics from the ground up

  • How to build micro-rituals that anchor you when life feels overwhelming
