354: Why Negative People Age Faster (And How to Protect Your Brain)

Ever catch yourself spiraling into a vent session — and suddenly everything feels heavier, darker, and more frustrating? What if I told you that complaining doesn’t just drain your energy — it can actually rewire your brain for more negativity, speed up your aging, and shrink the part of your brain responsible for memory and learning?

In this episode of The Brave Table, I’m diving deep into the hidden costs of complaining on your brain, body, and nervous system — and what you can do instead to return to presence, peace, and personal power. I’ll share the science behind how negativity loops form, the surprising effects they have on your health, and my top three rituals to break the cycle and reclaim your joy.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in frustration, judgment, or overthinking lately, this conversation is your invitation to shift your energy, stop watering the weeds, and start tending to your inner garden again.

This episode is an invitation into your own rebirth—and trust me, you’ll feel it.

    In this soothing solocast, I share the powerful connection between your physical space and your emotional well-being. As a mom and nervous system educator, I’ve learned firsthand how even the tiniest environmental shifts can change everything—from our mood to how we show up in our relationships.

    • Why cluttered or chaotic spaces signal danger to your brain—and how to stop the stress response

    • What a "calm corner" is (and how to create one in just 5 minutes)

    • The connection between beauty, sensory rituals, and emotional regulation

    • How your nervous system absorbs energy from your environment, especially as a mom

    • Daily grounding rituals that anchor your nervous system (without adding more to your plate)

    347: From Trauma to Truth: How Melissa Osorio Unlocked Her Past & Found Her Power

    What if the very memories that shaped your life had been hidden away by your brain—and one day, they suddenly returned?

    In this powerful and intimate episode, I sit down with author and mental health advocate Melissa Osorio, whose transformative journey has made waves in the world of psychedelic therapy and trauma healing. She is the visionary behind Hidden Memories: Discover What’s Blocking You From Life and Love, a memoir-meets-self-help-book that blends personal narrative with tools to help you explore the origins of your emotional patterns.

    We go deep into the layers of trauma, how it gets stored in the body, how psychedelics played a role in her healing, and why success alone will never be enough to fill the void of disconnection from self.


    What you'll get out of this episode… 

    • How trauma hides in the body—and how to know if you’ve suppressed childhood memories

    • Why Melissa didn’t remember her childhood until her 30s, and how ayahuasca changed that

    • The difference between trauma therapy and psychedelic therapy (and when to use each)

    • The unexpected role of sensual movement in healing emotional blockages

    • The truth about “overachieving” and why it often masks deep emotional wounds

    • What to consider before exploring psychedelic treatments for trauma

    • How Melissa’s family healed together after uncovering generational trauma

    345: The Ambition Trap: Why You’re Burned Out, Overachieving & Still Not Fulfilled with Amina AlTai

    What if everything you thought you knew about ambition was wrong? In this powerful episode of The Brave Table, Dr. Neeta Bhushan is joined by award-winning executive coach, leadership trainer, and author of The Ambition Trap, Amina AlTai. Together, they unpack the hidden wounds that fuel overachievement, the cultural and systemic pressures we mistake for personal failure, and how to redefine ambition as a source of healing and alignment rather than burnout.

    Whether you’re a high-achieving woman, a child of immigrants, or simply tired of chasing external validation, this conversation will shift how you view success, purpose, and your worth. Tune in for a liberating reframe on hustle culture, and discover how to lead from wholeness, not wounding.


    What you'll get out of this episode… 

    • The surprising reason your ambition might be hurting you more than helping

    • How to spot the 5 core emotional wounds that keep high-achievers stuck in burnout

    • What it actually looks like to lead and live from wholeness, not trauma

    • A real conversation about how identity, culture, and systems shape your hustle

    • The quiet ways women burn out while still appearing “successful” on the outside

    • Why we confuse contentment with complacency—and how to embrace both ambition and peace

    342: I Gave Up Coffee for 30 Days—Here’s What Actually Happened

    What if the secret to unlocking better sleep, glowing skin, and emotional clarity was as simple as swapping your morning brew?

    In this deeply personal solocast, I share the raw truth behind what happened when I gave up coffee for 30 days. No preachy detoxes, no trendy biohacking—just the real-life physical, emotional, and energetic shifts I experienced by making one small, intentional change. From the withdrawal symptoms (hello, rage naps!) to rediscovering ancestral rituals through chai, this is a story of presence over pressure, and nourishment over numbing.

    If you're burnt out, wired, and always reaching for your next fix, this episode is your invitation to reset.


    What you'll get out of this episode… 

    • The emotional, physical, and hormonal signs that it might be time to rethink your caffeine habits

    • What really happens to your energy, sleep, and mood when you quit coffee cold turkey

    • Why chai is more than a drink—it’s an ancestral nervous system ritual

    • The Ayurvedic ingredients (like saffron, cinnamon & cardamom) that support glow, gut health & calm

    • The truth about coffee addiction that no one talks about: identity, not just chemistry

    • How I replaced the “push productivity” mindset with presence and still got more done

    • A free downloadable chai ritual calendar to help you create your own slow mornings (get yours at ⁠⁠neetabhushan.com/chaitonics⁠⁠!)

    340: The Castor Oil Mistakes Everyone Is Making (And How to Fix Them)

    What’s thick, golden, has gone viral on TikTok—and may be the ultimate Ayurvedic detox tool?

    In this solocast, I’m diving deep into the real science, ancient wisdom, and modern misuse of castor oil. From nervous system support and gut health to glowing skin and hormone balance, castor oil has been praised for it all. But here's what most people don't know: using it wrong can actually do more harm than good.

    I break down the 5 most common mistakes I see people making, plus the right way to apply it (hint: it's not what you think). Whether you're curious about detoxing, reducing inflammation, or hacking your nervous system naturally—this episode is your full castor oil crash course, Brave Table style.

    • Why castor oil is not just an internet trend—but an ancient healing tool
    • The real science behind its benefits for detox, digestion, and the nervous system
    • The top 5 mistakes most people make when using it (especially on social media)
    • How to apply it the Ayurvedic way for safe, effective results
    • How to choose high-quality castor oil (and what ingredients to avoid)
    • Whether or not it really grows hair—and what to use it for instead
    • Why using heat is the key to unlocking its full potential
    • Tips for using castor oil with kids, for hormone balance, or as a nervous system ritual

    What if the secret to designing your best life was already coded in your DNA?

    This is a must-listen if you’re craving clarity in a major decision, feeling stuck in a career or relationship, or curious about how to parent more consciously. Let this episode be your permission slip to stop forcing what isn’t working—and finally start living in energetic alignment.


    What you'll get out of this episode… 

    • Why Human Design isn’t “woo”—it’s your personal blueprint for life

    • How to discover your energy type and what it reveals about your boundaries, burnout, and decision-making style

    • What to do when your kids, partner, or team have different energy types than you

    • How to stop forcing decisions and start responding in alignment with your body’s inner cues

    • The surprising ways Human Design can help you hire, lead, and build a values-aligned business

    • Erin’s own journey of trusting her gut (literally) to create a business, family, and book that reflect her truth

    • The difference between knowing your design—and actually living it
