365: The Wake-Up Call Every Overachieving Woman Needs with Suneera Madhani Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

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 Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

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://bit.ly/trychaitonics with code BRAVE for 15% off.

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

362: What Building a Wellness Brand Taught Me About People-Pleasing, Burnout, and the Lies the Industry Tells Women Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

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.

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

360: Why “Protecting Your Peace” Is Making Us Lonely: What I Learned About Community After 7 Months in the UAE Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

Are your boundaries secretly making you lonely?

In this solo episode of The Brave Table, I’m breaking down the dark side of “protecting your peace” — and why our obsession with canceling plans, staying in, and isolating under the guise of “self-care” might actually be harming our mental and emotional health.

After living in the UAE for seven months, I saw firsthand how community and shared rituals are the glue that keeps us grounded — and why the Western obsession with radical independence is making us lonelier than ever. This episode is a heartfelt call to reclaim connection, reject fake ingredients (in food and relationships), and build a life — and a village — that truly nourishes you.

What you'll get out of this episode…

The surprising ways “protecting your peace” may actually deepen your loneliness
The shocking health consequences of chronic isolation
The powerful community lessons I learned while living in the UAE
The inside story of why I built Chai Tonics, and what it took to make it truly clean and functional
A perspective shift to help you build real connection and intentional rituals

359: How to Heal Anxiety Naturally with Dr. Ellen Vora Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

Anxiety is not just in your head—it’s in your body.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Ellen Vora, a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. Ellen shares how most of what we call “anxiety” is actually the body’s way of signaling imbalance—whether from blood sugar, sleep, hormones, or unprocessed emotions. Together, we unpack how to distinguish between false anxiety (avoidable and physiological) and true anxiety (aligned with your deeper purpose)—and how to heal from both.

This conversation will shift the way you think about mental health, and leave you with tangible tools to reclaim calm, clarity, and balance.

What you'll get out of this episode…

The hidden link between your blood sugar and your anxiety spikes
Why your gut may be the real cause of brain fog, worry, and panic
The two types of anxiety you need to know about—and how to address them differently
How modern habits like scrolling at night are rewiring your nervous system
Simple shifts you can make today to prevent spiraling into stress
The surprising way anxiety might actually guide you to your purpose
