What if the weight you’re carrying isn’t just physical… but emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal?

In this Brave Table conversation, I sit down with the fiercely honest Nikita Phulwani. She’s an entrepreneur, creator, and founder of Mumkin, who lost 53 kilograms yet discovered the real transformation had nothing to do with the scale.

Together, we explore body image, trauma, boundaries, feminine energy, addiction to food and approval, and what it truly means to choose yourself. Because this episode isn’t about weight loss; it’s about self-respect, identity, and radical reinvention.

If you’ve ever struggled with your reflection, your habits, or your worth, this conversation is for you.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Why weight gain can be emotional baggage, not just food

• The mindset shift that helped Nikita lose 53kg in 13 months

• How people-pleasing, rejection, and loneliness show up in the body

• Why self-respect is deeper than beauty rituals

• The power of community, environment, and daily discipline in transformation

• How to heal your relationship with food, sleep, and self-worth

• What true feminine energy and self-trust actually look like

Are you constantly navigating conversations where you feel like you’re walking on eggshells? Or maybe you find yourself questioning your reality after talking to someone who can't seem to take accountability, ever?

In this episode, I dive into the uncomfortable (but necessary) topic of how to talk to emotionally immature people — whether it’s a partner, parent, friend, or colleague.

Through the lens of personal growth, communication skills, and emotional intelligence, I’ll walk you through what emotional immaturity really looks like, how to protect your peace without cutting everyone off, and powerful ways to respond without abandoning yourself.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Why emotional immaturity is so triggering

• Brave phrases to set boundaries from a grounded place

• The power of walking away (without guilt)

• Why you don’t have to win the argument

• How to hold space without abandoning your truth

If you run away from conflict or think you’re “just not a good negotiator,” this episode will change everything.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with world-renowned negotiator and mother, Lousin Mehrabi, who takes us on a journey of what negotiation really means. Spoiler: it’s not about boardrooms, billion-dollar deals, or getting your way. It’s about navigating life’s toughest moments, from parenting a child with a terminal condition to asking for what you need in love, life, and leadership.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• The heartbreak of parenting through unimaginable circumstances and finding purpose in the pain

• How negotiation isn’t about conflict; it's the way out of it

• Why women hesitate to call themselves “negotiators” (and how to reclaim that)

• Real strategies for everyday negotiation

• How to negotiate when emotions run high

If you’re starting the year already tired, anxious, or behind… this episode is for you.

Because here’s the truth no one is saying out loud: you cannot manifest from panic, exhaustion, or burnout. And in 2026, the real flex isn’t doing more — it’s feeling safe in your body.

In this solocast, I’m unpacking why nervous system regulation is the foundation for everything you want to create in 2026 and 6 nervous system practices you can return to daily, especially when life feels overwhelming.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Why rested & regulated is the new rich

• The hidden reason most New Year’s resolutions fail

• How burnout blocks creativity, motivation, and manifestation

• The difference between self‑regulation and co‑regulation

• 6 simple nervous system reset rituals you can use on a daily basis

• Why doing less can actually help you create more

What if your next chapter didn’t look like anything you’ve seen before… but felt more you than ever?

In this empowering episode, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur Daniela Baumann, who went from bankrupt single mom to global businesswoman and founder of over 20 pole dance studios across Europe — all while challenging outdated norms around female confidence, self-worth, and reinvention.

This conversation is a celebration of starting over, rising stronger, and rewriting the rules of success at any age. If you've ever felt stuck, undervalued, or like you’ve outgrown the life you’re living, Daniela’s story will ignite something deep within you. 

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• How Daniela went from single mom to serial entrepreneur after being told she was “crazy” for chasing her dream

• Why 50 might just be the best time to rewrite your story

• Mindset shift to reinvent at any age

• Why women win bigger when they choose collaboration over competition

• How Daniela built a global business empire rooted in feminine power, community, and courage

• A reminder that your past doesn’t define you, but your next decision does

Hey Brave Table fam! We’re celebrating 400 episodes, and I’m going all in with you.

This isn’t your average highlight reel. It’s the real story of what it took to build my latest company — from scratch — while navigating motherhood, business pivots, product failures, and a whole lot of late-night decision-making (with chai in hand, of course).

In this raw and real solocast, I’m walking you through the exact breakdown behind the scenes of launching Chai Tonics, my new wellness CPG brand. You’ll hear how I fired 4 formulators, got rejected 27 times before landing a dream book deal, and what I’ve actually learned from 400 episodes of this show.

This episode is for every woman with a vision, especially if you’re building something new, wondering if it’s all worth it, or navigating the tension between ambition, motherhood, and identity.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• The biggest mindset shift that helped me move from idea to launch

• How to make decisions when everything feels uncertain

• The power of “letting go” to receive more

• Why success isn’t a straight line (and what to do when things go wrong)

• The real cashflow & time challenges no one talks about

• What’s next for The Brave Table, Chai Tonics, and this community

Ever feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough” all at once? Or like you have to justify every decision, especially when pivoting careers, starting something new, or saying no to what no longer feels aligned?

In today’s power-packed episode, I sit down with my soul sister and multi-hyphenate powerhouse Hitha Palepu. She’s the CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals, author, podcaster, and mama of two, and this conversation will give you the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

Whether you're in a season of letting go, rediscovering your voice, or stepping into your next level…this one’s for you.

Because you don’t have to quit everything to chase something new. You don’t have to pick one path forever. And you sure as hell don’t need to justify wanting more.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Hitha’s personal journey with identity burnout and how she reclaimed her joy

• Why you don’t need to wait for clarity to take action

• A tactical reframe for following effort over passion

• The “Magic 20” goal-setting hack to test any pivot or dream

• Tools for navigating motherhood, career evolution, and bold reinvention

Feeling the pull for a new chapter, but not sure what it looks like yet?

In this solo episode, I’m bringing you five of the most powerful, soul-shifting conversations we had on the podcast in 2025 on what it really takes to manifest your dream life in 2026.

These aren’t just highlight reels. They’re real stories from brave women who’ve walked through reinvention in all its messy, magical forms. And inside each one is a pivotal shift—a truth bomb, a lesson, a moment—that just might be what you need right now.

Whether you're navigating a career pivot, a breakup, a rebirth, or just a quiet craving for more... this is your invitation to shed who you’ve been and step into the woman you’re becoming.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Why reinvention starts with doing something bold before you feel ready

• How to build confidence from your identity (not in spite of it)

• Why most people mistake reinvention for crisis

• What happens when you stop chasing goals and start receiving life

• The real reason why you feel stuck

What if stepping back from your career isn’t failure, but the most ambitious decision you’ll ever make?

In this deeply validating and paradigm‑shifting conversation, I sit down with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause, to dismantle everything we’ve been taught about ambition, worth, and identity after motherhood.

Neha gives language to a season so many women live in silently: the in‑between. The pause. The questioning. The reinvention.

If you’ve ever felt torn between who you were and who you’re becoming, this episode will meet you right where you are.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

• Why wanting more time with your children doesn’t make you “less driven”

• How career pauses can actually become reclamation, not regression

• The guilt, shame, and societal pressure ambitious women face when they slow down

• How to answer the dreaded question: “So… what do you do?”

• Why redefining success is the most radical move you can make

• How to make this choice strategically, not reactively
