A former dentist turned global speaker, Neeta’s work blends psychology, ancient wisdom, and resilience from her own life experiences. She's also a mom, wellness lover, and chai enthusiast.

What if being “the strong one” was never strength…

 but survival?

In this solo episode of The Brave Table, Dr. Neeta dives deeper into the hidden emotional burden many eldest daughters carry, especially in immigrant families, high-stress households, and environments where children were forced to grow up too fast.

From becoming the peacekeeper and emotional regulator of the family… to struggling with hyper-independence, guilt, over-functioning, and burnout later in life — this episode unpacks the trauma patterns that often go unseen.

This isn’t just about family roles.

 It’s about nervous systems, identity, and the invisible emotional labor so many women have normalized for years.

🧠 In this episode, we explore:

– what “parentification” actually means

 – why eldest daughters become emotional caretakers

 – the immigrant family dynamic & survival mode

 – hypervigilance, over-functioning & nervous system stress

 – why receiving help feels uncomfortable or unsafe

 – how the “fixer” identity forms in childhood

 – the emotional cost of always being needed

 – intergenerational trauma & breaking inherited patterns

 – why your worth is not tied to how much you carry

 – learning to choose peace without guilt

I’m joined today by Dr. Sandy Zanella, a physician, certified lifestyle medicine doctor, mindfulness educator, yoga teacher, and award-winning author of Happy Yogis.

From brain research at UCLA to meditating on the living room floor with her kids every morning, Sandy is redefining what true healing actually looks like — and it’s not what you’ve been taught.

In this episode, we unpack the six pillars of lifestyle medicine that can prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease, why the “silent epidemic” of nervous system dysregulation is showing up in our kids, and the tiny, free rituals that can change your family’s health for generations.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, over-medicated, or just quietly exhausted… this one is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and choose a different kind of medicine.

What if discovering who you are… changes everything you thought you knew?In this breathtaking and soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with the extraordinary Princess Sarah Culberson — adoptee, activist, and actual Sierra Leone royalty — to explore what it means to discover who you really are, and what you do with that truth once you find it.Sarah grew up in West Virginia, navigating identity, race, and belonging as a Black adoptee in a white family. Then a DNA test led her to the one thing she never expected: a father, a royal title, and a war-torn country that was waiting for her. This isn't a fairy tale. It's a story of radical courage, deep self-reckoning, and what it looks like to carry a crown you never asked for — and show up for it anyway.What you'll get out of this episode…What it actually felt like to discover she was Sierra Leone royaltyGrowing up Black and adopted — and the long search for belongingThe moment she chose responsibility over retreatHow identity shapes the way we love, lead, and liveWhat it means to bridge two worlds without losing yourselfHer royal ritual for resilience (you'll want to write this one down)Connect with Princess SarahIG / @iamprincessscSierra Leone Rising / This Episode is Sponsored by Chai TonicsPrincess Sarah's story is a reminder that the most powerful rituals are the ones that ground us.
