Number 2: "I Turned Myself Into a Machine": How to Make Peace with Control, Masculine Energy, and the Body You Tried to Perfect — with Hannah Lord
In this episode, Hannah opens up about the eating disorder she lived with for years — one she says had nothing to do with food or how she looked, and everything to do with control. She walks us through what led to her hospitalization, the body dysmorphia that kept her from seeing the truth in the mirror, and the long, harder-than-expected psychological recovery that followed. We also get into why so many of us are outsourcing our inner lives to AI, why dating and love feel so much harder right now, and what it actually means to rebuild a relationship with your own masculine and feminine energy. WHAT YOU'LL LEARNWhy Hannah calls anorexia "the most masculine of all disorders" — and what control had to do with itWhat body dysmorphia actually distorts, and why she "didn't see herself in the mirror"The difference between physical recovery and the much harder psychological recovery that followedWhy so many of us reach for AI, dating apps, and checklists instead of doing the deeper work of really knowing ourselvesHow to rebuild a healthy relationship between your masculine and feminine energy, without swinging all the way to either extreme⚠️ This episode discusses eating disorders and hospitalization.

Number 3: How a Mother's Fight to Heal Her Son Built Australia's #1 Wellness Brand: Marriage, Motherhood & Building KAILO — with Kristy Morris & Dr Oz
What if healing wasn't something you booked, but something you built? In this inspiring episode of The Brave Table, Dr. Neeta Bhushan sits down with Kristy Morris, the visionary CEO and founder of The KAILO Group, and her husband Dr. Oz Dedehayir, KAILO's Director of Innovation & Export, to explore the powerful story behind building Australia’s #1 Wellness Brand of 2024. Kristy and Dr Oz didn’t set out to create a global wellness movement. Their journey began with a deeply personal mission: finding better natural and integrative treatments for their son. That search led them to uproot their family, explore new approaches to health, and discover a gap in Australia’s wellness landscape that Kristy knew needed to be filled. That vision became KAILO, home to KAILO Medispa, KAILO Nutrition, KAILO Events, and the KAILO Summit. Together, Kristy and Dr Oz share what it takes to build a purpose-driven business as husband and wife, navigate co-founding a company while raising three children, and stay connected through the challenges of entrepreneurship. In this episode, they discuss Kristy’s personal autoimmune journey, the courage to turn a family challenge into a global mission, the importance of science-backed wellness, and what the wellness industry still gets wrong about true healing. ✨ What You'll Learn In This EpisodeThe personal health journey that inspired Kristy to create KAILOHow Kristy and Dr Oz balance being co-founders, co-parents, and life partnersThe challenges and rewards of building a global wellness brand togetherWhat Kristy’s autoimmune journey taught her about health and healingWhy true wellness goes beyond trends and focuses on lasting transformationTune in for a powerful conversation about resilience, family, entrepreneurship, and the courage to build something meaningful from life’s biggest challenges. 🔗 Connect with Kristy Morris & Dr OzKAILO: www.kailo.ae — 20% off with code NEETA20Instagram: @kailo_ausInstagram: @kailo_medispaInstagram: @kristymorris1979LinkedIn (Dr Oz): linkedin.com/in/ozgur-dedehayir-4546701☕ This Episode Is Brought To You ByCHAI TONICS — A daily Ayurvedic ritual to come back to yourself.

This isn’t the highlight reel or the perfect expat story. It’s an honest reflection on identity, marriage, motherhood, and the personal transformation that happens when you step away from everything familiar. Dr. Neeta opens up about the unexpected grief of leaving, the challenges of rebuilding a sense of self, the impact of the move on her eldest daughter, and how reconnecting with South Asian roots and a slower pace of life changed the way she sees identity, worth, and belonging. She also shares the truth about what this journey has done to her marriage, the beautiful and difficult moments, and what she would tell herself before stepping onto that plane. ✨ What You'll Get From This Episode:The unexpected grief of leaving and why it surprised someone who wanted the changeWhat the eldest daughter wound looks like when you are far away from the people who shaped itHow reconnecting with South Asian roots transformed the way she sees identity and self-worthThe real impact of a major life change on marriage and familyThe advice she would give herself before making the biggest move of her lifeA powerful conversation about courage, change, motherhood, identity, and discovering who you are after leaving everything familiar behind.
