    412: The Masculinity Crisis No One Is Talking About with Robin Uthappa

    There’s a side of masculinity that we don’t talk about enough. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and former international cricketer turned transformational coach, Robin Uthappa. Together, we unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface for so many men today. Because what if the reason men struggle to open up… isn’t what we think? We explore the hidden layers of vulnerability, the roles men feel pressured to play, and why so many people feel disconnected even when they’ve “made it.” If you’ve ever struggled to express your emotions, felt misunderstood in your relationships, or wondered why success doesn’t always equal fulfillment… this one is for you. What you'll get out of this episode…  Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s courage in action The biggest misconception about men and emotions Why emotional safety is the gateway to real connection How to begin the process of healing The importance of sports for children’s development What happens when work becomes play Why success doesn’t guarantee happiness Connect with Robbie WEB / https://www.robbieuthappa.com  IG / https://www.instagram.com/robinaiyudauthappa  YT / https://www.youtube.com/@TheRobbieUthappa  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics 🌸 This Women’s History Month, celebrate your circle with the gift of ritual — buy 2 Chai Tonics and get 1 free.

    411: Eldest Daughter Syndrome: Why You Feel Responsible for Everyone

    If you’re the eldest daughter, you may have grown up being the strong one. The responsible one. The emotional stabilizer. The one who quietly held everything together. But what happens when the role you learned in childhood follows you into adulthood? In this solo episode, I’m unpacking something many women have felt but rarely had language for: emotional parentification and the invisible load eldest daughters carry throughout their lives. As an eldest daughter myself, I share the deeper psychology behind these roles and how we can break the cycle for ourselves and the next generation. If you’ve ever felt like the one who holds everything together but secretly wonders who is holding you, this conversation is for you. What you'll get out of this episode…  Why eldest daughters often become the emotional stabilizers of the family The psychology behind emotional parentification How childhood roles shape adult relationships and friendships Why eldest daughters tend to become high performers and over-givers The nervous system patterns that make rest feel unsafe How to stop confusing love with effort and over-functioning Ways to retrain your nervous system for joy, rest, and self-expression How to break these cycles for future generations This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics 🌸 This Women’s History Month, celebrate your circle with the gift of ritual — buy 2 Chai Tonics and get 1 free.

    410: The Hidden Cost of Constant Hustle with Serial Entrepreneur Ayda Shabanz

    What happens when you achieve the success you’ve been chasing… and still feel lost and burned out? In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with entrepreneur and investor Ayda Shabanz, a woman who built a $10 million property portfolio by 30 and exited multiple businesses by 40, yet found herself confronting something few people talk about: the emotional cost of success. Ayda’s story didn’t begin with privilege. From leaving home at 14 to building global businesses, Ayda shares the survival mindset behind her success, the hidden cost of high achievement, and how she’s redefining wealth through health, peace, and purpose. We also talk about our recent personal experiences with INUSpheresis, a cutting-edge blood filtration therapy designed to remove toxins, inflammation, and microplastics from the body, and its impact on our overall health and well-being.  What you'll get out of this episode…  The hidden psychological cost of high achievement Why so many successful women feel empty after “making it” How survival mindset can drive entrepreneurial success The identity crisis that often follows a major business exit How chronic stress can lead to inflammation and autoimmune issues What is INUSpheresis detox therapy and its impact Why true wealth has nothing to do with money Connect with Ayda  WEB / https://theayam.com  IG / https://www.instagram.com/aydashabanz  Learn more about INUSpheresis at Dr. Ozone Clinic Use code BRAVE for 10%  WEB / https://drozoneclinic.ae  IG / https://www.instagram.com/dr.ozone    This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics 🌸 This Women’s History Month, celebrate your circle with the gift of ritual — buy 2 Chai Tonics and get 1 free.

    408: You’re Losing Muscle Every Year (Here’s How to Reverse It) with Holly Perkins

    Are you afraid of “bulking up”? Do you think lifting heavy will make you look masculine? Or maybe you’re exhausted… and can’t imagine adding one more thing to your plate? In this week’s Brave Table conversation, I sit down with strength expert Holly Perkins to unpack a truth most women have never been taught: With every passing birthday… you are losing muscle. If you’ve ever said: “I’m already tired.” “I don’t want to get bulky.” “I just want to feel strong again.” This episode is your wake-up call. Because muscle isn’t about aesthetics; it’s medicine. What you'll get out of this episode…  Why strength training is NOT about bulking The hidden reason you’re feeling fatigued How muscle optimizes testosterone and estradiol naturally The truth about inflammation and nervous system health Why cardio and Pilates alone won’t get you there The specific protocol women 30+ should follow How strength training may even delay menopause The surprising connection between muscle and visceral belly fat Connect with Holly FREE 3-day Workshop “Muscle for Life” / https://www.hollyperkins.com/bravetable  IG / https://www.instagram.com/hollyperkins  The Holly Perkins Health Podcast / https://www.hollyperkins.com/podcast  BOOK / https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Health-Lift-Get-Lean/dp/1623364787  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics 🌸 This Women’s History Month, celebrate your circle with the gift of ritual — buy 2 Chai Tonics and get 1 free.

    What if the people we fall in love with… aren’t random at all? In this deeply honest and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with relationship coach, author, and my dear friend Stefanos Sifandos to explore the hidden forces shaping our attraction, intimacy, and emotional safety. We talk about trauma patterns, nervous-system conditioning, modern masculinity, and why so many of us feel chemistry… but not true connection. Because the truth is, until we heal what’s unresolved within us, we often recreate the very pain we’re trying to escape. This episode is an invitation to move from survival in love to sacred, conscious intimacy. What you'll get out of this episode…  Why love activates your nervous system How childhood trauma shapes adult attraction Why do we repeat painful relationship patterns Rites of passage, parenting, and emotional maturity The quiet crisis of modern masculinity Why couples lose connection after kids Connect with Stefanos BOOK “Tuned In and Turned On” / http://tunedinandturnedonbook.com  IG / https://www.instagram.com/stefanossifandos  YT / https://www.youtube.com/@stefanosssifandos  WEB / https://stefanossifandos.com  WEB / http://coachwithstef.com  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics This Galentine’s, give the gift of ritual with Chai Tonics — nourishing Ayurvedic superfood chai blends for calm, focus, and a nervous-system exhale.

    406: What Losing 115 Pounds Taught Me About Trauma, Food & Self-Love with Nikita Phulwani

    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 Connect with Nikita  IG / https://www.instagram.com/niggiphulwani YT / https://www.youtube.com/@Niggiphulwani  WEB / https://www.wemakeitmumkin.com  IG / https://www.instagram.com/wemakeitmumkin  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics This Galentine’s, give the gift of ritual with Chai Tonics — nourishing Ayurvedic superfood chai blends for calm, focus, and a nervous-system exhale.
