Just Tap In with Emilio Ortiz #44 Neeta Bhushan - A Story of True Resilience: "Sucky" Moments, Entitlement Trap, & Emotional Grit
Dr. Neeta Bhushan is a world-renowned emotional health educator, 3x award-winning author, & host of her top-rated podcast The Brave Table. Known as the queen of reinvention, and speaker on grit & resilience, she has shared her thought leadership on international stages (including the Women’s Economic Forum in India, Google HQ, & Mindvalley) and in multiple international best-selling books.
In this episode, she is interviewed for a vulnerable story about true resilience, emotional grit, accepting ourselves, dealing with grief and trauma. "That Sucked, Now What?" has been her uplifting motto after becoming an orphan after both her parents died of cancer, and was left responsible for caring for her younger brother. She had previously lost her other brother when he was 12 years old. It took her another decade to hit rock bottom. On New Year’s Eve in 2011, she left a toxic and abusive marriage. Sobbing in her dental office, she began to process all of the grief, pain and loss she had experienced. Afterward, she began a journey of unapologetic, unwavering self-love, and had to learn how to pick up the pieces and move forward.
Dr. Neeta sold her large million-dollar cosmetic dentistry practice, to help others find magic in their mess. As part of her own journey to becoming a leader in her field and a voice for women & women of color, she traveled across 45 countries researching human behavior, ancient Eastern philosophy and therapeutic psychology. She pooled that learning along with other life experiences overcoming multiple adversities, which include being orphaned at nineteen, surviving an abusive marriage, and extensive loss, contributed to the powerful message of resilience & grit to have found several institutes, including the Global GRIT Institute, wellness education platform for optimizing emotional wellbeing for entrepreneurs and Co-Founder of Dharma Coaching Institute and organization helping train thousands to be the highest versions of themselves.
