The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan 399: Why You Don’t Have to Choose One Life Path Anymore with Hitha Palepu
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
