272: The Toxic Positivity Trap: How ‘Good Vibes Only’ Can Harm Your Mental Health with Dr. Neeta Bhushan
Hey loves, welcome back to The Brave Table! Today, we’re dismantling a major myth in the world of personal growth – the ‘good vibes only’ mentality. While it’s great to stay positive, I’m here to remind you that we need to feel ALL of our emotions to truly grow. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of emotional contrast. Yes, you can feel sadness, rage, grief, AND joy at the same time – and that’s beautiful! I’ll also be sharing how to navigate the darker emotions that most of us tend to avoid, why they are just as important as the light, and how to transmute them in a healthy way.
Get ready for some juicy tools to work through your anger, feel your grief, and embrace your full range of emotions – all while still celebrating life’s joy. If you're someone who’s tired of the toxic positivity trap, this one’s for you!
What you'll get out of this episode…
Embrace your darker emotions to grow, transforming grief, anger, and sadness into peace and joy.
Setting time to feel and release your emotions through journaling, dancing, or screaming is powerful.
Your body stores emotions in specific organs
Joy requires sadness; resilience comes from embracing both.
Embrace the paradox—it's okay to laugh and cry at once!

263: Healing Through Self-Love and Radical Acceptance with Nitika Chopra
Welcome back to The Brave Table, my beautiful souls! Today, we’re diving deep with none other than the queen of hair, beauty, and chronic illness advocacy – Nitika Chopra! If you haven’t met her yet, you’re in for a treat. Nitika is the Founder and CEO of Chronicon and the Chronic Con Foundation. She’s on a mission to liberate and empower the chronic illness community, and in this conversation, she brings the realness—no sugar-coating, just raw vulnerability mixed with some much-needed humor.
We talk about how to advocate for yourself when you're facing chronic illness, the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it, and the spiritual and emotional healing we all need to tap into. Nitika shares her personal journey, from battling psoriasis since she was 10 to turning her life’s challenges into a movement for change. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt misunderstood, gaslit, or just plain stuck in their journey. Let's get real, get brave, and dive in!
What you'll get out of this episode…
Healing is a continuous journey of focusing on emotional and spiritual connection.
Chronic illness can feel isolating, but Nitika highlights the power of finding community support.
