How do you get over the awful things that life throws at you?   This episode's guest, Dr. Neeta Bhushan explains the formula for that.  Her new book called, "That Sucked.  Now What?" is an explanation of HOW to get through the 'suck' and to rise again.    Bela and Neeta met over coffee at Whole Foods when Neeta was single almost a decade ago.   Neeta has experienced more loss by the age of 19 than most people do in a lifetime.  She lost her father, mother and younger brother starting at the age of 15, and by 19 years old, she was raising her younger brother.   She went on to get a DMD degree, and open up dental practices, with financial success but a hole inside of her.   She married someone she thought her parents would 'approve' of, and after his last 'punch' (literally to her face) on New Year's Eve, 2011, she left him and began to rebuild her life.  Neeta has found love, had kids, founded the "Global Grit Institute" and so much more.  In this episode, you will hear: -How Suffering is part of Being Human 101 -How to Avoid the Victim Mentality -How to Create "Bounce" in your life, and the 4 factors that lead to bounce (resilience) Your Upbringing Your Current Environment Your Emotional Capacity Your Self-Awareness -After you 'bounce', the 5 Steps to 'fly forward!'   Falling Igniting Rising Magnifying Thriving  Spreading Your Wings Neeta and I implore you to get 'coaching' in any area you need it.  I have coaches, she has coaches, and we have been there to coach each other.   If you need a 'kick in the pants' to get some help for Peak Dating Season, click this link to set up a consultation with us!  https://www.smartdatingacademy.com/11-coaching/coaching-call-with-bela To buy Neeta's Book click here:  https://www.amazon.com/That-Sucked-Now-What-Embrace-ebook/dp/B0B4ZF99PS Join our free newsletter database by signing up here:  www.smartdatingacademy.com/contact Follow us on Instagram at @smartdatingacademy Schedule your consultation with us here!   We are on a waiting list, and would love to help you!  https://www.smartdatingacademy.com/11-coaching/coaching-call-with-bela
