Summary

Life has a way of throwing us curveballs—like unexpected health struggles, career changes, or personal challenges. And if you let them, they can leave you feeling incredibly isolated, uncertain, or emotionally drained. But I’m here to remind you: Curveballs can also be the catalyst for reinvention. In today’s episode, I’m joined by the fierce Dr. Neeta Nawalkha., who is an acclaimed author and founder of The Brave Table. Together, we’ll help you embrace life’s toughest transitions with radical self-acceptance and resilience. As someone who has faced countless challenges herself, Dr. Neeta shares how moments of adversity can unlock new levels of identity, strength, and connection… As long as we’re willing to lean in! Whether you’re navigating midlife, personal relationships, or redefining your identity—this conversation will empower you to turn life’s "Now What?" moments into your next chapter. Tune in now to take the first step toward your boldest, most authentic self. IN THIS EPISODE Rebuild your life after unexpected challenges by reframing setbacks as opportunities for growth. Find your authentic self by embracing change, even when it feels overwhelming or uncertain. Cultivate a supportive "soul support posse" by intentionally building deep, meaningful connections with like-minded individuals. Break free from societal expectations and reclaim your voice by setting clear personal boundaries and honoring your truth. Use small, intentional practices to fuel resilience every day, from mindful self-care rituals to embracing new experiences with curiosity. QUOTES "By embracing the suck, you unlock your most authentic self—your next evolution starts when you say, ‘Now what?’" – Dr. Neeta Nawalkha "When life shakes you to your core, it’s an invitation to rebuild with intention and greater purpose." – Dr. Neeta Nawalkha "Resilience isn’t about never breaking—it’s about learning how to rise stronger after each fall." – Dr. Neeta Nawalkha "Stop waiting for the invitation—create your own soul support posse and build the community you crave." – Dr. Neeta Nawalkha "You can’t pour into others unless you first pour into yourself. Your daily rituals can be your most sacred form of self-care." – Dr. Neeta Nawalkha RESOURCES MENTIONED Connect with Dr. Neeta Nawalkha at neetabhushan.com Listen to The Brave Table Podcast: The Brave Table Grab Dr. Neeta’s FREE guides: Soul Support Posse Guide + 12-Month Chai Self-Care Guide (details in the episode!)

0:00.0	Hey, it's Dr. Marisa. And if you like my show, you are going to love well beyond 40 with my dear friend JJ Virgin.
0:08.0	JJ's podcast is a game changer for women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond who want to transform their health and learn how to age powerfully, not just gracefully.
0:19.4	With over 20 million downloads, it's quickly become the
0:22.2	go-to resource for women ready to make the rest of their life the best of their life.
0:27.2	Check out this clip with my dear friend, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, on the JJ podcast.
0:32.5	The reality is, you know, women might be getting around, I don't know, 50 grams of protein a day,
0:41.9	maybe a little bit more, whereas men might be getting 90 grams of protein a day.
0:44.9	This is not overeating. This is barely meeting. Yeah. The minimum requirements are not really the right requirements for someone, especially 60 plus when you really start to accelerate muscle loss. So those minimum requirements are
0:57.7	the minimum requirements that were for 18 year old guys back in the 60s. So it's completely irrelevant,
1:04.2	really. Now, I love JJ's podcast because it is inspiring and the tips that you'll receive, you can begin to implement immediately.
1:14.0	And that is a win for me. I was recently on her podcast where we talked about blood glucose
1:20.2	regulation, metabolism, and what it looks like to age powerfully. It's worth checking out.
1:27.3	Now, if you're looking for an expert on nutrition, fitness, hormonal balance, and

1:53.1	Can we become a beginner again and fall in love with the process? Because here's what happens
1:58.7	in that moment. We're building micro moments of resilience. And for
2:02.5	anybody who's watching this, your micro moment of resilience can be sitting in meditation,
2:07.2	can be putting on a sexy tune and just jiving to the beat of your own drum. Welcome back to the
2:16.0	energized with Dr. Marisa podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Marisa,
