If you run away from conflict or think you’re “just not a good negotiator,” this episode will change everything. In this deeply personal and powerful episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with world-renowned negotiator and mother, Lousin Mehrabi, who takes us on a journey of what negotiation really means. Spoiler: it’s not about boardrooms, billion-dollar deals, or getting your way. It’s about navigating life’s toughest moments, from parenting a child with a terminal condition to asking for what you need in love, life, and leadership. What you'll get out of this episode…  The heartbreak of parenting through unimaginable circumstances and finding purpose in the pain How negotiation isn’t about conflict; it's the way out of it Why women hesitate to call themselves “negotiators” (and how to reclaim that) Real strategies for everyday negotiation How to negotiate when emotions run high Connect with Lousin  IG / https://www.instagram.com/lousinmehrabi  LINKEDIN / https://www.linkedin.com/in/lousin-mehrabi  YT / https://www.youtube.com/@lousinmehrabi   This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Starting the year without pressure?

If you’re starting the year already tired, anxious, or behind… this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth no one is saying out loud: you cannot manifest from panic, exhaustion, or burnout. And in 2026, the real flex isn’t doing more — it’s feeling safe in your body. In this solocast, I’m unpacking why nervous system regulation is the foundation for everything you want to create in 2026 and 6 nervous system practices you can return to daily, especially when life feels overwhelming. What you'll get out of this episode…  Why rested & regulated is the new rich The hidden reason most New Year’s resolutions fail How burnout blocks creativity, motivation, and manifestation The difference between self‑regulation and co‑regulation 6 simple nervous system reset rituals you can use on a daily basis Why doing less can actually help you create more This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Starting the year without pressure?

What if your next chapter didn’t look like anything you’ve seen before… but felt more you than ever? In this empowering episode, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur Daniela Baumann, who went from bankrupt single mom to global businesswoman and founder of over 20 pole dance studios across Europe — all while challenging outdated norms around female confidence, self-worth, and reinvention. This conversation is a celebration of starting over, rising stronger, and rewriting the rules of success at any age. If you've ever felt stuck, undervalued, or like you’ve outgrown the life you’re living, Daniela’s story will ignite something deep within you.  What you'll get out of this episode…  How Daniela went from single mom to serial entrepreneur after being told she was “crazy” for chasing her dream Why 50 might just be the best time to rewrite your story Mindset shift to reinvent at any age Why women win bigger when they choose collaboration over competition How Daniela built a global business empire rooted in feminine power, community, and courage A reminder that your past doesn’t define you, but your next decision does Connect with Daniela IG / https://www.instagram.com/danielabaumannofficial  YT / https://www.youtube.com/@danielabaumannofficial  WOMEN LEADERS CLUB / https://womenleadersevents.com/women-leaders-club-membership  BOOK / https://www.amazon.com/Finest-Women-Leaders-International-Second-ebook/dp/B0G2H8KVCT/  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Starting the year without pressure?

Hey Brave Table fam! We’re celebrating 400 episodes, and I’m going all in with you. This isn’t your average highlight reel. It’s the real story of what it took to build my latest company — from scratch — while navigating motherhood, business pivots, product failures, and a whole lot of late-night decision-making (with chai in hand, of course). In this raw and real solocast, I’m walking you through the exact breakdown behind the scenes of launching Chai Tonics, my new wellness CPG brand. You’ll hear how I fired 4 formulators, got rejected 27 times before landing a dream book deal, and what I’ve actually learned from 400 episodes of this show. This episode is for every woman with a vision, especially if you’re building something new, wondering if it’s all worth it, or navigating the tension between ambition, motherhood, and identity. What you'll get out of this episode…  The biggest mindset shift that helped me move from idea to launch How to make decisions when everything feels uncertain The power of “letting go” to receive more Why success isn’t a straight line (and what to do when things go wrong) The real cashflow & time challenges no one talks about What’s next for The Brave Table, Chai Tonics, and this community This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Starting the year without pressure?

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 Connect with Hitha IG / https://www.instagram.com/hithapalepu SUBSTACK / https://hitha.substack.com YT / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJSfbc2oBYqAJ1rG1Dn8U6Q  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Starting the year without pressure?

Feeling the pull for a new chapter, but not sure what it looks like yet? In this solo episode, I’m bringing you five of the most powerful, soul-shifting conversations we had on the podcast in 2025 on what it really takes to manifest your dream life in 2026. These aren’t just highlight reels. They’re real stories from brave women who’ve walked through reinvention in all its messy, magical forms. And inside each one is a pivotal shift—a truth bomb, a lesson, a moment—that just might be what you need right now. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, a breakup, a rebirth, or just a quiet craving for more... this is your invitation to shed who you’ve been and step into the woman you’re becoming. What you'll get out of this episode…  Why reinvention starts with doing something bold before you feel ready How to build confidence from your identity (not in spite of it) Why most people mistake reinvention for crisis What happens when you stop chasing goals and start receiving life The real reason why you feel stuck Dive Deeper Into These Episodes Ep #346: How One Solo Trip Changed Everything with Dr. Nabila Ismail (Apple | Spotify) Ep #368: The Truth About Age-Gap Love, Divorce & Reinvention with Caroline Stanbury (Apple | Spotify) Ep #385: What Miss America Never Told You: Colorism, Courage & Finding Love with Nina Davuluri (Apple | Spotify) Ep #296: Healing, Reinvention & Finding Love with Christine Hassler (Apple | Spotify) Ep #326: This Is Why You Feel Stuck (And What to Do When You’re in the Void) (Apple | Spotify) This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Starting the year without pressure?

What if stepping back from your career isn’t failure, but the most ambitious decision you’ll ever make? In this deeply validating and paradigm‑shifting conversation, I sit down with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause, to dismantle everything we’ve been taught about ambition, worth, and identity after motherhood. Neha gives language to a season so many women live in silently: the in‑between. The pause. The questioning. The reinvention. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you were and who you’re becoming, this episode will meet you right where you are. What you'll get out of this episode…  Why wanting more time with your children doesn’t make you “less driven” How career pauses can actually become reclamation, not regression The guilt, shame, and societal pressure ambitious women face when they slow down How to answer the dreaded question: “So… what do you do?” Why redefining success is the most radical move you can make How to make this choice strategically, not reactively Connect with Neha WEB / https://www.motheruntitled.com/aboutus IG / https://www.instagram.com/neha_ruch  BOOK / https://www.thepowerpause.com/thepowerpause  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Starting the year without pressure?

We’re living in a time where “protect your peace” has become a mantra, and cutting off family is often labeled as healing. But what if that story is incomplete? In this deeply honest solocast, I explore the rise of family estrangement, the viral “no contact” culture, and the uncomfortable questions we’re not asking about loneliness, healing, and emotional resilience. I share my own lived experience with estrangement — including a period of no contact — and what I learned on the other side. This is not about shaming boundaries or glorifying toxic relationships. It’s about nuance, courage, and truth. Because healing isn’t always about walking away. Sometimes, it’s about learning how to stay differently. What you'll get out of this episode…  Why not all estrangement is healing — context matters Boundaries don’t have to mean disappearance Avoidance and peace are not the same thing Why healing often requires emotional stamina, not escape How relationships can be both triggering and transformative Watch Oprah’s episode on family estrangement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK7EJgILMIk  This Episode is Sponsored by Chai Tonics Give the gift of ritual this holiday season with Chai Tonic Holiday Kits — nourishing Ayurvedic superfood chai blends made to bring calm, clarity, and slow-living energy into the new year.

What if manifestation didn’t begin with doing more… but with softening? In this solocast, I’m inviting you into one of my most sacred end‑of‑year rituals — a chai ceremony I’ve practiced for over a decade to regulate my nervous system, clarify my desires, and call in the most expansive versions of my life. This is not about forcing goals. This is not about grinding, pushing, or manifesting from exhaustion. This episode is about coming home to yourself — and learning how presence, safety, and intention create magnetic alignment for everything you want to receive in 2026. Grab your chai (or any warm drink), settle in, and let this be your moment of alignment.

What if health isn’t something you fix — but something you remember? As we close out 2025 and step into a new year, I wanted to pause and revisit the conversations that truly shifted how we think about healing. This episode brings together six of the most powerful health lessons from this year — conversations that challenged mainstream narratives, validated so many lived experiences, and reminded us that our bodies are wise, not broken. From ancient Ayurvedic wisdom to modern truths about mold, air quality, hormones, detoxification, and breast implant illness — these episodes didn’t just inform us. They changed us. In this highlights episode, you’ll hear from experts who helped us ask better questions, advocate for ourselves, and reconnect with what our bodies have been whispering all along. If you’re heading into 2026 wanting to feel clearer, more energized, and more aligned — this conversation is your invitation to listen differently. What you'll get out of this episode…  Your body is intelligent — symptoms are messages, not failures Healing requires safety, not force How air quality, mold, and environment deeply affect energy and mood The truth about breast implant illness Hormonal shifts are real (why they are often dismissed!)
