Whew! This one was juicy. I sat down for my very first ever all-female roundtable with two of my dearest, most brilliant soul sisters—Dr. Lalita and Simone Heng—and let me tell you, we did not hold back. From getting shushed (multiple times) in a Tallinn café to unpacking what it really means to be a brown, bold, and brave woman in today’s world, this episode is the unapologetic, heart-expanding chat you didn’t know you needed.We’re getting into everything: growing up the “rainbow sheep” of our families, healing generational wounds, thriving in male-dominated industries, and building deep, aligned female friendships that aren’t just “transactional.” So pull up a seat, pour your matcha (or your wine), and get ready to feel seen, heard, and maybe even a little called out—in the best possible way. 💁🏽♀️✨What you'll get out of this episode… The real-talk on navigating identity, assimilation, and culture as bold Asian women rewriting the narrative.A powerful breakdown of how to turn jealousy into admiration, and shift from scarcity to abundance in your relationships.Brave, unfiltered conversations about belonging, rejection, and how to build deep, soul-nourishing friendships that go way beyond surface.Insight into why you might still feel unseen in personal growth or spiritual spaces—and how to take up space without apology.The tools to decolonize your identity, reclaim your voice, and show up fully in your brilliance (even if you're the only one in the room doing it).Soulful reminders that you are not alone—and that the world is waiting for the most vibrant, audacious version of you.Key Timestamps:00:00 – What it means to be Asian and unconventional05:00 – Healing generational expectations & paving the path08:00 – Breaking stereotypes: loud Asians & safety in sisterhood11:00 – Feeling excluded in growth & spiritual circles14:00 – Identity, assimilation, and feeling racially ambiguous17:00 – Shattering the shame and embracing culture22:00 – Decolonizing identity & reclaiming heritage24:00 – Social media comparison and high-functioning anxiety30:00 – From jealousy to admiration: flipping the narrative34:00 – Building authentic, soul-aligned female relationships40:00 – Real Spill (Spill the Chai) roundTo receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co 😘Follow along for more tips, community, and resources to brave a better you!SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL HEREIG / @neetabhushan IG / @thebravetable TIKTOK / @neeta.bhushanWEB / https://neetabhushan.comYOUTUBE / @NeetaBhushanOfficialNEW YOUTUBE / @NeetaBhushanWant more?Visit the website and order your copy of “That Sucked, Now What?” → https://thatsuckednowwhat.com/🌿 Need a boost?
