When you’ve gone through something awful in life — one of those real sucker-punch moments that nearly knocks you over — and you’re finally out the other side, what comes next?
To answer this deep, life-altering question, I’m joined by Dr Neeta Bhushan, a former cosmetic dentist turned emotional health advocate, podcast host and best-selling author.
Tune in to hear Neeta’s unique and empowering insights on normalizing the messy moments in life, how to find joy in amongst the chaos, a surprising framework for dealing with grief, the transformative power of living with intention, practical tips for having uncomfortable conversations (even if you’re full of fear), tiny ways to triumph when everything feels sucky, and how to practice exquisite self-care during challenging times.
Whether you’re dealing with heartbreak, loss, the passing of a loved one (or 3, like Neeta), or any other form of setback or disappointment, you’re going to find so many moments of pure gold in this incredible conversation.
