EPISODE SUMMARY:

How do you respond to challenges in your life? Many of us turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, and then eventually fall flat on our face and have to actually acknowledge what we’ve pushed away. The depth that we are able to meet ourselves and then others with vulnerability and authenticity drastically affects our healing path.

Today we talk with Neeta Bhushan, co-founder of the Global Grit Institute, a mental health training platform for leaders and coaches, co-founder of the Dharma Coaching Institute, training thousands to live their best lives, and a thriving coach in her own right.

Neeta went through the depths of the most unimaginable grief and eventually met herself and soared to great heights. She’s helped thousands of people move past their heartbreaks, failures, and disappointments, researched human behavior, and fallen more than a few times herself, so she knows what it takes to get back up no matter what took you down.

Listen in to hear her incredible story and how you can apply the lessons she’s learned about resilience, falling apart, vulnerability, and healing in your own life.

Topics We Discuss:

• [3:02] Neeta’s story. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when Neeta was 10. She had to grow up early and take on a lot of responsibility as the oldest daughter. Her parents were also tiger parents and she was expected to perform at a high level in school.

• [8:16] Neeta’s younger brother passed away within a year of her mom passing. Two years later, her father also passed. She fell into victim and survival mode, overwhelmed by grief. Her extended family stepped in to help her and her remaining brother.

• [15:45] The family support also fed her coping mechanisms in her 20’s. She didn’t rock bottom until 29. Up until that point, she became an overachiever and just tried to push forward and “be okay”. Education and success were her addictions.

• [20:20] Neeta had the “perfect” marriage in her 20’s… but it was all a lie and she eventually divorced because the relationship was tumultuous. This was the beginning of her spiritual awakening.
