The Mindvalley Podcast With Vishen Lakhiani

Let’s explore the power of connection and the force that surrounds us. As we go through life, we are never truly alone, there is a force that surrounds us and permeates us. This force has the potential to help us move away from worries, heal ourselves, and alleviate loneliness.

Today on The Mindvalley Show we discuss the nature of resilience with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, author of “That Sucked! Now what?” Dr. Neeta is a cosmetic dentist turned performance coach. She is helping professionals reclaim their emotional grit and build resilience through radical self-awareness.  As a child, Dr. Neeta suffered the catastrophic loss of her mother, brother, and father. She never learned how to process her emotions of grief and loss, so she buried herself in her work and a toxic relationship until she realized the life she was leading was not in alignment with her true self. At that moment, Dr. Neeta understood that strength was not resilience but a form of avoidance. She teaches you how to embrace your emotions instead of allowing them to fester so that you can live a life free of emotional judgment! True resilience is the ability to accept yourself as you are, and sometimes that means sitting with your grief so that it does not overcome you. In this episode, Dr.Neeta lays out the framework for emo
