Episode 48: That Sucked. Now What?

Episode 48: That Sucked. Now What?

How do you get over the awful things that life throws at you?   This episode's guest, Dr. Neeta Bhushan explains the formula for that.  Her new book called, "That Sucked.  Now What?" is an explanation of HOW to get through the 'suck' and to rise again.   

Bela and Neeta met over coffee at Whole Foods when Neeta was single almost a decade ago.   Neeta has experienced more loss by the age of 19 than most people do in a lifetime.  She lost her father, mother and younger brother starting at the age of 15, and by 19 years old, she was raising her younger brother.   She went on to get a DMD degree, and open up dental practices, with financial success but a hole inside of her.   She married someone she thought her parents would 'approve' of, and after his last 'punch' (literally to her face) on New Year's Eve, 2011, she left him and began to rebuild her life.  Neeta has found love, had kids, founded the "Global Grit Institute" and so much more.
