In February 2021, Dr. Laura Berman's life changed forever when she lost her 16-year-old son, Sammy. The woman she was before that day would never be the same. But through unimaginable grief, she began discovering what it really means to heal, to cry without shame, and to carry love forward after loss.Laura is back at The Brave Table with her new book, Crying Out Loud. We talk about the pain of losing a child, why grief doesn't get smaller but we grow around it, the healing power of tears, and how to support someone who is grieving without trying to fix their pain. She also opens up about the signs she feels from Sammy, her fight to protect other children, and why moving forward doesn't mean leaving the people we love behind.🌿 FOLLOW DR.

A decade ago, Dr. Ellen Vora was six months pregnant when her mother died suddenly. Weeks later, lying on an acupuncturist's table, she heard: "I have a message coming through from your mom." She's not a psychic. She's a Yale- and Columbia-trained psychiatrist, and that moment cracked open everything she thought she knew about medicine, grief, and what it means to trust what you can't prove.Ellen is back at The Brave Table with her new book, Season of the Witch: A Psychiatrist's Case for Magic. We talk about why she believes we're all witches, the real cost of being the "chill," low-maintenance woman, why women healers were hunted, and the five practices for reclaiming the parts of yourself you were taught to exile. And she shares, for the first time on this show, what her sister found in their mother's desk.What you'll get from this episodeEllen's definition of a witch, and why she thinks every woman has one inside herThe hidden cost of performing the 'chill girl': how silencing your body's needs becomes a betrayal of the selfThe acupuncture session, the message from her mom, and the 'who knew?' moment that changed how she practices psychiatryWhy integrating your skeptical and mystical sides is a mental health strategy, not just a spiritual oneThe half-written novel in her mother's desk, and what it says about the dreams we carry for the women before us🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

Stored stress, trapped emotions, and fascia: why your body still won't settle when you're doing everything right. If you live with chronic tension, cold hands, a gut that won't calm down, or the same relationship pattern on repeat, this conversation is for you. Garry Lineham, co-founder of Human Garage and creator of Fascial Maneuvers, is back at The Brave Table. He spent decades in chronic pain before learning to work with his own body, and today his free and pay-what-you-can programs reach people all over the world. We talk about why “you're not broken,” what pain is really asking for, how unprocessed emotion shows up in the body, and the simple daily reset he'd give any woman running on empty. In this episode:• Why “healing” can become a trap, and what to focus on instead• A live demo: what happens when you put your hand on pain and tell your body you're safe• Stressors vs. stress, and how to grow the capacity to hold your life• Why we keep attracting the same partner, and what it has to do with emotion stuck in the body• Garry's most contrarian takes: why menopause may have less to do with age than we think, why he calls ADHD an observation rather than a diagnosis, and yes, urine therapy• Rituals, tea, and the 15-minute practice to try for seven days Agree? Disagree? Tell us in the comments. That's what the table is for. ⏱ CHAPTERS00:00 Preview00:26 Introduction to Gary and Human Garage03:59 Stress, emotions and self-healing05:41 Why the self-healing movement is growing08:15 Astrology, energy and healing modalities11:16 Pain, beliefs and a live demonstration14:45 Emotional patterns and relationships15:45 Gary’s perspective on fear, digestion and liver health18:29 Fascia, intuition and body awareness21:48 Taking ownership of stress23:44 Daily rituals and slowing down25:09 Community and shared healing rituals26:32 Connection in Asia and isolation in North America27:39 Supplements, curcumin and focus32:02 Human Garage’s mission and Gary’s menopause claims34:59 The 15-minute reset and 28-day challenge36:41 Spill the Chai: Gary’s views on urine therapy39:50 Listening to your fascia40:28 Letting go of possessions and attachments41:52 Reality checks and navigating change43:06 Final thoughts and how to connect 🎧 WATCH NEXTGarry's first conversation on The Brave Table, on how emotions get trapped in the body: [https://youtube.com/shorts/prIHgYP4wdM] 🔗 CONNECT WITH GARRY & HUMAN GARAGEWeb: https://www.humangarage.net28-Day Life Reset (pay what feels right): https://www.humangarage.net/core-resetInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/humangarageYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@humangarageTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@humangarageGarry on Instagram: [@handle, team to confirm] ☕ This Episode Is Brought To You ByCHAI TONICS — A daily Ayurvedic ritual to come back to yourself.
