What if the secret to unlocking better sleep, glowing skin, and emotional clarity was as simple as swapping your morning brew?

In this deeply personal solocast, I share the raw truth behind what happened when I gave up coffee for 30 days. No preachy detoxes, no trendy biohacking—just the real-life physical, emotional, and energetic shifts I experienced by making one small, intentional change. From the withdrawal symptoms (hello, rage naps!) to rediscovering ancestral rituals through chai, this is a story of presence over pressure, and nourishment over numbing.

If you're burnt out, wired, and always reaching for your next fix, this episode is your invitation to reset.

What you'll get out of this episode…

• The emotional, physical, and hormonal signs that it might be time to rethink your caffeine habits

• What really happens to your energy, sleep, and mood when you quit coffee cold turkey

• Why chai is more than a drink—it’s an ancestral nervous system ritual

• The Ayurvedic ingredients (like saffron, cinnamon & cardamom) that support glow, gut health & calm

• The truth about coffee addiction that no one talks about: identity, not just chemistry

• How I replaced the “push productivity” mindset with presence and still got more done

• A free downloadable chai ritual calendar to help you create your own slow mornings (get yours at ⁠⁠neetabhushan.com/chaitonics⁠⁠!)
