In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Brave Table Live is joining forces with Rayya Talks to host a powerful gathering dedicated to women’s wellness, advocacy and community empowerment. The special edition, titled The Brave Table Live x Rayya Talks: Breast Cancer Awareness Edition, will take place on Wednesday 8 October 2025, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM at MGallery The Retreat, Palm Dubai.
This exclusive event will bring together women from across the region for an intimate morning of conversation, learning and connection – highlighting the importance of early detection, preventive health, and collective support in the fight against breast cancer. Guests will hear from Dr. Jenna Burton, Longevity and Regeneration specialist at Zoime Clinic, will share insights on proactive approaches to women’s health, including a guided five-minute personal check demonstration designed to empower attendees with practical preventive tools.
Adding to the experience, Dr. Neeta Bhushan, host of The Brave Table podcast and wellness entrepreneur, will showcase her celebrated Chai Tonics brand, recently launched in the United States through a five-city tour. For the first time in Dubai, Neeta will bring her functional chai to life through a live cooking station, where she will be deconstructing her brand for a tasting experience – blending ritual, flavour and wellness in an immersive way.
A carefully curated wellness marketplace featuring high-end vendors will also be part of the morning, giving attendees an opportunity to explore unique products and services that support holistic wellbeing. As a gesture of care, each guest will receive a single pink gerbera bouquet, thoughtfully arranged by FlowWow to symbolize hope, self-love and solidarity.
This edition comes at a milestone moment for The Brave Table. The podcast, hosted by Dr. Neeta Bhushan, has been nominated as a 2025 Signal Awards Finalist in the Conversation Starter category – an international recognition honoring the world’s best podcasts. With public voting now open, the nomination underscores Neeta’s growing global impact as a voice for empowerment, wellness and meaningful dialogue.
More than just a conversation, the gathering stands as a movement of advocacy and action. Aligning with Breast Cancer Awareness Month locally and globally, the event combines wellness, philanthropy and empowerment into one meaningful morning. Proceeds and contributions will support the Friends of Cancer Patients Fund, ensuring the event has a lasting and tangible impact on those directly affected by breast cancer.
“At The Brave Table Live, we believe in creating spaces where women can connect deeply, speak openly, and walk away with tools that empower them to thrive – not just survive.
Partnering with Rayya Talks for this edition allows us to amplify an important conversation around preventive health while celebrating community and wellness. Being recognised on a global stage with The Brave Table’s nomination at the Signal Awards makes this gathering
even more meaningful,” said Dr. Neeta Bhushan.
