Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Ethan Reisboard, CHt, a board-certified hypnotherapist, to cut through myths about hypnosis and get practical about change. We break down how hypnotherapy works on the subconscious mind and nervous system, why it can accelerate results alongside talk therapy and rehab, and how it helped Ethan recover from post-concussion syndrome when other approaches stalled. If you're navigating anxiety, ADHD-style distraction, chronic pain, or behavior loops (smoking, overeating, procrastination), this conversation outlines a non-pharmacological, skills-based path to regulation, clarity, and follow-through. Direct, grounded, and focused on implementation—not hype. About the Guest  : Ethan Reisboard, CHt is a board-certified hypnotherapist. After debilitating migraines and eye dysfunction from post-concussion syndrome, he used hypnotherapy to calm a hyperactive nervous system, then returned to other therapies with far better results. He now helps clients create lasting, transferable changes in day-to-day life. Key Takeaways  : Hypnotherapy isn't stage tricks; it guides the brain into a receptive learning state so new responses “stick.” Most people know what to do; the gap is implementation. Hypnosis targets that gap at the subconscious level. Nervous system regulation is foundational; when stress reactivity drops, other treatments (OT/PT/CBT) work better. Useful for loops like smoking, overeating, or procrastination, and processes tied to anxiety, pain, and focus. No mind control: clients can't be made to do what they don't want. Change requires willing participation. Pairing talk therapy insights with hypnotherapy helps translate “what I know” into “what I do.” Aim for confidence, clarity, and appropriate stress response rather than trying to avoid triggers. Non-invasive and drug-free; focuses on durable skills versus quick suppression (e.g., contrasts with symptom-only fixes). Simple daily practice: return to the present—observe, interrupt future-fear/past-rumination—to reduce symptom intensity. Expect broader adoption: as evidence and access grow, people will seek hypnotherapy earlier, not as a last resort.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with scientist-turned-career strategist Caroline Sangal, founder of Next Success and host of Your Next Success. Caroline breaks down mental fitness, resilience, and career alignment—how high achievers can stop chasing external markers and start designing work that supports health, relationships, and meaning. She shares her own pivot from R&D and executive recruiting, the neuroscience behind upgrading unhelpful mental “operating systems,” and practical steps to pause, assess, and realign.   About the guest  : Caroline Sangal, PhD is a former chemical industry R&D leader and executive recruiter who now guides professionals through evidence-based career transitions. She blends data, discernment, and empathy in her Next Success Method, integrating natural abilities, communication style, mental fitness, and a life-first career vision.   Key takeaways : Mental fitness = response under stress. It's the trained ability to respond rather than react when plans derail (e.g., the “late dinner order” story). Upgrade the OS. Many adults run childhood-formed mental patterns (people-pleasing, hyper-control, hyper-achieve). These can be retrained via targeted practice and micro-exercises. Resilience is trainable. Like strength training, repeated cognitive drills build calmer, clearer responses and better decisions in interviews, leadership, and home life. Life vision first, career second. Clarify eight factors—stage, abilities, skills, interests, personal style, communication behavior, family context, goals/values—then align roles accordingly. Spot self-sabotage. Use assessments to identify dominant “saboteurs” (e.g., hyper-vigilant, pleaser, victim) and replace them with constructive mental habits. Listen to the body. Ignoring stress shows up as health and relationship costs; realignment improves well-being and presence with family. Start now: Pause → Assess → Act. Audit daily energy givers/drainers; visualize a life you actually want; take one aligned action this week.Community-Guidelines Check: The transcript contains no content that violates YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn community standards.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik digs into how discipline—not fleeting motivation—builds durable success. Guest Malik Duckett shares lessons from foster care to entrepreneurship: using the gym to train decision-making, reframing setbacks as data, and designing daily structures that keep goals on track long after inspiration fades. This episode is a direct playbook for replacing excuses with execution—covering routines, resilience, and the psychology of sticking with hard things across fitness, career, and life.   About the guest  : Malik Duckett is an author, investor, clothing designer, and serial entrepreneur. He channels early adversity into a framework of discipline, consistent action, and critical thinking to create freedom in health, business, and life.   Key takeaways: Habits beat hype: design a daily structure (reading, training, focused work) so progress continues when motivation dips. Train for life in the gym: voluntary physical stressors build the exact discipline required for real-world tough choices. Identity first, action follows: call yourself disciplined and act in alignment—consistency compounds. Reframe failure as feedback: analyze losses more than wins; extract what to change and iterate fast. Information overload skews expectations: social media hides the work; expect long horizons and steady repetitions. Choose your lens: circumstances matter, but your interpretation—positive, neutral, or lesson—determines your next move. Leave limiting environments: changing geography and circles can remove ceilings on growth. Motivation as a bonus, not fuel: rely on routines you control, not external hype you don't. Health is a performance multiplier: sleep, nutrition, and training create the cognitive bandwidth for good decisions. Self-evidence is the ultimate motivator: let your history of kept promises drive future adherence.   Connect with the guest   Instagram: @IntrovertedMentor Website: https://www.sinislifeofficial.org/ Book/brand: SinIsLifeOfficial.org   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with certified nutritionist and health coach Karin Adoni to unpack the biggest misconceptions about working with a nutritionist. They explore why so many people fear judgment or extreme restrictions, how diet culture has shaped unhealthy narratives, and why food isn't the enemy. Karin shares why weight loss is more about lifestyle than genetics, how sugar holds such power over us, and practical steps to break free from toxic eating cycles. This conversation goes beyond meal plans—it's about reclaiming food as a source of empowerment, not guilt. About the Guest:Karin Adoni is a certified nutritionist, health coach, author, and founder of Me Supplements. After overcoming her own struggles with emotional eating and restrictive dieting, Karin now helps thousands transform their relationship with food. Her mission is clear: to break the toxic cycles of guilt, shame, and deprivation, and to empower people with sustainable, nourishing habits that support both mind and body. Key Takeaways: The biggest myth: nutritionists won't force you to “eat only salads” or judge you. Weight loss is far more influenced by habits and environment than by genetics. The diet industry profits from unsustainable extremes—long-term health comes from balance. Sugar addiction is real, driven by dopamine cycles similar to other addictions. Building a healthy relationship with food means no more “all or nothing” mindset.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Dylan Borland, founder of Caden Academy, about the practical mechanics behind the idea that imagination creates reality. Dylan breaks down conscious vs. subconscious mind, why belief and feeling are non-negotiable for manifestation, and how to test this in your life with small, repeatable experiments. From recontextualizing limiting self-talk to embodying scenes where the “wish is fulfilled,” this episode gives direct, no-fluff steps to shift inner narratives and see measurable outer change. If you've wondered how visualization, emotion, and consistent focus translate into results, this conversation covers the framework start to finish—without hype.  About the Guest :  Dylan Borland is the founder of Caden Academy, a school of conscious creation and inner transformation. His work blends ancient wisdom with modern practice to help people remember who they truly are and create aligned outcomes using imagination, feeling, and the subconscious mind. He is the author of Imagination Creates Reality.  Key Takeaways: Imagination is the engine; the subconscious is the tool. The conscious mind filters ideas; repeated, accepted ideas imprint on the subconscious, which then expresses them outward. Belief first. Outcomes align with your dominant assumption. If you don't believe it's possible, you block it. Feel it real. Don't just visualize; embody a short scene that implies the wish is already fulfilled. Engage senses (sound, touch, temperature) and the feeling (relief, gratitude). Recontextualize the story. Replace “I can't” loops (e.g., “It's hard to make money”) with precise, affirmative truths repeated consistently. Test small to build evidence. Use simple experiments (e.g., “ladder exercise”) for fast wins, then scale to bigger goals. Timing matters. Drift-to-sleep periods (alpha state) are potent windows to plant scenes and feelings. Identity is flexible. Life is chapters; you can choose new roles anytime. Stop clinging to past labels. Action follows state. Imagination doesn't replace action; it informs aligned moves that feel natural from the fulfilled state. Health and mindset. Personal stories highlight how belief and mental focus influence well-being; adopt with discernment, not as medical advice. If it's not showing up, check belief. Persistent inner contradictions often stall results; address the belief, then re-feel the scene.  How to Connect with the Guest : Website & free digital copy of Imagination Creates Reality: cadenacademy.com Community: Inner Edge Facebook group (linked from the website)  Some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice.

Joining us is Zoa Conner, a functional wellness guide and retreat leader, who unpacks why travel isn't just a break from routine—it's a conscious tool for healing and growth. We discuss how travel influences our nervous system, how to align destinations with personal wellness goals, and why self-care is never one-size-fits-all. Zoa shares her personal journey supporting her daughter's recovery from mold illness and offers practical advice on making self-care travel accessible, intentional, and impactful. This conversation challenges common misconceptions and redefines what true self-care looks like, even on a budget.

The best self-care travel is aligned with your current wellness needs—whether that means quiet nature escapes or vibrant city visits. Small, local trips can be just as powerful for self-care as luxury getaways. Trusting your body's signals is just as crucial as following data and trends.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we welcome Kath Essing, author of The Courage to Speak Your Truth. Kath shares her journey from silence to advocacy after surviving childhood sexual abuse. We discuss why reclaiming your voice is essential for healing, the complexities of sharing your story, and the critical gaps in current support systems and justice processes. Kath offers honest reflections on what helped her heal, the unexpected challenges she faced, and practical advice for both survivors and supporters. If you or someone you know is navigating the path from trauma to empowerment, this conversation is not to be missed. About Kath Essing:Kath Essing is a survivor, author, and advocate whose memoir The Courage to Speak Your Truth calls on women and allies to break free from the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse. Through her personal story and advocacy, Kath is working to reform outdated systems and empower others to reclaim their stories and their strength. Key Takeaways: The act of speaking out can be healing but also complex and risky without the right support. Supporters should focus on listening, believing, and holding space rather than offering quick solutions. Systemic changes are urgently needed in healthcare, education, and justice to better support survivors. Healing is a non-linear journey, often starting with private reflection before public advocacy. Writing can be a powerful first step toward processing trauma and reclaiming your voice.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty explores how voice and sound unlock self-healing, mental clarity, and embodied presence with Denise Mihalik—opera singer turned sound-healing guide, founder of Sound Awakenings, and creator of Quantum Voice. From opera stages to ashrams, Denise shares how chanting, humming, and breath rewire our nervous system, rebuild confidence after grief, and reconnect us to an authentic voice that leads rather than pleases. You'll learn practical, safe voice practices you can start today—no “good singer” required—and why your voiceprint is a direct line to purpose. About the guest  : Denise Mihalik is the founder of Sound Awakenings and creator of Quantum Voice. A former professional opera singer, she now teaches voice and sound practices for trauma release, presence, and inner peace. She offers 1:1 and group sessions online and a free “Sounds of Awakening” (Bija Mantras) training on her homepage. She is also the author of the novel Journey to Sunyata. Key takeaways: Your voice is a unique vibrational fingerprint—a mirror of mood, safety, and self-permission. Most people aren't tone-deaf; voice skills are trainable when mental blocks are addressed. Breath + posture change how you sound and how safe you feel to be heard. Simple humming regulates the nervous system—think “walking singing bowl.” Chanting (including Sanskrit bija sounds) can soften grief, open the heart, and restore meaning. After loss, begin with permission to feel joy, then rebuild with breath and tiny steps. Speaking or singing isn't about sounding pretty; it's about sincere resonance and alignment. Practical start: 2 minutes of gentle breath + hum, hand on chest, daily consistency over intensity.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Anna Donaghey—alcohol mindset coach, author, and host of The Big Drink Rethink—about why high-achievers quietly struggle with drinking and how to replace alcohol's “jobs” (confidence, belonging, relief) with tools that actually nourish. We unpack Anna's “What are you truly thirsty for?” framework, practical pause-and-choose strategies, and how boundaries, self-awareness, and nervous-system care build a life you don't want to escape. If you're sober-curious, rethinking happy-hour habits, or ready to change your relationship with alcohol without shame or moralizing, this direct, science-informed conversation is for you. About the guest  : Anna Donaghey spent 25 years as a strategy director in high-pressure advertising before confronting a growing dependence on alcohol. Now an alcohol mindset coach, podcast host of The Big Drink Rethink, and author of the forthcoming What Are You Thirsty For?, she helps people identify the unmet needs behind the drink and choose healthier ways to meet them. Key takeaways: Name the “job” you're giving alcohol (confidence, connection, relief, sleep). Once named, you can meet that need directly. Micro-pause practice: before you drink, ask, “What am I really thirsty for right now?” Even if you still drink, the pause builds choice. High achievers are vulnerable: perfectionism, control, and overperformance can become an Achilles' heel, pushing private, compensatory drinking. Alcohol isn't the root problem; it becomes a placeholder for unmet emotional needs. Replace numbing with nourishing inputs. Build a life you don't want to escape: core nutrients (body, mind, soul), better boundaries, and tools for regulation reduce urges. Treat sensations (tension, cravings, fatigue) as information, not failure. Respond with rest, connection, movement, or creativity. Success can mimic a drug (dopamine loops), just like work, scrolling, gaming. Swap quick hits for sustainable fulfillment. This is not about deprivation; it's about empowerment—making alcohol small and irrelevant so you choose with intention. You don't have to quit to begin; you do need to stop using alcohol as an emotional management tool. Start today: identify your top two “thirsts” (e.g., calm, belonging) and list non-alcohol ways to meet each in 10 minutes or less.

In this direct, practical conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores how the four cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—become a usable framework for real-world mental and spiritual well-being. Guest Matthew Jandernoa, founder of Steadfast Life, reframes virtue from “rules” into a map for becoming fully human. You'll hear why freedom requires formation, how appetites shape choice, and a simple on-ramp: identify your “champion virtue” using Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies to build momentum. Matthew shares a client story showing how the prudential sub-virtue of alertness can reduce panic attacks by widening focus and restoring creativity. If you want a clear, non-fluffy path to calm, confidence, and integrity, this episode lays out the steps.   About the guest   Matthew Jandernoa is a husband, father, and founder of Steadfast Life, a movement helping people make virtue human again—practiced daily by families, leaders, and believers seeking wisdom, discipline, and love.   Key takeaways: Virtue is human tech: The root of “virtue” (from vir, “human”) frames it as a map for being fully human, not a moral checklist. Four domains, four anchors: Prudence = thinking well Temperance = desiring well Fortitude = meeting fear well Justice = acting/interacting well Freedom needs formation: Unordered appetites distort reality; rightly ordered appetites increase true freedom and durable happiness. Start where you're strong: Use Four Tendencies to find a “champion virtue”: Upholder → Temperance Questioner → Prudence Obliger → Justice Rebel → FortitudeGrowing one virtue lifts all. Anxiety tool: alertness (prudence): Replace tunnel vision with creative option-generation to neutralize intrusive thoughts and regulate the nervous system. Everyday practice: Choose honesty over comfort, courage over fear, balance over excess, and fairness over ego—small, repeatable acts compound. Resources mentioned: steadfastlife.net, Institute of Catholic Culture's course on the Four Cardinal Virtues, Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies.   Connect with the guest   Website: steadfastlife.net Email: matthew@steadfastlife.net First call is free for introductions and questions about the virtues.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik and mental health coach Davina Hehn cut through the fluff on anger. You'll learn how to read anger as data (not a defect), use nervous-system tools in the moment, and practice micro-repairs that rebuild trust at home and at work. Practical scripts, time-bound pauses, thought-stopping, and collaboration strategies make this a clear playbook for conflict without collateral damage. About the guest  : Davina Hehn is a trained therapist turned mental health coach. She helps people advocate for themselves without causing harm, regulate their nervous systems, and parent with accountability and repair. Key takeaways  : Anger is a pointer, not a personality flaw; it flags crossed boundaries, unmet needs, or perceived injustice. Do hourly micro-check-ins (jaw, heart rate, “cold-to-hot” scale) to catch activation early. Use a 30-second reset: notice body cues, name the need, choose a response over a reaction. Radical self-responsibility means holding multiple truths: “What I felt was valid; what I did wasn't helpful.” In-the-moment regulation: breathe with longer exhales; hum or lightly pinch fingertips for bilateral input; stay present. Create time-bound pauses: “I'm activated. I need 5 minutes. I'll come back.” Agree on a neutral cue word as a couple or family. Repair with consent and specifics: ask to revisit, share each perspective, name what you'll do differently next time. Aftercare matters: stop rumination with thought-stopping (visual stop sign) to complete the stress cycle. Prevention beats penance: set realistic timelines for behavior change; consistency rebuilds trust. Litmus test for action: channel anger into changes within your control; avoid rushing to act while still highly activated.SEO: anger intelligence, repair over rupture, parenting repair, conflict scripts, nervous system tools, relationship communication.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Samuel Jones, Ph.D., CSP—award-winning keynote speaker and author of Momentum Mindset: How to Turn Setbacks into Success. We unpack practical strategies to move from overwhelm to action: the Pyramid of Possibilities to locate yourself, the Three Time Zones to mine lessons (not excuses) from your past, and the clarity trifecta—purpose, priorities, and pace—to build repeatable momentum without burnout. If you lead a team, run a business, or you're simply stuck, this episode shows you how to reframe honestly, separate identity from results, and bounce forward with a system of adaptive thinking, aligning, and doing. About the guest  : Dr. Samuel Jones, Ph.D., CSP is a keynote speaker, leadership coach, and author of Momentum Mindset. He helps leaders and teams convert adversity into advantage through systems that build clarity, confidence, and repeatable progress. Key takeaways:   Locate before you launch: Use the Pyramid of Possibilities to identify where you're believing myths versus truth so change starts from awareness. Measure momentum in days, not months: Build confidence with small repeatable actions; moments compound into momentum. Reframe without denial: The Three Time Zones model turns past pain into present power by extracting lessons (not blame). Ask better questions: “What does this moment require of me?” moves you from reaction to ownership. Clarity = purpose + priorities + pace: Right-size your speed to preserve capacity and produce results that matter. Build a thinking system: Shift to adaptive thinking → adaptive aligning → adaptive doing to keep evolving. Separate identity from outcomes: Results reflect inputs and alignment, not your worth; reconnect identity to purpose and values. Bounce forward after setbacks: Call a timeout, take stock, audit resourcing, and redesign inputs before the next move. Scale by pruning: “Scale back to scale up”—remove scatter, focus on what truly matters, then expand. Momentum loves witnesses: Share one win daily to reinforce progress and accountability.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty digs into the mental health cost of staying in a job you hate. Guest Tom Cooke—a former quantity surveyor who left corporate life after a purpose-reset—breaks down the “silent burnout” of dread, numbness, and anxiety that comes from working without meaning. You'll learn how to assess your skills, spot real problems to solve, validate a business idea while employed, and make steady, patient moves toward a purpose-led venture. About the guest  : Tom Cooke is a purpose-driven business strategist who left a stable corporate career after a sabbatical revealed that success without freedom isn't success. He now helps professionals identify their first profitable idea, validate it on the side, and design a business that aligns with their values and mental well-being. Key takeaways  : Name the problem: “Silent burnout” looks like chest heaviness at the alarm, Sunday dread, and emotional numbness even around friends and family. Purpose ≠ paycheck: A great salary can still cost peace of mind; fulfillment comes from aligned work you control. Start while employed: List strengths/skills, note problems people actually have, and find the overlap where you can help. Validate fast: Talk to potential customers, test whether your idea solves a real pain, and use feedback to refine or drop it.

On this Healthy Waves episode, Avik and performance coach Glen Lubbert break down a practical framework for replacing harsh self-talk with useful language and action. You'll learn the “8 magic words” that open possibility (right now, so far, not yet, at least), how to spot exceptions to stuck patterns, and simple end-of-day prompts that shift you from guilt to progress. We cover burnout signals, building on existing wins, and a 5-minute reset you can start tonight   About the guest  : Glen Lubbert is a Division I athlete turned health innovator, certified performance and sleep & recovery coach, and founder of Stamina Lab. His solution-focused approach helps people create change by amplifying what already works.   Key takeaways: Your brain's negativity bias is normal; notice it and separate “thoughts” from “you.” Swap absolute self-talk (“I always procrastinate”) with the 8 magic words: right now, so far, not yet, at least. Keep the data, drop the drama: keep facts, soften the tone, choose the next useful step. Look for exceptions: when the problem didn't happen or was smaller—then repeat what made that possible. Track three daily signals of what worked (e.g., energy, clarity, a kind choice) to build momentum. Define “what you want instead,” then describe that future in vivid detail; your brain works toward clear targets. There are many paths to the same river: don't fixate on one “right” routine; find small, doable moves now. Burnout: first name what you want to feel instead; then recall evidence of past hard things you handled—capacity over guilt. A quick 5-minute nightly reset: 1) level breath, 2) list what moved you forward today, 3) set one boundary for tomorrow, 4) thank your body. Progress beats perfection: amplify bright spots; repeat what already works.   How to connect with the guest   Website + free guide + complimentary session: staminaLab.io (download the “8 Magic Words” PDF and book a free 20-minute coaching session)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On “Healthy Mind, Healthy Life,” host Avik speaks with author and artist-healer Deborah Lucas about transforming pain into presence. From a life-changing horse fall to learning Hellerwork (structural integration), Deborah explains how breath, body awareness, and attunement with horses dissolve long-held tension and grief. We cover myofascial release, nervous system grounding, reading equine signals, and building a daily practice that's practical, somatic, and sustainable. If you're navigating loss, chronic stress, or creative blocks, this episode breaks the process down with direct, usable steps.   About the guest: Deborah Lucas is the author of “Dance While the Fire Burns: Identity, Family, and Dreams.” Trained as an MFA ceramic artist (UCLA), she later became a Hellerwork practitioner, applying myofascial release and breath-led awareness to both humans and horses. She lives on rural acreage with two rescue horses and teaches simple, grounded ways to reconnect to the body.   Key takeaways: Breath is the fastest reset: slow nasal inhales and longer exhales downshift the nervous system and make space for healing and creative flow. Hellerwork helps unwind layered tension: slow, client-led myofascial release allows emotions stored in connective tissue to surface and resolve without overwhelm. Horses mirror you: equine cues (ears, lips, leaning, softening) reflect your internal state; calm presence and steady breathing invite trust and co-regulation. Practical ritual beats theory: simple acts—standing quietly, breathing with a horse, soaking a hoof, mindful hand-washing to “reset” energy—create reliable safety signals for the body. Nature regulates: daily contact with trees, gardens, and animals increases grounding; creativity returns when the environment is quiet and spacious. Art as somatic practice: watercolor's layering and clay's fire-to-form process model healing—release occurs in layers, outcomes are emergent, acceptance matters. Grief can transform: honoring loss (including end-of-life moments) deepens joy capacity and fuels honest, meaningful expression. Start today: one small act—intentional breathing plus a brief nature check-in—begins momentum without needing perfect circumstances.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://www.deborahannlucas.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with author and transformation coach Chandra Lynn about her framework Root to Rise: How to Love Life. Chandra breaks down the five “root” areas (health, relationships/self, career, friends, family) and the six human needs adapted from Maslow to show how high achievers and everyday people get stuck in survival mode—and how to shift into purposeful, balanced living. You'll learn practical tools like the Emotional Triad, simple journaling prompts (“What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?”), and how defining your taproot (your why) becomes fuel for resilient action.   About the guest  : Chandra Lynn is the author of Root to Rise: How to Love Life, a certified transformation coach, and founder of GlowLiving. After 25 years leading marketing for brands like Apple and Mercedes, she built a method blending human needs psychology with soulful practices to help people cultivate resilience, balance, and purpose.   Key takeaways: Root to Rise framework: Balance five roots—health, relationship/self, career, friends, family—then align them with six human needs to exit survival mode and create fulfillment. Six human needs (adapted): Security/certainty, variety, connection/intimacy, growth, significance/self-worth, and transcendence/contribution. From overwhelm to clarity: Use three prompts—What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?—to prioritize healthy, meaningful action. Emotional Triad tool: Shift state by changing (1) physiology (move, breathe, sunlight), (2) focus (gratitude, possibility), and (3) meaning/self-talk (be your own best friend). Taproot = your why: Identify the deeper motivation that sustains momentum when discipline fades (e.g., showing up as the best parent/leader/creator). Embodied signals: Survival mode shows up as tension, sleep and appetite swings; fulfillment feels balanced, energized, and self-supportive. Journal to integrate: Ask great questions, write first, analyze later—let insight surface before you optimize. Update the blueprint: Release outdated childhood expectations; define success on present values, not social comparison.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://glowliving.com/ Signed book + 25% off (U.S. only): glowliving.etsy.com — use code THRIVE25 Also available on Amazon (international orders)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Waves, Dr. Amanda Adkins—double-board certified in internal and lifestyle medicine with a certificate in plant-based nutrition—breaks down practical, evidence-based steps women can use to reduce risk of diabetes, hypertension and chronic inflammation. We cover high-impact foods (leafy greens, beans, whole-food plants), simple habit swaps for busy caregivers, how to avoid restriction cycles, and how lifestyle choices influence gene expression (epigenetics). If you want clear, scalable strategies that combine science and faith for long-term health, this episode delivers actionable guidance you can start this week. About the guest: Dr. Amanda Adkins is a lifestyle medicine physician and health strategist who helps women prevent — and sometimes reverse — chronic conditions through plant-forward nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. She blends clinical evidence with spiritual grounding to create sustainable, habit-based care. Key takeaways: Prioritize leafy greens daily: they supply nitrates and antioxidants that support vascular health and blood pressure control. Add beans and legumes for fiber to stabilise blood glucose — plant protein and fibre lower insulin resistance. Reduce saturated fat and refined carbs; most benefits come from adding whole plants rather than punitive restriction. When pressed for time, choose fresh, pre-made foods cautiously: check ingredients for added sugar, salt, and fats. Build habits by adding before subtracting — introduce plant foods first, then crowd out less healthy options to avoid restriction cycles. Measure health with function metrics (energy, BP, sleep) rather than only scale weight to prevent shame and perfectionism. Protein concerns on plant diets are typically overstated — most people meet needs via beans, lentils, nuts and whole grains. Epigenetics: genes are a deck of cards — lifestyle (diet, sleep, stress, movement) helps “play the hand” differently and can reduce disease risk. Self-care is not selfish: short, consistent investment in rest, food prep, and movement improves long-term capacity to care for others. Small, repeatable keystone habits + tracking two feel/function metrics yield sustainable improvement vs big, short-term overhauls.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with Kelly Lorenzen—award-winning entrepreneur and CEO of KLM Consulting—about sustainable entrepreneurship. Kelly unpacks practical systems for avoiding burnout, her CODA method for delegation, the role of community, and why health must sit at the center of every founder's strategy. She also shares how navigating breast cancer clarified her definition of success and pushed her to create businesses that serve life, not consume it. This focused conversation gives founders concrete steps to reclaim time, protect well-being, and scale with intention.   About the guest  : Kelly Lorenzen is the CEO of KLM Consulting (DuplicateMyselfKLM.com), a marketing and management firm helping small businesses grow sustainably. With 20+ years of ownership experience, a degree in Entrepreneurship & Communications from Arizona State, and a PMP certification, Kelly is a breast-cancer survivor, philanthropist, and mentor committed to founder health, community, and systems that scale.   Key takeaways: Resilience is built, not born: repetitive “recover and re-tool” cycles created capacity to withstand shocks. Mindset interrupt: quickly redirect negative spirals to neutral or positive action to prevent cognitive tailspins during crises. CODA for workload clarity:K = Keep only tasks only you can do; O = Outsource expert work (tax, marketing); D = Delegate five- to ten-minute tasks; A = Automate repeatables. Health first, always: preventive care and daily self-care are strategic levers, not luxuries. Community is a safety net: mentors, peers, and teams function like “insurance” when life hits. Redefine success: choose wise ambition—business should sustain your life, not replace it. Service fuels leadership: philanthropy and giving back restore meaning and reduce isolation. Practical next steps: brain-dump tasks, tag with CODA, book your overdue health check, and schedule one weekly connection that isn't about sales.   Connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Kelly Lorenzen Website: https://duplicatemyselfklm.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kyra Faison Gardner—certified transformational life & retirement coach, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and founder of Prospect & Refuge Life—about “threshold alchemy”: using life transitions (midlife shifts, retirement, loss, reinvention) to create purpose. Kyra unpacks practical rituals (silence at sunrise, gratitude journaling, mindful community) and a direct message: you don't need permission to change direction. This episode is built for listeners seeking midlife reinvention, post-career identity, spiritual grounding, and daily practices that stick.   About the Guest:   Kyra Faison Gardner is a transformational life & retirement coach and author of Who Do You Think You Are? After more than 20 years as a founder/CEO—and rebuilding after a devastating house fire—she now helps people in their second and third acts redesign life with intention through Prospect & Refuge Life.   Key Takeaways: Threshold alchemy defined: transform uncertain life stages into meaningful new chapters by reframing identity beyond roles and titles. Identity ≠ job: you are not your career, marital status, or parental role; reinvention starts when you expand who you believe you are. Rituals over routines: morning silence, sunrise, brief meditation, and gratitude journaling stabilize mood and sharpen purpose. Body-markers for intention: simple anchors (remove shoes, anoint hands/feet, light a candle) signal your nervous system it's time to focus. Community matters: find cohorts or circles that see your current self and support who you're becoming. Permission slip: you already have permission to be happy, change your mind, and pursue long-delayed curiosities. Spiritual flexibility: you don't need the “right” label for the sacred; name it how it resonates and keep going. Micro-choices win: small, repeatable acts (feed the birds, a poem, one page of writing) accumulate into identity change. From trauma to truth: healing isn't linear; honest writing and coaching help you share without losing peace. Aging as expansion: retirement and midlife aren't endings—they're invitations to create, learn, and serve.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.prospectrefugelife.com/ Substack: Seeking Prospect & Refuge (poetry, blessings, essays)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Caleb Matthews—founder of SeeLink, dream interpreter, and spiritual strategist—to break down his SSB method (Spirit–Soul–Body) and the 3 Cs (Contract, Construct, Conform). We discuss why alignment starts in the spirit, how to avoid wearing someone else's “armor,” and practical ways to translate dreams into strategy. If you've felt overstimulated and under-centered, this episode gives a direct framework to regain sovereignty over your inner house and lead from design, not pressure.   About the guest:   Caleb Matthews is a seer-strategist and founder of SeeLink. For 20+ years he's helped people decode their DNA of design through dream work, spiritual alignment, and practical action. He teaches the SSB framework and the “armor principle”—leading from your unique design rather than conforming to trends.   Key takeaways: SSB first principles: Start alignment from the spirit, renew the mind (soul), then embody through the body—not the other way around. Armor principle: Don't wear someone else's “armor.” Borrow tactics; keep your birthright design. 3 Cs framework: Contract: Make conscious agreements—with God/higher power and with yourself—about who you are and what you serve. Construct: Build systems and routines that fit your wiring. (Don't) Conform: Resist peer-pressure and culture's “con job” to be a copy. Census of the senses: Regularly audit what you see, hear, speak, consume; curating inputs is a spiritual discipline. Dreams as data: Everyone dreams; keep a bedside dream journal and translate symbols into next actions. First step from numbness:Pause, set your mind “on things above,” and re-enter the day from an inner sanctuary. Healthy leadership: Purpose emerges when you live from design, not when you chase balance. One actionable move today: Write or rewrite your core contract (values, non-negotiables, callings) and decline agreements that dilute it.   How to connect with the guest   Website (speaking/content): http://www.calebmatthews.net/ YouTube: The SeeLink  Workspace/Airbnb for creators: www.theitinerantoasis.com Instagram: Caleb on the runway X/Twitter: Caleb Matthws     Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kasia Bukowska—an equine therapist, artist, and mindset mentor—about how horses act as living mirrors for our emotions. Kasia shares her journey from a lupus diagnosis and doctors saying she'd never ride again to regulating her nervous system, rebuilding identity, and teaching connection-first horsemanship. We cover equine-assisted healing, reading energy over “technique,” creating psychological safety with animals, and practical ways non-riders can cultivate grounded presence.   About the guest   Kasia Bukowska is an internationally recognized equine therapist, artist, and mindset mentor. Featured in Sidelines, Horse Illustrated, and on the cover of Barefoot Horse, she blends energy work, emotional awareness, and creative expression to help people release blocks, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with authentic self-trust—partnering with horses as teachers.   Key takeaways: Horses mirror our internal state; they respond to our truth, not our masks, making them powerful partners for nervous system regulation and trauma healing. Connection and energetic safety outperform rigid “technique.” When pressure and performance drop, curiosity and learning rise—for both human and horse. A slower equine heart rate and calm presence entrain us toward steadier breath and body; co-regulation creates conditions for change. Identity work is central: Kasia's healing moved from “riding again” to valuing herself beyond achievement, borrowing her horses' unconditional regard as a bridge to self-worth. Practical start for non-riders: observe animals (even pets) without agenda; notice emotional reactions, breathe, and let insight arise. Presence > control. With dysregulated horses (or people), build safety first: create a protected space, invite play and novelty (e.g., props), reward curiosity, and allow movement to discharge energy. Progress collapses when expectations harden; staying playful, flexible, and patient maintains trust and results. Feeling “stuck” isn't failure—it's a precursor to clarity.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Rachel Lundberg, a movement educator, chronic illness survivor, and founder of Yoga Oak University. Rachel shares her transformative journey from ballet and modern dance to creating a global yoga education platform. Together, they explore how mindful movement, breathwork, and alignment-based yoga can regulate the nervous system, release emotional tension, and support holistic well-being. Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Rachel offers practical insights into using movement as a tool for emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Learn how simple breath practices and conscious movement can unlock deep healing and reconnect you with your authentic self. About the Guest:Rachel Lundberg is a movement educator and founder of Yoga Oak University. A chronic illness survivor and truth-seeker, Rachel combines anatomy, neuroscience, and spirituality in her alignment-based yoga specialist certification programs. She is dedicated to helping individuals and healthcare providers harness the power of mindful movement for emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Key Takeaways: Movement is more than physical exercise; it is a tool for emotional and spiritual processing. Breath regulates the nervous system: inhalation activates sympathetic (fight or flight) responses; exhalation engages parasympathetic (rest and reset) responses. Simple daily practices, like conscious breath and mindful movement, can down-regulate stress and anxiety. Awareness of the body's state—activated, frozen, or depressed—guides personalized practices for healing. Sensory engagement (touch, sound, sight) can help shift energy and increase presence in the moment. Regulation doesn't require advanced yoga; even one mindful movement or one conscious breath can initiate healing. The ABC technique (Acknowledge, Breathe, Connect) helps identify bodily sensations and guide nervous system regulation.

In this insightful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Racheal Blackmore, a certified interrogator, journalist, and former editor-in-chief, to explore the journey from invisibility to authentic self-expression. Racheal shares her personal story of surviving abuse, losing her voice while helping others find theirs, and the slow, transformative process of reclaiming her visibility. This conversation uncovers the challenges heart-led entrepreneurs face in showing up authentically, the impact of trauma on self-expression, and practical steps to confidently share your story while connecting deeply with your audience. About the Guest: Racheal Blackmore is a certified interrogator, trained journalist, and former editor-in-chief with over 14 years of experience helping creators uncover their truths through storytelling. After surviving abuse and losing her own voice, Racheal now empowers entrepreneurs and creators to break free from silence, claim their authenticity, and communicate in ways that create real connection and impact. Key Takeaways: Racheal's journey highlights how trauma can teach us to disappear, making invisibility a form of self-protection. Heart-led entrepreneurs often struggle with visibility not due to strategy, but due to nervous system responses rooted in fear of being seen. Working behind the scenes—ghostwriting, scripting, or following templates—can feel safe but may hinder personal growth and impact. Healing and authentic visibility are gradual processes that require listening to your body, honoring micro-moments, and safely stepping into self-expression. Racheal's “Connect Method” emphasizes starting with recognition of self and others' journeys as the foundation for meaningful connection. The episode challenges listeners to distinguish between using their presence as a shield versus as a service.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Jade Arthur, a language & mindset coach who teaches job seekers in gaming how to reclaim joy during the job hunt. Instead of treating joy as a reward after success, Jade explains practical ways to gamify the process, name and dismantle the fears that stall progress, and use precise language to communicate value. Listen to learn how small rituals, creative reframing, and clearer self-branding make candidates more resilient, authentic, and magnetic in interviews and networking. Ideal for mid-career changers, international job seekers, and anyone stuck in career-search anxiety. About the Guest : Jade Arthur is a Language & Mindset Coach for job seekers in the gaming industry. She blends expert English instruction with mindset coaching and is the creator of Job Search Joy, a program that gamifies job-search obstacles into “villains” (e.g., Cover Letter Crusher) to make progress concrete, creative, and sustainable. Key Takeaways: Joy is a practice, not a finish line — cultivate small, repeatable moments of progress during the job search. Reframe the job hunt as a game: name obstacles (villains) so they become actionable problems to solve. Identify the underlying fear driving frustration (rejection, scarcity, uncertainty) and intentionally work through it. Language matters: more specific questions and descriptions reveal unique value and improve self-branding. Joy fuels productivity — energy and authenticity become persuasive qualifications in interviews. Use creativity to convert repetitive tasks into momentum builders that produce micro-wins and resilience. Spotlighting others (helpful posts) expands network goodwill and shows value without asking directly for a job. Distinguish joy from forced positivity; aim for chosen, constructive reframing rather than superficial optimism. For sustained wellbeing, combine practical supports (medication or therapy when needed) with creative strategies. Post-pandemic job searching requires new tools and updated self-presentation — specify your niche and skills.

In this 30-minute episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, tax expert Carlotta Thompson (founder & CEO of Tax Strategies of America) breaks down practical, legal tax strategies that help entrepreneurs keep more capital and scale faster. Carlotta—an ex-IRS agent turned advocate—explains overlooked credits vs. deductions, when to upgrade from DIY tax software to a professional, and how tax clarity removes the mental drag that limits business growth. If you run a small business or own rental property, this episode gives actionable steps to reduce tax liability, reclaim focus, and use tax-smart moves to build long-term wealth. About the guest: Carlotta Thompson is founder & CEO of Tax Strategies of America and an ex-IRS agent who now helps entrepreneurs and real-estate investors minimize tax legally. She runs trainings and the Pathway to Zero program that teach practical credits, deductions, and structural moves to scale wealth. Key takeaways: Taxes are a common mental block for entrepreneurs; getting tax problems under control frees energy to grow your business. When net business income (after expenses) reaches ~$40,000, invest in a qualified tax professional — TurboTax generally won't capture advanced strategies. Distinguish tax credits (government pays you to do things) from deductions (reduce taxable income); many business activities qualify for credits you're likely missing. Use existing business actions and assets (R&D, accessibility upgrades, equipment repurposed for business) to capture credits — don't buy unnecessary items just for deductions. Keep organized records (spreadsheet or QuickBooks) of all expenses — include previously purchased personal items now used for business (computers, furniture, tools). Ask your accountant “How can I make this a tax deduction?” to promote creative, compliant planning rather than yes/no gatekeeping. Reclassifying or repositioning legitimate costs on returns (when supported by code/publication) can materially lower taxes without extra spending. Consider real estate and buying additional businesses as long-term tax-advantaged growth strategies; structure matters for wealth preservation.   How listeners can connect with Carlotta Thompson  : Search: Carlotta Thompson Finance on TikTok / Instagram / Facebook.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Jeffrey Weiss shares his inspiring journey of discovering endurance sports at 48, turning a casual 10K into Ironman finishes, ultramarathons, and a philosophy that audacity can be trained. We explore how fitness became his compass for midlife reinvention, why healthspan is a leadership skill, and practical strategies for staying consistent, fueling the body, and managing risk. Whether you're new to endurance sports or looking for motivation to embrace challenges in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, Jeffrey's story proves it's never too late to push limits. About the Guest:Jeffrey Weiss began his endurance journey at 48 and has since completed marathons, Ironman races, and ultramarathons. His work focuses on pushing human potential, cultivating consistency, and using physical endurance as a metaphor for life and leadership. Jeffrey's experience underscores that audacity and healthspan can be intentionally trained at any age. Key Takeaways: Starting late doesn't limit achievement: consistent, small habits compound into extraordinary results. Endurance sports teach focus, risk management, and mental clarity transferable to work and life. Healthspan, not just lifespan, is a critical leadership and life skill. Chunking challenges into smaller, manageable goals prevents overwhelm and builds momentum. A structured routine—sleep, strength, zone 2 cardio, recovery—is essential for long-term fitness. Fueling and diet strategies, like plant-forward or modified vegetarian diets, support sustainable endurance. Cross-training reduces injury risk and ensures balanced fitness progress. Age-appropriate goal setting balances audacity with realism, preventing unnecessary injury while encouraging growth. Micro-commitments and daily consistency outperform sporadic bursts of effort over time.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Dr. Amy Tiffany—physician, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, author, and mom—about navigating high-achiever burnout, redefining “balance,” and protecting mental and physical health while building a career and raising a family. We dig into prioritization frameworks (faith, family, fitness), saying no without guilt, postpartum and perimenopause realities, and why employers should normalize women's health conversations. Practical strategies include micro-workouts, habit redesign, and value-aligned boundaries. If you're juggling business goals, parenting, and wellbeing, this episode gives clear, actionable steps that translate across work and home—no fluff, just what works.   About the Guest  : Dr. Amy Tiffany is a physician, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and author focused on humanizing healthcare and rebuilding trust in medicine. She supports ambitious women through postpartum, perimenopause, and metabolic shifts so they can reclaim energy, confidence, and peace of mind.   Key Takeaways: Balance is a prioritization problem, not a perfection goal—decide your top three and act accordingly. “Work is a rubber ball; family and health are glass.” Protect the glass first. Guilt often stems from inherited expectations; replace “shoulds” with value-aligned choices. Postpartum complications (e.g., preeclampsia, gestational diabetes) predict long-term cardiometabolic risk—plan follow-ups. Perimenopause can intermittently impair sleep, memory, and productivity; workplaces should normalize support. Micro-workouts work: stack 10-minute, moderate-to-vigorous bouts to meet movement goals. Reduce friction to act (e.g., leave walking shoes by the treadmill, pre-stage gear). Say “no” to preserve quality—saying yes to everything undercuts what you claim to value. Thought hygiene matters: notice body signals (tension, stomach tightness) and audit the thought driving them. “CEO moms” need systems: one volunteer commitment at a time, scheduled health checks, and simplified meal planning. Seek external perspective (coach/clinician/mentor) early; sustainable change is iterative. Outcome > optics: redesign routines to match your season of life, not an idealized standard.   Connect with the Guest   Instagram/Threads: @dramytiffany Website: http://www.vitalitymwc.org/ Book: The Postpartum Pivot (available on Amazon/Kindle)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf speaks with Kevin Hipes—entrepreneur, Central Florida real estate developer, former elected official, church elder, musician, and author of Book of Me. Kevin traces an undiagnosed decades-long cycle of highs and deep depressions, a midlife collapse, and the pragmatic steps that steadied his life: professional diagnosis, medication under supervision, workload reduction, and structured re-entry to work. He explains why he later (with his doctor) adjusted meds to regain mental sharpness without triggering depressive episodes, and how faith, family accountability, and service to others keep his drive from tipping into mania or burnout. Straight talk on suicidal ideation, returning to work after time off, and using creativity (YouTube storytelling, a memoir, music) as regulated outlets. Clear, useful, and no fluff—this conversation focuses on what actually helps.   About the Guest  : Kevin Hipes is a business leader and storyteller based in Central Florida. He has managed large retail portfolios, served in public office, fronts the YouTube channel Planet Hipes, released legacy tracks with his band The End on Spotify, and wrote the memoir Book of Me about entrepreneurship, bipolar disorder, faith, and starting over at 60.   Key Takeaways: Get a clinical diagnosis early; don't white-knuckle recurring depressions. Work with a psychiatrist and follow medical guidance. Medication is a tool: never start/stop or adjust without a doctor. If side effects blunt performance, discuss supervised adjustments. Reduce overload during recovery: pare roles, step back from public duties, and rebuild capacity in stages with your family looped in. Relapse prevention: even when stable, keep treatment, sleep, and routines tight; don't “feel fine” your way off meds. Return-to-work script: you don't owe your full story—share what's necessary, then execute. Confidence rebuilds through action. Purpose controls intensity: faith, service, and accountability partners can channel high energy into consistent, non-destructive output. Tell your story (writing/video) to integrate experience, reduce shame, and help others. Reframe identity: a condition can be part of your edge when it's treated, monitored, and supported.   If you're in immediate crisis, contact local emergency services or your regional suicide prevention helpline.

A direct, practical conversation on using Yoga Nidra and guided meditation to reset an overworked nervous system, shift out of chronic fight-or-flight, and rebuild identity after trauma. Danielle Matthews unpacks how accepting “what is,” inserting clear intentions in the Nidra state, and consistent practice can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and cultivate steady presence. We examine mental “tigers” created by news, social feeds, and deadlines, and how Inner Reset–style practices help you respond instead of react—without mystical fluff or medical claims.   About the guest   Danielle Matthews is a Yoga Nidra and yoga therapy practitioner who rebuilt her life after a traumatic brain injury. Her work focuses on nervous system regulation, intention-led practice, and practical tools for peace under pressure. She leads private and group sessions and an “Inner Reset” series.   Key takeaways: Acceptance precedes change: reality (external event) + your internal response = your lived experience; shift the internal variable first. Yoga Nidra is “meditation made easy”: lie down, follow guidance, and let breath/body-scan sequences guide brainwaves toward deep rest. Immediate benefits many notice: better sleep, fewer escalations of migraines/anxiety, and more emotional space to choose responses. Chronic stress today is driven by “mental tigers” (worry loops, news, social feeds). Without deliberate down-regulation, cortisol stays high and resilience drops. Intention inside Nidra matters: plant a precise way-of-being (e.g., “I am at peace amidst chaos”) while beneath habitual thought; it resurfaces in daily stressors. Consistency beats intensity: short, regular guided sessions build capacity faster than occasional long sits. Use Nidra to complement—not replace—medical care; it's a behavioral practice for regulation and awareness. Skeptical or “not a meditator”? Start with a comfortable 15–20-minute guided Nidra lying down; no special posture or prior experience needed.   How to connect with the guest   YouTube: @healwithdanielle All of Danielle's social links are listed on her channel's About section.

Author and PR/crisis-communications consultant John P. David joins Healthy Mind, Healthy Life to unpack the real-world spark behind his debut mystery novel, The Bystander—a story launched by a viral video of an active-shooter incident and the cascade of fame, perception, and responsibility that follows. We dig into how media lenses shape “truth,” what virality does to decision-making, and why fiction can help us metabolize hard topics like PTSD, manipulation, and public scrutiny. John also shares a direct, workable path for first-time authors—from tightening the craft to assembling the right editorial help—so you can actually finish and publish your book. If you care about storytelling, reputation, and mental health in an always-on media world, this conversation is for you.   About the Guest  : John P. David is a seasoned public relations and crisis-communications consultant, author of the business book How to Protect (or Destroy) Your Reputation Online, and now a debut mystery novelist. His first novel, The Bystander (Duel Publishing), has been long-listed and recognized by multiple awards and noted for its timely, thought-provoking plot.   Key Takeaways: Viral footage doesn't equal universal “truth.” The same clip can drive polar opposite conclusions depending on viewers' priors and context. Speed changes judgment. Always-on sharing compresses reflection time and can push institutions and individuals toward snap decisions. Story over stance. The Bystander is entertainment first, yet it threads real issues—gun culture debates, PTSD, and media manipulation—so the world feels authentic. Fame has a shadow. Sudden visibility from viral moments can invite exploitation and distort a person's self-narrative. Fiction as processing. Novels create safe distance to explore contentious topics and emotional fallout without writing a “position paper.” Writing tip #1: Start anyway. You learn the game by playing—draft, revise, and keep momentum. Writing tip #2: Don't go solo. Hire editors to pressure-test structure, pacing, and clarity; polished mechanics (grammar, proofing) are non-negotiable. Writing tip #3: Map your path. There are multiple viable routes to readers; choose one and execute consistently. Communications lesson: Pictures may be “worth a thousand words,” but video can be “worth ten thousand”—and require even more ethical care. Mental-health lens: Public crises impact people privately; recognize trauma responses and build supports accordingly.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://byjohndavid.substack.com/Book: The Bystander — available via major online retailers (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.).Events, reviews, and updates are listed on his website.     Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Born during the pandemic, it's become a sanctuary for healing, growth, and mindful living. Hosted by Avik Chakraborty—storyteller, survivor, wellness advocate—this channel shares powerful podcasts and soul-nurturing conversations on: • Mental Health & Emotional Well-being• Mindfulness & Spiritual Growth• Holistic Healing & Conscious Living• Trauma Recovery & Self-Empowerment With over 4,400+ episodes and 168.4K+ global listeners, join us as we unite voices, break stigma, and build a world where every story matters.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with veteran wellness coach Carlos A. Reyes about building a long, capable life after 50. The conversation is direct and practical: why self-care is a strategy, not a luxury, how strength training and sleep protect bone density, cognition, and independence, and how mindset + accountability keep you consistent. Carlos shares a client story—from not being able to tie shoes at 70 to playing on the floor with a grandchild—illustrating how smart training and recovery compound. If you want clear steps to extend your healthspan alongside your lifespan, this one's built to help you start now.   About the guest  : Carlos A. Reyes is a wellness coach and certified personal trainer with 35+ years in health and fitness. He specializes in helping active adults 50+ stay strong, mobile, and mentally sharp through holistic coaching that blends strength, recovery, nutrition, and real-world accountability.   Key takeaways: Self-care is not indulgence; it's the operating system for longevity and performance after 50. Consistency beats intensity. Use Carlos's Three P's of Exercise Adherence: Post it, Plan it, Promote it for built-in accountability. Strength training is non-negotiable to maintain muscle mass, support bone density, and reduce fall risk as you age. Sleep is the master recovery tool. Poor sleep undermines hormones, mood, and training progress. Mindset moves the body. Believe you can improve at any age; then act accordingly. Start with why (health, independence, confidence), then decide how (walk, lift, sleep, eat), and let momentum build. Community matters. Tell family, friends, and coworkers your plan so they can support—and hold you accountable. Aim to align lifespan and healthspan: live longer and live well, not just longer. Reduce environmental and mental stressors; recovery and emotional regulation are part of training. Small wins stack. Regaining everyday abilities (tying shoes, getting off the floor) signals real, functional progress.   How to connect with the guest   Connect with Carlos A. Reyes on LinkedIn and Facebook.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik digs into how fitness and healthcare can finally work as one system. Dr. Kevin Brown—Doctor of Physical Therapy, CSCS, and founder of Performance Therapy Fitness (Gahanna, OH)—lays out a practical, scalable model that connects rehab to strength training for adults 40–50+ so they move better, build resilience, and stay pain-free. We cover individualized movement assessments, habit-building, safe progression, and why “movement health” (strength, mobility, balance, control) should be tracked like blood pressure. If you lead a clinic, run a gym, or you're simply aging actively, this conversation gives you a blueprint to merge prevention, performance, and long-term independence.   About the guest  : Dr. Kevin Brown is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. He founded Performance Therapy Fitness to bridge rehab and fitness under one roof, helping adults—especially 50+—gain strength, restore confidence, and maintain pain-free movement for life.   Key takeaways: “Movement health” = strength, mobility, balance, motor control; track it like vitals. Most PT discharges don't equal real-life readiness; a guided fitness continuum closes the gap. Adults 40–50+ often repeat injury cycles by returning to old workouts without foundations. Start with an individualized assessment (goals, history, habits) + movement screen. Safe progressions reduce fear: workouts should work muscles, not flare joints. Two to three days/week of strength training plus weekly cardio minutes is a durable baseline. Prevention belongs inside programming: mobility, stability, and tissue work are baked in. Clinics and gyms can align through shared protocols and consistent language to patients. Scalable systems—not star clinicians—enable this model to spread across locations. Future state: annual “movement health” checks trigger early referrals, preserving independence.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://performancetherapy1.com/ Connect with Dr. Kevin Brown on LinkedIn (search by name + clinic) Preferred: reach out via the clinic's website/contact page for assessments and programs   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Andrew Tansil, founder of Sayulita Wellness Retreat in Mexico, about how medically supervised, legal psychedelic-assisted experiences can help individuals and couples address burnout, depression, disconnection, and long-stuck emotional patterns. Andrew shares his own turning point, why preparation and integration matter as much as the medicine, and how a clear, values-aligned program can improve outcomes without hype. This conversation is direct, educational, and grounded in safety, consent, and legality—useful for listeners exploring evidence-informed options for mental health and relationship repair.   About the guest  : Andrew Tansil is the founder of Sayulita Wellness Retreat, a medically supervised plant-medicine center in Mexico. A former roofing contractor who battled years of mental-health challenges, Andrew's personal transformation led him to build structured, safety-first retreat programs that blend preparation, guided experience, and post-retreat integration for individuals and couples.   Key takeaways : Healing starts with honesty: acknowledge misalignment between outer success and inner well-being. Preparation matters: education, diet and routine adjustments, intention setting, and integration improve outcomes. Safety and legality first: medically supervised experiences in legal jurisdictions; the container is as critical as the compound. Two-step change pattern: release stuck emotions and map a clear future anchored in values and purpose. Rewiring life post-experience: rebuild beliefs and habits intentionally (patience, confidence, relational skills). Couples benefit from shared frameworks: structured programs help reconnect, communicate, and repair trust. Demand is rising: therapeutic platforms will expand as cultures seek viable options for mental health and trauma. Results require systems: multidisciplinary teams, evidence-informed protocols, and ethical marketing reduce risk.   How to connect with the guest   Website: Sayulita Wellness Retreat Social: Instagram and YouTube — @sayulitawellnessretreat   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty explores how perception shapes reality with Tricia Rose Stone, an optometrist-turned-transformational coach. Drawing on her New Lens Method, Tricia shows how awareness, belief re-patterning, and daily embodiment help people move from shame and self-doubt to clarity and possibility—especially in relationships. We break down practical steps for noticing the “lens” you're wearing, loosening old narratives, and aligning actions with what you truly deserve. Direct, grounded, and immediately usable for anyone navigating reinvention.   About the guest  : Tricia Rose Stone practiced optometry for 20 years before transitioning into coaching. Her work translates the instant clarity of the right physical lens into inner change: adjust the lens, and life looks different. She helps clients—especially women rebuilding after heartbreak—shift perception, embody new beliefs, and create aligned relationships and outcomes.   Key takeaways: Awareness first: notice you're “wearing a lens” largely imprinted by caregivers by age 7–8; seeing that lens creates room to change it. Rework beliefs: identify the stories the old lens carries (shame, fear, self-doubt) and break them apart to open space for new perspectives. Envision clearly: once space opens, define what you truly want—purpose, partnership, or a new chapter—and hold that vision. Embody daily: the hardest part is living the new belief. Use simple accountability (daily checklist) to stabilize the new “frequency.” Progress is gradual: shifts can be quick (weeks) or take months. Don't force “manifestation”; surrender to a natural, honest process. Relationships: some healing is needed to enter a healthy partnership, and deeper healing often occurs inside the relationship itself. Practical cue: when you slip into the “old lens,” pause, name the lens, and choose one aligned action that the “new lens” would take today.   Connect with the guest  : Website: https://triciarosestone.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Waves with host Avik Chakraborty, three practitioners unpack practical ways to heal and build real stamina—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Veronique Ory (author of Shine On and Off the Mat) shows how breath and presence regulate stress and translate beyond the mat. Jennifer Robb, NP (author of Warrior Mom Rising) lays out clear steps for mothers to advocate for teens facing anxiety, depression, and self-harm—without burning out. Timothy Ward (author of The GOAT Within) explains his Fitness Quadrant—resistance training, nutrition, cardio, and recovery—to protect muscle, heart strength, and metabolic health as we age. Direct, grounded, and usable the same day. About the guests   Veronique Ory — Yoga teacher, storyteller, and creator of SHINE membership; focuses on breath-led movement for regulation and longevity. Author of Shine On and Off the Mat. Jennifer Robb, NP — Clinician and advocate for parents navigating adolescent mental health; author of Warrior Mom Rising and host of a community for “Warrior Moms.” Timothy Ward — Fitness and longevity mentor. Trains clients 40–80+ using his Fitness Quadrant framework. Author of The GOAT Within. Key takeaways : Breath is a portable regulator: train longer, nasal breaths and apply them in real-life triggers (conflict, commutes, difficult news), not just in class. Build stress capacity on purpose: controlled physical “stress” (yoga holds, strength work, cold/heat exposure as appropriate) teaches the nervous system to recover instead of overreact. For parents: advocacy is ongoing, not a one-off. Choose clinicians who engage, adjust what's not working, and combine care plans with root-cause work and appropriate, clinician-guided treatment. Protect the three longevity levers: muscle mass, cardiovascular fitness, metabolic health—via resistance training, individualized nutrition, cardio protocols, and deliberate recovery. Community prevents isolation spirals. Curate your circle; “show me your friends and I'll show you your future.” Progress is incremental. Break unhelpful loops, stack small wins, and choose environments that align with who you're becoming.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty huddles with Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs—co-founders of Huddle for Success and authors of Playbook for Life—about clear goal-setting, wealth strategies that last, and the mindset required to get unstuck. We dig into belief, accountability, and why a “huddle” (mastermind/team) beats solo hustle. Expect practical tools you can run today: the 6-task productivity method, journaling to design goals, and reframing burnout with smarter thinking over busier doing. About the guests : Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs bring 70+ years of combined experience as entrepreneurs, educators, and performance coaches. Mark grew up with coaches, achieved semi-retirement by 36, and teaches clarity, desire, and belief as the core of achievement. Duane moved from construction and real estate investing into decades of national training, guiding thousands on mindset, strategy, and disciplined action. Together they run Huddle for Success and wrote Playbook for Life. Key takeaways : Write one clear goal in the present tense (“I am… I have…”) and revisit it daily to focus your mind. Use the 6-task method: each night list the six highest-impact actions for tomorrow, prioritize, and execute in order. Journal to see patterns, identify obstacles, and convert vague wishes into measurable goals and quick wins. Get comfortable being uncomfortable; momentum begins when you act before you feel perfectly ready. Belief beats busyness: hard work matters, but mindset and thinking differently create breakthroughs (the “open door” vs. the fly at the window). Replace solo grind with a huddle/mastermind—accountability, perspective, and better questions accelerate results. Don't compare your path to others; define success on your terms and celebrate progress. Combat burnout by simplifying inputs, aligning actions with purpose, and executing consistently, not endlessly. Common blocker at every level: self-doubt. Counter it with evidence (small wins), coaching, and clear why-statements (ask “why” seven times). Immediate action: grab the free Playbook for Life, schedule a 45-minute huddle, and run your first 6-task list today. How to connect with the guests  : Playbook for Life and 45-minute Huddle Session - grab a free e-copy of guests' book "PLAYBOOK FOR LIFE" and a Free 45 minute Huddle session to help them gain clarity to an area that they just feel stuck in.

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty explores how inner change sticks when faith-driven mindset work meets neuroscience—and where ancient botanicals can (and can't) support calm focus. Dr. Laurette Willis (founder, Weight Loss Without Willpower) breaks down renewing the mind (Romans 12:2), CBT-based tools, and a quick bilateral stimulation reset for cravings. Entrepreneur Robert Lattig (Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar) shares the cultural roots and modern research interest around Sceletium (Kana) and Kava, plus ethical sourcing with Indigenous partners in South Africa. Together, they examine belief, habit loops, neuroplasticity, and practical daily rituals—without romanticizing shortcuts or ignoring safety. About the guests  : Dr. Laurette Willis — Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Christian Neuro-Coach; creator of Weight Loss Without Willpower and PraiseMoves. Focus: renewing the mind with Scripture and habit change tools. Robert Lattig — Founder, Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar; e-commerce herbal entrepreneur invested in farm-to-formula supply and cultural stewardship for Kana/Kava. Key takeaways: Renewing the mind is daily work: observe thoughts, interrupt the loop, replace with truth-based affirmations (e.g., 2 Corinthians 10:4–5; 1 Corinthians 6:12). Bilateral stimulation (simple left-right passing of an object) can help disrupt craving pathways when paired with a boundary statement. Neuroplasticity supports lasting change when beliefs, behaviors, and body cues align—awareness before action. Kana/Kava are discussed for calm focus and emotional regulation; any use should be informed, legal in your region, and medically supervised if you take prescriptions. Ethics matter: honoring plant origins means fair employment, local reinvestment, and transparent sourcing—not extraction. A sustainable ritual: combine a 2-minute thought audit, bilateral reset, and a values-aligned affirmation; if exploring botanicals, start with education and clinician guidance. How to connect with the guests:   Dr. Laurette Willis: Free mini-course — http://christianweightlosskit.com/ , free gift for listeners, "The Faith-Fueled Weight Loss Blueprint." It comes with a Downloadable Guide and Mini-Course Training video for women of faith who feel stuck in the cycle of overeating and regain.   Robert Lattig: Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar (first-time offer mentioned in episode) Educational only. Not medical advice. Do not start/stop medication or supplements without guidance from a qualified clinician.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Noah May, creator of the Lethal Venom podcast, about navigating depression since age 13, an atypical anxiety diagnosis in 2020, and why speaking openly became his turning point. This direct, no-fluff conversation covers stigma, isolation, therapy, and using media to normalize mental health dialogue for young adults. If you're building resilience, clarifying what “success” means beyond burnout, or looking for language to start your own conversation, this episode is for you.   About the Guest  : Noah May is a journalist and host of the Lethal Venom podcast (plus two additional shows). He uses long-form conversation to tell the unfiltered truth about mental health, giving voice to those who feel unheard.   Key Takeaways: Early signs can be confusing: Noah's anxiety presented primarily as persistent morning nausea and weight loss—proof that symptoms don't always match the textbook. Stigma is shifting, slowly: more people share today than a decade ago, but fear of judgment still keeps many silent. Isolation compounds pain: feeling like an outcast led Noah to “stay small”; sharing his story reversed that pattern. Speaking up is a first step to healing: openness revealed real support and helped Noah reclaim self-trust. Redefining success: without self-care, “achievement” becomes another form of burnout; sustainable success includes mental health. Therapy works: professional help and ongoing self-work were pivotal in Noah's recovery and day-to-day stability. Community matters: platforms like podcasts can normalize help-seeking and model vulnerability for younger listeners. Practical cue: if symptoms don't look “typical,” still seek evaluation—atypical presentations are real and treatable.

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, author and musician Ray Hartjen shares how a 2019 multiple myeloma diagnosis reframed his life. We unpack his “timeline” exercise, growth-mindset habits, and the mottos that keep him moving: “If not now, when?” and “Punch today in the face.” Ray explains how writing his memoir, Me, Myself, and My Multiple Myeloma, turned one-to-one support into one-to-many advocacy, and why relationships—not routines—belong at the center of our days. Practical, candid, and immediately usable for anyone navigating illness, uncertainty, or a needed reset.   About the guest  : Ray Hartjen is a writer, musician, and storyteller whose career spans banking, pharma, consumer electronics, and SaaS. After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2019, he transformed his fight into service—publishing books, performing with The Chronic Padres, and advocating for patients and caregivers worldwide.   Key takeaways: Use the “timeline” exercise: mark Birth and Death, then locate “where you are now” to stop taking time—and people—for granted. Shift from crisis-driven change to daily practice: schedule what matters with who matters. Growth mindset is whole-self work: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual domains rise or sink together. Anchor actions with clear mottos: “If not now, when?” drives starts; “Use up today” drives follow-through. Storytelling heals and scales support: writing a candid memoir turned private messages into community impact and hope. Purpose audit for work–life fit: when values and calendar diverge, joy and peace degrade—re-align deliberately. Service expands resilience: engaging other patients and caregivers creates meaning beyond metrics. .  How to connect with the guest   Search “Ray Hartjen” on social platforms to connect directly.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with performance coach and author Timothy Ward about building a strong body and a resilient mind after 40. Timothy shares how athletics helped him survive a violent childhood, and why muscle mass, heart strength, and metabolic health are the real longevity markers that add quality years. We break down his Fitness Quadrant (training, cardio, recovery, and nutrition), the science behind resistance training, and practical ways to create a preemptive plan that pushes back against aging. If you're 40–75 and tired of watered-down “fitspo,” this episode offers a clear, no-nonsense blueprint to get strong, stay mobile, and live with intent.   About the guest  : Timothy Ward is a global performance coach and author of The GOAT Within. Drawing on three decades in exercise science and coaching—from everyday professionals to elite athletes—he designs custom, science-based programs that integrate resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, recovery, and nutrition.   Key takeaways  : The three longevity markers: preserve and (ideally) increase muscle mass, develop heart strength, and improve metabolic efficiency through targeted training and nutrition. Muscle is metabolic “engine”: resistance training (bands, bodyweight, dumbbells, cables, barbells) preserves mobility, bone density, and insulin sensitivity. Heart strength matters: calculated cardio can thicken the left ventricular wall, lower resting heart rate, and improve circulation. Metabolic strength: reduce ultra-processed foods, industrial seed oils, and additives; prioritize protein, whole foods, fiber, and smart fueling. Preemptive beats reactive: start in your 20s–30s if you can; in your 40s–60s, learn the fundamentals and create a weekly, adequate (not minimal) program. The Fitness Quadrant: training + cardio + recovery + nutrition—customized to your current condition—beats one-size-fits-all plans. Mind–body loop: consistent physical training improves mood, resilience, and mental clarity, not just physique. Strategy over willpower: knowledge, structure, and progressive overload change the trajectory more reliably than “motivation.”   Connect with the guest   Website: fitnessquadrant.net Book: The GOAT Within on Amazon   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Most people start fitness strong and fall off. Mike Laird—coach, former director at a top global fitness company, cancer survivor, and mentor to six-figure trainers—breaks down why retention collapses and how to build systems that last. We get real about motivation vs. action, the “all-or-nothing” trap, social media noise, and the leadership skills that keep both clients and coaches engaged. If you lead a team, run a gym, or just want health that sticks, this conversation gives you a direct playbook for consistency, communication, and balance that works on the gym floor and in business.   About the Guest  : Mike Laird is an operations-minded health and business coach, lifelong athlete with a baseball background, and a family-first leader. He's helped dozens of trainers build sustainable six-figure practices and rebuilt his own life after a rare, life-threatening cancer—proving that discipline plus perspective beats hustle-and-burnout culture.   Key Takeaways: Retention fails when we do “too much, too fast”; sustainable change needs a paced entry and clear steps. Action precedes motivation. Small, repeatable actions create the momentum most people wait for. The “all-or-nothing” narrative is a myth; fit the program around your life, not your life into a program. Social media “influencer” advice often causes paralysis by analysis; most of it isn't built for 99% of people. Trainers burn out when they're thrown in without development; business skills and people skills are trainable. Leaders who know their people—their goals, personality types, and communication styles—keep teams engaged longer. Relationship building and a nurtured lead book beat quick wins; systems matter more than streaks. Balance isn't a luxury; it's a retention strategy—for clients, coaches, and executives. Freedom after crisis looks like presence and priorities; loosen the calendar when it serves the mission. Stack good days. Consistency, not perfection, compounds in health, business, and life.   Connect with the Guest   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/axisperformancetx/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode, Avik Kandas engages in a heartfelt conversation with Leif Gregersen, a mental health advocate who shares his personal journey with bipolar disorder. They discuss the complexities of mental health, the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness, and how helping others can be a powerful tool for healing. Leif emphasizes the need for education and understanding in mental health, offering advice for families supporting loved ones and encouragement for those struggling with their mental health. The episode serves as a reminder that recovery is possible and that sharing our stories can foster compassion and connection. Takeaways Mental health journeys are deeply personal and often non-linear. Leif Gregersen's story highlights the importance of sharing experiences to educate others. Helping others can be a form of healing for oneself. Stigma surrounding mental illness needs to be addressed through open conversations. Education about mental health should be integrated into school curriculums. Companionship with others who understand mental illness is crucial for support. Recovery is a gradual process that requires persistence and support. Families should connect with support groups to better assist their loved ones. Compassion and understanding can bridge the gap between fear and acceptance. Mental health advocacy is essential for creating awareness and reducing stigma.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Mental Health Awareness 01:58 Leif's Journey: From Struggle to Advocacy 06:53 The Healing Power of Helping Others 10:16 Breaking the Stigma of Mental Illness 12:41 Advice for Families Supporting Loved Ones 13:53 Words of Hope for Those Struggling   Watch Video - https://youtu.be/sgS4ZPOi77o    Reach Leif: Website: www.edmontonwriter.com Substack: https://leifgregersen.substack.com   Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Laura Watson, founder of Venture Coaching International, about leading from the inside out. We unpack the gap between surface success and inner alignment, how guided psychedelic journeys can unlock core beliefs, and a practical framework for emotional mastery under pressure. Expect clear, actionable insights for executives, entrepreneurs, and team leads who want sustainable performance, better decision-making, and authentic leadership.   About the Guest   Laura Watson is a leadership and business coach with 30+ years guiding owners and executives. Her work bridges classic performance coaching with guided psychedelic journeys and integration, helping clients reconnect to authenticity, dissolve limiting beliefs, and lead with clarity.   Key Takeaways: Conscious leadership goes deeper than skills. It reconnects leaders to authenticity instead of copying past examples. “Be quick, but don't hurry.” Mastery comes from focused practice; speed follows after skills are integrated—avoid random busyness. Symptoms vs. core issues. Procrastination, conflict, or disorganization often mask deeper beliefs and narratives formed by upbringing, education, and systems. Psychedelics as door-openers. Properly guided journeys can widen one's sense of possibility and agency; the real work is post-journey integration. Emotional mastery in three steps: notice the trigger, shift from resistance to acceptance, then choose deliberate action. Lower emotional temperature to regain logic. You can't be fully emotional and fully logical at once; regulate before deciding. Freedom follows mastery. Less reactivity creates time freedom, fewer workplace escalations, and better outcomes. Lead conversations, not drama. One thoughtful dialogue can prevent wasteful escalations and save time, money, and relationships.   How to Connect with the Guest   https://venturecoaching.ca/ LinkedIn    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM — Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Rebecca Payne to examine how unresolved trauma shows up at work—from micromanagement and perfectionism to dissociation, people-pleasing, and chronic burnout. We break down red flags leaders should not ignore, why psychological safety drives performance and retention, and practical boundary resets employees can start today. This is a direct, no-fluff guide to trauma-informed culture, sustainable productivity, and healthier team dynamics   About the guest  : Dr. Rebecca Payne is a California-based licensed psychologist who translates clinical psychology into clear, useful conversations about anxiety, relationships, money, identity, and behavior patterns. She helps individuals and organizations recognize trauma echoes and build safer, more effective ways of working.   Key takeaways  : Trauma travels to work: micromanagement, shutdown during feedback, dissociation in meetings, and perfectionism can be trauma echoes impacting team performance. Two common trauma responses: hyperarousal (defensiveness, quick anger) vs. dissociation (zoning out, forgetting), each with distinct risks at work. Boundary pitfalls: chronic yes-saying and overwork are boundary issues that accelerate burnout and harm results. Leader red flags: excessive people-pleasing, distrust of authority, poor sleep/visible stress, tearfulness, or freeze responses signal deeper issues. Psychological safety pays: trauma-informed environments innovate more, perform better, and retain longer—it's operationally smart, not just “nice.” Start small with “no”: assess your workload realistically and practice low-stakes no's; protect workouts and personal time to rebuild capacity. Name your pattern: invite feedback—e.g., “If I start to control details, call it out”—to open safer, non-therapeutic workplace dialogue. Body as data: notice heart rate, sweating, or memory blanks after meetings; those signals can map what needs healing.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://itsdoctorpayne.com/ Instagram: @itsdoctorpayne TikTok: @itsdoctorpayne   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik engages in a transformative conversation with Alisha Kapani, who shares her journey from struggling with severe depression to discovering the power of surrender and mind-body medicine. Alisha emphasizes that healing is not solely about external actions but involves an internal shift in consciousness and emotional awareness. The discussion explores the importance of letting go of control, the role of beliefs in shaping reality, and the integration of science and spirituality in healing practices. Alisha offers practical advice for listeners feeling stuck in their healing journey, encouraging them to embrace awareness and compassion towards their emotions. Takeaways Healing is not just about what we do, but how we surrender. Many people try everything except looking within for healing. Surrendering can create an opening for healing resources to appear. The intention behind healing actions matters more than the actions themselves. Your body knows how to dissolve emotion and heal itself. Awareness is the medicine that allows the body to heal. Beliefs shape our reality and can block healing. Mind-body medicine focuses on welcoming emotions for true healing. There is a bridge between science and spirituality in healing. Healing is possible, and you do not have to manage pain forever.
