Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In Healthy Waves, host Yusuf sits down with Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. to unpack what burnout reveals that “success” can hide, and how consciousness practices can support a real life reset. They get practical about early warning signals, inner guidance, and protecting yourself when you are vulnerable and healing. This episode is for anyone feeling drained, reactive, or stuck in high achieving mode while quietly running out of energy. You will leave with simple tools like dream reflection, breath releases, and a grounded framework for discernment in holistic spaces. About the Guest: Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. is the founder of ConciRise. He has a PhD in theory and social foundations and has worked in psychometrics, behavioral analysis, and systems level human research. Key Takeaways: Spot burnout early: fatigue, low motivation, and “not myself” reactions Use dreams as data: track themes and reflect on what they are signaling Raise discernment when seeking holistic support: look for vetted practitioners Try active imagination: personify a habit or urge and have a written dialogue Use breath as a reset: inhale what supports you, exhale what no longer serves you How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.conscirise.com/ LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube Learn more about ConsciRise and join the community for conscious seekers and practitioners.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Stan Kurtz, founder of Quantum Research, to explore why so many people feel foggy, wired, inflamed, or stuck, even when they are trying to live “healthy.” This conversation is for anyone dealing with chronic stress, low energy, anxious loops, or persistent brain fog and wondering what else might be driving it. Stan shares how he uses microscopy, metabolic mapping, and pattern analysis to look for possible stressors like water-related contaminants, heavy metals, pesticide residues, and long-lasting medication remnants, plus why nervous system regulation can change how we think and respond fast. About the Guest: Stan Kurtz is the founder of Quantum Research. His work uses microscopy, metabolic mapping, and pattern analysis to study factors that may interfere with clarity and performance. His journey began after his son was diagnosed with autism. Key Takeaways: If your mind keeps looping on the past or future, ask what is driving fight-or-flight. Common “load factors” he looks for include heavy metals and pesticide residues. Water quality matters more than people think, so be intentional about what you drink. Regulation can shift your ability to problem-solve even when circumstances stay hard. Consider tracking patterns (sleep, stress, digestion, focus) before chasing quick fixes.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Danny Meese, founder of Ville, to explore a bold idea: what if technology improved our mental health by pushing us offline, not pulling us deeper into screens? This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in doomscrolling, socially drained, or disconnected. Danny shares how short-form feeds can quietly reduce our motivation for real-world interaction, and what to change this week so your phone supports the life you actually want. About the Guest: Danny Meese is the creator of Ville, an app designed to help people discover and host real-life events using simple 5-second clips. He's a designer and creative director with a wide-ranging background, including designing the Peacock logo. Key Takeaways: Delete one “endless feed” app this week and replace it with tools that enhance real life Build community through repeat events (same place, same time, weekly) Make connection easier by sharing clear event details, like a calendar invite If you're not “social,” start with low-pressure connection (show up, nod, stay 20 minutes) Practice real authenticity by talking about what genuinely interests you Use tech as a bridge: plan one simple hangout instead of watching other people's lives How to Connect With the Guest: Find Danny on https://ville.social/  (Android or iPhone) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

If you feel stuck between wanting peace and wanting progress, this conversation will land.

You can be doing “everything right” and still feel off: poor sleep, low energy, brain fog, and slipping motivation. This episode reframes the hidden factor many high-performing men overlook: regular social drinking. If you're a man in your 40s or 50s who drinks “normally” but feels like your performance is sliding, Clifford Stephan shares why a longer, strategic break (not a quick dry month) can help you reset sleep, mood, cravings, and resilience, without shame or extreme labels. About the Guest: Clifford Stephan is the founder of Booze Vacation, a men's health movement for high-performing men in their 40s and 50s. He studied nutritional science at Cal Poly SLO and spent over 20 years running a consulting business in Silicon Valley. Key Takeaways: Use a 3 to 6 month break to truly re-stabilize sleep, mood, and stress response Track drinks, last drink time, and morning energy to spot patterns fast Build a “social game plan” so events stay fun without alcohol Expect cravings for sugar and caffeine when sleep is disrupted Focus on sequence: stop the disruptor first, then optimize diet, training, recovery How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://boozevacation.com/  Men's health assessment quiz: https://boozevacation.scoreapp.com/  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with bestselling author and keynote speaker David McNally to explore what it truly means to age with vitality. David reframes “successful aging” away from surface markers like money or staying busy, and toward something deeper: rich life experiences, meaningful contribution, and a compelling reason to get up each morning. He shares how many people feel lost after retirement because their sense of relevance was validated externally—through meetings, emails, and titles—until it suddenly disappears. The remedy, he explains, is finding relevance from within by rediscovering mission, gifts, and service. David offers grounded, practical ways to reconnect with purpose: reflect on what inspires you, who inspires you, and what fulfills you, then choose where your talents can add value. He also challenges the “too old” mindset, emphasizing that creativity expires only when we do—and that the brain and imagination can keep expanding. Finally, he highlights acceptance and peace of mind as essential to aging well, and recommends simple daily habits like journaling, reading something uplifting, and doing one small act to improve someone else's day. About the Guest: David McNally is a bestselling author (Even Eagles Need a Push, Be Your Own Brand, and If You Are Alive, Your Mission on Earth Isn't Finished), award-winning documentary producer, and Speaker's Hall of Fame member. His work focuses on purpose, resilience, and human potential, shaped by profound personal loss and his own health journey. Key Takeaways: Measure success by experiences, meaning, and relationships—not just achievements. Purpose is a “reason to get up,” especially after work life ends. Retirement can trigger a relevance gap; rebuild relevance from the inside out. Ask: What inspires me? Who inspires me? What fulfills me? Creativity doesn't expire with age—growth is still available. Acceptance creates peace of mind: control what you can, release what you can't. Daily habits: journal/reflect, read uplifting material, move toward a goal, help someone.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nicholas Adkins, founder of Pink Socks Life, to unpack a simple but high impact idea. Show up with love and kindness in each now. Nick shares how a pair of knee high pink socks turned into an organic global kindness movement. From healthcare conferences to everyday moments on a bus or in a grocery line, the core message stays the same. Real connection beats nonstop connectivity. You will also hear a practical reset for caregivers and high performers who pour into everyone else. Start with self love. Then use small human moments to build the muscle of compassion, presence, and empathy. About the Guest: Nicholas Adkins is the founder of Pink Socks Life, a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. He is also the author of Pink Socks. How a Pair of Socks Became a Symbol of Love and Connection. Over 300,000 pairs of pink socks have been gifted worldwide as a signal for belonging, kindness, and human connection. Key Takeaways: Pink Socks Life started as a simple conference strategy. Gift fun pink socks. Start conversations. Build real relationships that scale into community. The “movement” became organic when strangers in places like the Netherlands and Wales sourced pink socks to support health causes and connection. “Heartspeak” is what happens when you slow down, look someone in the eyes, and make space for their story with empathy and no judgment. Connection is different from connectivity. Phones, apps, and social platforms are tools. Real connection is presence, listening, and shared humanity. Kindness is not soft. It is operational leadership. One sincere conversation can shift a room, a workplace culture, or a hospital hallway. Love and fear show up in every moment. You choose. Love looks like compassion, patience, forgiveness, and cooperation. Fear looks like anger and shame. The real gift is not the socks. The real gift is holding space for another human, especially when they are carrying grief or struggle. If you are great at caring for others but bad at caring for yourself, start with one micro habit. Give yourself grace. Then practice love in low stakes moments. End of day reflection builds self awareness. Where did I choose love today. Where did I miss it. What will I try in the next now.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Dr. Christal L. Badour to cut through the internet noise around trauma healing. They break down what actually happens in the brain and body during trauma. Why memory can show up as vivid snapshots with gaps. And why that is a survival feature, not a personal defect. Dr. Badour also explains how to spot credible healing information in a world full of “pretty but flimsy” wellness content. She points listeners to research-backed sources like global and national trauma organizations, then adds a grounded take on generative AI. It can help you find reputable resources, but it is not a replacement for real clinical care or human connection. The conversation closes with a practical shift. Trauma-informed environments change everything. Families, workplaces, and communities can support recovery by moving from “what's wrong with you” to “what happened to you” and “what do you need.” About the Guest: Dr. Christal L. Badour is a licensed clinical psychologist, researcher, and founder of Science for Survivors. She has led federally funded research on PTSD and substance use, trains clinicians, and translates paywalled research into real-world language survivors and communities can use. Key Takeaways: Trauma responses start during the event. Your brain's #1 KPI is survival, not comfort. The limbic system ramps up fast. The amygdala helps drive threat detection and intense emotions. Trauma memories can store as sharp snapshots with gaps. That is common and not “proof” you are broken. Confusion after trauma is often the brain reviewing threat data, not weakness or failure. Online healing content can look credible because production quality is not evidence. Packaging is not peer review. Start with research-grounded hubs like the World Health Organization and major trauma education networks. Evidence-based tools and spiritual reflection can coexist. Real humans do not heal in tidy categories. Generative AI can act like an advanced search engine for credible sources. It should not replace therapists or care teams. Trauma and substance use often intersect. Coping via substances is not a moral failing, but it can become harmful over time. Trauma-informed workplaces improve outcomes. Shift from blame to support and psychological safety. How Listeners Can Connect With the Guest Website: http://www.scienceforsurvivors.com/  Explore Dr. Badour's blog on trauma recovery science.

If you've been saying “I have a book inside me” and then immediately talking yourself out of it. This episode is your reality check and your roadmap. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Suzanne Doyle-Ingram, bestselling author and founder of the Expert Author Program, to break down what actually gets a nonfiction book finished and published without turning it into a five-year guilt project. Suzanne shares how she went from panic-mode during the 2008 crash to writing a surprise bestseller. Then she reveals the bigger truth. The win isn't book sales, it's building a book that sells your expertise, attracts clients, and opens speaking and visibility opportunities. You'll learn why most aspiring authors get stuck. No outline, no reader clarity, and no protected time. This conversation is part mindset, part practical execution. Perfect for coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, and professionals ready to publish a business book that builds authority. About the Guest: Suzanne Doyle-Ingram is a bestselling author who has written and co-written 20+ books. She coaches business professionals to write, publish, and leverage nonfiction books for authority, clients, and speaking opportunities. Her team has supported 1,000+ experts through the book creation process. Key Takeaways: If you're “waiting until you're ready” to write. That's usually self-sabotage dressed as productivity. Write for your ideal reader, not your ego. A reader should feel “this was written for me.” Your ideal client and ideal reader are often the same person. Get crystal clear on their problems, fears, and goals. Outlines are non-negotiable. No outline means you're dragging readers through a forest with no path. Trending-topic books can make quick money but can burn you out fast. Passion plus strategy wins long-term. A book can be “not a bestseller” and still be a business asset that lands contracts, partnerships, and credibility. Protect your writing time like a meeting with your biggest client. Put it on your calendar and defend it. People-pleasing delays books. Learning to say “no” speeds up publishing more than any writing hack. Editors polish words. An outline protects structure, clarity, and trust. Your gift feels easy to you. That's exactly why it's valuable to others and worth turning into a book.

In this deeply real episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with 19-year-old speaker and mentor Lawrence Harris, who has transformed profound personal pain into a mission of purpose. From being kicked out at 13 to battling CPTSD, Lawrence shares how he built resilience not as a buzzword, but as a way of surviving—and thriving. This conversation explores the unglamorous truth of healing, the discipline of self-love, and why encouragement—not expectation—is what youth really need today. About the Guest:Lawrence Harris is a youth mentor, digital entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. Despite his age, he brings lived wisdom shaped by adversity and fueled by an unbreakable will to rise. Kicked out of his home as a teenager and navigating mental health challenges, Lawrence rebuilt his life through small acts of self-discipline, empowering content, and by mentoring others. He now helps young people find their voice and purpose, offering tools through his books, courses, and social platforms. Key Takeaways: Resilience is about choosing to keep going, especially when quitting feels easier. Self-love starts with small habits like brushing your teeth or cleaning your space—discipline before affirmation. Healing is personal; Lawrence emphasizes surrounding yourself with affirming people and cutting off toxic influences. Today's youth don't need pressure to perform—they need validation to be. We must be careful not to glorify trauma but instead showcase the transformation and offer actionable guidance for others.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about the hidden cost of being “fine on paper.” High performers. Caregivers. Leaders. People everyone leans on. The big idea is simple. If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode then your success starts feeling like burnout. Dr. Melanie breaks down how trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits like perfectionism, people pleasing, shutdown, and overcontrol. You will also hear her STOP-IT framework for moving from reaction to regulation. It is practical. It is leadership-ready. It is built for real life, not wellness fantasy. If you are trying to “fix everything” at once, this conversation will help you zoom out, scan what is working, tell yourself the truth, and make a clean pivot toward sustainable performance, better relationships, and calmer decision-making. About the Guest: Dr. Melanie Gray is a registered nurse, educator, and wellness strategist with 20+ years in healthcare leadership and higher education. She is known for her work in trauma-informed leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace wellness. She is the founder of Melanie Gray Solutions and the author of Regulate First, Lead Second: Master Your Biology, Transform Your Leadership. Key Takeaways: High functioning is not the same as healthy. If you are snapping at people, skipping family time, or feeling constant gut-level stress, your nervous system is waving a red flag. Separate identity from survival. Some behaviors helped you rise, but you still get to choose when to put the brakes on and pivot. Use the STOP-IT framework. Scan your whole life. Tell yourself the truth. Own your yes and no. Prioritize the pivot. Be intentional. Commit to transformation. In a stressful moment, regulate first. Breathe. Unclench. Move your body. Buy time. You do not owe instant responses to emails or people. Boundaries are leadership. You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate and how quickly you react. Inventory beats hustle. Write down what stress is costing you in relationships, health, energy, and integrity. Then decide what you want to be known for. Empower your team. Stop being the bottleneck. Let smart people be smart. Collaboration reduces overwhelm and upgrades culture. Trauma-informed self-leadership at work means empathy, inclusion, and making space for quieter voices. Quiet does not mean less capable. A 7-day reset works. One STOP-IT moment daily. One small keystone habit. Consistency over perfection.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Rich Ashton to unpack the real reason small businesses stall. Leadership gaps. Rich shares what he learned across a 45-year career acquiring and turning around small businesses. Hiring “experienced” leaders from outside often fails because they miss the realities of small business and they can break trust with internal teams. Promoting great employees can fail too when people get a title without training. Rich explains how self-imposed limitations show up in frontline employees. From emotional baggage and self-doubt to the belief that “I'm just a technician.” He also lays out what actually works. Practical support, direct feedback, consistent leadership conversations, and a culture rooted in shared values. If you want to build leaders who can run the business without you, this is the blueprint. About the Guest: Rich Ashton is a longtime entrepreneur and operator who developed an internal leadership training program after repeatedly seeing outside hires fail and internal promotions struggle. He is the author of “Growing Your Own. Common Sense Advice for Developing Leaders in Small Business.” Key Takeaways: Outside hires can flop in small businesses because they do not understand the pace, constraints, and culture. Internal promotions fail when people are expected to lead without training and real coaching. Self-imposed limitations often sound like “I'm not leadership material” or show up as emotional reactivity and low confidence. Some employees never saw leadership modeled at home or at work. That shapes what they believe is possible for them. Leadership growth works best as a step-by-step process. Not a one-time workshop. Make development mentally safer by pairing support with clear accountability. Kind but direct beats vague and “nice.” Connection comes first. Leaders get better results when they understand what makes people tick. A simple operating rhythm matters. Rich used bi-weekly leadership blogs and then forced discussion in meetings. That unlocked real behavior change. If you are a business owner you are not automatically a leader. Build your own leadership skills or get help fast. Shared values like integrity, customer service, and employee empowerment create culture alignment and reduce leadership friction.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. Caroline Crocker to unpack what “unforgivable” feels like through a child's eyes. They explore childhood trauma, shame, grief, and the hidden ways pain rewires identity. Caroline shares a deeply personal story about her father's Holocaust-era childhood and how trauma can silently shape families for generations. You will also hear practical, grounded steps for healing, like naming one truth, finding one safe witness, and building nervous system safety without forcing a “quick fix.” This conversation is for anyone navigating PTSD, intergenerational trauma, emotional healing, and mental health recovery. About the Guest: Dr. Caroline Crocker is an international speaker, multi-genre author, and storyteller. She has a background as a microbiologist, immunologist, medical researcher, professor, nonprofit founder, and tech startup CEO. As the daughter and granddaughter of World War II survivors, she writes and speaks on trauma, survival, and how painful history can echo through families. Key Takeaways: Childhood trauma can feel “unforgivable” because kids process danger through fear, rage, numbness, and shutdown, not adult logic. Survivors often internalize blame, believing they are “unforgivable”, which fuels shame, silence, and self-sabotage. Trauma echoes through generations via learned rules like hypervigilance, food hoarding, and emotional disconnection, even when no one names the root cause. A single memory can define a lifetime, like a child being unable to save a friend, and the grief resurfacing decades later. What looks like “rebellion” or “acting out” can be an intelligent survival strategy for an unsafe home or institution. Forgiveness is framed as a practical tool for forward movement, not instant forgetting or excusing harm. Healing benefits from sharing the story with one safe witness, a friend, therapist, support group, or helpline, to break isolation and reality-check shame. Notice family beliefs you inherited, especially fear-based messages about safety, trust, or relationships, and choose new scripts. Focus on daily regulation, small moments of beauty, breath, nature, and kindness, to retrain the nervous system toward safety. One concrete next step: write one honest sentence about what still affects you, then share a small piece of it with someone safe within a week.

In this Healthy Waves episode, host Sayan talks with Alexander and Viki about “Source Cards”. A practical spiritual framework that maps your birthdate into a birth card and a 13-card life path using the 52 playing card deck. The conversation focuses on why high-achievers can look successful but still feel off, how repeating patterns show up in relationships, money, career, and burnout, and how this method helps you stop comparing yourself to others and start making aligned choices. They also unpack a grounded reframe. Your hardest season might be a sign you are playing someone else's script, or it might be a core life lesson already baked into your path. Either way, clarity comes from learning your cards, spotting the energy pattern, and choosing your next micro-move on purpose. About the Guests: Alexander and Viki are the creators behind Source Cards, a system that uses the 52-card deck to help people identify personal patterns, soul lessons, and life themes based on birthdate. Their work supports high-performing individuals who want more alignment, self-acceptance, and clarity. Alexander is also the author of Play Your Cards Right. A Sacred Guide to Life on Earth. Key Takeaways The 52-card deck is used as a symbolic “hidden in plain sight” framework to reflect your birth card and a 13-card life path. Feeling “good on paper but off inside” can be a signal you are running unconscious patterns by default. Repeating cycles in love, money, health, career, or burnout often point to an upgrade your life is asking for. Knowing your “cards to play” can reduce comparison and self-judgment, and increase self-acceptance and empathy for others. The first micro-move is simple. Look up your birth card and personality card, then check if it resonates before going deeper. A hard season can mean you are struggling against your nature by following someone else's success script. A hard season can also be a core lesson in your life path, including challenge, Saturn, and Pluto themes tied to growth and shadow work. Authentic alignment can cost relationships that depend on you staying in an old role, and that discomfort can be part of the path. Weekly challenge. Pick one stuck area, write where the pattern repeated over 5 years, then ask what skill life is training in you. Clarity first, then choice. The goal is not fate. It's using insight to make better decisions.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Charu sits down with Matt Johnson to unpack how hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) can help people clear PTSD, anxiety, emotional baggage, and subconscious programming that keeps life stuck on autopilot. Matt shares his real-life recovery story after a severe brain injury and a PTSD diagnosis, then breaks down why many people don't get lasting results when they only work with the conscious mind. If you're tired of surface-level self-help, this conversation gets straight into practical tools, mindset rewiring, and what real healing looks like when you upgrade the “operating system” running your behaviors, habits, and reactions. About the Guest: Matt Johnson is a hypnosis and NLP specialist who helps people shift subconscious patterns behind anxiety, trauma responses, limiting beliefs, and emotional overwhelm. After years of struggling with PTSD and a brain injury, he built a practical approach to healing by combining hypnosis, NLP, and deep research into subconscious change. Key Takeaways: A brain injury can be amplified by unresolved trauma responses, especially when PTSD keeps the nervous system locked in fight or flight. Matt's turning point came after a SPECT scan showed abnormal brain activity patterns linked to PTSD, not permanent tissue damage. Many people get limited progress when they only use talk therapy or medication, because most change requires working with the subconscious mind. The subconscious can run automatic “programs” that shape habits, stress responses, and relationship reactions without conscious permission. Hypnosis is not mind control. You can accept or reject suggestions at any time, even in deep trance. NLP can create fast shifts by giving emotions a “structure” (color, shape, direction) and then changing that structure intentionally. “You're not broken” is not a quote for the wall. It's a strategy shift from identity blame to pattern change. Early-life imprinting (roughly ages 0–7) can install beliefs that feel like truth, but they are editable with the right tools. Real healing looks like removing the root patterns so the same stress does not keep returning in new forms. If traditional routes are not working, it's logical to diversify approaches and build a roadmap that actually fits you.

In this Healthy Waves episode, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Anjuly Rudolph to cut through the noise around yoga. They unpack why yoga is not just poses or flexibility goals, and how the original purpose is mind training, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance. Anjuly breaks down what gets lost in modern “fitness-only” yoga culture, shares beginner-friendly entry points for busy people, and explains why breathwork, grounding, and proper relaxation are non negotiable if you want results that actually stick. Expect practical, at-home micro habits you can run for 7 to 14 days to feel a real shift in stress, sleep, and energy. About the Guest: Anjuly Rudolph is a transformational catalyst blending yoga, hypnosis, energy healing, and coaching. Raised with deep yogic roots in an Indian family, she has carried this work across Uganda, Burundi, Syria, Tunisia, and Germany. She also trains yoga teachers in Germany and focuses on making yoga practical, grounded, and culturally respectful. Key Takeaways: Yoga is a full system for mind and energy, not just stretching or fitness. Asanas are only one small part of yoga. The bigger goal is calming mental fluctuations. A beginner does not need flexibility. Lack of flexibility is often the reason to start gently. Simple joint movements can be a low-barrier daily practice for mobility and stress release. Breath awareness is a fast lever for shifting your nervous system state. Grounding at the start of practice helps you actually “arrive” in your body. Final relaxation matters. Skipping it breaks the system and reduces benefits. Yoga Nidra is not the same as lying down quietly. It is a structured practice. Yoga supports emotional processing even when you cannot clearly name the emotion. A practical 14-day test: 2 minutes of conscious breathing morning and night, plus joint movement before sleep.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Paul Whitten, a combat veteran and founder of Nashville Adventures, to talk about mental health, identity after military service, and how storytelling becomes real-world therapy. Paul breaks down how getting out of an “echo chamber” of pain. Through community, purpose, and structured routines. Helped him move through injury, survivor's guilt, and burnout. They also go deep on bootstrapped entrepreneurship, why service-based businesses fight harder for visibility, and how learning the basics of ROI, marketing, and leadership can protect your mental wellness while scaling. If you are dealing with burnout, trauma, or feeling stuck in survival mode. This conversation gives a practical roadmap: small acts of service, honest storytelling, and habits that actually hold when life gets chaotic. About the Guest: Paul Whitten is a combat veteran, returned Peace Corps volunteer, former UK Parliamentary Fellow, and the founder of Nashville Adventures, a veteran-owned walking tour company known for immersive storytelling and historical accuracy. His work centers community impact, including giving back to veteran-related causes, and building a business culture shaped by lessons from both great and terrible leadership. Key Takeaways: Storytelling can be a mental health tool. It pulls you out of rumination and into meaning after trauma or burnout. If you are stuck in an echo chamber of pain. Change the room. Volunteer, teach, guide, or join a community that meets you with a blank slate. Routines beat “mindset hacks”. Paul rebuilt momentum through physical therapy, museum tours, then consistent learning. Service is a bridge out of isolation. Giving respect and appreciation often brings it back, which steadies your nervous system. Bootstrapping is stressful. But naive optimism helps you start before fear talks you out of it. Entrepreneurship is priorities and ROI. Learn the basics. P&L, balance sheet, marketing fundamentals. Knowledge compounds fast. Learn from bad leadership too. Paul used painful corporate lessons to build a healthier culture and customer experience. Keep work fun enough to sustain. If it feels like a toxic job, burnout shows up fast. Grinding is the differentiator. Not IQ, not credentials. Consistency turns skeptics into competitors. Micro challenge. Write one tough chapter in 10 minutes, share one honest piece with someone you trust, do one small act of service this month.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with "Heather-Ann" Ferri to unpack what it really means to move from surviving a family story to consciously rewriting your legacy. Heather-Ann shares how childhood trauma and generational patterns can shape our nervous system, self-worth, relationships, and even the way we chase achievement for approval. The conversation stays practical. Breathwork as a foundation for nervous system regulation. Journaling as a tool to spot patterns and reclaim your voice. A realistic take on healing that is not linear, not pretty, but absolutely possible. If you feel stuck in survival mode, overachieving, people-pleasing, or carrying a “heavy family story,” this episode gives you a clear starting point. About the Guest: Heather-Ann Ferri is an author, speaker, healer, and educator working at the intersection of trauma recovery, self-leadership, and spiritual growth. Her upcoming book, Transcending Victim to Goddess, blends memoir with a practical self-love and healing framework designed to help readers disrupt generational cycles and rebuild from the inside out. Key Takeaways: “Victim to goddess” is not a vibe. It is a decision to face what happened, name the patterns, and reclaim your identity without letting family systems define you. Healing is not linear. Expect layers. Progress can look like getting out of bed and choosing not to escape your life today. Breathwork is the baseline tool. Changing breath patterns helps change stress patterns, emotional reactivity, and survival responses. Start simple. Notice if your inhale feels tight. Ask what you struggle to receive, not just what you give. Overachieving and people-pleasing can be trauma strategies. Breath and body awareness help you stop outsourcing worth to performance. Journaling works best when you have prompts. If you do not know what to ask yourself, guided questions reduce overwhelm and create structure. Quiet time is not optional if you want change. Reflection, meditation, and writing help you hear your inner compass again. Creative expression counts as healing. Five minutes of dancing, singing, drawing, walking, or play can reconnect you to “I am enough.” You can rewrite legacy without waiting for the perfect therapist. Start with one breath and one honest page.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Eric D. Coonrod, a boutique investment banker, to unpack the entrepreneurial mindset behind scaling a company and selling it without burning out. This episode gets real about why exits can feel like an identity shock, how deal stress quietly tanks decision quality, and why psychological readiness should be treated like a core KPI alongside valuation. Eric breaks down exit paths like full sale vs majority recap, then shares practical ways founders can protect sleep, health, and relationships while navigating diligence, negotiation, and team communication. About the Guest: Eric D. Coonrod is a 20-year investment banking veteran involved in 100+ transactions across healthcare, food and beverage, VMS, and sports. He is the founder of E. Coonrod and Company, LLC, advising founders on deals, debt, and capital raises with a full-stack approach that includes tax, communications, and personal health awareness. Key Takeaways: Selling a business can hit harder emotionally than founders expect because the company often becomes their identity. A big exit check does not automatically fix burnout. It can even amplify it if you have no plan post-deal. Prep for the exit should include psychological readiness, not just financial readiness and deal structure. Consider exit options early. A majority recap can reduce admin burden while keeping you close to the work you actually love. Neglecting self-care during a sale increases poor decisions. Deal fatigue is real and it kills outcomes. The sale process adds major weekly workload on top of running operations. Protect your health to protect judgment. Keep a non-negotiable wellness anchor. Training, walking, or family time keeps mental clarity stable under pressure. Employees fear layoffs and culture shifts. Timing and messaging matter, so disclose only when the deal is mature. Coach the transition narrative with the buyer. Clear reassurance reduces churn and stabilizes performance pre-close. Post-exit peace requires an actual plan. Define what you will do in the first 6 months and what comes after.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Mike Barefoot to unpack how movement builds more than muscles. It builds discipline, mindset, emotional regulation, and leadership performance. Mike shares why physical outlets like martial arts, workouts, walking, and simple daily activity help professionals vent stress without torching relationships at work. They also break down the real hack most people miss. Consistency beats intensity, and incremental progress turns fitness into a lifestyle instead of a short-term grind. If you want better focus, less burnout, and stronger decision-making, this conversation links fitness and mental health in a way that's practical and repeatable. About the Guest: Mike Barefoot has spent 27+ years in the staffing industry, placing 1,000+ professionals, generating $50M+ in revenue, and earning top awards like Rookie of the Year, Performer of the Year, and multiple Presidents Club honors. He is also a 37-year martial arts practitioner, a 7th degree black belt in karate, plus advanced ranks in jujitsu and kickboxing, and a multi-time Hall of Fame inductee. Mike speaks to MBA students, executives, and entrepreneurs on performance, balance, and sustainable excellence. Key Takeaways: Physical outlets reduce stress spillover. Training gives you a clean place to “dump pressure” so you show up calmer at work and at home. Balance is a performance strategy, not a luxury. When energy is distributed across life areas, productivity and resilience improve. Compete with yourself, not the room. Self-accountability creates consistent growth without chasing external validation. Perfection in results is rare. “Perfect intent” means daily effort aligned to your goals even when outcomes vary. Set incremental targets. Instead of chasing 50 pounds or 2-hour workouts, aim for small wins like 10 to 15 minutes daily. Avoid the “ready, set, stop” trap in business. Delays and hurdles happen. Use movement to prevent frustration from damaging relationships. Momentum matters. An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Small action keeps you progressing. Use micro-journaling. Track activity on a mini calendar or your phone so your brain can't inflate effort. Limited time can improve focus. Small windows force sharper training and sharper studying, especially for young professionals. Movement upgrades decision-making. More energy and clarity leads to better choices and less burnout over time. How Listeners Can Connect With Mike: Email: LinkedIn Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Jacquie Elliott to break down why holiday stress and family dynamics can crank up your inner critic. Fast. Jacquie reframes “self criticism” as abusive brain chatter. A deeper pattern of emotional self-abuse that fuels low self-worth, comparison and people-pleasing. You'll learn her ABCs framework to interrupt the spiral, rebuild self-respect and practice self-love in a practical way through awareness, belief and challenge. About the Guest: Jacquie Elliott is a certified spiritual and relationship coach, seasoned radio host and motivational speaker. She's the author of The Silent Bully: A Journey from Abusive Brain Chatter to Self-Love, and teaches simple tools to shift from “tornado head” into boundaries, presence and a healthier inner relationship. Key Takeaways: Name the inner critic for what it is. Jacquie calls it “abusive brain chatter”. Not just negative thoughts but a pattern that bullies, belittles and gaslights you, especially during holiday pressure and family triggers. Use the ABCs framework in real time. A is Aware: notice the script and write it down. B is Belief: reconnect to a loving inner source through journaling, meditation, prayer or a grounding ritual. C is Challenge: replace old core beliefs like “I'm not enough” with one sentence that is 10% kinder and more true. Watch for “Tornado Head”. That spiral where one mistake becomes a whole identity story. The reset is to return “home” to the present moment and get heart centered before you problem solve. Make self love practical. Start with 2 to 3 minutes of meditation. Journal both voices. List your top values and check alignment. Take small actions that build self respect and reduce shame. Build momentum with micro wins. Random acts of kindness and gratitude can create a dopamine lift that supports consistency, confidence and healthier boundaries. Holiday reminder. You do not need perfect mindset. You need a tool you will actually use when things get loud, tense or triggering.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Bud Kraus, creator of the podcast Seriously Bud, for a real conversation about living with chronic depression, seasonal affective disorder and suicidal ideation. Bud shares what “silent suffering” looked like for him, why so many people mask pain with humor and what actually helped him move one day at a time. They talk about practical coping tools, getting support without shame, the role of counseling and medication and how purpose and family can shift your relationship with mental health over time. If you're navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or emotional burnout, this episode focuses on grounded support, honest language and why asking for help is a strength at any age. About the Guest: Bud Kraus is a long-time educator and creator in the WordPress community and the host of Seriously Bud, a human-story podcast exploring life journeys, resilience and reinvention. He speaks openly about his experience with depression and suicidal ideation and how support systems, creativity and meaning helped him move forward. Key Takeaways: Depression can be chronic and still invisible. Bud describes how people often use a “happy face” while privately struggling with mental health. Seasonal shifts can amplify symptoms. He names winter and shorter days as a trigger pattern tied to seasonal affective disorder. Normalize asking direct questions. A pivotal moment came when someone finally asked Bud if he had suicidal thoughts, helping him realize those thoughts aren't “normal” for most people. Progress is usually a small pivot, not a miracle moment. Bud points to finding a trusted professional and structured support as a turning point. Coping can be practical and personal. For Bud, playing guitar created short-term relief and mental transport when the day felt unmanageable. Medication and therapy can be part of a healthy toolkit. He frames both as support options, not moral judgments. Purpose can return later than you expect. Bud ties healing to relationships, family and future joy that felt impossible during darker seasons.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Yusuf talks with Brett Gallant, a New Brunswick Canada IT and cybersecurity business owner who hit 349 pounds while running on burnout and grief after his father's death. Brett breaks down the real weight loss transformation behind the before and after. Not hacks. A rebuild of identity, priorities, and daily systems. He shares his October 2023 “decision day” moment, why mindset is a muscle, and how consistent 10 minute walks can compound into sustainable fat loss, stronger mental health, and better leadership at work and home. If you are stuck in stress, emotional eating, or nonstop responsibilities, this is a practical reset for health, boundaries, and discipline that actually lasts. About the guest: Brett Gallant is a Canadian entrepreneur and cybersecurity business owner. After reaching 349 pounds and feeling exhausted and disconnected from himself, he committed to a structured health reset. He has released about 140 pounds so far and shares his systems around mindset training, food as fuel, accountability, and sustainable habits for busy professionals. Key takeaways: Burnout recovery and weight loss often start with one uncomfortable truth, not a gym membership. “Decision day” creates commitment. Brett chose October 2023 as the line in the sand. Put your oxygen mask on first. Self care is a leadership strategy, not selfishness. Mindset is a muscle. Train it daily when the scale stalls and business gets chaotic. Stop treating progress like a highlight reel. Celebrate non scale wins like showing up. You cannot out exercise a bad diet. Rebuild your relationship with food, from emotional coping to fuel. Consistency compounds. Start with 10 minutes, then stack three short walks if needed. Treat yourself like your best client. Schedule movement like a non negotiable meeting. Accountability helps. Go public or share goals with a peer group, then keep promises to yourself. Expect setbacks. Do not spiral. Catch it, reset fast, and keep going. Bigger bodies are not a discipline problem. Discipline can exist in work and family, then be redirected to health. Sustainable change improves leadership, energy, and how you show up for family and team. How listeners can connect with the guest: Instagram DM him the word “travel” to get his travel hack guide for staying on track while traveling For cybersecurity conversations: connect with Brett through his Instagram and ask about his cybersecurity work Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

*Listener Discretion: This episode includes discussion of graphic violence and disturbing content. Some listeners may find it upsetting. Please take care while listening and consider skipping this episode if you are sensitive to these topics. In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Charu sits down with Bernard “Chalky” White to unpack a resilience-first life story that goes from childhood abuse to policing to a bold midlife pivot into ski instructing and global travel. The core framework is brutally simple and weirdly powerful. Two questions that cut through procrastination, fear and regret: “What if I don't?” and “What if I do?” Chalky explains how those questions helped him resign from a career he'd grown to hate, rebuild his identity and keep moving forward even after witnessing traumatic events on the job. If you're stuck in a loop of overthinking, low confidence or “I'm too late” energy, this conversation is a practical mindset reset focused on action, courage and mental health. About the Guest: Bernard “Chalky” White is a former UK police officer turned long-time ski instructor and author. He shares lessons from adversity, career reinvention and his book Keep Chewing the Granite: How Two Questions Can Change Your Life, built around a decision-making method designed to replace regret with forward motion. Key Takeaways: Resilience is not a personality trait. It is a repeatable decision you practice when life feels heavy and your options look limited. The “What if I don't?” question exposes real costs. Regret, stagnation and staying stuck in a career or identity that drains you. The “What if I do?” question creates momentum. It turns fear into a plan and replaces avoidance with intentional action. Procrastination often hides clarity. Chalky knew what he wanted for years, then one honest night of questions forced a clean decision. Reinvention is allowed at any age. Starting skiing at 26 and building a decades-long path proves “late” is usually just a story. Trauma can shape you without owning you. Chalky acknowledges hard memories while choosing humor, meaning and forward progress. A strong mindset is not “positive vibes.” It is confronting consequences, choosing courage and doing the tough stuff anyway. Simple tools scale. Two questions can support mental health, career change, confidence and decision-making across business and life. When you feel stuck, ask better questions. Then take one small step that matches the answer you actually want to live. How Listeners Can Connect With Chalky: Email: Amazon in print, Kindle and audiobook formats.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Jon Bowerman, lifelong entrepreneur and author of You Are Not Lost, You Are Just Starting, to reframe uncertainty, career pivots, and feeling behind. Jon breaks down why “being lost” is not a failure. It's signal data. They talk about entrepreneurship as a mindset (not a job title), how to show up as the CEO of yourself even inside a 9 to 5, and why small actions build real confidence after burnout or setbacks. If you are navigating a career crossroads, rebuilding purpose, or trying to design a life you do not want to escape from, this conversation is a practical reset. About the Guest Jon Bowerman is a creative strategist, designer, and co-founder with deep experience in marketing and entrepreneurship. He helps people think like entrepreneurs by solving real problems, negotiating with clarity, and building a life aligned with purpose, not pressure. Key Takeaways: Feeling “lost” usually comes from old systems that push one fixed path (school, job, retirement). Real growth needs flexibility and the ability to pivot without shame. You do not need to start a business to think like an entrepreneur. Treat your career like you are the CEO of yourself and your employer as your biggest client. Ask for what you want. Many people quit before they even try a direct conversation about compensation, role design, or growth. The downside is often smaller than your fear says it is. Stop calling every setback a failure. If you extract the lesson and apply it, it becomes training data for your next move. Confidence is rebuilt in reps, not speeches. Start small, iterate fast, and stack wins one step at a time. The best business ideas are not magic inspiration. They come from listening to recurring problems people complain about, then building real-world solutions. Chasing a single “big moment” can backfire. John shares how achieving a major exit still triggered identity loss, which pushed him to focus on the journey and daily alignment. Your inner child still holds useful direction. Reconnect with what energized you early in life and bring that thread into what you build now. For parents, the “career vs family” conflict is real. Designing balance is part of building a life you do not want to retire from.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Alisha Esmail from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to unpack a founder truth most people avoid. Burnout is not a badge, it's a bottleneck. Alisha shares how burning out three times forced her to rebuild her business approach with stronger systems, clearer priorities, and a “harmony over balance” mindset. They break down her Five Tanks Framework (emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual) and a practical daily check-in to spot depletion before it snowballs. They also get real about using AI and automation to buy back time without losing the human edge. If you're building a company, leading a team, or just tired of the hustle narrative, this one is a clean reset. About the Guest: Alisha Esmail is a purpose-led founder behind one of Canada's recognized coffee brands and a builder working at the intersection of AI, human performance, and sustainability. She teaches founders how to reduce burnout through systems, clarity, and her Five Tanks Framework. Key Takeaways: Burnout repeats when recovery is treated like a break, not a redesign of how you operate. “Harmony” beats “balance”. Some seasons require intensity, but the system has to pay you back with time later. The line between healthy intensity and overextension is context. Most “emergencies” can wait till tomorrow. Use the “three cards” rule. Limit how often you pull people into after-hours work so you don't burn out the team. Five Tanks Framework is universal: emotional, mental, physical, relational, spiritual. The refill method can vary by personality and season. A fast daily audit works: draw five circles, label the tanks, score each 1 to 10, then act on the lowest tank first. Empty tanks show up as short temper, conflict, anxiety, spiraling thoughts, and feeling out of control. AI should not replace thinking. It should remove repetitive tasks so founders stay in strategy, creativity, and leadership. Practical AI win: rewrite intense messages to reduce conflict and prevent “emotional shrapnel” in relationships. Scarcity is not a reason to self-destruct. It can be a forcing function for creativity and smarter leverage. Clarity kills chaos: define your real end goal, then work backward instead of sprinting toward a vague “success.” Community Guidelines Check (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn): Not violating.

When the news cycle is loud and life is already heavy, your nervous system pays the bill. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu talks with Andrea W LeDew, a former lawyer and mother of four, about turning political stress, grief and caregiver burnout into something usable through poetry, journaling and structured creative expression. Andrea shares how parenting a son with autism and intellectual disabilities, managing estate responsibilities after losing both parents and living through pandemic-era uncertainty pushed her toward writing as a mental health tool. The conversation also goes straight at the uncomfortable stuff. Emotional eating as coping, self-compassion vs self-sabotage, activism vs burnout and how to stay engaged without spiraling into rumination. Andrea's book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prose frames writing as survival and invites listeners to process big emotions without pretending the world is not on fire. About the Guest: Andrea W LeDew is a former lawyer turned stay-at-home mother of four and a writer focused on poetry and essays that explore political change, civic identity and emotional resilience. Her book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prosebrings together years of work shaped by grief, caregiving and public events. Key Takeaways: Political stress is real mental load. Naming it reduces shame and makes it workable for mental health and emotional well-being. Writing can function like therapy when it helps you feel, label and metabolize grief, rage and fear instead of suppressing them. Structure matters. Rhyme, form and constraints can keep expression honest without turning into endless rumination. Caregiver life adds chronic stress. If you are parenting autism or disability needs, coping tools must be realistic, not performative wellness. Comfort eating is common. The key line is habit. When coping becomes automatic daily behavior it shifts from self-compassion to self-sabotage. Activism can be healthier than hiding if it moves you from helplessness into values-based action and community connection. You can hold patriotism and critique at the same time. Reclaiming belonging should not erase marginalized experiences. Free speech and civic participation are not abstract. They are day-to-day practices that protect mental health through agency. “Touch grass” advice is incomplete. A better play is balanced inputs, boundaries on doomscrolling and intentional creative output. Your story is not finished. Creativity gives shape to chaos so it becomes something you can hold.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu gets real about late-night cravings, emotional eating, and the binge-shame-repeat loop. Guest Nadege “Nan” Saysana breaks down why cravings often aren't about food at all, they're about unmet emotional needs like stress, loneliness, frustration, and overwhelm. You'll hear a practical framework for separating physical hunger from emotional urges, how habit loops get wired, and why “knowing the why” isn't enough without learning emotional regulation skills. Nan also shares her personal turning point after decades of binge cycles, plus a simple self-check method to reduce cravings intensity without restriction. If you struggle with binge eating at night, sugar cravings, stress eating, or food noise, this conversation is built to help you regain agency, without gimmicks, shame, or a fake 7-day fix. About the Guest: Nadege “Nan” Saysana helps people stop binge eating by addressing the emotional drivers behind cravings. Based in Paris, she teaches practical tools to build new coping habits, reduce food noise, and shift from self-judgment to self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Cravings feel physical, but if you've already eaten enough, the urge is often emotional, not hunger. “Comfort food” works like a short-term mood hack, then backfires with guilt, stress, and more urges. Many people were never taught emotional skills, so the brain defaults to external soothing like food, scrolling, or binge-watching. The goal isn't perfection. It's replacing the old habit loop with a new one that actually processes feelings. Curiosity beats shame. Treat urges like data. Ask: what emotion is driving this right now? Quick self-regulation practices like a self-hug style touch routine can lower craving intensity without restriction. Restriction can increase binge intensity over time, like a rubber band snap effect. Hormones and medications can amplify hunger. If emotional tools don't help, it's smart to consult a qualified clinician. Power shifts when you stop framing sugar as “in control” and start owning your choices and patterns. Progress looks like urges getting quieter, faster recovery after stress, and calmer decision-making around food.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we stop treating self doubt like a mindset glitch and start seeing it as what it really is, an old protection system that has outlived its job description. Host Sana sits down with hypnotherapist, channel and former elite athletic coach Magdalena Lyle to unpack how childhood conditioning, family dynamics and hidden trauma program the subconscious to keep us small. From boardrooms to bodybuilding stages, Magdalena breaks down why so many high performers look confident on the outside yet quietly spiral in overthinking, imposter syndrome and perfectionism behind the scenes. If you are a founder, executive, athlete or ambitious professional who swings between “I've got this” and “Who do I think I am,” this conversation will give you a straight talking framework to understand your mind's protect and serve system, start reclaiming agency in your body and move toward decisions grounded in intuition instead of fear. This episode speaks to self doubt, leadership confidence, performance anxiety, trauma informed healing and nervous system regulation in real world language, not fluff. About the Guest: Magdalena Lyle is a Queensland based hypnotherapist, channel and mind body practitioner who started her career working with athletes and high performers on physical rigidity, then discovered their real constraints lived in the subconscious. Today she blends hypnotherapy, fascial stretch work and channelled guidance to help executives, entrepreneurs and athletes identify the childhood scripts running their self doubt, release stored tension in the body and rebuild trust in their own intuition. Her work is grounded, direct and focused on restoring personal agency rather than layering more affirmations on top of unresolved fear. Key Takeaways: Self doubt is not a character flaw, it is the mind's protect and serve system still following rules written by a younger, scared version of you. Childhood experiences, including “small” moments like being yelled at for spilling milk, can wire the subconscious to stay quiet, stay small or over perform to avoid judgment. Many executives and athletes wear confidence as a mask at work or on stage, while privately dealing with anxiety, overthinking, migraines, skin issues and emotional burnout. The body keeps score. Chronic tension in the jaw, shoulders or hips often signals a nervous system that has forgotten how to trust and relax, even when the mind says “I'm fine.” Hypnotherapy done through open questioning, not scripts, lets clients enter their own awareness, see the emotional “scene” behind the pattern and discover their own resources for change. Real leadership and performance strength come from integrating intuition, compassion and assertiveness so you are not two different people at work and at home.

In this Healthy Waves conversation from the Healthy Mind By Avik™ ecosystem, host Sana and guest Kristen Crabtree deconstruct the usual script on mental health, mental strength and resilience. They unpack what happens when you are praised for holding everything together while silently disappearing behind roles like good wife, good mother, good employee. Kristen shares how 22 years in a psychologically abusive marriage, a bipolar diagnosis and trauma therapy in 2021 forced a complete reboot of her inner operating system. Together they explore how real mental strength starts with identity excavation. Not more grinding, but finally hearing your own voice under family rules, cultural conditioning and performance masks. They talk about privilege and survival, why telling people to just align with their true self can sound unrealistic for single parents and people in unsafe situations, and why boundaries can be a pragmatic first step when you have zero capacity. If you are tired of confusing survival with living, this episode gives you a sharp, honest lens on mental health, women's resilience, boundaries and rebuilding life on your own terms. About the Guest: Kristen Crabtree is an author, creator of the Paramore Paradox ecosystem and a certified trauma informed divorce coach. After decades in a psychologically abusive marriage and a long journey with bipolar disorder, trauma therapy and meditation helped her reclaim her voice and identity. Her book Be the You That is More You Than You Have Ever Beenoffers a structured framework for excavating your own story, identifying the roles and artifacts that shape you and stepping into what she calls your True You 2.0. Today she helps people move from invisibility and self doubt into clarity, self trust and aligned decision making. Key Takeaways: Mental health often erodes when we shrink behind roles and expectations. Kristen explains how constantly performing as the responsible one while ignoring your own needs creates inner chaos and long term psychological strain. Most people mistake mental strength for holding everything together and never asking for help. Kristen reframes true mental resilience as hearing your inner voice, accepting it and making decisions that align with who you really are. Kristen's turning point came through trauma therapy and meditation. Both helped her recognize the psychological abuse in her marriage, process earlier sexual trauma and reconnect with a self she had buried for decades. Her book uses an excavation metaphor. You audit the artifacts of your life, roles, traumas and stories, then intentionally design your True You 2.0, a future identity that expresses your real values instead of inherited scripts. The conversation names privilege directly. Kristen acknowledges that some people do not have the time, money or safety to do deep identity work, and that telling them to just align with their true self can sound tone deaf. Boundaries show up as a practical first lever. Kristen describes learning to feel in her body when a boundary is crossed and how protecting that line built self worth, self respect and the stability required for bigger life changes. Both Sana and Kristen emphasize that humans are messy by default. You are not broken or something to fix. The work is stripping away noise, shame and other people's blueprints so you can design a life that actually fits you.   If you're in immediate crisis, contact local emergency services or your regional suicide prevention helpline.

On this Healthy Waves episode from the Healthy Mind By Avik podcast network, host Pragya gets real about what it means to design a life that actually fits you instead of endlessly upgrading a life you secretly resent. Life coach and Akashic Records guide Claudia M Gallegos breaks down why so many high achievers feel empty even when they have everything they were told to want. They unpack the invisible traps of building your world around other people's expectations, the myth of “Instagram perfection”, and the pressure to have one big cinematic life purpose. Claudia shares concrete practices like automatic writing, listening to your body as an antenna, and treating your path as an experiment rather than a performance. This is a strategic, grounded conversation for anyone ready to stop auditioning for a life that was never theirs and start building one that finally feels honest. About the Guest: Claudia M Gallegos is a life coach, writer and spiritual guide who works with the Akashic Records and deep purpose work. She has reinvented her own life across countries, careers and belief systems. Claudia now supports clients who look “successful” on paper yet feel disconnected from themselves and want a more truthful, aligned way to live and work. Key Takeaways: Most people are not designing a new life. They are only upgrading a life they never chose. Real change starts when you stop rearranging the same pieces and admit what is actually not working. The first trap is building your life around other people's desires. Parents, culture, work and social media become the blueprint so you ignore the quiet truth that your joy may be in a very different direction. A “good life” is not a perfect picture. It is an ongoing art practice. You show up like an artist in the studio, even on messy days, with a clear general direction instead of a rigid five step script. Discomfort is not always a sign you failed. Sometimes it is just a hard Tuesday. The work is learning to separate a temporary low from a real signal that your direction no longer fits who you are. Your body is an antenna. Subtle unease around a person or decision is data. When you override those signals for the sake of logic or convenience, you often land in chaotic business deals or painful relationships. Purpose is not always one big dramatic destiny. For many people it is seasonal, gentler and evolving. The point is not to become a superstar in a movie. The point is to live from your own essence instead of chasing external applause. Simple practices like automatic writing by hand, silent moments and embodied awareness help you reconnect with what you actually want, so you can make choices that reflect your soul instead of the crowd.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with indie author and resilience strategist Pam Chiaro to talk about what it actually looks like to choose yourself in real life, not just on inspirational quote cards. Pam walks us through leaving a stable career only after she was financially resourced, building a writing life as PK Stuart, and then having everything disrupted by an ovarian cancer diagnosis. She breaks down how she navigated treatment with a mix of medical care, keto eating, movement, meditation and spiritual tools, while staying grounded, pragmatic and honest about fear. Pam also explains how she uses astrology as a planning and reflection framework, not as superstition, to set goals, review progress and keep her life aligned with her values. This is a clear, no drama conversation about resilience, health, creativity, money, and why metrics and marketing can never replace the actual work or the people you love. About the guest: Pam Chiaro is an indie author who writes under the name PK Stuart. After years in business management and supporting startups, she transitioned out of traditional employment to build a writing career on her own terms. A pragmatic planner and lifelong meditator, Pam blends spiritual tools like astrology with grounded decision making. She lives in the mountains of western Colorado with her husband, close to her two children and six grandchildren, and is focused on both her ongoing health journey and her growing catalogue of books. Key takeaways : Strength is not loud aggression, it is quiet resilience, self trust and choosing yourself in hard seasons. Pam shows that quitting a traditional job is realistic only when you are financially resourced and honest about your responsibilities. An ovarian cancer diagnosis pushed her to re evaluate time, double down on writing and build an indie author career with intention. Keto eating, consistent movement, meditation and spiritual practices support her health journey, without replacing medical care or professional advice. Astrology functions as a planning and reflection tool for her, not a fear script, helping her set goals and review progress across life areas. She continually pulls herself away from vanity metrics and back to the real work, writing books and being present with her family in Colorado.

She blends financial planning, financial psychology. trauma informed insight and a seven layer financial wellness framework to help people understand why they behave the way they do with money. not just what to do next. Her work focuses on money trauma, nervous system responses, couples and money, and building financial safety from the inside out. Key Takeaways: Financial stress usually starts in childhood long before we ever touch a paycheck. Our nervous system learns survival patterns around unmet needs and those same patterns later attach to money. Trauma responses like fight, flight, freeze and fawn can show up as overspending, hoarding, overworking, procrastinating on money tasks or people pleasing with money to feel safe in relationships. Emotions are “energy in motion”. If we never express them. that energy can sit in the body as tension, headaches, stomach issues, tight chests or overall dis ease that impacts daily functioning. Many money fights in couples are not about numbers. They are unhealed nervous system responses that get mislabeled as character flaws. like “selfish”, “lazy” or “disorganized”. which deepens conflict and shame. Understanding each partner's money story from childhood builds empathy. Talking about how money was handled at home, who held power and what felt unsafe creates context instead of blame. Jennifer's seven layer financial wellness model highlights the often ignored neurological layer and the societal layer. Culture pushes consumerism and constant comfort. which makes emotional spending and chronic debt more likely. Shame around money creates a downward spiral. Reducing self blame. seeing the role of family and culture. and getting objective support lets people make calmer decisions that support mental, emotional and financial health.   Connect with the Guest: Listeners can connect with Jennifer Edwards and explore her work here Website: BreakthroughFinancialWellness.com Resources and newsletter available on the site.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu sits down with licensed psychotherapist, life coach, and wellness influencer Gina Gheller to break down what narcissistic abuse really does to your mind, body, and identity. This is not a highlight reel. It is a straight talk on red flags like love bombing, sudden flashes of anger, gaslighting, smear campaigns, and why so many smart people stay in unsafe relationships. Gina explains how chronic emotional stress rewires the nervous system, fuels anxiety, panic, and autoimmune issues, and makes it hard to focus or feel safe in your own skin. She shares low effort nervous system regulation tools, the biggest myths that keep survivors stuck, and what thriving actually looks like in real life, not on Instagram. If you are healing from narcissistic abuse, or supporting someone who is, this conversation gives you language, context, and grounded next steps for reclaiming your voice and your future. About The Guest: Gina Gheller is a licensed Texas psychotherapist, national life coach, and wellness influencer with a community of over 50,000 followers. For more than 25 years she has worked in the trenches with survivors of narcissistic abuse, trauma, and toxic relationships. She is the author of: 25 Ways Narcissist Abuse Survival Workbook 25 Ways Narcissist Abuse Survival Guide The Woman's Ultimate Divorce Survival Guide Through one to one work, groups, online resources, and her writing, Gina helps survivors understand abusive dynamics, regulate their nervous systems, rebuild self trust, and create lives that feel safe, grounded, and self led again. Key Takeaways: Narcissistic abuse often starts subtly. early “cracks” look like unexpected flashes of anger, cutting remarks, and critiques of the very traits they once praised. Love bombing is a major red flag. intense flattery, grand gestures, and fast tracked intimacy in the first months are not romance, they are control strategies. Survivors stay because of wiring, conditioning, and manipulation. cultural messages, children, financial entanglement, shame, and gaslighting all keep people stuck longer than they ever planned. Narcissistic abuse is physiological, not just emotional. long term cortisol spikes and hypervigilance can contribute to anxiety, panic, fatigue, and autoimmune style symptoms. Grounding plus boxed breathing is a low effort regulation tool. focus on breath, senses, and present safety to interrupt dissociation and trauma spirals in the moment. One of the biggest myths is “they will change if I love them enough or they get help”. romanticizing the past and minimizing the abuse keeps survivors looping back. Life after leaving is not instantly free. survivors often face financial fallout, health issues, social isolation, smear campaigns, and a shaken sense of identity. Thriving is not perfection. it looks like safety, clarity, smaller but real community, self trust, and building a life where your nervous system is not on constant high alert. *This episode discusses narcissistic abuse, trauma, nervous system regulation, and recovery in an educational, non graphic, and non hateful way.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu sits down with former healthcare leader turned multi seven figure mindset trainer and strategist Lin Yuan Su to pressure test a big claim. that up to 95% of success comes from mindset. Lin takes us inside the morning she broke down crying in her car in Canada, after years of doing “everything right” on paper. good education, respected job, security. She unpacks how fear, burnout and people pleasing can quietly run your life while you tell yourself you are just being responsible. Together, Charu and Lin dig into the Success Trifecta. mindset, strategy, action. They challenge privilege questions, talk honestly about money, motherhood, ambition and guilt, and get practical about how to shift your inner game without quitting your job overnight or spending big on coaching. If you are sitting in your own parked car wondering how you got here, this conversation gives you language, tools and permission to want more without burning your life down. About the guest: Lin Yuan Su is a former high achieving registered dietitian and healthcare leader who walked away from a secure career after years of quiet burnout. Today she is a mindset trainer and success strategist who helps entrepreneurs and professionals create what she calls enlightened success. wealth, time freedom and health that coexist instead of compete. Blending science based thinking, subconscious mindset work and practical strategy, Lin supports clients to move from fear driven overwork into calm, confident leadership in business and life. She is also a wife and mom, and brings a grounded perspective on ambition, family and what it really takes to build a life that feels aligned, not just impressive on paper. Key takeaways: Mindset is the driver, strategy is the vehicle. Lin insists that copying someone's business plan while keeping the same fearful, employee style thinking will often recreate burnout, not freedom. who you are being shapes what any strategy can do. Burnout can look “functional” from the outside. Years before that car breakdown, Lin was short tempered, exhausted and unmotivated at home, yet still performing at work. She now names those as clear burnout signs many high achievers normalize. You cannot afford to ignore your inner voice. Lin warns that staying misaligned out of fear can show up as chronic stress and even illness. She is not giving medical advice, but she stresses that emotional dis ease often becomes physical dis ease over time. Do not leap without a bridge. build one. Lin did not storm into her CEO's office to quit. She stayed, got coaching, shifted her energy, left on a high note and built a thoughtful transition instead of a crisis exit. Mindset work is not only for the wealthy. Coaching is powerful, but Lin is clear. the real investment is time, energy and willingness to study. Books, podcasts and free resources can start a real inner shift if you actually work with them. Manifestation is discipline, not magic. Lin shares client stories, like a restaurant owner who grew revenue 400 percent while cutting her hours to a third, and her own fertility journey after releasing deep emotional blocks. She frames these as examples of what aligned mindset plus consistent action can open up, not as guarantees. For women, harmony beats “work life balance.” Lin blocks non negotiable time for family, self and business and aims for flow instead of rigid balance. She urges women to check whether their ambition comes from fear and ego, or from heart and purpose. How to connect with Lin Yuan-Su: Listeners can connect with Lin Yuan Su here.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with author Lee Ann Walling to unpack The Salt and Light Express, a late life debut novel about grief, guilt, faith, and reinvention. Through the story of Chris, a woman in her sixties driving an RV across the United States to scatter her partner's ashes, Lee Ann explores mindfulness, spiritual deconstruction, religious judgment, and the courage to love again. This is a grounded conversation for listeners navigating loss, questioning Christianity, rebuilding belonging, or considering indie publishing for their own story. If you are wondering whether it is too late to reinvent your life, this episode gives you a clear, honest reality check plus practical hope. About The Guest: Lee Ann Walling is a writer, former journalist, political and government strategist, land use planner, consultant, and now an indie author. At 69, she released her debut novel The Salt and Light Express, already earning praise from BookLife, Kirkus and Forward Reviews for its honest look at grief, spirituality, and late life transformation. Her own journey includes leaving, questioning, and reimagining Christianity across Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal and progressive faith spaces while continuously reinventing her career and identity. Key Takeaways  : Grief is not something to outrun. Chris's RV journey shows how staying in motion can create space to sit with pain, guilt and love instead of spiritually bypassing it. Mindfulness is not a buzzword. Chris's guilt after the accident comes from distraction at the wheel, which becomes a wake up call about presence, attention and how easily life changes in seconds. Faith can evolve without becoming fake. Lee Ann's path through Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal and back to a questioning Methodist community mirrors Chris's shift to a simpler, more honest form of Christianity. Honest dialogue breaks stereotypes. Chris's ongoing conversations with a Southern Baptist pastor challenge both of them to rethink judgment, prayer, salvation and what following Jesus actually looks like in everyday life. Reinvention has no age limit. Lee Ann wrote her debut novel in an MFA program in her late sixties, skipped a broken traditional publishing system, and built an indie path that keeps full creative control.   How To Connect With The Guest  : You can connect with Lee Ann Walling and learn more about The Salt and Light Express here.Website: https://www.LeeAnnWalling.com She personally monitors messages coming through her site and replies directly.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with technologist and human strategist Stephanie Sylvestre to unpack the real question on everyone's mind. how do we use AI to uplift humans, not replace them. Stephanie shares how digital twins, vetted data and human in the loop design can expand access to mentorship, grow self agency and help people in low resource environments rise inside a tech driven world. From colorism and the erasure of Black history to job displacement fears and AI hallucinations, Stephanie calls out the realities without sugar coating, then reframes AI as a strategic tool for resilience, creativity and social mobility. This is a grounded, no nonsense conversation about using technology to scale belief, belonging and impact, especially for black and brown communities and anyone who has ever felt underestimated. About The Guest: Stephanie Sylvestre is a founder, innovator and strategist who builds AI solutions that center real people, not just algorithms. With a background in economic development and decades in technology and leadership, she now focuses on digital twins, AI mentoring and using vetted, bias aware data to increase self esteem, self agency and access to opportunity. Her work includes creating AI powered digital mentors and preserving Black history and lived experience in immersive, tech enabled ways. Key Takeaways: AI is not just about automation. when configured with vetted, high quality data and a clear purpose, it can act as a digital mentor, helping people take risks, grow confidence and see new paths. Self agency is the real unlock. people who believe they can influence their lives ask different questions, negotiate differently and create options instead of accepting fixed limits from jobs, policies or social norms. Many people self reject before the world rejects them. shifting from “I can't” to “Let me see what's possible” is a core mindset shift for careers, creativity and mental health in a tech driven world. AI hallucinations are a feature to manage, not a reason to run away. just like human conversations, we should trust but verify, keep humans in the loop and use AI as “copy, paste, edit,” not as absolute truth. Creativity and resourcefulness, especially in low resource environments, are underrated strategic advantages. these experiences train people to solve complex problems that AI alone cannot handle. Tech can help heal identity and belonging gaps by scaling representation. digital twins and AI tools can make it normal to see black and brown leaders, shifting what younger generations believe is possible for themselves.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik talks with autistic hypnotist Lawrence Bartley about what actually happens when anxiety starts to rule your life and why traditional talk therapy is not always enough. Lawrence shares how a single hypnotherapy session shifted a lifetime of anxiety, how the emotional brain ignores logic, and why real change can sometimes happen faster than we have been told. If you are dealing with anxiety, stress, fear or emotional baggage and you are curious about hypnosis, this conversation breaks down myths, explains how hypnosis works without mind control, and gives simple, practical tools you can try today. This is a grounded look at anxiety healing, hypnosis for mental health, and emotional regulation that you can apply in real life across work, relationships, and everyday stress. About the Guest: Lawrence Bartley is an autistic hypnotist who supports people. especially autistic individuals. to release anxiety, fear, stress, addictions and long held emotional pain through hypnotherapy. After years of anxiety that did not shift with therapy, counseling and lifestyle tools, he experienced a powerful change during a hypnotherapy training and decided to dedicate his work to helping others access the same level of emotional freedom. Lawrence focuses on practical subconscious work, emotional energy, and guidance that keeps the client in control of their own healing. Key Takeaways: Anxiety often comes from short childhood moments that the emotional brain never processed, so it does not always require years of work to shift. Logic alone cannot dissolve anxiety or phobias. emotions are stored in the emotional brain, not the analytical brain, which is why “talking yourself out of it” rarely works. Hypnosis is not mind control or movie style drama. in ethical hypnotherapy the client is always in control, following suggestions they agree to, and the goal is healing, not performance. Lawrence describes healing his lifelong anxiety after a focused hypnosis session during a training, following several days of going in and out of trance and working on his subconscious patterns. Emotional energy can be shifted by activating the anxious feeling, then imagining its movement in the body and reversing that movement to neutralize the charge. A simple self tool he shares. notice where anxiety sits in your body, imagine its direction of spin, mentally reverse the spin, then fill your body with a “healing color” that feels safe and strong. He also recommends Jin Shin Jutsu. a Japanese practice where you gently hold each finger to calm worry, fear, anger, sadness and low self esteem while you feel the pulse and let the nervous system settle. Real healing starts when you stop fighting your mind and start listening to what it is trying to protect you from. awareness plus the right tools can turn anxiety from a life sentence into a solvable problem.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with scientist, biotech leader and debut novelist Shivani Malik to unpack how grief can quietly reroute a life that looks “perfect” on paper. Shivani shares how losing her mother. the person who championed her move from India to the US for a PhD and a career in cancer research. forced her to ask a hard question. Am I building the life I truly choose. or the one that was handed to me as the immigrant gold standard Her debut novel “The Sky Is Different Here” becomes the container for that inquiry. blending STEM and storytelling to explore grief, ambition, belonging, identity, women in STEM and the emotional cost of chasing the immigrant dream. If you have ever hit your goals and still felt strangely empty. this conversation will land close to home and give you pragmatic language and tools to actually sit with your emotions instead of outrunning them.   About The Guest:   Shivani Malik is a scientist, immigrant, biotech leader and debut novelist. She moved from India to the United States for her PhD. trained at Stanford and UCSF and built a high impact career in cancer research and drug development. After the sudden death of her mother. Shivani began writing as a way to process unresolved grief and question the version of success she had been running toward. That process eventually became her debut novel “The Sky Is Different Here.” a work of fiction rooted in real emotional truths about loss, belonging and the complexity of being a woman, immigrant and dream chaser. Today she continues her work in biotech while using story as a way to build community around shared struggle, invisible expectations and the cost of never slowing down.   Key Takeaways: Grief will not stay in the background forever. Shivani reached a point in her postdoctoral training where the “unopened package of grief” for her mother made it impossible to keep functioning on autopilot. The immigrant dream can silently become an emotional contract. She names how passion for science and external expectations blend. making it hard to tell where genuine desire ends and cultural pressure begins. Fiction gave her psychological safety. By fictionalizing roughly shaped versions of her lived experience. she could tell the emotional truth without exposing specific people, institutions or workplaces. Science and storytelling share the same backbone. In the lab you still “tell a story” about how a cancer drug works and who it can help. That pattern of connecting dots translated directly into shaping a novel. Healing required both solitude and community. Writing helped her sit with grief. but reading other grief stories and later sharing her own created a sense of community that science culture had not given her. Everyone carries loss and dislocation. whether it is a person, a home or a sense of belonging. Shivani urges listeners to find some way to express it. through writing, conversation, walking, meditation or sitting with feelings instead of numbing them. Expression is step one. sharing is step two. Naming your experience with someone who truly “gets it” becomes a powerful way to move forward rather than just cope. How To Connect With Shivani Malik  : Shivani mentioned three primary ways to reach her.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with MD Selig, a former Marine combat jet attack pilot, historian, filmmaker and author of the novel Hush. They unpack what it means to live inside real conflict, sift through war narratives, intelligence briefings and media spin, and still choose to let the heart lead. MD explains how flying combat missions, reading top secret intel and watching mainstream news side by side pushed him into a crisis of truth that logic could not solve. He shares how turning inward, using love as a compass instead of control or fear, changed the way he understands darkness, hidden histories and humanity's future. If you are feeling overwhelmed by global chaos, conspiracy noise or your own inner storms, this conversation offers a grounded reset. Not spiritual bypass. Not toxic positivity. Just a clear invitation to come back to your own heart and move from there. About the Guest: MD Selig (Michael David Selig) has lived multiple lives in one. He is a decorated Marine combat jet attack pilot, former intelligence officer, historian, musician and filmmaker with work appearing on Netflix, Showtime and Amazon Prime. He is the author of Hush, a novel that blends covert operations, Roswell research, dark hidden histories and spiritual questions into a cinematic story where love is not a slogan, it is the final force that drives everything. MD's core message is simple and inconvenient. You cannot think your way out of a world on fire. You have to feel your way through it, with the heart as your primary compass and the mind as the decoder, not the other way around. Key Takeaways  :   Head vs heart in a chaotic worldMD describes trying to make sense of war using only his mind. Combat missions, secret intel and 24/7 news all told different stories. That cognitive overload pushed him toward the only stable reference point he could trust. his own heart. Darkness as context, not destinationThe research behind Hush dives into Roswell, covert programs and unsettling histories. MD is clear that the goal is not to glorify darkness or fear. It is to see reality clearly enough that we can choose love from an honest place, not fantasy or denial. Media narratives vs lived realityDuring Desert Storm, MD watched CNN coverage that did not match either the missions he flew or the top secret briefings he read. That three way mismatch woke him up to how easily public narratives can be shaped and why internal discernment is non negotiable. Love as operating system, not sentimentFor MD, love is not a soft emotion you wait to feel. It is the core identity underneath the noise. When you move from that identity, your decision making, research, relationships and responses to crisis all shift into a different gear. Your heart as the only reliable compassWhether you are evaluating a leader, a story, or a friend. MD insists your heart can feel what is real. Words and data may look convincing, but your body and intuition will tell you when something is off. That internal calibration is a competitive advantage in a confusing world. Future may intensify, but the assignment stays the sameMD believes the collective moment may feel heavier before it gets lighter. His advice is blunt. brace yourself gently, stop outsourcing your sanity to headlines, and keep returning to love as your base setting. That is how you stay steady while systems shake.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Pragya sits down with J'Nai Zugates and Stephanie Thorpe, the co-founders of The Meraki Way, an integrative healing method designed for high-achieving, burned-out women who are done being dismissed by traditional healthcare. They break down how unresolved trauma, chronic stress and years of self-abandonment show up as autoimmune issues, long COVID symptoms, chronic pain, hormonal chaos and relentless fatigue. You will hear how Stephanie walked away from expensive medications and infusions that were not fixing the root cause, and how J'Nai went from being told she would never run again to completing a marathon after long COVID and multi-system damage. Together they explain how functional lab testing, somatic work, energy healing, holographic memory resolution, epigenetics and nervous system regulation can work as one framework. If you feel misdiagnosed, gaslit or stuck in symptoms no one takes seriously, this conversation gives you a grounded, science plus spirit path back to your own body. achieving women reduce inflammation, balance hormones and reclaim sustainable energy without sacrificing their ambitions.   Key Takeaways: Chronic symptoms like fatigue, pain, autoimmune flares and long COVID complications are often the body's response to years of unresolved stress, trauma and self-abandonment, not random bad luck. The Meraki Way treats health like a bank account. Everything from ultra-processed foods to toxic products to suppressed emotions pulls from your balance, while sleep, real food, sunlight, community and nervous system regulation deposit back in. Functional testing for hormones, gut health, food sensitivities and stress markers gives hard data that your brain and body are overloaded, and it also proves the impact of healing work when you retest. Holographic memory resolution and somatic work help locate the moment the nervous system froze during trauma, update the brain's story and release pain, insomnia and chronic stress patterns that standard labs cannot explain. Epigenetics shows that unhealed trauma can travel through generations. Working with mind plus body tools can shift patterns for you and your family line. High-achieving women often burn out because they carry everyone's problems. A core practice of The Meraki Way is giving those problems back energetically and learning that “no” is a complete sentence. Their 90 day framework combines functional protocols with intuitive tools like human design so clients leave not only healthier but with a clear blueprint for how they are wired to live and decide.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with psychotherapist, lecturer, writer, and former British Army soldier Liam Wakefield to unpack what really sits behind the phrase adversity builds character. This is a straight talking deep dive into childhood adversity, war, chronic illness, identity fracture, PTSD language, and the messy inner work it takes to rebuild a self that feels honest. Liam breaks down adversity driven growth, the role of narrative, inner parts, surrender, isolation, and depth without glamorizing suffering.  About the Guest: Liam Wakefield is a psychotherapist, lecturer, and writer who previously spent 11 years as a British Army soldier. His life has moved through childhood adversity, dangerous deployments, a rare genetic condition, and a full career pivot into psychotherapy. He now runs clinical practices in Sussex and London, lectures on depth psychology and trauma, and writes about adversity driven growth, identity, and the internal architecture of the self. Key Takeaways : Adversity is inevitable suffering, not a virtue. It becomes a catalyst for growth only when we change our relationship to the wound instead of forcing quick positivity. The psyche often fractures under pressure. We build defensive structures to survive. Growth starts when we consciously meet those fractured parts instead of pretending to be “fine”. Surrender is different from giving up. Liam describes surrender as accepting that the current version of you cannot carry everything. That honest collapse creates space for a more aligned self to emerge. Identity is made of many parts. Soldier, carer, sick, strong, protector, vulnerable. Healing means learning which part is speaking, which part is in fear, and which part is capable of leading with integrity. Adversity can distort when it becomes your whole identity or a shield from accountability. It deepens character when it is integrated, not worshipped. Real growth is privilege coded to a degree. Community, resources, and psychological support matter. At the same time, isolation and disconnection are often bigger threats than the pain itself. The work is not to be grateful for suffering. The work is to use what happened as data, depth, and perspective without letting it define your future.

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of home invasion, physical violence, trauma responses, anxiety and mentions of suicidal thoughts in a mental health context. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Megha Parekh, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Jacksonville Jaguars, to unpack what trauma recovery actually looks like when your life and leadership role keep moving at full speed. Megha shares the night her home was violently broken into, how her body reacted for weeks, and why healing is an upward curve but never a straight line. They dive into practical crisis toolbox strategies. from regulating your nervous system with movement and music, to using simple lists when your brain is overloaded, to naming what stresses you and matching it with specific coping tools before crisis hits. Megha also breaks down how to lead teams while you are still healing, why honesty plus boundaries matter, and how to support trauma survivors without trying to “fix” them. This is a grounded, real conversation on trauma, performance, and building systems that keep you alive, not just functional. About The Guest: Megha Parekh is the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Jacksonville Jaguars. She operates at the intersection of law, sports, entertainment, development and leadership, managing billion dollar negotiations and high stakes decisions. Megha is also a survivor of a violent burglary and battery in her own home, a long time volunteer with Crisis Text Line, and an advocate for mental health, crisis support and trauma informed leadership. Her work and story highlight that high performance and deep vulnerability can and should coexist. Key Takeaways: Trauma recovery is not linear. You can perform at a high level at work and still have days when anxiety, fear or numbness spike. Progress over time matters more than “bouncing back.” Your body keeps the score. Shaking, hypervigilance, difficulty breathing and forgetfulness after trauma are physiological responses, not weakness or failure. Naming that reality is the first step to self compassion. Build a crisis toolbox before you need it. Megha uses a simple two column list. on the left, situations that trigger stress, anxiety, loneliness or fear, on the right, specific actions she will take in each scenario. Simple tools work in real life. Lists for daily basics, familiar movies with no surprises, music with a steady beat, walking outside, and beach or nature time all helped her regulate her nervous system without overcomplicating things. Leading while healing requires transparency and boundaries.
