Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Savia Rocks opens season seven of the Us People Podcast with reflections on legacy, peeling away cultural conditioning and trauma, listening, and making choices that serve what matters. She interviews  Nuttha Goutier co-founder and CEO of Sabai Thai Spa, who shares growing up in a small village in Thailand with no running water or electricity where community support, joy in hard work, and living in the moment shaped her values. Nuttha describes immigrating to Canada over 25 years ago, overcoming setbacks, doubt, depression, and personal losses by acknowledging the past, letting go, and focusing on present choices, defining herself by resilience. She explains her purpose for building spas as creating a welcoming, belonging “home” experience, promoting self-care as a routine, supporting local communities, and planting a tree for every massage, with success defined by people's happiness and community impact. She outlines her daily routine (early wake-up, meditation, exercise, preparing four kids for school, and choosing gratitude), discusses wellness as preventive care for mind, body, and spirit, and argues that caring for yourself leads to kindness toward others.  Nuttha Goutier speaks about avoiding judgment through respect and acceptance, concerns about technology's impact on younger generations, and suggests more nature, meditation, and yoga in schools. 00:00 Welcome to Yes People Podcast01:24 Meet  Nuttha Goutier02:23 Growing Up in Thailand03:22 Finding Joy in Hard Work05:14 Life as a Journey05:44 Building Through Belief06:31 Self Care and Balance07:15 Looking in the Mirror08:23 Overcoming Life's Challenges10:53 The Power of Resilience11:26 Dealing with Trauma12:37 Letting Go of the Past13:53 Finding Your Purpose15:15 Creating Meaningful Impact17:12 Why Start a Spa Business17:37 Everyone Has a Gift18:14 Defining Success19:36 The Sabai Spa Experience21:12 A Day in the Life22:43 Morning Routine and Mindset23:18 Choosing Your Emotions24:32 Embracing Imperfection25:46 Understanding Wellness and Wellbeing26:45 Wellbeing and Self Care27:23 Preventative Health Philosophy28:16 Body as Vehicle30:05 Judgment and Respect32:05 Technology and Modern Generation34:55 Life Lessons and Quotes36:00 Carrying with Your Heart37:40 Three Ps of Success38:32 Best Advice from Dad39:58 Choices Equal Results41:31 Living Each Day Fully43:03 Forest Meditation Practice44:20 Meditation Journey and Growth45:36 Mental Health and Awareness46:48 Connect and Find Out More47:57 Final Words and GratitudeWebsite: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nutthagoutier/Website: https://www.instagram.com/nutthagoutier/Website: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573378331497&ref=pro_upsell_xav_ig_profile_page_web#Website: https://sabaithai.com/Thank you so much Nuttha Goutier for reminding us that the beauty of kindly has always lied within us - Savia RocksSupport the show

Bridging Two Worlds: Dr. Amir Marvasti on Purpose, Humanizing Eye Care, and LegacyHost Savia Rocks opens Season 7 of the Us People Podcast with a focus on creativity, shedding cultural trauma, finding purpose, and leaving a legacy that benefits humanity. She interviews Dr. Amir Marvasti, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, who shares his background of being born in Texas, raised in Iran until age 18, and then immigrating to the U.S. to rebuild his life in California describing how living between Eastern and Western cultures shaped his identity. Amir explains the contrasting influences of his parents: his father (also an ophthalmologist) modeled discipline, hard work, and goal-driven sacrifice, while his mother modeled a different kind of sacrifice centered on family, along with openness, emotion, and adaptability; he describes himself as a bridge carrying both energies. He discusses defining himself beyond titles, emphasizing that doctors are human, and says his fulfillment comes from helping others especially opening doors for people who were told they could not succeed while connection is central to his sense of purpose and how he evaluates himself when he ‘looks in the mirror.' On peace, Amir frames it as accepting what is out of his control while doing his best with what is within his control. 00:00 Meet Savia Rocks + The Legacy Mindset (Season 7 Teaser)01:10 Welcome to Season 7: Introducing Dr. Amir Marvasti (Ophthalmologist)03:06 Amir's Origin Story: Growing Up Between Iran & the U.S.04:53 Parents, Sacrifice & Identity: Discipline vs Openness08:25 Mirror Question: Purpose, Fulfillment & Being More Than a Title14:52 Connection, Grief & Hard Conversations After Losing His Mother15:58 A Day in the Life of an Ophthalmologist: Humanizing Vision Care21:08 Silent Eye Diseases & Elective Surgery: Glaucoma, Checkups, LASIK22:53 Why Ophthalmology?
