On this episode of Healthy Waves, Avik talks with Barbara Palmer, an occupational therapist turned executive & life coach, about MAP (Make Anything Possible)—a neuroscience-informed coaching method aimed at neutralizing limiting beliefs and aligning with a clear inner vision. We dig into how MAP engages the superconscious to dissolve resistance, why “going within” beats chasing external fixes, and practical steps—like mindful journaling and simple meditation—to regain calm, focus, and follow-through. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or second-guessing your path, this conversation keeps it direct: fewer hacks, more evidence-led inner work that actually shifts behavior. About the guest : Barbara Palmer is a Registered & Licensed Occupational Therapist, Certified MAP Practitioner, Executive Coach, Movie Method Transformational Coach, Certified Health Coach, former college professor & program director, and author of “Happy, Healthy, Whole: A Health and Well-Being Workbook.” Through BP Life Coaching Services, LLC (Houston, Texas), she blends neuroscience, psychology, spirituality, and decades of healthcare leadership to help clients re-pattern beliefs and create sustainable change. Key takeaways : MAP (Make Anything Possible) in plain terms: a structured, repeatable process that engages the superconscious to identify and clear mindset and memory barriers that block goals. From reaction to intention: lasting change starts by “living from the end”—holding a felt vision of the outcome and letting action follow, instead of chasing external fixes. Compassion beats perfectionism: progress accelerates when you stop self-judgment and build self-respect; how you treat yourself shapes what you can give others. Body–mind–energy connection: thought shifts can reduce reactivity and support better physical regulation; clients often report calmer breathing and less tension after sessions. Starter toolkit for stuck moments: (1) Noticing journal—track thoughts, feelings, triggers, and patterns; (2) Simple meditation—train the mind to rest so you can be present under pressure; (3) MAP on-the-go prompt—a brief inner request to the superconscious before challenging situations to reset state. Coach's edge: Barbara's healthcare + leadership background helps translate deep inner work into practical, team-ready behavior change.

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik dives straight into the difference between a motivating “why” and an enduring purpose with guest Meghan Walsh—holistic coach and author of Rare Birds: Break Free from the Flock, Find Your Purpose. We unpack practical intuition (heart-centered check-ins), dealing with self-doubt and limiting beliefs, and how to turn so-called “weaknesses” into leadership strengths. Clear, applicable steps for anyone feeling successful on paper but unfulfilled in life and work. About the guest : Meghan Walsh spent 18 years in corporate leadership before choosing a values-aligned path as a holistic coach, speaker, and author. Through positive psychology and energy work, she helps high achievers reconnect to intuition, release self-doubt, and live their unique purpose. Her book, Rare Birds, releases Tuesday, September 23. Key takeaways: “Why” fuels action; “purpose” is the GPS. Your why can change with life seasons, while purpose provides longer-term direction. Intuition is quieter than the thinking mind. A quick heart-connection practice (breathe, place two fingers on the heart, ask, wait) helps you hear it. Self-doubt often masks self-worth issues. Notice procrastination and triggers; ask, “What's coming up for me right now?” to surface the story underneath. Rewrite old scripts through action. Small next steps compound, build evidence, and replace limiting agreements with empowering ones. Emotions are data, not defects. Meghan's “silver lining model” (Acknowledge–Connect–Empower) reframes perceived weaknesses into leadership strengths. Success “on paper” without fulfillment is a signal, not a sentence. There is always another path if you're willing to take the first step. Start today: do the 2-minute heart check-in, name one limiting belief, choose one simple action that aligns with your purpose. Book note: Rare Birds offers tools to identify your purpose, recalibrate self-talk, and set aligned boundaries. .

In this energizing episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik chats with Alessa Caridi, founder of JobuFIT and certified Pilates instructor, about breaking the myth that a weekly workout is enough. They explore how micro-movements throughout the day can prevent burnout, improve focus, and combat desk-induced body pain. Alessa introduces her “50-10 ratio” for integrating mindful movement into the workday and shares a powerful 3-step posture check that instantly re-centers the body and brain. It's a call to reclaim your physical health—without disrupting your workflow. About the Guest:Alessa Caridi is the founder of JobuFIT, author of The Ultimate Workspace Toolkit, and a globally recognized wellness speaker. With roots in dance, Pilates, and cross-cultural living, Alessa fuses movement science and workplace ergonomics to transform how professionals approach daily well-being. She's been featured from TV studios to the UN stage, advocating for sustainable energy and pain-free work lives. Key Takeaways: Movement isn't just for the gym. Your health depends on daily motion—start with Alessa's 50-10 strategy. Small actions like posture shifts, squats, and leg lifts can reset energy and combat stress. Your workspace posture can signal your brain to shut down or power up—don't let it drain you. Finding “red car moments”—tiny gaps in your day—can build lifelong wellness habits. Wellness is not all or nothing; it's a series of conscious, integrated choices.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with 12-time national boxing champion and mindset speaker Cam F. Awesome to explore the link between self-talk, resilience, and reinvention. Cam opens up about the shame of being removed from the Olympic team, how he rewrote his internal dialogue, and why he legally changed his last name to “Awesome.” This episode is a must-listen for anyone battling self-doubt, burnout, or fear of change—Cam drops real, raw insights into how our thoughts shape our reality and why discipline, not comfort, is the true expression of self-love. About the Guest:Cam F. Awesome is a former U.S. Olympic boxing team captain, 12-time national champion, motivational speaker, and author of Becoming Awesome. Known for his transformation from bullied teen to elite athlete and now mindset mentor, Cam inspires people to rewire their self-talk and reframe failure as fuel. His work centers on empowering others to become the author of their own life story. Key Takeaways: Self-talk shapes identity—change your narrative, change your life. Discipline is love. Set your future self up for success today. Failure is feedback, not a verdict. Internal dialogue is often more powerful than external circumstances. Reinvention doesn't require abandoning your past—it requires owning your future.

In this captivating episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, award-winning author and National Geographic explorer Chip Walter joins Avik to explore a bold and unsettling question: Are we evolving into cyber sapiens—beings that transcend biology through technology? From brain implants to AI-human integration, Chip discusses how the next phase of human evolution might blur the line between man and machine. They also delve into the race for digital immortality, Silicon Valley's ambition to defeat death, and what it all means for our future as a species. About the Guest:Chip Walter is a six-time author, filmmaker, former CNN bureau chief, and National Geographic explorer. His work explores the wonders of human evolution, the ethics of artificial intelligence, and the pursuit of longevity. His latest novel Doppelgänger imagines a future where a man uploads his mind into a cyborg to solve his own murder. Chip also documents his global travels at vagabondadventure.com. Key Takeaways: Cyber Sapiens may be the next evolutionary leap as humans integrate with machines to stay relevant. The concept of uploading consciousness is no longer just sci-fi—serious scientists and tech moguls are investing in this pursuit. Longevity research aims not just to extend life, but to cure aging at its root. Evolution isn't just biological anymore—technology is now the primary driver. If misused, these advancements could lead to inequality or even humanity's obsolescence.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik is joined by Dr. Bhargav Patel, a physician, psychiatrist, and entrepreneur behind the award-winning wellness brand MyPEAK Supplements. Dr. Patel shares how his journey through medical school and psychiatry shaped his mission to create clean, effective, and accessible science-backed supplements. From tackling misinformation in the supplement industry to making wellness more equitable, Dr. Patel discusses the core pillars of health—sleep, diet, exercise—and how supplements can enhance, not replace, those foundations. Learn how he built a high-performance company grounded in neuroscience, functional medicine, and real-world accessibility. About the Guest:Dr. Bhargav Patel is a psychiatrist at Brown University and Medical Director of AI Decision Support at Sally AI.

MyPEAK Wellness, Dr. Patel's flagship formula, includes 27 ingredients targeting cognition, energy, and recovery. Accessibility is central to MyPEAK's mission—bringing high-quality, science-based supplements at a fraction of the cost. The supplement industry needs greater honesty and scientific rigor to gain trust in mainstream healthcare. Start your wellness journey with small, daily rituals—better sleep hygiene, more fruits and veggies, or a daily walk.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with Jordan Calgeron—2x exited founder and President of StratDev—to explore the often-overlooked mental and emotional journey of young entrepreneurs. From building his first company in college to turning down 11 acquisition offers in a single year, Jordan reveals the unseen pressures of early success, including burnout, isolation, and the struggle to find balance. He also shares personal strategies on setting boundaries, protecting energy, and choosing growth with integrity over fast exits. About the Guest:Jordan Calgeron is a serial entrepreneur and the current President of StratDev, a Top 100 US marketing firm. He's built and sold companies by age 26, delivered TEDx talks, and even launched a wine brand. Beyond business, Jordan is committed to mental resilience, long-term sustainability, and redefining what success looks like in the startup world. Key Takeaways: Starting young can lead to burnout fast—Jordan worked 20-hour days during college, often sacrificing social life and sleep. True vacations and time-blocking are essential tools Jordan uses to avoid mental collapse. He turned down 11 acquisition offers in 2023 to play the long game—and the decision paid off. Quick decision-making and the ability to course-correct are more valuable than intelligence in entrepreneurship. Building a business shouldn't come at the cost of losing yourself—find time to recalibrate, reconnect, and reflect.

From humble beginnings as immigrants to building a thriving home care business on a credit card advance, Paul and his wife prove that purpose and mindset can outwork any resource. This powerful conversation dives into the themes of purpose, personal growth, overcoming adversity, and reprogramming failure into opportunity.

In this episode, transformational coach and author Kelly Keefe joins Avik to unpack the deep connection between language, mindset, and manifestation. From struggling with self-doubt to leading thousands into empowerment, Kelly shares how the words we use shape the lives we lead. She explains why the brain seeks to confirm whatever story we tell it—whether empowering or disempowering—and how shifting language patterns like “I don't know” or “I have to” can alter our reality. Kelly offers practical tips on using affirmations effectively, aligning with your truth, and rewiring limiting beliefs through intentional self-talk. About the Guest:Kelly Keefe is the founder of The Heart Space, a transformational coach, energy healer, speaker, and author of Rise Above Fear. With over 20,000 hours in spiritual study and personal transformation, she helps people reframe their inner dialogue, overcome fear-based conditioning, and lead more empowered lives. Her work blends neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and embodiment practices to guide lasting change. Key Takeaways: The subconscious mind believes what you tell it—so language matters. “I don't know” and “I have to” are disempowering defaults. Effective affirmations must stretch belief but remain believable. Speaking affirmations in your own voice enhances rewiring. Self-reflection and better internal questions lead to better outcomes.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with “health detective” Beth Mielbrecht about moving beyond trial-and-error wellness. Beth blends engineering-style problem solving with energetic and bioindividual approaches to help people identify root causes—rather than silencing symptoms. From digestion and detox to stress, grief, and belief systems, she explains how tuning into your body's signals can drive practical change in daily choices. This direct conversation challenges “it's just age/genetics” thinking and offers a clear path: ask better questions, listen closely, and take aligned action. About the guest : Beth Mielbrecht, known as a “health detective,” combines a background in mechanical engineering with training in Reiki, homeopathy, and bioenergetic testing. She helps clients uncover individualized root causes and create targeted next steps—without medical diagnosis or one-size-fits-all fixes. Key takeaways: Your body is not the enemy—it's always trying to heal; symptoms are messages, not mistakes. Treating pain without asking “why now, why here?” can mute signals but miss the root cause. Daily elimination, safe detoxification, and reducing exposure to common toxins can unlock stalled progress. Emotions matter: grief and chronic stress often map onto physical weak spots (e.g., lungs, adrenals, thyroid). Beliefs shape outcomes; closing the door on possibility narrows what you try—and what works. Practical cadence: ask specific questions → listen to what changes symptoms → act on small, testable steps. Track patterns (food, sleep, people, places) to see what reliably helps or harms. “Whole-body” isn't anti-medicine; it's expanding your health team and methods when standard paths stall. Gentle, personalized support (e.g., homeopathic/energetic tools) can increase capacity to move, engage, and live. Progress compounds: relief in one area (e.g., joints) can catalyze energy, mood, and life decisions.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Avonley Lightstone, author of Strength of Scars, about rebuilding identity after early childhood trauma, adoption, and years of abuse. Avonley explains how faith, honest forgiveness, and telling the truth (without glamorizing pain) helped her move past suicidal ideation, break family patterns, and turn scars into service. This direct, no-fluff conversation covers resilience, survivor guilt, spiritual grounding, boundaries with harmful family dynamics, and why sharing your story matters. About the guest : Avonley Lightstone is a writer and speaker whose memoir Strength of Scars chronicles the journey from childhood tragedy and abusive adoption to healing through faith and radical honesty. She shares practical tools for survivors and is developing a series that distills lessons on recovery and resilience. Key takeaways: Early trauma can fracture identity; naming the truth without dramatizing it is the first step toward integration and healing. Faith as practice, not bypass: prayer, hope, and meaning-making helped Avonley move through pain rather than avoid it. Forgiveness ≠ access: you can forgive while keeping firm boundaries with people who refuse accountability. Rewrite the narrative: scars (seen or unseen) mark survival, not identity; your story can serve others when told responsibly. From ideation to action steps: replacing harmful thought loops with connection (prayer/journaling), professional help, and community resources breaks cycles. Adoption nuance: gratitude doesn't erase harm; calling out abusive dynamics (scapegoating, favoritism, narcissistic control) is part of recovery. Break generational patterns: consciously parent yourself (and your children) with new scripts—safety, honesty, regulation, and support. Share with care: write privately first (journals/letters) to process; publish later to help others once you have support and stability. Micro-habits of resilience: daily reflection, nature time, and service to others compound into long-term strength. Spiritual lens: faith reframed scars as testimony—grounding, direction, and responsibility to lift others.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with psychotherapist and reclamation coach Joshua Dvorkin about rebuilding identity after seismic change—chronic illness, disability, injury, or any life detour. Joshua shares a practical, trauma-informed path he calls “resilience without romanticism”: acknowledge reality, stabilize body and mind, rewrite your narrative with compassion and truth, live by your values, and grow forward. We get into belief frameworks, a seven-column thought record for reframing negative thinking, and how high-achievers can accept support without losing self-respect. If you or your team are navigating tough transitions, this conversation offers clear tools, not clichés—so you can reclaim authorship without abandoning your authentic self. About the guest: Joshua Dvorkin is a psychotherapist, reclamation coach, and founder of Headway Mental Health. After a spinal cord injury at 29, he rebuilt his life and now helps professionals and leaders reclaim identity with grounded, trauma-informed practices—no toxic positivity, no fluff. Key takeaways: Reclamation starts with reality acceptance: name the loss without minimizing it, then decide what you will do next. Use a values inventory to reconnect with identity: what you stood for before likely still matters now. Try a seven-column thought record (CBT): capture situation, automatic thought, emotions, evidence for/against, balanced thought, and re-rate feelings. Replace “bounce back fast” with resilience without romanticism: healing has no fixed timeline. Language shapes outcomes: beliefs about worthiness influence choices, relationships, and perceived possibilities. For high-achievers, receiving help is a skill: letting others show up for you can expand impact, not reduce autonomy. Micro-practice: each morning, name one feeling, one non-negotiable value, and one aligned micro-action. Repeat for 7 days. Model inclusion for kids and teams: visible adaptations can teach empathy, capability, and respect. Boundary-led living: decisions aligned with values reduce anxiety and clarify the next right step. Leaders: stabilize body, mind, and emotions first; strategy is stronger on solid ground.

On this Healthy Waves episode, host Avik digs into how aerospace-level problem-solving meets wellness tech. Guest Mark Fox (former Space Shuttle chief engineer, hot-air balloonist, and airplane builder) explains why he shifted from aircraft to energy-based wellness devices. We unpack what pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and resonance-frequency approaches claim to do, how protocols are designed, portability and cost tradeoffs vs. legacy gear, and where AI-driven biometrics might steer the next decade. Direct, no fluff—just a clear look at what this tech promises, what users report, and what still needs rigorous proof for platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. About the guest : Mark Fox is an aerospace engineer turned wellness tech founder at Resona Health (resona.health). Drawing on systems thinking (including TRIZ creative problem-solving), he designs portable, non-invasive devices intended to support general well-being through frequency-based protocols. Key takeaways: Why the pivot: engineering skills can transfer from avionics to wellness when the goal is simpler, more accessible tools for everyday use. Frequency-based view: the talk frames the body as chemical, mechanical, and electrical—arguing wellness tools shouldn't ignore bio-electromagnetic processes. How protocols are built: “frequency pairs” change over time like chords in a song; many protocols emerged from decades of practitioner iteration. Portability and access: a pocket device aims to make sessions simpler and more affordable than clinic-only mats or large systems. Reported use cases: the guest discusses user-reported improvements in stress, HRV, sleep, pain, and more—presented as claims and ongoing studies, not medical advice. Safety framing: energy level and frequency matter; the device output described is far below MRI fields, though MRI safety analogies should not be read as equivalence in efficacy. AI + biometrics: future direction includes watches, cloud trends, and automated recommendations—raising opportunities and the need for privacy and validation. Bottom line: intriguing engineering applied to wellness; further independent, peer-reviewed evidence is essential before making health decisions.

In this deeply grounded episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Chaya Garcia—an educator in love, dating, and self-healing—to explore how love, relationships, and self-worth intersect. Chaya opens up about her own transformative moment of accountability and shares why self-love is the foundation for emotional clarity and lasting relationships. From spotting red flags to breaking free from codependent cycles, this episode challenges societal norms and invites you to rewrite your love story—starting with yourself. About the Guest:Chaya Garcia is a radical truth-teller and relationship mentor known as the Epic Love Expert. She helps people stop seeking external validation and instead cultivate deep self-trust, emotional boundaries, and spiritual alignment. With a focus on building long-lasting, soul-aligned partnerships, Chaya teaches how to walk away with power, say yes with clarity, and design a life rooted in truth. Her free resources, coaching, and signature frameworks support individuals through dating, heartbreak, and legacy-level healing. Key Takeaways: Healing begins when you stop blaming others and take responsibility without shame. Confusion is often a sign of misalignment—clarity comes from inner work, not more effort. Emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and sobriety are essential dating prerequisites. Reconnecting with your inner child builds self-love, which in turn attracts healthier relationships. Love is not attention. True love brings calm—not chaos.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kristine Duncombe, a guide, mentor, and advocate for emotional well-being. Kristine's story reflects the courage of transformation — moving through life's challenges, embracing vulnerability, and creating pathways of resilience for herself and those she serves. Together, Avik and Kristine explore themes of healing, self-compassion, and the importance of building supportive connections that allow us to grow stronger, even in the face of adversity. Listeners will learn how Kristine's work helps individuals release limiting patterns, embrace authenticity, and cultivate resilience through mindful practices. This conversation offers both practical tools and deep reflections for anyone seeking to navigate life's transitions with clarity and purpose. About the Guest Kristine Duncombe is a coach, mentor, and speaker dedicated to helping people heal and thrive through connection and resilience. Drawing on her own journey, she empowers individuals to cultivate self-awareness, embrace their authentic selves, and build inner strength. Her work combines compassion, real-world insight, and practical guidance to support emotional healing and personal transformation. Key Takeaways for Listeners Healing requires both courage and compassion — allowing ourselves to be seen without judgment. Resilience is not about avoiding pain but learning how to move through it with presence and support. Building authentic connections fosters trust, safety, and emotional growth. Self-compassion is a critical practice in overcoming limiting beliefs and internal criticism. Embracing vulnerability opens the door to deeper relationships and inner peace. Personal transformation often begins with small, consistent practices like mindfulness, journaling, or self-reflection. Resilience is a skill that can be cultivated over time through patience and intentional effort. Supportive communities play an essential role in helping us feel less alone and more empowered in our healing journey.

A direct conversation on what happens after war ends and the mind keeps fighting. U.S. Army veteran Donald Dunn (68 months deployed across Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan) breaks down survivor's guilt, depression, isolation, and why documenting your story can be a turning point. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life with host Avik, we discuss his books Echoes of War and When Demons Followed Me Home, the mission behind Veteran Voice Radio and Spirits & Stories, and practical ways families can understand invisible wounds. Straight talk for veterans, families, therapists, and anyone navigating trauma. About the Guest : Donald Dunn is a decorated U.S. Army veteran, author of Echoes of War, creator behind Veteran Voice Radio and Spirits & Stories, and founder of Barracks Media. His upcoming book When Demons Followed Me Home uses metaphor to make hidden injuries visible. Key Takeaways: Coming home was harder than combat; the “real war” began after the uniform. Survivor's guilt (loss of friends on June 28, 2005) shifted deployments from “job” to life-or-death reality. Unspoken trauma erodes family bonds; silence created distance with spouse and children. Isolation disguised as work (long-haul trucking) intensified depression. A breaking point at home signaled it was time to seek professional help. Writing first for family (not publication) enabled honesty without interruption or judgment. Putting feelings into words creates third-person perspective and emotional regulation. Repeatedly telling the story reduces reactivity; you still feel, but you gain control. Healing requires responsibility and amends for harm done during depressive or addictive periods. The “demons” in his new book are metaphors—making homelessness, addiction, and rage legible to non-traumatized readers. .

Entrepreneurship doesn't have to run on burnout. In this Healthy Waves episode, host Avik explores how founders can build sustainable success by integrating modern biohacking with timeless practices like meditation, breathwork, mindful movement, and energy awareness. Guest Alessandro Grampa—serial impact entrepreneur, Buddhist practitioner, and founder of Whole Green Wisdom—breaks down his framework for reprogramming the nervous system, rebuilding habits, and leading without sacrificing health. About the guest: Alessandro Grampa is a serial impact entrepreneur and the founder of Whole Green Wisdom, a community, podcast, newsletter, and founders-only retreats helping entrepreneurs align biology, mindset, and energy. A longtime meditator and biohacker, he draws on ancient wisdom and modern science to help leaders perform without burning out. Key takeaways: Founders need a team for the self—not just the business—covering training for mindset, body, and recovery. Burnout signals misaligned beliefs and habits; sustainable success comes from rewiring, not pushing harder. Treat meditation as “gym for the mind”: start with 5–10 minutes, build consistency, and progress like strength training. Three-bubble model: Mind (awareness + rehearsal), Body (sleep, nutrition timing, movement), Energy (restoring coherence so the system works as one). Habit science: consistent practice over ~21+ days helps shift automatic behaviors; track cause → effect between choices and energy. Breath awareness and structured breathwork can rapidly reset stress physiology; pair with movement (e.g., yoga) to reduce pain and improve focus. Many entrepreneurs identify as neurodiverse; acknowledging differences enables better toolkits and leadership. Balance isn't idealism: leaders can scale with fewer hours by designing systems, protecting recovery, and doing deep personal work. Replace “do more” with “align better”: when beliefs, biology, and energy match the mission, work compounds. Community matters: learning with peers (retreats, groups) accelerates behavior change and keeps it real.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik interviews Rich Brown—U.S. Marine Corps veteran, co-founder of Honor Bound Fit, and event director of Guidon 22, a 22-mile ruck with 22 pounds held around the holidays to combat veteran suicide. Rich breaks down why many veterans lose tribe and purpose after service—and how community, service-oriented leadership, and disciplined fitness can restore both. We unpack Marine-tested leadership principles that translate to business and everyday life, and how entrepreneurship can be both a path to meaning and a calculated risk worth preparing for. Clear, direct, and action-focused for listeners who want prevention, not just awareness. About the Guest: Rich Brown is a combat service-disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran and founder of Global Protective Services, co-founder of Honor Bound Fit (Fredericksburg, VA), and event director of Guidon 22—a ruck march dedicated to preventing veteran suicide and honoring fallen veterans and first responders. Key Takeaways: Guidon 22 = action over awareness: a 22-mile ruck with 22 pounds held near the holidays (when suicide risk spikes) to prevent, not just publicize, veteran suicide. Tribe + purpose are protective: after transition to civilian life, losing unit identity and mission raises risk; structured community and shared goals help restore meaning. Leadership that serves down the chain: the general thinks about the private; leaders exist to enable the frontline to perform. Train yourself out of a job: promote readiness by teaching your team to do your role—master it, then transfer it. Always communicate the “why”: commander's intent empowers smarter, adaptive execution; repeat what matters—consistency isn't “hazing,” it's accountability. Be useful first: orient attention outward—help the person to your left/right; usefulness builds personal belief and resilience. Fitness as prevention, not just recovery: moderate-to-intense training improves mood and longevity; add first-aid and protector skills for real-world readiness. Tough and tender: true strength is knowing when to push and when to support—vulnerability and courage aren't opposites. Entrepreneurship for veterans: meaningful path with upside and real risk—prepare, de-risk, and apply service-honed decision-making.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik sits down with licensed professional counselor and AACCT-certified sex therapist Daniel Fleshner, founder of Inflection Point Therapy, to cut through the hype around mental-health tech. From AI chatbots and teletherapy to outcome tracking and ethics, Daniel explains where digital tools genuinely improve access and results—and where they fall short for complex trauma, grief, and deep relational healing. If you're evaluating mental-health apps, online therapy platforms, or “AI therapy,” this conversation offers a direct, no-nonsense framework for safer, smarter decisions that actually support well-being. SEO: mental health technology, AI therapy, chatbots, teletherapy, therapy outcomes, data privacy, ethics, accessibility. About the guest : Daniel Fleshner is a licensed professional counselor, AACCT-certified sex therapist, and founder of Inflection Point Therapy. He works at the intersection of sex therapy, trauma-informed care, and health-system reform—advising startups, speaking for organizations, and advocating for ethical, evidence-informed use of technology in mental health. Key takeaways: Access vs. outcomes: Tech can widen access (e.g., teletherapy) and improve outcomes, but effect sizes in traditional therapy show clear room to grow—use tools that complement, not replace, therapy. Right tool, right job: Chatbots can aid decision-making and concrete problem-solving. For complex trauma, grief, and deep attachment work, prioritize a trained human therapist. Evaluate apps pragmatically: Look for transparent data privacy, risk management, clinical input, and honest claims about scope. Be wary of “one-stop AI therapist” marketing. Adjunct, not substitute: If you use an app, pair it with therapy and use it between sessions for journaling, skills practice, and accountability. Ethics matters: Intentions behind products matter. Some builders are profit-first; others are well-meaning but lack a clinical lens—both can miss safety and quality. Healthy expectations: Therapy isn't a magic bullet or a sham. It's a structured process that still requires hard work, realistic goals, and time. Ideal partnership: Put clinicians at the table (leadership, equity) to bridge therapy, business, and tech—then build tools that support real-world therapeutic work. Personal action: Define what you actually need (support, skills, human connection) before choosing any platform or app. How to connect with the guest Substack: The Disrupted Therapist Website: inflectionPointTherapy.com (contact form reaches Daniel directly) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this raw and grounding episode, Avik speaks with author and healer Samantha Jones Darling about her newest book I Am Ready: Let That Ish Go. From surviving deep trauma to guiding others in healing, Samantha shares how surrender, emotional grounding, and radical truth-telling helped her navigate PTSD, addiction, and illness. She explains what “letting go” really means—beyond clichés—and offers a powerful reframe of grief as a wise friend. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a shift, this episode is your call to pause, feel, and rise. About the Guest:Samantha Jones Darling is an author, healer, and world traveler known for her soulful approach to transformation. Her book I Am Ready: Let That Ish Go is both a guidebook and a soul anthem for those ready to release what no longer serves them. Through private retreats, somatic wisdom, and her unique "Magic Breath" practice, she helps others break free from survival patterns and reclaim their truth. Samantha's work blends deep emotional presence, spiritual depth, and practical clarity. Key Takeaways: Letting go is not about forgetting—it's about releasing what's no longer yours to carry. Healing requires grounding: Samantha's “Magic Breath” is a powerful tool to reset your emotional safety. You don't need to heal everything at once. Start with one thing. Grief isn't the enemy. It's a teacher, a friend, and a portal to healing. Full surrender opens the door to unexpected miracles—when you stop performing and start being.

Whether you're struggling with age, addiction, or doubt—Rand's story proves it's never too late to begin again. About the Guest:Rand Timmerman is a former Marine Corps officer, attorney, and author of A Spiritual Passage, a photo-journal memoir of his 6-month hike through the Appalachian Trail. Now sober, he speaks openly about addiction, PTSD, and spiritual healing later in life. Rand's work offers hope to anyone feeling stuck, broken, or too old to chase transformation. Key Takeaways: At 72, Rand hiked 2,200 miles to help his grieving brother and discovered his own healing. Recovery is possible at any age—sobriety, service, and nature helped him reclaim purpose. The Appalachian Trail revealed emotional and physical limits—and how to push beyond them. Addiction is not a moral failure; understanding its biological basis changes the path to healing. Spiritual connection and surrender were critical in maintaining peace and sobriety.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Sana explores the transformative intersection of communication, self-awareness, and relational intelligence with Amara Samata — a globally recognized transformational guide and founder of the Inner Guidance Institute. With insights drawn from ancient Tibetan Dzogchen wisdom and modern psychological frameworks, Amara shares how tools like the Inner Mirror Method and Golden Request model help individuals build trust, resolve conflicts, and navigate power dynamics consciously in both personal and professional settings. She addresses common myths about transparency, emotional expression, and the real meaning of empathy. A must-listen for anyone seeking healthier connections and deeper communication. About the Guest:Amara Samata is a transformational guide, communication strategist, and creator of methodologies including the Inner Guidance Method, Inner Mirror, and the Golden Request. With experience across 35 countries and over 2,000 clients, she blends ancient Eastern philosophies with modern psychology to help leaders, couples, and individuals enhance relational intelligence and authentic self-expression. She has worked closely with psychologists, therapists, and spiritual teachers to evolve powerful tools that improve communication, trust, and self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Inner work precedes outer connection: Trust in others starts with self-trust and self-awareness. Communication isn't about talking more — it's about listening to yourself and others simultaneously. Dzogchen-inspired techniques like “feeding your demons” help heal inner resistance and past trauma. Healthy power dynamics rely on mutual respect, not manipulation or dominance. Transparency without discernment can be harmful — honesty must meet emotional intelligence. Misconceptions around ideal communication styles often hinder relational growth.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores the practice of “healing through hugs” with author and coach Melinda Lee, whose memoir Rebel Hugger documents a year of offering consensual hugs to strangers—and the deeper truth she uncovered: the connection she gave others was the connection she hadn't given herself. We discuss intention vs. habit, consent and boundaries, people-pleasing and depletion, and a simple self-hug practice to regulate the nervous system. Clear, grounded, and practical—this conversation reframes touch as an act of presence, not performance. About the Guest: Melinda Lee is the author of Rebel Hugger, a coach, and a certified Healing Touch for Animals practitioner. Her work centers on connection, consent, and embodied compassion. Key Takeaways: Consent first: Melinda always asked, “Can I give you a hug?”—a model for safe, respectful connection. Intention matters more than the act: a present, welcomed hug can be regulating; a habitual hug can be empty. People-pleasing depletes: giving from an “empty cup” invites burnout and dis-ease; self-nourishment is non-negotiable. Boundaries are loving: a hug can invite closeness and still honor where you end and the other begins. Rejection isn't rupture: when someone says “no,” stay in relationship—eye contact, respect, and warmth still connect. The mirror effect: outward generosity can expose inner neglect; notice what you're seeking from others and practice giving it to yourself. Micro-practice: hand on heart, a few slow breaths, feel energy “flow” around the body—20–30 seconds to reset. Safety lens: enter interactions believing most people are kind while staying grounded, aware, and boundaried.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Lisa Druxman, founder of Fit4Mom and author of Level Up Your Life. Together, they unpack how to break free from survival mode and start designing a life of intention and energy—habit by habit. Lisa reveals how small daily choices aligned with core values can radically shift your experience of success, joy, and purpose. If you've ever felt stretched thin between work, parenting, and your personal goals, this conversation is your cue to pause and realign. About the Guest:Lisa Druxman is a nationally recognized fitness entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker.

Key Takeaways: Thriving isn't about doing more—it's about aligning with what matters most. Your habits are either building or breaking your ideal life. “Minimum effective dose” of self-care can transform energy and focus. Defining success on your own terms requires clarity, boundaries, and community. One small, intentional choice today can shift your entire trajectory.

On this episode of Healthy Waves, Avik explores how to stop dimming your light to fit expectations and start living by design. Certified holistic life coach Samantha Kane (Roots Wings Wellness) unpacks practical ways to release limiting beliefs, set boundaries with family and culture, trust your inner compass, and align daily choices with your higher self. We cover somatic micro-practices to stay present, how to handle fear of disappointing others, and why redefining success on your own terms is the opposite of selfishness. If you've felt “restless” or boxed in by labels, this conversation gives you simple, repeatable steps to move from compliance to authentic expression across work, relationships, and lifestyle. About the guest Samantha Kane is a certified holistic life coach and conscious guide at Roots Wings Wellness. She helps people reconnect with their authentic self through intuition-led choices, gentle somatic tools, and values-aligned boundaries. She offers a free guide, “The Art of Nonconformity: 5 Powerful Tips to Break Free and Live Authentically.” Key takeaways Non-conformity isn't chaos; it's clear self-leadership rooted in values, boundaries, and responsibility. Safety and “the known” often mask limiting beliefs; small, consistent decisions create durable change. Start with presence: five minutes daily of breath work, body shakes, or silent reflection resets your nervous system and focus. Redefine success on your terms; stop outsourcing approval to family, culture, or job titles. Honor the “sacrifice”: letting go of outdated identities creates space for what truly fits now. Use your inner compass: intuition + evidence (small experiments) beats external noise. Expect mixed emotions—freedom can feel lonely at first; build supportive spaces and stick with the process. Practical first step: choose one situation this week to pause, notice the old pattern, and take the next right, values-aligned action.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Glen Lubbert, CEO and co-founder of Stamina Lab, about a solution-focused approach that starts with what's already working. Glen breaks down how to reframe burnout as a signpost, swap shame for evidence-based self-efficacy, and design many paths to the same outcome—focus, energy, and resilience—without white-knuckling your habits. Listeners learn practical prompts (“What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make?”) and 24-hour micro-actions to build momentum that lasts across real-life constraints like travel, family, and shifting schedules. Direct, actionable, and grounded in coaching science—not quick fixes. About the guest : Glen Lubbert is the co-founder & CEO of Stamina Lab, a health innovation studio integrating solution-focused coaching, mindfulness, and science-backed behavior strategies. A former Division I athlete, performance coach, and entrepreneur, he has collaborated with leading institutions and teams to help people create sustainable change. Key takeaways: Start from strengths: ask, “What's already working?” This shifts attention from problems to usable resources you can scale. Use the two core prompts: “What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make—for me and others?” Translate the vision into one small action in the next 24 hours; repetition builds self-efficacy and identity (“I am the person who…”). Routines are tools, not rules. When life breaks your routine, choose an alternative path (deep breath, mindful walk, stairs at the airport) that still serves the outcome. Reframe burnout as information, not failure; noticing is progress. Then act on a smallest-next-step that restores focus or energy. Swap guilt/shame loops for evidence collection: list what stopped you from going further off-track (e.g., half a pint, not a full pint). Anchor motivation by asking “What difference will that make?” until it connects to meaningful values (presence, creativity, loved ones). Expect many valid paths to the same river—flexibility beats perfectionism for long-term adherence.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik digs into a direct, practical conversation with Shannon Curtis—founder of Angel Goddess Healing and author of “No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark.” Shannon unpacks how trauma shows up in the body, why sobriety and boundaries keep spiritual work grounded, and how a daily gratitude practice can shift your nervous system without bypassing pain. Expect clear, actionable steps: listen to the body, integrate the soul, and let gratitude train your mind. This is a straight-talk guide to moving from hurt to healing—without fluff. About the guest : Shannon Curtis is a coach and founder of Angel Goddess Healing. Her work blends body awareness, trauma-informed processing, and grounded spiritual practices. She's the author of “No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark” and supports clients with preparation and integration for spiritual experiences alongside everyday habits that actually stick. Key takeaways: The body keeps score: recurring pain, cycles, and fatigue can be early signals to pause, listen, and respond with care—not shame. Healing is integrated work: mind tools (reflection), body tools (sleep, movement, sobriety), and soul tools (meaning, service) must align. Gratitude is training, not a mood: three specific gratitudes daily rewire attention toward what's working without denying hard emotions. Forgiveness is self-liberation: it's about releasing stored anger and reclaiming power—not excusing harm. Grounding prevents bypass: meditation, nutrition, alcohol-free living, and nightly review keep “love and light” tethered to real life. Boundaries are love in action: compassion and clear limits can co-exist; say no to protect healing. Integration matters: after any peak spiritual insight, convert it into small daily practices or it fades. Meaning reframes pain: asking “What is this teaching me?” helps transform experiences into service for others. Curiosity over judgment: with yourself and others, curiosity opens options where judgment shuts them down. Start small today: one minute of breath, one line of gratitude, one honest boundary. Consistency beats intensity.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Joni Marie Iraci—a registered nurse turned award-winning novelist—about late-life reinvention, earning an MFA in her 60s, and the craft behind her thriller Vatican Daughter. Joni breaks down how life experience fuels better storytelling, why continuing education can restart a creative career, and how rigorous research (including miles of walking Rome) elevates fiction. We also discuss mindset shifts from “victim” to “survivor,” practical marketing realities for authors, and how to keep your brain—and courage—active at any age. This is a direct, no-fluff playbook for midlife career change, creative discipline, and purpose. About the guest: Joni Marie Iraci is an author and former registered nurse who returned to college later in life, graduated from Sarah Lawrence, and earned an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. She writes page-turning, research-rich fiction centered on resilient women, including Vatican Daughter. Key takeaways: It's not “too late”: returning to school and embracing new work in your 50s–60s can accelerate creative growth. Leverage lived experience—humor, perspective, and resilience—to write more authentic stories. Practical path: continuing-education programs, steady writing practice, and peer feedback (younger peers can also help with tech). Research that breathes: site walks in Rome/Venice and primary-source study make settings feel real. Fact in fiction: historical events (e.g., 19th-century papal kidnappings) can inform compelling plots when handled responsibly. Craft note: give readers “reprieve scenes” (food, place, texture) to balance thriller intensity. Marketing is work: social media, endorsements, and reader outreach are part of an author's job. Mindset shift: write women who survive, not women defined by victimhood. Community matters: mentorship for emerging writers and asking boldly (blurbs, intros) opens doors. Cognitive wellness: keep learning, reading, and creating to sustain a sharp, purposeful mind. How to connect with Joni Website/contact form: Joni mentioned listeners can reach her via the contact page on her official author website - https://www.jonimarieiraci.com/ (search “Joni Marie Iraci” to find it).

On this episode of Healthy Waves with host Avik, spiritual architect Reginald Martin breaks down how negative religious conditioning (“I am broken,” “I am a sinner”) quietly shapes self-worth, health, and relationships long after leaving organized religion. Drawing from Kemetic metaphysics and practical psychology, Reginald explains why identity frames matter, how “paradoxical HEKA” can recalibrate your energy, and what spiritual sovereignty looks like day-to-day—living authentically, unapologetically, and on your terms without guilt or shame. If you've felt spiritually “homeless” after deconstruction, this conversation offers a clear path to reconstruct your inner architecture and live aligned. About the guest: Reginald Martin is a spiritual architect, metaphysician, and creator of Kametaphysics, a framework blending ancient Kemetic wisdom with modern psychological insight to help people heal subconscious programming and reclaim sovereign, guilt-free lives. Key takeaways : Harmful religious frames can become identity lenses that fuel shame, self-doubt, and chronic misalignment even after leaving religion. From a Kemetic lens, you are born divine, not broken; reframing identity changes the “soil” in which your life-seeds grow. Paradoxical HEKA: honor the signal of pain or imbalance (“I've suppressed my creativity”) while simultaneously affirming divinity and capacity (“and I still create”). This paradox prompts energetic recalibration. Chronic negative beliefs distort the energetic field; restoring balance supports mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Deconstruction is not the destination; reconstruction—mind, body, and soul in balance—is the work that ends spiritual limbo. Spiritual sovereignty means living authentically on your terms, shifting from external to internal locus of control. A simple daily practice: use breath + precise language to speak paradoxical truths that re-encode the subconscious. Use an emotional barometer: feeling good signals alignment; feeling bad flags misalignment and invites a gentle course-correct. Leaders, creators, and parents model sovereignty by embodying clear standards rooted in inner alignment, not external approval. Freedom doesn't reject spirituality; it reclaims it—without shame, with responsibility.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik sits down with movement therapist Vanessa Leone to explore how movement is much more than exercise—it's a language of healing, freedom, and connection. With nearly two decades of experience in sports science and wellness, Vanessa shares how navigating ADHD, autoimmune challenges, and hypermobility reshaped her philosophy on movement. She reveals why self-compassion is the root of true self-discipline, how emotions are inseparable from motion, and why joyful movement—not forced workouts—creates lasting transformation. This conversation is a practical guide for anyone struggling with burnout, chronic pain, or the pressure of fitness expectations. Listeners will learn how to reframe movement into something nurturing, sustainable, and deeply therapeutic. About the Guest Vanessa Leone is a consultant for Technogym, international presenter, and disruptor in the fitness and wellness space. With a unique blend of science, lived experience, and compassion, she helps people rediscover the healing power of movement as medicine. Key Takeaways Movement therapy is not about performance or aesthetics—it's about joy, freedom, and self-love. “Motion is emotion, and emotion is motion”—the body and mind are inseparable. Self-compassion fuels self-discipline; shame and force only create burnout. Chronic illness and pain are invitations to slow down and listen to the body's needs. Start with small, enjoyable movements—walking, dancing, stretching—that shift mood and energy. Music, community, and play are powerful gateways into sustainable movement practices. Emotional resilience can be built through movement, as the body often expresses what words cannot.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik explores the power of reclaiming our inner compass and taking radical responsibility for emotional, mental, and physical health. Guests Dr. Marissa Heisel, a holistic healing expert, and Zoey Kyriacou, a licensed therapist and anxiety specialist, share grounded insights on self-healing, boundary setting, and redefining self-care. Together, they reveal how tuning into our body's wisdom, questioning external authority, and practicing practical mental health tools can create clarity, peace, and empowerment. This conversation bridges science and soul, helping you step into alignment and reconnect with your true self. About the Guests Dr. Marissa Heisel is a holistic healing pioneer with 25+ years of experience blending chiropractic care, midwifery, and energy medicine. She helps women reclaim authority over their health and live in alignment with their inner compass. Zoey Kyriacou is a licensed professional counselor, certified anxiety specialist, and founder of Mastermind Counseling. She supports high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and boundaries with a mix of heart and practical tools. Key Takeaways Radical responsibility begins with reclaiming inner authority instead of outsourcing all decisions to external systems. Modern health culture often conditions people into compliance; healing starts with curiosity, embodiment, and listening to the body. High-functioning adults frequently hide anxiety behind success; learning to challenge internal stories and self-talk is essential. Boundaries are difficult for people-pleasers but vital for sustainable mental health; practicing small “no's” helps overcome guilt. Self-care isn't always bubble baths—it can be the unglamorous choices like eating better, resting, or walking outside. True well-being comes from alignment with purpose, presence, and practices that reconnect us to nature and stillness.

Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
Tonnette Jones v. Avik Das
In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore how inner transformation leads to lasting outer success. Self-realization coach Florence Doisneau joins Avik to discuss how turning inward can dissolve burnout, boost confidence, and bring peace in both personal and professional life. Florence shares her journey from cycles of overwhelm to awakening through the 3 Principles framework and offers actionable insights on tuning into your intuition, discerning your ego from your core self, and why external strategies often fail without inner clarity. Whether you're feeling stuck or ready for deeper alignment, this conversation offers a path forward through self-awareness and grounded inner connection. This episode is a must-listen for professionals, wellness seekers, and anyone feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by life's noise. Tune in for inspiration, wisdom, and one simple daily practice that can change your mental and emotional well-being. About the Guest – Florence Doisneau:Florence is a certified self-realization coach with over a decade of experience in the 3 Principles, Yoga, and NLP. She is the founder of Realization Hub and The Realization Catalyst program, where she guides people from simply surviving life to embracing it fully. Her work centers on helping individuals reconnect with their core selves for deeper peace, clarity, and joy. Key Takeaways :Florence Doisneau emphasizes that true transformation begins within. She explains the difference between personal development and self-realization—where the former focuses on external skills, the latter is about unfolding your inner self. Florence shares how cycles of burnout led her to the 3 Principles and the profound insight that we are not our thoughts. By understanding this, people experience real relief and clarity. One powerful example shared was of a client who transformed a tense relationship with her sister—not by controlling the situation, but by changing how she listened and reacted. Florence reminds us that success, resilience, and fulfillment stem from aligning with our core self, not chasing perfection outside of us. She recommends starting the day by connecting to calm—whether through yoga, journaling, or stillness—before the mind races into tasks. Self-knowledge brings mental health and freedom by helping us disengage from unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with our natural peace. This episode provides both practical tools and deep perspective shifts for anyone seeking clarity, balance, and purpose.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore the raw and transformative nature of life's disruptions. Avik is joined by two incredible guests—David Aferiat, FinTech entrepreneur turned growth coach, and Melinda Lee, author of Rebel Hugger. Together, they unpack the real meaning behind life transitions, identity shifts, and emotional vulnerability. David shares how stepping away from a 20-year leadership role challenged his identity and pushed him into a values-driven future. Melinda opens up about her year of hugging strangers—a bold act that revealed unexpected loneliness and a deeper need for self-love. This is a conversation about moving beyond resistance, reframing discomfort, and finding resilience in unexpected places. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, recovering from burnout, or questioning your next move—this episode is your call to reconnect, realign, and rise. About the Guests:David Aferiat is a former FinTech founder, now a growth coach helping CEOs and leadership teams navigate transformation using the Hero's Journey framework. He also runs Avid Vines, an artisanal champagne venture.Melinda Lee is the author of Rebel Hugger, a healing coach, and energy practitioner. Her work focuses on vulnerability, boundaries, and true belonging through emotional connection. Key Takeaways: Disruption isn't always dramatic; it often begins as a quiet misalignment before a major shift. David shared how walking away from a company he co-founded became an opportunity to build a life aligned with his core values: self-care, learning, and showing up fully. Melinda's hug experiment, while externally full of warmth, revealed internal disconnection. Her transformation came not from others, but from the journey back to herself. Her biggest realization: self-love is foundational for real connection. Both guests highlighted that surrender is not defeat. True surrender comes from trust, not fear. Morning rituals and routines were key tools both guests use to stay grounded amidst change—whether it's Melinda's tea-on-the-porch ritual or David's structured routine rooted in nourishment, movement, and gratitude. Disruption can be a gift—if we choose to see it that way. It's not just about surviving, it's about evolving into a more authentic, values-led version of ourselves.

In this enlightening conversation, Avik and Ananya Grover delve into the critical topic of women's mental health, exploring the complexities of PMS, PMDD, and the societal stigma surrounding these issues. Ananya shares her insights on the challenges women face in seeking proper care and the importance of understanding the mind-body connection. They discuss the role of technology, particularly HealCycle, in empowering women to track their health and advocate for themselves. The conversation concludes with a hopeful outlook on the future of women's mental health and the importance of community and awareness in driving change. Takeaways Women's mental health is often stigmatized and misunderstood. PMS, PMDD, and PME are distinct but related conditions. Diagnosis can be a challenging journey for many women. The societal minimization of women's health issues is prevalent. Hormonal health significantly impacts mental health. Technology can aid in tracking and understanding symptoms. Women should advocate for themselves in healthcare settings. Awareness of menstrual cycles can empower women. Future advancements in women's health are promising. Community support is crucial for women's mental health. Sound bites "Awareness of your cycle can empower you." "You deserve to be your own advocate." "It's real, it's valid, you're not alone."

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we uncover what happens when your dream business turns into a mental and spiritual battlefield. Scott Gilbert, med spa entrepreneur and founder of the 5 Growth Engines system, shares how COVID-19 dismantled his thriving startup overnight and left him grappling with despair, debt, and identity loss. This isn't just a story of financial failure—it's a raw look into the mental health toll of entrepreneurship. Scott opens up about how survival mode led him to betray the very values he built his business on, and how hitting rock bottom became the foundation for a completely new system—one that's sustainable, client-focused, and soul-aligned. If you're a founder silently struggling or feel burned out from trying to “do it all,” this episode is your wake-up call. Tune in to learn how simplifying your business model, embracing discomfort, and reclaiming your integrity can rebuild both your revenue and your resilience. About the Guest:Scott Gilbert is a med spa entrepreneur and creator of the 5 Growth Engines—a framework that helped him rebuild a seven-figure business after losing everything during COVID-19. His mission is to help service-based business owners grow without sacrificing their mental health or integrity. Key Takeaways : Scott's business was devastated when COVID-19 hit just a day after his med spa launched, leaving him with over $400K in investment and no clients. The mental health collapse that followed showed him how financial desperation can hijack integrity and create cycles of self-betrayal. He explains how chasing short-term wins led him to become exactly what he set out to change—selling over serving. His transformation began with one walk, one podcast, and one thread of hope that led to a complete mindset shift. Scott's 5 Growth Engines now help business owners move from burnout to sustainable success with a focus on client results and mental well-being. A core message: simplify your offering, serve deeply, and don't outsource what you haven't learned to manage. He breaks the myth that outsourcing without understanding can lead to freedom—instead, it creates disconnection and poor decision-making.

Is your inner critic running the show? What if the voice inside your head isn't even yours—but a residue of trauma, stress, or dysfunction? In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik dives deep into the science behind cellular healing with Claire Martinsen, CEO of Biobloom Injectables. Claire breaks down the truth about NADH and B12—how these molecules work at the mitochondrial level to support energy, mental clarity, emotional regulation, and trauma recovery. We explore how NADH + B12 injections can outperform oral supplements, support therapy and somatic work, and offer real, bioavailable healing—not just hype. Claire shares her personal journey of transformation, including relief from ADHD symptoms, hormonal imbalances, and chronic fatigue—all by supporting her cells instead of suppressing symptoms. This isn't just about wellness trends—it's molecular repair from the ground up. Whether you're a high achiever on the edge of burnout or someone healing from trauma, this episode offers powerful, science-backed insights for real transformation. ABOUT THE GUEST:Claire Martinsen is the CEO of Biobloom Injectables, a science-driven wellness company focused on bioavailable solutions for mental clarity, energy, and healing. With a background in biology and public health, Claire bridges cutting-edge research with practical application, helping people unlock their potential—cell by cell. KEY TAKEAWAYS: NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide + Hydrogen) is a stable, bioavailable form that supports cellular energy (ATP production), brain health, and DNA repair. Unlike NAD+, which needs conversion and loses potency through digestion, NADH IM injections bypass the gut and deliver 100% absorption. Combined with methylated B12, NADH boosts dopamine, serotonin, and oxygenation in the brain—enhancing focus, mood, and nervous system resilience. Claire shares how NADH helped with her ADHD, back pain, gluten intolerance, immune response, and hormonal balance—without side effects. Bioavailable supplements like NADH+B12 complement trauma therapy and somatic work by stabilizing the nervous system and accelerating healing. Biobloom Injectables is committed to accessible wellness grounded in science, with transdermal patches and sublingual formats underway. Claire's mission is rooted in loss—creating this work in honor of her best friend who died by suicide. Her goal is to make mental wellness and biological repair available to all. CONNECT WITH THE GUEST:Claire Martinson is available on all social platforms under @wheretoclaire. Her company, BioBloom Injectables, offers services globally, including in India.

Confidence Level: I've been an organizer at UChicago for over a year now with my co-organizer, Avik. I also started the UChicago Rationality Group, co-organized a 50-person Midwest EA Retreat, and have spoken to many EA organizers from other universities. A lot of this post is based on vibes and conversations with other organizers, so while it's grounded in experience, some parts are more speculative than others. I'll try to flag the more speculative points when I can (the * indicates points that I'm less certain about). I think it's really important to make sure that EA principles persist in the future. To give one framing for why I believe this: if you think EA is likely to significantly reduce the chances of existential risks, you should think that losing EA is itself a factor significantly contributing to existential risks.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Sana explores the transformative intersection of communication, self-awareness, and relational intelligence with Amara Samata — a globally recognized transformational guide and founder of the Inner Guidance Institute. With insights drawn from ancient Tibetan Dzogchen wisdom and modern psychological frameworks, Amara shares how tools like the Inner Mirror Method and Golden Request model help individuals build trust, resolve conflicts, and navigate power dynamics consciously in both personal and professional settings. She addresses common myths about transparency, emotional expression, and the real meaning of empathy. A must-listen for anyone seeking healthier connections and deeper communication. About the Guest:Amara Samata is a transformational guide, communication strategist, and creator of methodologies including the Inner Guidance Method, Inner Mirror, and the Golden Request. With experience across 35 countries and over 2,000 clients, she blends ancient Eastern philosophies with modern psychology to help leaders, couples, and individuals enhance relational intelligence and authentic self-expression. She has worked closely with psychologists, therapists, and spiritual teachers to evolve powerful tools that improve communication, trust, and self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Inner work precedes outer connection: Trust in others starts with self-trust and self-awareness. Communication isn't about talking more — it's about listening to yourself and others simultaneously. Dzogchen-inspired techniques like “feeding your demons” help heal inner resistance and past trauma. Healthy power dynamics rely on mutual respect, not manipulation or dominance. Transparency without discernment can be harmful — honesty must meet emotional intelligence. Misconceptions around ideal communication styles often hinder relational growth.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Russell Van Brocklen—educator, dyslexia advocate, and founder of DyslexiaClasses.com—about a radical new way to teach struggling readers. Forget rigid phonics drills. Russell introduces the "Speciality First Dyslexia Blueprint," a method rooted in a learner's deepest passion, using tools like comic books or even baseball stats to transform reading outcomes. The conversation blends neuroscience, personal story, and practical strategy to show how dyslexic learners can thrive academically and emotionally by starting where they shine. About the Guest:Russell Van Brocklen, also known as The Dyslexia Professor, is an author, educator, and the founder of DyslexiaClasses.com. A dyslexic learner himself, he built a system that takes students from failure to fluency—without relying on outdated approaches. His evidence-based method is now used to train educators and empower students across the U.S. Key Takeaways: Traditional reading interventions miss the mark for many dyslexic learners. Russell's “Speciality First” model starts with a learner's obsession to build motivation and engagement. Brain scans show dyslexics use different neural pathways; tapping into strengths leads to faster literacy gains. Specific-to-general thinking works better than general-to-specific for dyslexic minds. Real progress starts with personalized content, structured sentence building, and high-frequency repetition. AI should be introduced only after foundational skills are in place.

In this raw and revelatory episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik is joined by Bianca Thomas—licensed mental health counselor, co-founder of Evolve Ventures, and a leading voice in trauma recovery and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Bianca unpacks the silent epidemic of "performative confidence" and walks us through how trauma shapes beliefs like “I'm not good enough.” She shares how CBT can help untangle those deep-rooted narratives and provides actionable tools for self-awareness, emotional safety, and self-empowerment. This is a must-listen if you've ever struggled with self-doubt, perfectionism, or silently questioned your worth. About the Guest:Bianca Thomas, LMHC is the co-founder of Evolve Ventures and the Director of Therapy for Evolve Venture Technologies.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Duff McDuffee, a coach, hypnotist, and master of the unconscious mind, to unravel why high performers often burn out despite their drive. Duff introduces the concept of the "punishment paradigm"—a fear-based approach to productivity—and offers a refreshing alternative: the "progress paradigm." Together, they explore practical strategies to break free from hustle culture, access joy-driven motivation, and build sustainable habits through flow, self-compassion, and pattern-interrupt techniques. About the Guest – Duff McDuffee:Duff McDuffee is a transformative coach and hypnotist who specializes in helping neurodivergent entrepreneurs and creatives reconnect with joy, motivation, and flow. His approach bridges neuroscience, mindfulness, and practical coaching to support clients in breaking out of burnout and shifting from fear-based productivity to fulfillment-driven action. Key Takeaways: The “punishment paradigm” trains us to rely on fear and pressure for motivation, leading to burnout and procrastination. Flow is accessible to anyone through practices like pattern interrupts, mental rehearsal, and reconnecting with your “why.” Self-compassion outperforms self-discipline in long-term motivation and resilience. Rewiring your habits begins with noticing language like “I have to” and replacing it with “I get to.” High performance doesn't require suffering—it can come from ease, alignment, and inner joy.
