Podcasts about emotional well

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya sits down with Austin Davis, a visionary leader in teenage behavioral health and addiction recovery. With over 15 years of experience guiding teens and families through crisis and healing, Austin shares how true transformation begins not with control—but with unlearning, patience, and compassion. Together, they explore the hidden emotional labor of parents, the dangerous myths around teen binge drinking, and how shifting from “fixing” to “supporting” can change a child's future. Austin's insights reveal why healing is a process of redefining success—from numbers and milestones to human connection and emotional awareness. This is an honest, heart-centered dialogue on breaking cycles, building emotional resilience, and helping teens rediscover who they are beyond their pain.   About the Guest — Austin Davis  : Austin Davis is a behavioral health leader and addiction treatment specialist with over 15 years of experience transforming the lives of teens and families. As the founder and visionary behind a renowned adolescent recovery program, Austin focuses on creating new legacies—empowering young people to rebuild their self-worth, emotional awareness, and relationships. His work bridges science, psychology, and compassion to reimagine what successful recovery truly looks like.   Key Takeaways:   Healing is not about control—it's about patience, presence, and partnership. Parents must unlearn the instinct to “fix” their children and instead create safe, supportive spaces for healing. Success in recovery isn't just about numbers—it's about paradigm shifts in how teens see themselves and the world. Teen binge drinking is not just a phase; it's often a symptom of deeper anxiety, trauma, or identity struggles. Open, Socratic-style conversations help parents build trust and prevent crises before they escalate. Community identity matters—sports, music, and service groups provide healthy belonging that social media cannot replace. Every small act of listening and empathy can redirect a teen's life trajectory by even “one degree.”   Connect with Austin Davis   To learn more about Austin's work in teen behavioral health and addiction recovery, connect with him through his organization's website or LinkedIn profile.   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearforkacademy/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

After simultaneous layoffs, Mike Deaton and his wife rejected the default return to corporate life. Instead, they clarified core values, defined anti-values, and designed a purpose-led path into real estate—launching Flipping Dirt, a coaching practice, and partnerships in commercial syndications. Mike connects mindset, health, and business through ultra-endurance training, showing how grit, clear decision frameworks, and value-driven operations translate to profit without losing integrity. This direct conversation breaks down how to rank your values, avoid reactive choices, and turn a crisis into a practical roadmap for entrepreneurship and life. About the guest  : Mike Deaton is a former big-tech leader (Motorola, Nokia, Microsoft) turned real-estate entrepreneur, coach, and ultra-endurance athlete. He co-founded Flipping Dirt, has partnered on major commercial deals, and now builds Life Elevated, a personal brand focused on performance, grit, and purpose. Key takeaways: Values are decision filters: ranking core values and defining anti-values reduces anxiety and speeds choices under pressure. Safety is a mindset, not a salary: a layoff can expose false security and open the door to owner-driven control. Design the day first: journaling an “ideal day” helps reverse-engineer business models, schedules, and priorities. Mission > margins: lead with a client-serving mission (e.g., accessible owner financing) and margins follow sustainably. Review cadence matters: revisit vision, mission, and metrics quarterly to prevent drift toward short-term profits only. Authenticity converts: when values drive offers and delivery, brands resonate and buyer trust increases. Endurance mindset for business: break “100-mile” goals into the next mile/aid station—small, winnable steps compound. Get a guide: a coach or structured framework accelerates clarity during transitions. Time audit: reclaim minutes from passive scrolling for reflective work that compounds returns.

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.   Connect with the guest   You can connect with Barbara Palmer through BP Life Coaching Services, LLC.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Aanya talks with innovation coach and life-design expert Ibeth Ayala, author of No Risk, No Fun and From the Ground Up. This conversation cuts through buzzwords to show how real innovation begins with self-honesty, not strategy decks. Ibeth unpacks her Connect → Create → Try framework, how to spot rising stress before burnout, and why “permission to fail” accelerates progress in careers and companies—especially in legacy industries like insurance. If you're navigating exhaustion, change, or a high-stakes role, this episode offers a direct path to clarity, creativity, and sustainable action. About the Guest  : Ibeth Ayala is an innovation coach, life-design expert, and internationally best-selling author. After a personal reset in her 20s, she's spent years guiding leaders and teams to shift from burnout to bold creativity, building innovation capacity across sectors from insurance to aviation. Key Takeaways: Innovation is an inner game first. External tactics don't land without personal clarity on needs, priorities, and values. Burnout ≠ only about work. Life stress compounds; address the whole system—relationships, health, money, career—rather than a single silo. Use the 3-step loop:Connect (self-check: what do I need?), Create (options, reframes), Try (small experiments to validate). Catch stress early. Rate stress 1–10 and intervene sooner; prevention beats recovery. Drop inherited beliefs. Question norms like “marriage/work is supposed to be hard” and choose what actually serves your life design. Permission to fail—fast. In teams, name failure as expected learning. The sooner you see what doesn't work, the faster you progress. Risk drives momentum. No risk, no fun: calibrated risks unlock creativity and engagement, especially in traditional sectors. Context matters. Diets, routines, and advice are abstractions until personalized to age, health, history, and goals. Design your “ground.” Clear the old (assumptions, limits) before planting new habits—like prepping soil before a garden. Sustainable innovation = ongoing tuning. You don't need to hit rock bottom; build awareness and adjust before crisis.

Why do small moments unleash outsized reactions? In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Tony Iezzi explains reenactments—those unconscious loops that pull us back into old stories. We unpack how everyday interactions can echo deeper themes like shame, abandonment, betrayal, or not being heard, and the 5-step approach to notice, regulate, name the theme, plan, and act differently. Straight talk, practical examples, and a clear path to break the cycle and respond with choice, not conditioning. About the guest   Dr. Tony Iezzi is a clinical psychologist with 35+ years on the front lines of trauma recovery and co-author of Reenactments: Break the Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck in Trauma, Stress, and Everyday Life. His work helps people identify the core themes driving their reactions and replace automatic loops with intentional responses. Key takeaways (bullet points)   Reenactments = patterned loops where body–mind–brain replay past responses in present situations; it's not only “big T” trauma—everyday moments can trigger old themes. Themes drive reactions (loss, abandonment, betrayal, humiliation, feeling unseen, feeling trapped, rescuer/underdog roles). Treat the theme, not just the obvious trigger. Normal reaction vs reenactment: normal passes quickly; reenactment lingers (hours/days) and feels disproportionate or hard to trace. Lingering is a red flag. Awareness is step one. Use daily journaling or meditation to capture incidents, feelings, and the underlying theme (e.g., “I felt shamed in that meeting”). Five-step method: 1) Awareness something happened; 2) Regulate (walk, journal, quiet time) to think clearly; 3) Name the theme; 4) Plan a different response; 5) Execute (e.g., a direct, calm conversation next day). Motives matter: act from self-respect and needs, not people-pleasing; otherwise you recreate the loop. Expect recurrence. Triggers will happen; the goal isn't zero triggers—it's choosing differently when they appear. Face it, don't avoid it. Avoidance keeps you stuck; approach the scary moment with a prepared plan to reclaim your voice and align with who you want to be.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Andrew Drasen, author of A Vision of Hope, to unpack a direct, step-by-step approach to moving beyond survival. Andrew turns raw experience—addiction, relapse, incarceration, and loss—into a practical 90-day framework focused on identity restoration, cognitive restructuring, goal setting, action, and legacy. This conversation gives listeners a clear blueprint for finding direction after disruption and reframes recovery as a universal human process, not a label.   About the Guest  : Andrew Drasen is the author of A Vision of Hope and creator of a 90-day curriculum designed to help people rebuild their lives with identity, clarity, and purpose. His forthcoming trilogy—memoir, reflections companion, and workbook—bridges story into practice and informs community recovery and re-entry initiatives.   Key Takeaways: Recovery is universal: disruptions like burnout, grief, and identity loss require the same disciplined healing and rebuilding process. Start with identity restoration: examine family dynamics, formative experiences, and trauma so patterns don't silently drive daily choices. Move from insight to action: define strengths, weaknesses, and goals; write them down with dates to increase completion likelihood. Use visualization and meditation to clarify a concrete future—work, relationships, routines—and make it feel real enough to pursue. Break big goals into small, dated milestones; consistency builds confidence and momentum. Purpose follows honesty: when actions align with inner values, resilience and follow-through become byproducts, not burdens. Transform pain into service: sharing openly removes shame, turns wounds into armor, and channels experience into helping others. Change the narrative: treat addiction and re-entry primarily as mental health and public-health issues; shape policy through informed public perception.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://avisionofhopebook.com/ Book: A Vision of Hope (releasing soon), preorder now from the website or buy any print edition on 2nd December 2025   Instagram | LinkedIn   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Dr. Thomas E. Becker—organizational psychologist and author of Beyond the Diversity Wars—about practical ways to navigate today's polarization without watering down your values. We unpack whole-person appreciation, a détente mindset for difficult conversations, the identity continuum (from human needs to personal quirks), and clear tactics to reduce conflict across teams, families, and social feeds. If you lead people, work in cross-functional environments, or are exhausted by online extremes, this episode offers direct, actionable tools to protect mental health, improve culture, and move conversations forward.   About the guest  : Dr. Thomas E. Becker is an organizational psychologist and leadership expert with 35+ years of experience helping leaders cut through complexity. His latest book, Beyond the Diversity Wars, reframes divisive debates with human-centered solutions that emphasize understanding, coexistence, and collaboration.   Key takeaways: Polarization has roots in identity and survival needs. Recognize “us vs. them” as an old pattern that no longer serves modern collaboration. Adopt a détente mindset. Your goal isn't to convert or be converted—coexist, understand, and cooperate where possible. Practice whole-person appreciation. See people on an identity continuum: shared human needs (safety, belonging, growth) and unique quirks (hobbies, interests) that can create bridges. Separate empathy from enabling. Ask why someone holds a view; listening isn't agreeing. You can challenge ideas without attacking the person. Set limits with chronic conflict. Don't drain yourself arguing with immovable positions. Choose engagement or disengagement intentionally. Create low-stakes connections. Shared interests (e.g., music) can open space for constructive dialogue on tougher topics. Use daily reps. Once a day, talk with someone who disagrees with you—aim for understanding, not winning. Repair rifts deliberately. Apply détente + whole-person appreciation to re-engage estranged family or colleagues when it's safe and appropriate.   How to connect with the guest   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-e-becker/ Email: beckert1000@gmail.com Book: Beyond the Diversity Wars    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty digs into Future Self Psychology with coach Alyssa Sharp (A Sharp Coach). We break down the difference between visualizing success and embodying it, how to shift out of survival mode, and a simple daily practice to make decisions from clarity rather than fear. You'll hear real client wins, why “pretending” isn't the point, and how identity drives consistent action for women building freedom-based businesses.Keywords: future self psychology, embodiment, mindset shift, identity, goal setting, confidence, entrepreneurship, women founders, boundaries, breathwork, meditation, resilience, self-love. About the Guest  : Alyssa Sharp is a Future Self life & business coach and former six-figure project manager who left burnout to build a values-aligned, freedom-based business. Through A Sharp Coach, she helps ambitious women embody their future selves to earn more, show up confidently online, and design businesses around the lives they actually want. Key Takeaways : Embodiment beats visualization: Don't just picture success—act from the identity of the person who's achieved it. Plan from possibility, not fear: Ask, “If I already had the result, how would I show up and decide today?” Exit survival mode: Slow down, breathe, and widen attention beyond the “next fire” to re-set priorities. One simple practice: Take three deep breaths and ask, “If everything I want were true, what would I choose right now?” Mindset, not make-believe: Borrow the thinking of your future self without ignoring current constraints (e.g., steward $10 as a future millionaire would). Identity drives action: “I am a writer; therefore I write”—identity statements unlock consistent behavior. Unexpected win: Embodiment builds self-respect and authentic presence online—confidence compounds. Design for life first: Structure the business around what matters (e.g., protected family seasons), then align offers and operations.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Andrew Wilson—a trauma-informed fear coach, QHHT practitioner, author, and host of “Beyond Transcendence with Andrew.” They unpack why discomfort is a catalyst for growth, how high achievers slip into self-sabotage, and practical ways to face fear without re-traumatization. We cover shadow work, inner-child healing, journaling, breathwork, and building balance so you can move from reaction to awareness.   About the guest:   Andrew Wilson helps people transform fear into freedom through trauma-informed coaching and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). His work blends mindset, somatic awareness, and practical tools for sustainable emotional regulation and growth.   Key takeaways: Discomfort signals growth. Learning to stay present with hard feelings builds resilience and focus. Avoiding emotions like fear, grief, and shame can lead to burnout, anger, and depression; facing them restores balance. Journaling quiets mental noise and clarifies patterns; it's a low-risk starting point for self-inquiry. Understand and work with the subconscious. Awareness plus repetition helps rewrite self-sabotaging scripts. High achievers often carry poverty-oriented beliefs about worthiness; catching self-sabotage early prevents derailment. Vulnerability isn't weakness. Cultural messages like “real men don't cry” create emotional armor that becomes a cage. Shadow work and inner-child repair help integrate parts shaped by trauma, reducing reactivity. To avoid overwhelm, use grounding tools: breathwork (e.g., box breathing), meditation, yoga, movement, nature time, and consistent self-care. Balance is the goal. When balanced, choices align with values and long-term outcomes improve. Practical litmus test for growth vs. re-traumatization: growing self-awareness, faster repair after conflict, and the ability to pause before reacting.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://www.andrewfwilson.com/ Instagram: Beyond Transcendence with Andrew Facebook: Beyond Transcendence with Andrew Email: btwa2024@gmail.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty and guest Doug O'Brien—master storyteller, hypnotherapist, bestselling author, and NLP trainer—break down how our inner narratives drive mental and emotional health. Doug explains the structure of beliefs (cause → effect → meaning), how NLP, hypnosis, and Havening Techniques interrupt limiting patterns, and why rapid change is possible when we learn to reframe, reprogram, and retell our story. Practical tools include morning questions, state management, and belief reframes (Sleight of Mouth).   About the guest  : Doug O'Brien is a hypnotherapist, international NLP trainer, and author of The User's Guide to Storytelling and The User's Guide to Sleight of Mouth. He teaches practical neuro-linguistic methods, hypnosis, and Havening to help people shift beliefs and behavior effectively.   Key takeaways: Your story shapes your state. We live inside inner representations; narratives can be chains or catalysts for change. Beliefs have structure. Most beliefs follow cause → effect → meaning; change the linkage and you change the belief. Name it to change it. First step: realize “it's a story,” not absolute reality—then author a better one. NLP is a user manual for the brain. Understand your “neuro-linguistics,” and you can reprogram patterns toward desired outcomes. Morning Questions reset focus. Ask: What am I happy/excited/grateful for? Why? How does it feel? Attention directs state; state drives behavior. Havening for trauma. As a psychosensory method, Havening supports safety and can facilitate rapid, lasting change for encoded traumatic responses. Self-work vs. professional help. Many shifts are DIY; for legitimate trauma, work with trained practitioners. Evidence through examples. Compare yourself to role models who share your traits; swap limiting labels for empowering identities. Rapid change is possible. Challenge the story that “change takes years.” With the right tool and readiness, breakthroughs can be immediate. Storytelling persuades. Whether with kids, teams, or audiences, clear stories engage imagination and drive behavior.   How to connect with the guest   Website: essentialcoachingskills.com Podcast: Essential Coaching Skills Podcast Search: “Doug O'Brien hypnotist” to find official links and resources.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya explores how high performers can stop guessing about their health and start listening with precision. Guest Tata Rarin—the “world's only health detective”—blends engineering logic, energy work, and bioenergetic testing to translate body signals into clear action. We cover practical self-awareness tools (Vipassana basics, body scanning, breath focus, single-word anchors like “knowing”), how to use data without losing intuition, and why self-awareness is a performance tool—not a soft skill. If you're chasing goals and flirting with burnout, this episode shows how to turn awareness into a measurable advantage.   About the Guest : Tata Rarin helps founders and high achievers decode health and performance by combining bioenergetic testing, digital muscle testing, and mindfulness practices (including 12+ years of Vipassana). Her approach turns subtle body cues into decisions that improve sleep, stress, focus, and strategic execution.   Key Takeaways: Self-awareness is a performance lever—it improves choices, negotiations, and recovery, reducing avoidable mistakes. Start simple: choose a single anchor word (e.g., “knowing”), repeat for 10–20 seconds to re-center during busy days. Use breath awareness (anapanasati) and brief body scans to detect early signs of imbalance before they escalate. For beginners, body sensations are easier to observe than thoughts; build the skill daily in short reps. Pair metrics (sleep, HRV, activity trackers) with felt experience; numbers reveal blind spots high achievers often miss. Morning routine tip: listen to a short, positive audio before messages or meetings to set focus and reduce reactivity. Continuous observation creates choice under pressure—notice bias, adjust state, then act. Awareness practices support business outcomes: clearer thinking, fewer errors, better energy allocation. Reframe “listening” from passive to strategic—it's how you prevent burnout and sustain output. Build the habit: small, daily reps (>21 days) make self-awareness automatic in high-stakes moments.   Medical Disclaimer:This conversation is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

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.   How to connect with the guest  : Website: yourhealthwithbeth.comSocial: @YourHealthWithBethFree quiz available on the website.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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. .

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Pragya steps in to speak with Edwin Endlich (CMO at Wysh; President, National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion) about the collision of AI, GLP-1 weight-loss costs, and personal finance. Edwin explains why money conversations work better when they start with your story—then shows how AI can act like an “Iron Man suit” for everyday choices: helping you budget for expensive treatments, spot wasteful subscriptions, and decode terms & conditions. We also dig into transparency, scams, and consent in fintech, and how humor can open serious topics like life insurance. Direct, practical, and human—this episode reframes finance so listeners can act with clarity, not confusion.   About the guest  : Edwin Endlich is the Chief Marketing Officer at Wysh and President of the National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion. He blends storytelling, product design, and fintech to make financial protection and planning understandable and accessible.   Key takeaways: GLP-1 realities: Prescription GLP-1 drugs can cost around four figures monthly; planning must consider the full journey cost (medication, appointments, lifestyle shifts). Finance is personal: Conversations land when framed as “what you want to happen,” not product jargon—e.g., protecting a home or kids' education. AI as an assistant: Use AI to build budgets, compare prices, reduce subscription bloat, and personalize meal and movement plans during a health journey. Transparency first: Replace legalese with plain-English choices; surface true total costs and decision points up front. Terms & conditions 2.0: Future AI can summarize long T&Cs against your values, flagging risks before you click “I agree.” Skepticism is healthy: Scams are sophisticated; verify senders, avoid gift-card traps, and double-check “urgent” requests—even if they sound like family. Humor works: Light, respectful humor can unlock tough topics like mortality and life insurance without trivializing them. Design for consent: Financial products should make it obvious what you're opting into, with no hidden steps or dark patterns.   How to connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Edwin Endlich Company: Wysh Organization: National Alliance for Financial Literacy & Inclusion Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Can sharing personal stories at work really boost your well-being and productivity? In my latest solo episode, I explore the fascinating dynamics of self-disclosure in the workplace, drawing insights from recent research. Discover how sharing positive experiences can elevate emotional well-being, enhance work energy, and foster deeper connections with colleagues, while venting about negative experiences might have the opposite effect.We also examine the motivations behind why we share, including connecting, venting, or seeking advice, and how they impact our well-being. To close, we consider the intriguing interplay of mismatched intentions, where what we are looking for is not returned and how Craig also unpacks the intriguing concept of response mismatches, where the intention to connect can be misaligned and strategies we can use, as both a sharer and listener, to avoid this unfortunate outcome.Tune in as explore an issue that we all face and learn evidence-based practices that can deepen the quality of our communication and connection.What You'll Learn- How sharing positive experiences can boost your energy and strengthen connections with colleagues- The potential downsides of venting- The crucial role of intentions in self-disclosure; why we share impacts what we receive in return- The role of intention in improving the quality of our conversations- How to avoid misalignment between our intentions and our impactKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Group Dynamics, Positive Communication, Self-Disclosure, Emotional Well-being, Mental Health, Managing Professional Relationships, Lead with Intention, High-Quality Conversations, Team Success, The Power of Vulnerability, Emotional Regulation, Support, CEO SuccessRESOURCESDo you have a minute?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Rooney Niemi—entrepreneur, coach, husband, father, and survivor. Rooney's journey includes overcoming cancer, stroke, and more than 40 surgeries, experiences that shaped his philosophy of resilience and discipline. He shares how shifting from a “what-if” mindset to an “even-if” mindset changed everything, why discipline is the foundation of success, and how personal development defines the ceiling of our achievements. This powerful conversation is a masterclass in reinventing yourself, breaking free from victimhood, and learning to rise with gratitude and courage. About the Guest  : Rooney Niemi is the CEO of his own coaching company and COO of PTV Labs and DOP3 Energy. A former competitive bodybuilder, he now channels his energy into mentoring others in resilience, discipline, business, and fitness. His coaching is built on lived experience—facing near-death moments, battling illness, and rebuilding with structure and intention. Rooney believes true success comes only when you master yourself. Key Takeaways  : Resilience is built in adversity—Rooney turned illness and over 40 surgeries into blessings that taught him strength and perspective. Shifting from “what-if” thinking to an “even-if” mindset removes fear and excuses, creating room for courage. Discipline starts with honesty about what not to do—skipping workouts, chasing instant gratification, or lying to yourself. Routines become rituals when practiced consistently; structure brings freedom. Success is tied to personal growth—your achievements will never exceed your level of self-development. Gratitude is not just words; it requires results, action, and living with intention. Early mornings and consistent wins set the tone for a day of confidence and control. Feedback—positive or negative—should be listened to and acted on, not ignored. Discipline is not suffocating when tied to self-respect and pride in who you are becoming. Helping others begins with first proving to yourself that change is possible.   Connect with the Guest  : https://rj-training.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ronnie_niemi/ Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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.   How to connect with the guest   Social: @AvonleyLightstone  Website & free first chapter of Strength of Scars: https://avonleylightstone.com/ to stay connected and explore her journey further.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Dr. Evette Rose, internationally renowned trauma expert and best-selling author of Solving Pain Without Pills. The discussion challenges common assumptions about chronic pain, showing how unresolved emotions, learned pain responses, and suppressed anger can keep pain cycles active even after the original injury has healed. You'll hear practical ways to build safety in the nervous system, reframe anger, and reconnect with the body so real healing can begin. About the Guest  : Dr. Evette Rose is a trauma expert, international speaker, and best-selling author of Solving Pain Without Pills and Metaphysical Anatomy. She helps people address the emotional and subconscious roots of physical symptoms and chronic pain by rebuilding safety, compassion, and healthy boundaries in the body. Key Takeaways:   Pain can function as a stored memory of unresolved emotions, not only a sign of injury. Suppressed anger often sits behind chronic pain, especially where boundaries and safety were compromised. Pain becomes learned and reinforced by fear, posture, and context; breaking the loop requires new associations. Address core wounds of helplessness, powerlessness, injustice, lack of safety, and loss of control. The body releases pain more readily when it feels safe; regulate the nervous system before deep work. Meditation and standard therapy can manage symptoms, but resolution needs compassionate reconnection with the body. Changing your relationship with anger and fear reduces pain intensity and recurrence. Treat pain as communication, not malfunction; decode and address the message to regain freedom.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Stefanie Carlstedt—Human Design strategist and certified high-performance coach—to unpack how founders and teams can ditch one-size-fits-all playbooks and lead by design, not default. We cover what Human Design is (and isn't), how it differs from personality questionnaires, practical ways to reduce burnout by aligning work with energy type, and simple experiments you can try this week to validate fit—before overhauling your business. If you've been hustling hard yet feeling misaligned, this episode shows a clear path to clarity, confidence, and sustainable performance.   About the guest  :   Stefanie Carlstedt is a Human Design strategist for entrepreneurs and teams and a certified high-performance coach. After a decade of building a six-figure business that left her burned out, grief and reflection led her to Human Design. She now helps leaders align strategy with their unique energetic blueprint to create profitability without self-betrayal.   Key takeaways:   Burnout = misalignment, not workload. If tasks match your design, you can do more with less drag; if they don't, even “light” work drains you. Human Design vs. personality tests: Unlike self-reported quizzes shaped by conditioning, Human Design uses birth data to map decision-making and energetic patterns you can operationalize in business. Energy types, different rules: e.g., Projectors thrive guiding 2–4 focused hours, not grinding 9–5; forcing hustle creates bitterness and stalls growth. Decision authority is the lever: Build systems that let you say “no” to misfit tactics (viral hacks, trend chasing) and “yes” to strategies that feel clean and energizing. Team advantage: Leaders who know their own and their team's designs assign roles smarter, reduce conflict, and increase throughput because everyone works in their natural lane. Comfort zone vs. self-betrayal: Stretching in alignment leaves you energized; misaligned stretching leaves resentment and poor sleep—use your body's feedback. Start small this week: Pull your free chart, listen to a short primer, and try one aligned action (posting, prospecting, or scheduling) per your design—then measure energy and results. Identity shift: Knowing your design normalizes being “wired differently,” cutting comparison, increasing self-trust, and improving relationships at work and home.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://www.stefcarlstedt.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stefaniecarlstedt/?hl=en Free resource mentioned: “Free Human Design chart + 5-part audio”    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Waves by Healthy Mind By Avik™, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with David Hunter, founder of Global Phytoplankton Alliance, to uncover the untapped potential of marine phytoplankton for human health, brain function, and sustainability. David shares how a microscopic ocean plant, often invisible to the naked eye, may hold the foundation for human vitality—supporting cellular repair, energy, and even mental clarity. With nearly 20 years of experience, he discusses the surprising history of phytoplankton in nutrition, how it contributes to Earth's oxygen supply, and why it might reshape the way we think about supplements, immunity, and disease prevention. Whether you're curious about brain health, natural nutrition, or the future of sustainable wellness, this conversation offers insights you won't want to miss. About the Guest  : David Hunter is the founder of Global Phytoplankton Alliance. Nearly two decades ago, he witnessed phytoplankton transform a life when nothing else worked. Since then, he has dedicated himself to educating the world on how these microscopic organisms—responsible for much of Earth's oxygen—could be the missing link in human health, foundational nutrition, and planetary sustainability. Key Takeaways:   Medical Disclaimer  : The content in this episode and its accompanying show notes is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, nutrition, or supplementation—including marine phytoplankton or any nutraceuticals. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you heard in this episode. Statements discussed here (including any potential benefits of phytoplankton) have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), or any other regulatory authority. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results may vary. If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or are taking prescription or over-the-counter medications, consult your healthcare professional before using any supplement. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience any adverse reaction. In case of a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately. All opinions expressed by the guest are their own and do not represent the views of the host or Healthy Mind By Avik™.   Phytoplankton is the original source of nutrition, containing essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in their purest form. Marine phytoplankton provides 60–75% of the oxygen we breathe, making it critical for planetary and human health. Unlike synthetic supplements, phytoplankton nutrients bypass digestion and may feed directly into human cells. Stories of improved energy, mental clarity, reduced migraines, and other benefits highlight its potential role in foundational wellness. Growing phytoplankton on land in clean, filtered seawater avoids ocean depletion and provides a sustainable nutrient source. Its potential impact could disrupt the supplement industry and support a healthier, more resilient global population. Preventive health—focusing on nourishment before illness—can reduce dependency on reactionary treatments. The future of wellness may be less about "bigger solutions" and more about microscopic foundations.

Entrepreneurs don't lack ambition; they lack capacity under pressure. In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Roy Castleman—Wim Hof Method instructor, skydiver, and founder of the Elevated 360 approach—breaks down how breathwork, meditation, and targeted use of AI can free time, restore mental bandwidth, and sharpen decision-making. From surviving a drunk-driver collision in South Africa to nearly losing everything during COVID, Roy explains how he rebuilt by learning to breathe, regulate stress, and think with clarity. We cover parasympathetic vs. sympathetic states, good vs. bad stress, and how short, daily practices (10–15 minutes) create compounding advantage for founders.   About the guest  : Roy Castleman is a certified Wim Hof Method and pranayama instructor, freediver, and long-time entrepreneur who has built multiple seven-figure companies. He now coaches founders to reclaim energy and focus using breathwork, nervous-system training, and AI-powered operating systems.   Key takeaways: Capacity beats hustle: Your brain's bandwidth drops when energy is split between yesterday's regrets and tomorrow's worries; calm focus raises the quality of every business decision. Breath first, then scale: A 10–15 minute daily breathwork practice can clear emotional noise, improve focus, and prepare you to implement systems and strategy. Good vs. bad stress: Brief, chosen stressors (e.g., an ice bath) can train regulation; chronic, ruminative stress erodes creativity, relationships, and revenue. Creativity needs calm: You create solutions in a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, not while stuck in sympathetic (fight-or-flight). AI as leverage, not crutch: Use AI to (1) shortcut routine tasks, (2) act as a thought partner to structure ideas, and (3) expand possible solutions—while you retain human judgment. Founder standards: Roy only works with leaders willing to build a wellness routine; clarity and time come first, scaling second. From rock bottom to practice: Breathwork gave Roy just enough power to step back from a failing venture, accept worst-case outcomes, and rebuild. Personalize the routine: Ice, sauna, PT, meditation—pick what fits your life; the goal is consistent regulation, not a checklist.   How to connect with the guest   Website (Freedom Score survey): https://www.atpbos.com/ LinkedIn: Roy Castleman   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Braxton Nguyen, chiropractor and clinic owner of Access Health Centers (Portland & Beaverton), to break down why posture isn't cosmetic—it's structural and neurological. We cover the most common desk mistakes, simple daily corrections, how core strength and ergonomics protect your spine, and why “structure affects function” (breath, energy, cognition). Dr. Nguyen shares his sports-injury origin story, the risks of masking pain with meds, and evidence-based ways to correct alignment before degeneration sets in. Tight, actionable, and designed to help you feel and perform better—at work and in life. About the guest  : Dr. Braxton Nguyen is a chiropractor and Chiropractic BioPhysics® practitioner, founder of Access Health Centers in Portland and Beaverton. After a major knee injury in high school led to chronic pain, he pursued spine-focused, evidence-based care to correct structure, restore function, and help patients avoid unnecessary surgeries. Key takeaways:   Structure drives function. Posture isn't just looks—spinal alignment influences the nervous system, breathing capacity, energy, and mental focus. The silent culprit at desks: Slouching pulls the head forward, rounds shoulders, and collapses the low back—cascading stress from neck to lumbar spine. Ergonomics that actually work: Feet flat, back supported, screen at eye level, elbows near 90°, and a small lumbar support to keep the natural curve. Move every 30 minutes. Micro-breaks and posture resets prevent repetitive-strain accumulation (alternate sit/stand if possible). Train the core daily. Neutral pelvis, lower-ab activation, and gentle desk drills stabilize alignment without special gear. Mind–body cues: Use an “invisible string” visual—lift crown, stack ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips—to re-educate posture on the fly. Breath = posture. Opening the ribcage improves oxygenation and clarity; rounded posture restricts lung expansion. It's rarely “too late.” Early evaluation can halt/slow degeneration; structural corrective care (including imaging) personalizes rehab paths. Recovery story: A sports injury, persistent pain, and concern about reliance on opioids pushed Dr. Nguyen toward structural, root-cause solutions. Build with purpose. For health pros and founders: lead with mission and patient outcomes—people feel authenticity and follow through.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Becca Eve Young—former corporate strategist turned author and transformational coach—about navigating burnout, dismantling the “societal script,” and rebuilding a life anchored in intuition. Becca shares how losing the job, marriage, and familiar identity in quick succession became the opening to stillness, journaling, meditation, and a more truthful version of success. If you're numb from overachieving or stuck in roles that don't fit, this conversation offers a clear, grounded path: turn down the noise, listen in, take one aligned step, then another. SEO: burnout recovery, messy middle, reinvention, intuition, mindset, mental health, transformation, simplicity, purpose, Becca Eve Young, Healthy Mind Healthy Life. About the Guest  : Becca Eve Young is a storyteller and transformational coach. Her debut book, It's Gonna Get Messy, chronicles the honest, unpolished process of breaking from convention and choosing a soul-led life. Key Takeaways : Burnout isn't just “tired”; it's a collapse of self—numbing, going through motions, ignoring intuition. “Societal scripts” sell one path (title, house, image). Eight billion unique lives need eight billion scripts. Reinvention isn't a montage; it's quiet repetition: sit in silence, journal, meditate, notice what truly feels right, and say no without guilt. Small acts of alignment, done daily, loosen the hold of “shoulds” and rebuild inner authority. Turning off external programming (feeds, media, expectations) amplifies your inner signal. Loss (career, relationship, plans) can crack you open; healing isn't “back to before,” it's becoming more whole. Success can be far simpler than portrayed—less performance, more presence. Create a personal script: choose structure that supports your truth instead of adopting one that distorts it. Community response often respects authenticity over accolades; your choice to live honestly gives others permission to do the same. Practical starting points: schedule 10–15 minutes of silence daily, capture one honest page in a journal, identify one “obligation yes” to replace with a values-based no this week.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Richard Tierney, founder of Tierney Therapy and creator of Trauma Recovery Anonymous, about reframing childhood trauma and releasing the grip of painful memories in the present. Richard outlines a cause-and-effect view of trauma, a focused “give the past back” process, and a 12-step framework to unlearn survival behaviors. The conversation is direct, challenges common assumptions about lifelong treatment models, and offers pragmatic language people can use to separate their current identity from earlier experiences—without minimizing the reality of what happened. This summary is optimized for search across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. About the Guest  : Richard Tierney is a trauma recovery coach and author of How to Live Stress and Anxiety-Free 24 Hours a Day. His work centers on teaching families to interpret emotions as survival signals and to practice simple, repeatable actions that restore safety, agency, and spiritual alignment Key Takeaways :   Trauma expresses as effects (anxiety, flashbacks, shutdown), but healing requires addressing the cause—not only chasing symptoms. Separating present identity from past experiences can reduce shame and hopelessness; you are not the same person who endured the event. A structured process to “return” the weight of the past to your younger self can create a felt sense of relief and closure. Unlearning survival behaviors is a skill set: boundaries, regulation, safe relationships, and daily practices that reinforce safety now. Hope is practical: short, repeatable steps done consistently (journaling, mentoring/sponsorship, peer groups) compound change. Language matters: shifting from “I am broken” to “I carried what I didn't need to” reframes agency and next actions. Connection heals: finding a values-aligned “tribe” reduces isolation and supports behavior change. Spiritual or values-based practices can help with meaning-making; choose approaches that respect your beliefs and clinical guidance. If you use or stop medications, do so only with licensed medical supervision; abrupt changes can be dangerous. For children and teens, developmentally appropriate support and safe caregivers are critical; avoid labeling feelings as pathology without professional assessment.   Medical Disclaimer: The content in this episode is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Technology should serve us—not run us. In this direct, no-fluff conversation on Healthy Minds, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Colin Corby (TEDx speaker, leadership well-being and digital detox coach) about reclaiming attention in an always-online world. We unpack how persuasive design shapes identity, why AI-assisted convenience can erode core skills, and how to build realistic off-screen habits without quitting your job or your phone. If you're ready to reduce screen time, think clearly, sleep better, and perform like a “business athlete,” this episode gives you practical, repeatable steps you can start today.   About the guest  :   Colin Corby is a leadership well-being and digital detox coach, TEDx speaker, and creator of Digital Detox Coach. With 30+ years in technology leadership and the mindset of a four-time Ironman triathlete, he helps people and organizations set healthy, sustainable boundaries with tech.   Key takeaways: Identity is shaped by experience: When most experiences are online, platforms co-shape who we become; curating ourselves and being curated by algorithms. Why this era is different: Smartphones travel with us, collect granular behavior and location data, and—paired with AI—can outsource core skills if unchecked. Digital detox = balance, not escape: Think “get out of the sweet shop” briefly and often—micro-breaks (20 seconds), 10–15 minute offline blocks, device-free evenings/weekends. Environment beats willpower: Change rooms, remove device triggers, set time barriers (no phone before morning routine, cutoff at night), and solve the alarm-clock problem. Habit mechanics: Interrupt old loops and build new ones; expect ~66 days on average for a habit to stick—track, iterate, and be kind to yourself when you slip. Business-athlete mindset: Sleep, nutrition, coaching, and deliberate practice apply to digital well-being just like endurance training. “Just One Thing” challenge: Each time you pick up your phone, do only one pre-planned task, then wait 5–10 minutes—powerful for breaking autopilot app-hopping. Future-proof your brain: Don't outsource all thinking to tools; keep building knowledge and critical-thinking muscles to stay adaptable and valuable at work. Make real life rewarding: Plan enjoyable offline activities (meals, movement, hobbies) so you're not “detoxing into boredom.”   Connect with the guest   Explore Colin's resources, videos, and TEDx talk via the Digital Detox Coach website and YouTube channel.

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.

Born during the pandemic, it's become a sanctuary for healing, growth, and mindful living.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patrick van der Burght, persuasion expert and founding member of the Cialdini Institute, to explore the science of ethical influence. From workplace negotiations to everyday decision-making, persuasion plays a vital role in our lives—but it doesn't have to rely on manipulation. Patrick shares practical insights on the 7 universal principles of persuasion, how to spot when influence crosses into unethical territory, and why understanding human decision-making is crucial in today's distraction-filled world. This conversation offers listeners a clear framework to use persuasion responsibly while reducing stress, building stronger relationships, and creating long-term success. About the Guest  : Patrick van der Burght is an international keynote speaker, trainer, and persuasion strategist. As a business partner of Dr. Robert Cialdini—the world-renowned author of Influence—Patrick has been teaching ethical persuasion since 2000. He is the author of How to Hear YES More Often and leads workshops and programs worldwide that help professionals communicate with integrity, avoid manipulative tactics, and leverage science-backed persuasion for lasting impact. Key Takeaways:   Persuasion can be used ethically or unethically—science shows unethical tactics deliver only short-term wins but damage trust long-term. The three ethical filter questions: Are you telling the truth? Is the information naturally there (not exaggerated)? Is the request wise for both sides? Seven principles of persuasion—Reciprocity, Liking, Unity, Social Proof, Authority, Consistency, and Scarcity—work across all cultures and contexts. Scarcity is the most misused principle online; knowing how it works protects us from manipulation. Decision-making is mostly subconscious: 95% of decisions are made by System 1 (shortcuts), not System 2 (logic). This makes persuasion science more relevant than ever. Ethical persuasion creates stronger relationships, lowers stress, and builds trust in business and personal life. Products and ideas don't always “speak for themselves.” Without effective communication, uncertainty leads people to decide not to decide.

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.   Connect with the guest   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/headway.mental.health/ Email: joshua@headwaymentalhealth.com DM keyword: 7-DAY (all caps) on Instagram to receive Joshua's 7-day negative-thinking tool.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Reginald Martin, creator of Kametaphysics, to unpack how “inherited code”—religion, culture, family scripts—quietly shapes our choices long after we think we've moved on. Reginald introduces Paradoxical Heka, a practical, Kemetic-inspired method using breath, voice, and ritual phrasing to hold two truths at once (e.g., “Even though fear is here, I am sustained”) until a calmer third state emerges. We cover identity after deconstruction, spotting “word-salad spirituality,” and how to test spiritual tools for real-world usefulness. Clear, direct, and immediately applicable for high performers, parents, therapists, and coaches.     About the guest  : Reginald Martin is the spiritual architect behind Kametaphysics, a sovereignty-first framework reconnecting modern coaching/therapy to ancient symbolic roots. His protocol, Paradoxical Heka, helps transmute guilt, shame, fear, and self-doubt while affirming the authentic self. He publishes on Substack at reginaldmartin.substack.com.   Key takeaways: Inherited code persists: you can exit a system yet still follow its rules; name the pattern before the story to regain leverage. Paradox > contradiction: hold “this and that” (fear and support) rather than fighting your “shadow.” 90-second practice: pair breath and a paradox phrase; repeat ~9 times to entrain a calmer nervous system state. Evidence of integration: look for a felt peace, goosebumps/energy shifts, and cleaner choices in tough moments. Ditch vague advice: “just surrender” isn't helpful without a concrete method—test ideas for practicality. Leaders & parents: swap “I'm broken/unworthy” for “I'm out of alignment,” then realign with simple, repeatable steps. Symbolism matters: the caduceus metaphor reflects reconciling inner polarities rather than waging inner war. Apply this week: run Hecca before a difficult call or boundary and note shifts in tone, tension, and outcomes.   Connect with the guest   Substack: https://reginaldmartin.substack.com/ Free resource: 7-point checklist to spot “woo-woo” claims (available on his Substack)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Miscommunication isn't fate—it's fixable. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, marriage counselor Raffi Bilek, author of The Couples Communication Handbook, breaks down why most fights spiral (fight-or-flight, solving too soon) and how to replace them with a clear, repeatable process. We cover the two-conversation framework (explore first, solve second), listening that lands (reflect, don't rebut), using humor without harm, and building a reliable repair system so conflict doesn't erode the relationship. Direct, practical, and immediately usable for couples, therapists, and anyone who wants fewer blowups and more connection.   About the guest  :   Raffi Bilek is a marriage counselor and author of The Couples Communication Handbook: The Skills You Never Learned for the Marriage You Always Wanted. He helps couples move from reactivity to repair with simple, teachable skills grounded in real-life practice.   Key takeaways  : Don't fix in the fire: pause when activated; come back when you're regulated. Run two conversations: first explore the problem (what's under it—respect, autonomy, feeling unseen); then solve it. Listening ≠ agreement: reflect back what you heard; postpone rebuttal and solutions. Make safety explicit: agree on no judgment / no interruptions / no instant fixes while exploring. Humor connects only when it's not at your partner's expense; don't use jokes to deflect hard truths. Expect work: great relationships aren't conflict-free; they have a reliable repair system. Name emotions directly; increase self-awareness (introspection, therapy, journaling) so your partner can understand you. If one partner won't invest, depth stalls—decide to accept the status quo, re-contract the relationship, or seek change together. Household fights are usually symbols; get curious about the meaning, not just the dishes. Small weekly practice: one explore-only talk (15–20 min); solutions scheduled later.   Connect with the guest   Website (book + contact): https://www.thecommunicationbook.com/Download first two chapters free; contact Raffi for questions or consults.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore how theater can be both mirror and hammer—reflecting our times while shaping them. Playwright–director Karen Malpede discusses her forthcoming memoir Last Radiance: Radical Lives, Bright Deaths (out in October), caregiving for her late husband and collaborator George Bartenieff, and why nonviolent traditions (Gandhi, MLK) still matter. We unpack ecofeminism, Greek tragedy, and the irreplaceable power of live performance—where audiences and actors literally “breathe together.” If you care about art, mortality, and meaning, this conversation is a clear, unsentimental guide to showing up with courage.   About the guest : Karen Malpede is an award-winning playwright, director, essayist, and co-founder of Theater Three Collaborative. Her body of work spans ecofeminist and socially engaged theater created with the late OBIE-winning actor George Bartenieff. Her memoir, Last Radiance: Radical Lives, Bright Deaths, weaves art, caregiving, and conscious dying.   Key takeaways: Theater's unique power: Live performance remains a ritual space where audience and actors “breathe together,” creating empathy and change that screens can't replicate. Art as witness and change: Effective art reflects its time and challenges us toward nonviolent action and possibility. Memoir vs. stagecraft: Writing plays channels many voices; memoir demanded Karen's direct voice while honoring others, including George's. Love and mourning are linked: We mourn because we love; honest art helps us name grief through language (and music). Conscious dying in community: Exemplary deaths—present, creative, surrounded by loved ones—can teach us how to live and how to be with the dying. Roots of activism: Early exposure to injustice and the influence of Irish and Greek theater shaped Karen's belief in art that builds identity, dignity, and courage. Relevance in a digital age: There's room for film and podcasts, but theater's shared breath and presence give it a singular, enduring role. Practical courage: Bearing witness is prerequisite to change; intimacy on the page and stage opens readers and audiences to their own stories.   How to connect with the guest  : Website: https://www.theaterthreecollaborative.org/karen-malpede-page Facebook   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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. .

On this Healthy Waves episode, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Dr. Dean Howell (joined by his partner, Rebecca) about how infections, food choices, toxins, and cranial structure may influence mental clarity, mood, and day-to-day energy. We unpack the idea of “root-cause” care—stabilizing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, supporting detox pathways, and improving fluid dynamics in the head and neck—while keeping the conversation grounded in practical lifestyle moves listeners can evaluate with their clinicians. The discussion is direct, sometimes controversial, and focused on thinking clearly, feeling calmer, and building a sustainable plan rather than quick fixes. About the Guest  : Dr. Dean Howell is the developer of NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR). Over three decades, he has worked with a wide range of clients—from chronic pain sufferers to elite performers—aiming to relieve pressure patterns, improve posture, and optimize blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow to support overall function. Key Takeaways: Many people report “brain fog” and mood swings; the conversation highlights nutrition, sleep, stress load, infections, and environmental exposures as overlapping drivers to assess with a qualified professional. Blood-sugar stability matters: reducing refined carbs and spacing carbohydrate intake may help avoid sharp insulin spikes and the inflammatory swings that can follow. Protein and fats (including dairy/eggs for vegetarians, or animal proteins for omnivores) were discussed as tools for satiety and steadier energy; listeners should individualize with their health providers. Detox capacity is finite; supporting liver/kidney health (hydration, fiber where appropriate, movement, and clinician-guided protocols) is presented as a prerequisite before any intensive “cleanse.” Structural inputs (jaw/cranial alignment, posture, breathing mechanics) can influence comfort, sleep quality, and perceived clarity; address with licensed, evidence-based practitioners. Behavior change is easier when you start small: track meals, identify trigger foods, and monitor how you feel 1–3 hours after eating. Mental health is multifactorial; counseling, medical care, movement, community, and nervous-system regulation can all be part of a responsible plan. Safety first: avoid self-prescribing medications or extreme protocols; partner with your clinician for testing, diagnosis, and treatment choices.

What if your mind needed feng shui as much as your home? In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Patrick Francey—entrepreneur, coach, and host of The Everyday Millionaire—breaks down Mind Shui, a practical framework for clearing mental clutter, collapsing hidden beliefs (“not enough,” “not worthy”), and aligning values so execution becomes inevitable. We dig into why clarity = velocity, how misaligned values stall income and impact, and why inner work isn't fluff—it's the operating system for results, relationships, and resilience. If you've got strategy but still feel stuck, this episode gives you a clean, repeatable way to create flow in your thinking, your business, and your life. Guest links are below.   About the guest  : Patrick Francey is a leading Canadian voice in investing and entrepreneurship, longtime CEO of the Real Estate Investment Network, and host of The Everyday Millionaire. He and his wife, Stephanie (an Olympic-class mental performance coach), co-created Mind Shui to help leaders dismantle mental clutter and act with clarity.   Key takeaways : Mind Shui ≠ mindset clichés: It's a structured way to remove cognitive “furniture” blocking flow—old stories, assumptions, and automatic reactions that slow execution. Clarity drives speed: “Clarity = velocity.” When thinking is decluttered, prioritization and action accelerate without extra willpower or hacks. Collapse hidden beliefs: Two common blockers—“I'm not enough” and “I'm not worthy”—surface across all levels, from new founders to multimillionaires. Naming → examining → releasing. Values must align with goals: If money isn't a true value, you'll unconsciously avoid building it—even while claiming you want financial growth. Align money to family, health, and contribution. Live your values, not inherited ones: Many chase degrees/careers scripted by others. Integrity is keeping promises to yourself; misalignment breeds friction and fatigue. Inner work isn't a distraction: It improves confidence, communication, and relationships—outcomes that compound business results rather than compete with them. Normalize “what's next” after wins: Prepare for the “other side of the medal.” Goals are milestones; identity and purpose sustain momentum. Language reveals belief systems: Your words expose your BS (belief systems). Curiosity plus coaching helps you spot and clear them faster.   Connect with the guest   Website & newsletter: https://theeverydaymillionaire.ca/ Podcast: The Everyday Millionaire Mind Shui resources: via TEDM.ca   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Bryan Quoc Le—food scientist, consultant, entrepreneur, and documentary creator—to explore the intersection of adult ADHD, resilience, and the evolving future of food consulting. Bryan shares his journey from being diagnosed with ADHD in his 30s to reframing it as a strength that fuels creativity, adaptability, and entrepreneurial success. From building Mendocino Food Consulting to honoring his mother's legacy through rituals, Bryan's story reveals how systems of growth are deeply tied to both science and humanity. This conversation dives into mental health, resilience, the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and the evolving science of food innovation. Listeners will walk away with practical insights on reframing challenges, trusting intuition, and designing life systems that support both success and well-being. About the Guest  : Dr. Bryan Quoc Le is a food scientist, consultant, and founder of Mendocino Food Consulting, a firm that supports startups and global food and beverage brands. He holds multiple patents, has walked across America, and is producing a documentary on flavor. Diagnosed with adult ADHD, Bryan has built unique systems of productivity and resilience, transforming challenges into pathways of growth. His work lives at the intersection of science, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Key Takeaways  : ADHD can become a source of strength when reframed as a system for creativity and adaptability. Productivity improves when energy flows are honored instead of forcing strict schedules. Entrepreneurship with ADHD requires strong boundaries, intuition, and the willingness to cut loose from unaligned projects or clients. Rock-bottom moments can spark resilience by removing the fear of failure and creating space for outrageous but achievable goals. Grief and loss can become guiding forces, shaping purpose and fueling momentum to honor loved ones' legacies. Rituals, such as creating shrines or daily reflections, provide grounding and carry forward wisdom into both life and business. The future of food consulting blends science, creativity, and intuition—revealing new possibilities in innovation and flavor.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Lindsay Stadel  —wife, mom, entrepreneur, and award-winning author—who speaks plainly about depression, alcohol misuse, suicide ideation, and the work of recovery. Lindsay recounts the night everything changed, the decision to seek therapy, tapering off medication under care, and how she now runs four businesses while protecting her mental health. This episode is a direct, stigma-breaking conversation about warning signs, creating safe dialogue, and practical coping mechanisms. If you or someone you love is struggling, this talk models how to ask better questions and get help—without glamorizing harm.   About the Guest  : Lindsay Stadel   is an entrepreneur (four businesses, 13+ employees), award-winning author, and mental-health advocate. After a suicide attempt and years of therapy, she uses lived experience to help others recognize warning signs, seek support, and rebuild with honest conversations and daily choices.   Key Takeaways : Suicide ideation often hides behind outward success; watch for contradictions between public image and private behavior. Concrete warning signs can include giving away possessions, social withdrawal, and increased alcohol consumption. Naming suicide directly does not “plant ideas”; silence increases risk—ask specific, compassionate questions about mental state. “What if = fear; Even if = faith”: reframe catastrophic thinking into resilient problem-solving. Recovery is incremental: therapy, the right medication (when needed), tapering under care, and daily coping practices. Family transparency builds early detection; agree on signs to watch for and how to bring them up. Choose your circle: surround yourself with people who support healthy routines and accountability. Success does not erase pain; it requires boundaries, routines, and honest self-check-ins to stay well.   If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about suicide, please know you are not alone.In the U.S., dial or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support, available 24/7.    If you're outside the U.S., please look up the local hotlines in your country or visit https://findahelpline.com/ for international crisis resources.     Connect with the Guest   Website: https://lindsaystadel.com/ Facebook: Search “Lindsay Stadel   Book: https://www.borntorisk.com/ She's active on major platforms under her name.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life conversation, M&A specialist turned novelist Buddy Howard breaks down how writing became a therapeutic practice during a family crisis and later evolved into his debut thriller, The Burden of Evidence. We cover practical creative habits (daily 300-word targets, deadline accountability), mindset tools for finishing long projects, and how business acuity sharpens plot structure, stakes, and character decisions. Buddy also shares the core moral dilemma at the heart of his book—conscience vs. consequence—and the reframes that helped him keep going when motivation dipped. If you're an entrepreneur, leader, or creator seeking clear, actionable steps to write, heal, and ship your work, this episode delivers direct, no-fluff guidance you can apply today. About the guest: Buddy Howard is a mergers & acquisitions specialist and debut novelist. His thriller The Burden of Evidence explores how far a person might go when systems fail, using fiction to process hard truths and build resilience. More at buddyhoward.com. Writing can be therapy: documenting difficult experiences clarified patterns, reduced rumination, and strengthened perspective without requiring public disclosure. Start small, finish strong: a consistent 300-word morning target built momentum; many days expanded naturally once the threshold was met. Ship with deadlines: external accountability (a concrete date and someone to enforce it) beats perfectionism and accelerates publishing. Driving in silence aids creativity: intentional, distraction-free time surfaced plot twists and solved story problems. Business lessons translate to story craft: understanding power dynamics (who can walk away) and risk tradeoffs creates credible conflict and stakes. Conscience vs. consequence: great stories—and real decisions—live where moral clarity collides with personal cost. Truth requires less energy than a lie: letting truth “surface” can guide both character arcs and life choices. Grieving is a privilege: having time and space to grieve speeds recovery; many people do not have that latitude. Build character relationships readers care about: emotional investment turns pages and prompts reflection after the last chapter. Everyone has a story: writing yours—private or public—can unlock meaning and resilience.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Catherine Crestani—intuitive healer, leadership coach, podcaster, and author of Pillars for Life. Catherine shares how walking away from two six-figure businesses led to a deeper definition of success rooted in peace, integrity, and self-leadership. We unpack spiritual ethics in real life (discernment, boundaries, responsibility), the cost of misalignment (burnout, anxiety, insomnia), and how to rebuild a career and family life around authentic values. We also explore the growing bridge between spirituality and science, practical ways to listen to your body's wisdom, and the everyday courage required to change—even when it threatens income, relationships, or reputation. Clear, grounded, and immediately useful for leaders, coaches, healers, and high achievers seeking sustainable, values-aligned success.   About the guest  : Catherine Crestani is an intuitive healer, leadership coach, international speaker, and host of the Willow Healing Matters podcast. Author of Pillars for Life: A Guide to Spiritual Ethics and Practice for Lightworkers, Healers, Psychics, Mediums, Shamans, Energy Workers, and All Souls Called to Shine Their Light, Catherine blends energy medicine with practical leadership tools to help people reclaim their voice, worth, and authentic path.   Key takeaways: Alignment beats achievement: Traditional markers (title, revenue, status) won't feel like success if your work conflicts with your values. Your body tells the truth: Recurring symptoms (fatigue, anxiety, numbness) can signal misalignment—slow down, listen, adjust. Discernment is ethical practice: Take what resonates, leave the rest; real guides encourage independence, not dependence. Two kinds of courage: Accidental (forced by crisis) and intentional (chosen). Practice small, brave actions daily to build the muscle. Choose yourself, then receive: When Catherine set a clear exit date, unexpected opportunities appeared—ask, allow, receive. Spiritual ethics are daily habits: Honesty, boundaries, responsibility, and transparency in business, family, and client work. Simple practices win: Short, consistent meditation and basic tools (muscle testing, heart check-ins) can be more effective than lengthy rituals. Head last, heart first: Lead with heart wisdom, confirm with gut safety, then consult the mind for execution. Red flags in “guru culture”: If a practitioner resists questions or creates dependency, walk away. Success redefined: Peace becomes the metric; work, family, and health align around it.   How to connect with Catherine   Website: Willow Healing MattersPodcast: Willow Healing MattersInstagram: @catherinecrestani Offer: Free 30-minute coaching session (genuinely non-sales; designed to help you clarify your next step)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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.   Connect with the guest  : Website & Community: https://wholegrainwisdom.com/Programs: Founders-only retreats, newsletter, and podcast (details on the site)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Shanea Clancy—international speaker, forensic nurse, business strategist, and #1 international bestselling author—to break down what it really takes to shift from a fixed mindset to a fearless, outcomes-driven culture. This direct, practical conversation covers limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, burnout signals at the top, people-first leadership, measurable ROI from mindset work (retention, productivity, onboarding costs), and how to turn trauma into transformation without the fluff. If you lead a team—or you're rebuilding your own resilience—this episode gives you clear steps to diagnose hidden costs, reset boundaries, and build momentum that compounds across life and work.   About the guest  :   Dr. Shanea Clancy has addressed audiences of 65,000+, consulted for Fortune 500 companies, and shared stages with leaders like Jack Canfield and Jamie Kern Lima. Her approach integrates executive coaching, organizational consulting, and lived experience—translating mindset into concrete performance indicators across quality, safety, and culture.   Key takeaways  : Fixed mindset shows up as limits: persistent limiting beliefs, imposter syndrome, and unwillingness to consider other viewpoints—stalling innovation and trust. People > paperwork: SOPs and dashboards matter, but people systems determine performance. Neglect them and you pay in disengagement, sick days, and higher premiums. Hidden costs are measurable: watch AES scores, behavior-response metrics, retention, onboarding costs, and absenteeism to quantify culture gaps and ROI of leadership work. Burnout is silent and fast: leaders who try to “do it all” erode decision quality. Proactive boundary-setting, delegation, and recovery rituals reduce risk. Trauma → transformation is a process: anchor to purpose, tolerate uncertainty, and make micro-shifts; the goal is progress with fear—not the absence of it. Mindset isn't fluff: when leaders model clarity and recognition, teams align to goals, productivity rises, and attrition falls—strategy + mindset is the multiplier. Practical moves this week: run a quick people-health audit (listening cadence, recognition, recovery time), define top 3 KPIs per role, and set one non-negotiable boundary.   Connect with the guest   Connect with the Guest:Website: Dr. Shanea Clancy's WebsiteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shaneaclancyLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanea-clancyAlso follow @clancyconsulting on social media.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM - Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

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.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://honorboundfit.com/ Facebook: Rich Brown | Honorbound Fit Event: Guidon 22 — 22-mile ruck, 22 lbs, November 22, Fredericksburg, VA (veteran suicide prevention)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Albert Bramante—veteran talent agent, PhD in psychology, certified hypnotist, and NLP practitioner—to break down how the story you tell yourself shapes mental health and performance. From limiting beliefs and the inner critic to practical mindset tools like reframing, hypnosis, and NLP, Albert explains how identity shifts fuel results for actors, CEOs, and high achievers alike. You'll learn the difference between healthy challenge (eustress) and toxic stress, how to spot early warning signs, and how to build daily systems that drive sustainable success without burnout. Direct, actionable, and grounded—this conversation helps you rewrite your inner narrative so you can perform with authenticity and balance. About the guest  : Dr. Albert Bramante is a long-time talent agent with 20+ years in TV, film, and theater. He also holds a PhD in psychology, is a certified hypnotist, and an NLP practitioner. He helps actors and high-performing professionals dismantle self-sabotage, shift identity, and perform with confidence. Key takeaways: Your self-story drives outcomes: Internal narratives formed in childhood (criticism vs. celebration) shape beliefs, identity, and mental health. Identity shift > willpower: Recast yourself as a survivor, not a victim to unlock resilient behavior and better performance. Reframing works: Tools from hypnosis/NLP help reframe events, reduce the inner critic, and enable authentic delivery in high-stakes moments (e.g., auditions, boardrooms). Eustress vs. distress:Eustress (a focused, time-bound arousal) boosts performance; toxic stress lingers and disrupts sleep, breathing, and eating patterns. Spot stress early: Persistent hypervigilance, irregular sleep, and appetite shifts are cautions that coping systems need attention. Action builds confidence: Consistent, small steps with feedback loops (“fail forward”) develop durable competence and calm. Balance prevents burnout: Maintain outside interests and supportive routines to counter high-judgment environments. Mind–body is one system: Mental stress elevates cortisol, impacting the body; physical and mental practices (mindfulness, movement, breathwork) should work together. Translate strengths across domains: Map your existing professional gravitas to new performance contexts to accelerate wins. Make it practical: Label emotions, reframe limits, set growth-mindset systems, and review results weekly.

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?

Concussions don't always show up on scans—but they can reshape mood, sleep, focus, and quality of life. In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Dr. Ayla Wolf—acupuncturist, funct/ional neurology practitioner, and author of The Concussion Breakthrough—explains why many post-concussion symptoms are missed, how autonomic nervous system dysregulation drives anxiety, and why brain inflammation is a crucial, often misunderstood piece. We cover practical, non-pharmaceutical strategies (vision–vestibular rehab, targeted drills, acupuncture, clean nutrition, toxin reduction) and how to track progress with clear, objective markers. If you or someone you love has “mystery” brain fog, dizziness, or mood shifts after a head impact, this episode is a grounded roadmap to smarter recovery. Guest: Dr. Ayla Wolf About the Guest  : Dr. Ayla Wolf is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, founder of Healing Response: Acupuncture & Functional Neurology, host of Life After Impact: The Concussion Recovery Podcast, and author of the 600-page guide The Concussion Breakthrough: Discover the Missing Pieces to Recovery. She blends science and integrative care to help patients resolve complex, lingering effects of head injury. Key Takeaways: Concussions are often invisible injuries. Many never receive a formal diagnosis; symptoms like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and sleep issues may surface months later. Standard scans can miss functional problems. ER CTs rule out bleeds and fractures but don't diagnose concussion or dysautonomia. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation is central. Imbalances in sympathetic/parasympathetic tone can show up as racing heart, sweating, overwhelm, and heightened stress reactivity. Brain inflammation is misunderstood. It can be regional (not “whole brain”), influenced by diet, toxins, and lifestyle; medicine lacks a single “blockbuster” drug solution. Assessment must be individualized. No one-size protocol—patients present with different blends of neck/vestibular/ocular/cognitive issues. Use objective markers to track progress. Balance tests, eye-movement integrity, and positional challenges help verify whether therapies are working. Therapy can be creative and multimodal. Vision–vestibular drills, targeted movement, cervical care, and acupuncture can modulate blood flow, immune activity, and attention networks. Lifestyle matters. Whole foods, clean water, toxin reduction, and sleep hygiene lower neuroinflammatory load and support recovery. Multiple concussions compound risk. Early “compensations” can fail after later hits, worsening symptoms and extending recovery timelines. Validation is therapeutic. Clear exams plus education help patients feel believed—and engaged—in their healing plan.

On Healthy Waves with host Avik Chakraborty, board-certified neurologist and Navy veteran Dr. Ryan Williamson breaks down what actually extends lifespan and healthspan. He rejects hype and quick fixes, and shows how four evidence-backed pillars—sleep quality, daily movement, smart nutrition, and effective stress management—protect the brain, sharpen cognition, and reduce all-cause mortality. We also cover wearable tracking (e.g., sleep), circadian rhythm and morning light, VO₂ max and strength training, and how purpose and meaning anchor sustainable habits. If you want a practical, science-first roadmap to longevity and cognitive performance, this conversation is for you. About the Guest  : Ryan Williamson, MD is a board-certified neurologist, proud Navy veteran, and founder of Transcend Health. His mission: help people optimize cognitive performance, prevent chronic disease, and live lives of meaning and impact. He is the author of The Incredible Brain. Key Takeaways : Longevity is mostly behavioral: 70–90% of outcomes relate to daily choices across sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress. Movement first. Morning light + a short walk sets circadian rhythm, boosts daytime alertness, and supports deeper sleep at night. Measure sleep, don't guess. Wearables (e.g., a ring tracker) can reveal how meals, alcohol, and routines change deep sleep, HR, and HRV. Strength + cardio both matter. VO₂-max work and resistance training independently correlate with lower all-cause mortality and better brain health. Nutrition is foundational. Emphasize fiber and healthy fats; avoid overcomplication and product-driven advice lacking evidence. Stress skills are non-negotiable. Simple, repeatable practices (breath, boundaries, recovery windows) reduce cognitive load and inflammation. Purpose drives consistency. Clarifying meaning makes habit adherence easier than chasing biohacks. Beware misinformation. Filter sources by credentials, scientific grounding, and conflicts of interest before acting.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Texas luxury real estate leader Kirstine Openshaw about what actually moves deals in an oversaturated market. Kirstine strips away the hype—pretty brochures and ad spend don't close; trust, community touchpoints, and pain-point clarity do. She unpacks how living through her sons' congenital heart defect (CHD) journeys reshaped her mindset, why detachment from outcomes accelerates growth, and how to read buyer/seller psychology without manipulation. This is a grounded playbook for agents and founders who want referral-driven businesses, sharper messaging, and resilience when markets turn.   About the Guest  : Kirstine Openshaw is consistently ranked among the top performers in Texas real estate and is an ICON Agent with eXp Realty. A UK-to-Texas transplant, she built a largely referral-based business from zero local sphere. She's also a committed CHD advocate and a self-described “heart-warrior mom.”   Key Takeaways: Relationships beat tactics: Tech, AI, and glossy marketing matter after you earn trust through real community contact. Lead with proximity: Host neighborhood events—garage sales, ice-cream trucks, open houses—to create face-to-face touchpoints that warm any future ads. Pain points drive action: Most buyers/sellers move from discomfort, not dreams; craft offers and messages that solve the present problem first. Mindset is operational, not fluffy: Detach from rigid outcomes; it frees options and surfaces better-fit opportunities. Read the room: Share personal stories after rapport; oversharing too early can trigger doubts about your availability. Market cycles require different skills: In frenzy (low rates), coach clients past zero-sum thinking; in slowdowns, uncover true motivations and affordability limits. Build from belief: Clarify why clients should choose you, then map their top concerns and your specific solutions before buying ads. Process for message-market fit: Whiteboard ICP pain points → your interventions → delivery channel (events, video, door-knocking, social). Focus on flexibility: Goals can and should evolve as your vantage point changes. Play the long game: Earn repeat and referral business to reduce ad spend and stabilize revenue.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.openshawrealtygroup.com/kirstine-openshaw--28dac Social: Find Kirstine Openshaw on major platforms by name (links also on her website).   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana digs into a clear, step-by-step approach to building a cash-flowing U.S. real estate portfolio with only ~20% down. Guest Axel Meierhoefer breaks down mindset, savings habits (pay yourself first), and his Out-of-State Turnkey (OSTK) method—why single-family rentals in affordable markets can compound steadily through leverage, rent, amortization, and tax benefits. We also address risk management: cash-flow screens, reserves, tenant stability, and long-term horizons so wealth grows without spiking anxiety. Direct, practical, and designed for listeners who want financial independence without gambling.   About the Guest  : Axel Meierhoefer is a real-estate mentor and founder of Ideal Wealth Grower. After a career in the Air Force and consulting, he built a seven-figure rental portfolio and now mentors investors on turnkey, out-of-state single-family strategies that emphasize cash flow, sensible leverage, and systemized operations.   Key Takeaways: Pay yourself first: auto-allocate 10–15% of income into a separate investing account so the down payment fund steadily compounds. Small market advantage: target affordable, landlord-friendly U.S. metros where the price-to-rent ratio supports positive cash flow. Single-family stability: SFR tenants often stay longer than small multis, lowering turnover costs and stress. 20% down ≠ high risk when screened well: buy cash-flow positive properties after mortgage, taxes, insurance, management, and maintenance. Reserves are non-negotiable: bank monthly cash flow to cover vacancy and CapEx, so risk decreases over time. Leverage math (example): $20k down on a $100k home + 5% appreciation ≈ $5k equity gain (25% on cash invested) before amortization and tax benefits. Mindset > mechanics: set a target (e.g., $20–30k), track monthly progress, and keep the focus on long-term investing, not short-term speculation. Entry ladder if 20% is tough: consider REITs or tokenized real estate to begin learning while saving toward direct ownership.   Connect with the Guest   Website: idealwealthgrower.com Complimentary Discovery Call: Use the “Discovery Call” button on the top-right of the site to discuss goals and the mentoring process.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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.

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.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jerry Henderson—Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and host of the Permission to Love podcast—to unpack how shame quietly fuels burnout, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. Jerry shares the inner work that moved him from achievement-as-proof to achievement-as-expression, and explains why self-acceptance increases sustainable performance without the self-punishment loop. If you lead, build, or strive—and feel like it never feels like “enough”—this conversation gives you a practical path to healthy high achievement rooted in identity, self-compassion, and aligned ambition. About the guest  : Jerry Henderson is a Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and creator of the Personal Mastery Framework. He's raised $1B+ in philanthropy and blends psychology, coaching, and trauma-informed practices to help high achievers transform shame-driven success into fulfillment, resilience, and impact. He hosts the Permission to Love podcast. Key takeaways: Shame vs. guilt: Guilt = “I did something wrong.” Shame = “I am something wrong.” Shame often drives overwork, perfectionism, and burnout. Achievement isn't the enemy: High achievement can be healthy; it turns harmful when used to outrun not-enoughness. The inside job: Chasing external approval rarely creates peace. The work is self-acceptance first, then achievement as expression—not proof. Energy shift: Moving from self-criticism to self-compassion changes the fuel source—less grind, more clarity and consistency. Not complacency: Acceptance doesn't mean settling. It means you challenge yourself from care, not fear. Identity > outcomes: Know who you are without your wins. Let wins amplify who you are, not define it. Spot the signs: When “5 o'clock comes sooner,” relationships strain, or health dips, achievement may be shame-driven. Practical start: Notice the inner critic story; replace it with one small act of self-acceptance today. Leader note: Self-berating “bossing” demotivates. Self-compassion sustains performance and protects well-being.
