Culture tells us keep her happy. The Bible says keep her healthy. The design of marriage is challenging but beautiful. To find it we have to go to the designer to learn how to love each other.

In this power-packed episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dr. DDnard—author, founder of the Zoul App, and a global thought leader blending spiritual wisdom and mental health tech. Together, they explore how emotional challenges, financial hardships, and relationship struggles can serve as powerful portals for transformation—if we learn to view them as blessings in disguise. Dr. DDnard offers a three-step method to shift frequency and manifest abundance: smile, say thank you, and lead with love.   About the Guest:Dr. DDnard is a renowned spiritual teacher and entrepreneur best known for founding the Zoul Mental Health & Sleep App. Her work bridges Eastern wisdom and modern neuroscience, guiding high performers and everyday seekers through emotional resilience, energy alignment, and soul-centered living. She's collaborated with global changemakers and uses her personal story of overcoming debt and emotional pain to inspire radical growth and self-mastery.   Key Takeaways: Emotional pain is not a punishment—it's a gateway to deeper compassion and strength. Financial or personal setbacks are often “entrance fees” for a new phase of abundance. You control your life's “thermostat” by managing your internal frequency. Growth begins when you choose compassion over conflict—even in tough moments. True transformation starts with small acts: smiling, gratitude, and love.   Connect with Dr. DDnard: Instagram: @ddnard Facebook https://www.drddnard.com/ Download the Zoul App for mental health, meditation, and sleep support DM her directly on Instagram to connect or ask questions   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch – DM Me HereTune to all our 15 podcasts:https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavikSubscribe to Newsletter:https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/Join Community:https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Sarah Erdner, PhD, CMPC, to spotlight a topic often overlooked in the world of sports—coach mental health. Dr. Erdner, author of Dear Coach: What I Wish I Could Have Told You, unpacks the emotional burden coaches silently carry and how athlete well-being is often a reflection of coach well-being. Through intimate stories, powerful insights, and tangible steps, this episode challenges the sports world to reframe leadership, rethink "culture," and offer care to those expected to always lead.   About the Guest:Dr. Sarah Erdner is a Clinical Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and author of Dear Coach. Her groundbreaking work began with research interviews and evolved into a nationwide dialogue about emotional labor, empathy, and systemic change in sports. She advocates for psychological safety, multicultural awareness, and intrapersonal reflection among coaches.   Key Takeaways: Coaches are often viewed solely as a means to winning, which fuels burnout and poor mental health. Emotional neglect of coaches trickles down to athlete well-being and performance. Writing "Dear Coach" letters—both as a reflection and feedback tool—can start essential cultural conversations. Authentic leadership begins with acknowledging one's cultural identity and emotional limits. To create truly high-performing teams, organizations must prioritize coach support systems at par with athlete mental health.   Connect with Dr. Sarah Erdner:Visit: www.dearcoachbook.comExplore her book, request mentorship, or download the free eBook version.   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 Tune to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!• YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylife• Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod• Threads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.pod• Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by George Kourakos, founder of AMG Media and a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, to unpack what it takes to build a thriving startup in Europe's evolving market. George shares how he turned student-run events into a marketing powerhouse working with brands like HP and Lenovo—without any outside funding. The conversation spans key mindset shifts, strategic bootstrapping, the real reason big brands sponsor, and why AI will never replace human touch in high-performance businesses. A must-listen for founders, freelancers, and growth-driven professionals.   About the Guest:George Kourakos is the founder and CEO of AMG Media, a full-scale marketing and event agency that began with grassroots student events and now partners with global corporations. Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, George has led major campaigns across Europe and mentors startups on sustainable growth, branding, and strategic planning.   Key Takeaways: Bootstrapping works when you focus on high-value, human-first service. Pitching to sponsors is less about glam and more about timing, clarity, and trust. European startup growth is more structured and fund-accessible but requires a deep understanding of country-specific needs. AI is powerful, but without human insight, it can't deliver meaningful long-term growth. Staying grounded comes from constant learning, late nights, and a strong personal vision—not from external accolades.   Connect with George Kourakos:LinkedIn: George KourakosInstagram, TikTok & Socials: Search AMG Media   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avikTune to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavikSubscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #entrepreneurship #startups #europeanbusiness

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik dives deep with John Taylor McEntire—founder of Mutual Prosperity and creator of The Sync Method—to explore how leaders can realign with purpose and culture to drive authentic success. From overcoming the "Curse of Babel" in team communication to centering leadership around intuitive presence, John shares wisdom from his multicultural journey and decades of coaching. Tune in to learn how syncing your inner compass can transform your leadership impact, especially in high-growth, culturally diverse environments.   About the Guest:John Taylor McEntire is the founder of Mutual Prosperity and co-author with Jack Canfield. With a background spanning international leadership, cross-cultural development, and performance arts, John developed The Sync Method—a practical framework that helps leaders break through communication blocks and create resonant alignment in their teams. His approach is rooted in intuitive leadership, emotional intelligence, and the belief that every person is a vital piece of the global puzzle.   Key Takeaways: Leadership is not about performing harder—it's about syncing deeper with self, team, and culture. John's Sync Method aligns personal intuition with organizational rhythm to restore clarity and cohesion. Miscommunication often stems from unaligned “languages” between departments—his Language Alignment Matrix addresses this. Scaling teams requires cultural intelligence and emotional fluency—not just technical expertise. Coaching and introspection are essential to overcome people-pleasing and perfectionist tendencies in leaders.   Connect with John Taylor McEntire:Visit Mutual Prosperity for more details.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Can marriage and business truly thrive together? On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Larry and Sue Pruett, a powerhouse couple with over 35 years of marriage and a decade of full-time entrepreneurship. From raising five kids and homeschooling to coaching other couples in e-commerce and relationships, they share raw, hard-earned wisdom on communication, breakdowns, rebuilding trust, and living with purpose. This is not just a story of success—it's a blueprint for sustainable partnership in both love and business.   About the Guest:Larry and Sue Pruett are marriage and business coaches, parents of five, and co-founders of Side by Side Business. Together, they help entrepreneurial couples navigate the intersection of business growth and personal connection. With decades of experience juggling faith, family, and financial freedom, they offer a unique lens on sustaining long-term alignment without sacrificing intimacy or identity.   Key Takeaways: Marriage can be the foundation, not the friction, in your business journey. Role clarity, mutual respect, and faith-based mission statements are critical tools for couples who work together. Prioritizing your relationship doesn't slow growth—it sustains it. Real success is not in the income but in minimizing regret and maximizing connection. Boundaries, veto power, and shared dreaming can prevent burnout and build a life of purpose.   Connect with Larry & Sue Pruett:Download their free “Connect Cards” to deepen daily conversations with your partner:sidebysidebusiness.com/connect   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this energizing episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Michelle Coulson, founder of Remote Rebellion, to explore how remote work can be a tool for wellness, not just convenience. From escaping the grind of corporate London to designing a freedom-first lifestyle, Michelle shares how remote roles can radically transform our mental health, relationships, and definition of success. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the 9-5 burnout loop, offering real-world advice to start designing a work life aligned with personal values—not outdated policies. About the Guest:Michelle Coulson is the founder and CEO of Remote Rebellion, a career platform helping professionals find remote work that prioritizes well-being, flexibility, and freedom. After a successful but unfulfilling career in recruitment across London, Singapore, and Australia, Michelle chose to rewrite her story—trading office cubicles for coastlines and launching a mission-driven business. Today, she helps others escape burnout and reclaim their lives through remote-first careers. Key Takeaways: Burnout isn't always loud—it often shows up as quiet dissatisfaction and misalignment. Remote work isn't a luxury—it can be a lifeline for mental health and presence at home. True wellness at work comes from value alignment, autonomy, and intentional design. Not all “remote” roles are equal—learn how to identify truly flexible jobs. The first step to remote work doesn't require quitting—it starts with curiosity and skills audit.   Connect with Michelle: LinkedIn: Michelle Coulson Website: Remote Rebellion Instagram: @remoterebellion   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Keren shares her journey from the shipping industry to becoming Sussex County's top real estate agent, revealing how motherhood, loss, and unwavering self-belief shaped her path.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore a radical shift in wealth thinking with Randolph Love III—founder of Shieldwolf Strongholds and host of the Entrepreneur Nudist podcast. Randolph breaks down the concept of the “Infinite Conceptual Bank,” challenging conventional financial systems and introducing listeners to tools for building personal wealth vehicles that are liquid, safe, and tax-favored. Through real-world examples, he connects financial literacy with mental wellness and outlines a new path for abundance rooted in mindset, vision, and strategy. About the Guest:Randolph Love III is a Chartered Financial Consultant, Certified IUL Master, and President of Shieldwolf Strongholds, a leading wealth protection firm. His podcast, Entrepreneur Nudist, ranks in the top 10% globally. He specializes in wealth-building strategies using life insurance vehicles structured for living benefits, helping business owners and families create lasting financial legacies. Key Takeaways: The “Infinite Conceptual Bank” is about turning your mindset into capital—an internal economy that compounds over time. Wealth is subjective: success depends on your lifestyle and how long it can be sustained without work. Safety, liquidity, and tax advantage are more important than high returns alone. Mindset is everything—scarcity thinking can collapse wealth even before market shifts do. Life insurance, when structured correctly, can offer living benefits that protect and grow wealth over generations.

Thursday, May 15 -  Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over prescription drugs. He starts today's episode with managing blood pressure in a homeopathic way, the importance of working with your doctor to find out what your blood pressure should be, and the actually causes of high blood pressure. Then, Dr. Jack shifts his focus on the pharmaceutical advertising and marketing aspect of blood pressure medications, the unwelcome side effects of many of these medications, and why they are more beneficial for some people but not everyone.

Jack shares how losing a 20-year relationship became a wake-up call that led him to transform his own avoidant tendencies. Together, they unpack how childhood experiences shape adult connection styles, why intellectual awareness alone doesn't break patterns, and how somatic safety is the true gateway to secure relationships. Listeners will learn what healthy attachment feels like—calm, simple, safe—and how to rewire from survival to connection.   About the Guest:Jack Bohanan is a certified relationship coach and somatica practitioner known for helping people rewire unhealthy relational dynamics. After navigating the loss of a long-term relationship due to insecure attachment, Jack dove deep into healing—both personally and professionally. He now uses somatic roleplay, embodiment work, and his signature Ideal Partner Figure (IPF) method to guide clients, including therapists, into healthier connections. Jack's mission is simple: help people experience what real love feels like in their nervous system, not just in their head.   Key Takeaways: Awareness is only the beginning; somatic safety is what actually shifts attachment wounds. Secure attachment feels peaceful, not intense—comfort in connection and in solitude. Many of us confuse familiarity with love, even when it's toxic. You don't need to “fix” yourself—being kinder to your nervous system is a powerful first step. Healing happens in real-time experiences, not just in therapy sessions or journaling.

Tuesday, May 13 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with the good news for celiac disease and gluten intolerance sufferers that the act of kissing does NOT pose an increased risk of cross contamination with gluten. That's the good news. Unfortunately, some bad news found in a new study of how cinnamon might affect how our bodies absorb medication and how much cinnamon is too much cinnamon, a new report found an increase in doctors quitting their field over burnout, and the use of meal delivery services that may be able to help you maintain better health and improve your at-home eating habits. Then, the conversation shifts to if plastics making their way into our bodies and affecting our health, a major food recall with Martinelli's apple juice related to mold toxins, and an unpredicted bonus effects Ozempic and Wegovy users are finding in the reverse of fatty liver disease. The conversation shifts to the benefits of marijuana use while pregnant. Spoiler Alert  There aren't enough pros that outweigh the risk. Doug and Dr. Ken agree against pregnant women using marijuana products. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, including how to find out which supplements are best for you and how much to take, and how to reduce stress. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In this groundbreaking episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Charley Johnson, former president of the Pay It Forward Foundation and a visionary behind the role of Chief Consciousness Officer (CCO). Together, they dive deep into why the future of leadership isn't found in data dashboards or KPIs—but in consciousness. Charley explores how expanding awareness can transform decision-making, leadership, and company culture, especially in a world racing toward AI integration. If you're a CEO, founder, or curious soul wondering how to future-proof your leadership, this episode is a must-listen. About the Guest:Charley Johnson is a business owner, spiritual student, and the former president of the Pay It Forward Foundation.

Consciousness isn't spiritual fluff—it's a tactical advantage for clarity, creativity, and connection. Leaders can no longer solve problems with the same mindset that created them; awareness expansion is critical. Consciousness is the water we swim in—it's time to understand and utilize it intentionally. This isn't about mindfulness apps—it's about embodying human intelligence in every business decision.

If the word “sales” makes you cringe, this episode will change your mind—and your bottom line. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Ursula Mentjes, a USA Today bestselling author, business strategist, and certified NLP coach, who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs double their revenue while working less. Together, they explore how limiting beliefs around money, visibility, and “being pushy” sabotage success—and how a heart-centered, service-driven approach to selling can unlock abundance. This episode dives into how your subconscious mind affects your sales behaviors, why creatives and healers need to embrace selling, and how a simple identity shift can lead to exponential growth. You'll leave with actionable steps to replace fear with purpose, and scarcity with service. About the Guest:Ursula Mentjes is the bestselling author of UpLevel Now, a transformational speaker, and host of the Quantum Revenue Expansion podcast. She's trained global brands like Aflac and Keller Williams and shared the stage with legends like Les Brown and Lisa Nichols. Ursula empowers business owners to rewire their beliefs and tap into a higher level of revenue—without burnout. Key Takeaways: Sales is not about being pushy—it's about solving problems with intention. Most limiting beliefs come from subconscious programming that keeps us “safe” but stuck. You can shift your identity from “not a salesperson” to a professionally persistent problem solver. Your morning habits directly impact your sales performance—link new habits to existing ones. Great work deserves great income—and learning to sell is a gift to yourself and those you serve.

In this transformative episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty dives deep into a topic often misunderstood—BDSM as a path to healing. Joining him is Mistress Mia Payne, a trauma-informed professional dominatrix and certified therapeutic BDSM practitioner. Together, they unravel how consensual power exchange can be a profound tool for trauma recovery, somatic release, and personal empowerment. Mia shares her journey, from personal experiences with kink to helping clients reclaim autonomy and process deep-seated shame. This conversation challenges societal stigma and sheds light on how intentional pain and surrender, within a structured and consensual setting, can offer a gateway to healing. About the Guest:Mistress Mia Payne is a certified therapeutic BDSM practitioner and trauma-informed professional dominatrix. Her groundbreaking work integrates orthomolecular health, bodywork, and kink to offer a powerful healing modality. Through rites of passage, somatic release, and power exchange, she guides clients to reclaim their strength, process trauma, and move toward self-acceptance. As part of the Therapeutic BDSM Collaborative Network, she bridges the gap between traditional therapy and somatic healing.   Key Takeaways: Consent is Power: In therapeutic BDSM, the submissive always controls the scene, fostering autonomy and safety. Pain as Release: Purposeful pain can trigger emotional releases, balancing brain chemistry and reducing anxiety or depression. Breaking Stigma: BDSM, when practiced ethically, is about healing, not harm—it's time to change the narrative. Body Memory: Trauma lives in the body; somatic practices like BDSM can access and heal what talk therapy may not. Cultural Shift: As more practitioners like Mia speak out, societal understanding of kink as a wellness practice is evolving.

In this transformative episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes seasoned physical therapist Dave Jeter, founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy, to challenge the conventional approach to treating musculoskeletal pain. Rather than jumping straight to surgeries or quick fixes, Dave advocates for starting with movement-based healing—retraining the body to function as a whole, not in isolation. Drawing from 23+ years of experience, Dave breaks down how PT addresses the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. From chronic back issues to pre-surgical support, Dave shares why physical therapy should be the first line of defense, and how understanding the kinetic chain is crucial to lasting recovery. Through powerful stories and simple metaphors, he illustrates how PT can help patients not just heal—but thrive. About the Guest:Dave Jeter is a licensed physical therapist and founder of Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane, WA. With over two decades of experience, Dave specializes in biomechanical dysfunctions, manual therapy, and restoring functional movement patterns. His mission is to empower patients with knowledge and movement so they can reclaim their active lives without unnecessary procedures. Key Takeaways: Physical therapy treats the cause, not just the symptoms, by addressing the full kinetic chain. Quick fixes like injections or surgery can mask the problem—PT helps prevent them altogether. Chronic pain can be retrained by rewiring how the brain perceives movement. Proactive PT can reduce surgeries and healthcare costs dramatically. Everyone—especially older adults—can benefit from regular movement assessments to prevent future injuries.

Bernice shares insights from her transformative book, highlighting the concept of taking “tiny brave steps” and the power of befriending fear.

In this thought-provoking episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Alexandra Mell-Taylor, a trans, nonbinary writer and fierce cultural commentator, to explore the intersection of identity, pop culture, and mental wellness. Alexandra shares how community—online and offline—can be both healing and harmful, depending on how we show up. From their work in DC activist circles to creating speculative fiction spaces, Alexandra unpacks how storytelling, media, and digital spaces affect marginalized identities and mental health. Tune in for a raw conversation on resilience, representation, and reclaiming community power.   About the Guest:Alexandra Mell-Taylor is a trans, nonbinary writer known for their cultural commentary and speculative fiction. They are the founder of After the Storm, a futurist magazine curating global voices.

Vince opens up about his experience building a $100 million company, facing public scrutiny, bankruptcy, and ultimately a profound spiritual awakening that reshaped his understanding of success, leadership, and capitalism.
