Burnout isn't always about “too much work.” In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, leadership advisor and former Nike executive Nick Montalbine breaks down three overlooked forms of burnout—overload, under-challenged, and neglect—and explains why misalignment and weak feedback loops quietly drain teams. We dig into early signals (withdrawal, sharper tone, Sunday dread), how continuous listening beats annual surveys, and a practical 90-day challenge any company can run to rebuild trust and retention. Direct, useful, and built for leaders and contributors who want healthier performance without the hustle myth. Guest: Nick Montalbine. About the Guest   Nick Montalbine is a leadership advisor, former Nike executive, and founder of Inner Voice Analytics. He helps organizations detect cultural cracks early through behavioral signals, ongoing listening, and actionable data—so people stay energized, seen, and productive. Key Takeaways   Burnout has three types: overload (too much), under-challenged (bored/misaligned), and neglect (helplessness). A “dream job” can still burn you out if it doesn't light you up or fit your strengths. Observable leader cues: withdrawal from collaboration, sharper tone, reduced stretch-taking, rising irritability. Self-signals: concentration slips, short-term memory lapses, insomnia (e.g., waking at the same time nightly), and Sunday dread. Culture accelerators of burnout: infrequent surveys, slow action on feedback, and failure to reach team-level issues. Move from annual/pulse surveys to continuous listening mapped to the employee lifecycle (apply → onboard → grow → exit). Use people data (e.g., turnover patterns) to find “smoke” and intervene before fires start. If you have one lever, pull trust through action: run focused listening sessions, ship quick wins, and communicate progress. 90-day challenge: ask 7–10 sharp questions (value, career mobility, meaning/strategy link), separate short- vs. long-term fixes, and show weekly momentum. Personal alignment isn't fluffy; it's a performance driver and a retention moat.   How to Connect with the Guest   Nick Montalbine — Founder, Inner Voice Analytics - https://www.innervoiceanalytics.com/ Best avenues: LinkedIn (Nick Montalbine) and search “Inner Voice Analytics” for contact options.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Julie Alsaker, founder of Lux Bioanalytics and holistic genetic specialist, to unpack how nutrigenomics, methylation pathways, and nervous system regulation shape clarity, energy, and resilience. We move beyond generic wellness advice to explore DNA-informed strategies for burnout, brain fog, and “doing everything right” yet still feeling off. If you've wondered why breathwork, journaling, or clean eating sometimes stall, this episode shows how aligning biology with belief and behavior can create practical, measurable change. About the guest  : Julie Alsaker is a holistic genetic specialist with 25+ years in alternative health. Through Lux Bioanalytics, she integrates DNA insights, functional blood analysis, and nutrition to help clients—from bedridden patients to high performers—identify root causes and build sustainable, personalized protocols. Key takeaways: Genetics is strategy, not destiny: DNA reveals tendencies; choices and environments shape outcomes. Nutrigenomics > one-size-fits-all: Diet, stress tools, and routines work best when calibrated to your genetic blueprint. Methylation matters: Variants across 13+ genes (e.g., MTHFR, MTR/MTRR, CBS, COMT) can limit energy access; nutrient form/amount can be the unlock. Biology sets the ceiling: Ignoring physiology (gut, immune, detox pathways) caps results from mindset and mindfulness work. Parasympathetic is where healing happens: Your body repairs when it feels safe; resilience includes nervous system retraining. Symptoms are data, not destiny: Don't normalize persistent brain fog, poor sleep, or “just getting older.” Track and investigate. Gut–brain loop: >70% of serotonin is produced in the gut; microbiome balance influences mood and motivation. Test, then tailor: DNA plus detailed bloodwork narrows root causes and informs targeted, safe interventions. Language shapes physiology: Identity and words matter—reframing fear can reduce stress chemistry and support healing. Start simple: Practice “grounded awareness”—honest symptom logging—before adding protocols or supplements.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Greg Vorst and Michael Nolan, co-founders of Embodied Recovery, to explore the deeper roots of addiction and mental health struggles. Together, they unpack the powerful idea that “the illness is often in the personality,” and how true recovery requires more than abstinence—it demands transformation of how we live, breathe, and relate to ourselves and others. The conversation covers the role of learned helplessness, how body-based practices like Sundo breathing can loosen ingrained patterns, and why recovery is not just coping but awakening into aliveness, peace, and purpose. This dialogue is direct, thought-provoking, and filled with practical insights for anyone navigating healing, trauma, or transformation. About the Guests   Greg Vorst is a licensed therapist, recovery mentor, and practitioner of Sundo—an ancient Taoist breathing and meditation practice. With decades of experience, he bridges psychology, spiritual wisdom, and embodiment work to create practical tools for everyday healing. Michael Nolan is a recovery leader and transformational teacher whose lived experience fuels his work. He helps people move beyond abstinence into awakening—shifting from helplessness to empowerment, and from survival to authentic living. Together, they founded Embodied Recovery, a pioneering treatment center in Silicon Valley. Key Takeaways   Healing is not only about treating symptoms but reshaping personality patterns that keep us stuck. Learned helplessness can keep people trapped, but small nudges from community and structure restore agency. Abstinence is only the foundation—true recovery comes from transforming how we live and relate. The body holds psychological defenses; breathwork and embodiment practices can release stored tension and unlock healing. Protective personality traits (like armoring or judgment) may once have been survival mechanisms but can block intimacy and growth if left unchecked. Recovery is not just coping—it's awakening to aliveness, responsibility, spiritual connection, and empowered choice. A practical first step: share your struggle with a safe friend, guide, or community—truth-telling begins the healing journey.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Lillian (Lilly) Field—entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of WombWise and the Founder Flow Accelerator—about replacing hustle culture with a cyclical, body-aligned approach to work. Lillian breaks down how women entrepreneurs can map strategy and marketing to the four phases of the menstrual cycle: vision during menstruation, planning in follicular, visibility in ovulation, and analysis in luteal. We discuss burnout signals, shifting identity from doer to leader, and practical first steps (cycle tracking, capacity design, and month-over-month optimization). Direct, actionable, and built for creators and founders who want energy, clarity, and results without the grind. About the Guest   Lillian Field is the founder of WombWise and creator of the Founder Flow Accelerator. She helps women build mission-driven businesses aligned with biology, values, and seasonality—drawing from women's health, sustainable business, and systems thinking. She has built companies from a web studio to an agroforestry farm to an AI startup. Key Takeaways: Track your cycle first; data plus daily self-reflection drives better decisions. Menstruation: step back for vision, messaging clarity, and strategic direction. Follicular: convert strategy into a plan—channels, timelines, resources for 1–3 cycles. Ovulation: prioritize visibility—speaking, collaborations, interviews, and content creation. Luteal: close loops; edit, measure, and optimize campaigns before the next cycle. Shift identity from doing everything to leading; remove hats and design capacity. Consistency comes from re-choosing your agreements (e.g., Do Your Best) when hustle patterns return. Burnout is a signal, not a moral failure; align operations with biology to regain energy and creativity.   Connect with the Guest   Website: wombwise.biz Social: Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest — WombWise Collective Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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

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

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with three powerful voices—Julie Alsaker, Trey Tijerina, and Thomas R. Wilson—to unpack the deeper dimensions of resilience. We often hear that grit and mindset define strength, but what if resilience is also written in our genes, our beliefs, and our stories? This conversation bridges science, spirituality, and storytelling, showing how biology influences stress, how inner scripts shape transformation, and how community and belonging reinforce mental strength. About the Guests   Julie Alsaker is the founder of Lux Bioanalytics and a holistic genetic specialist with over 25 years in alternative health. She pioneers ways to integrate genetics, blood markers, and holistic care for true healing. Trey Tijerina is a visionary entrepreneur exploring psychology, spirituality, imagination, and the human impact of AI. He blends ventures and frameworks that challenge limits and open paths to transformation. Thomas R. Wilson is a writer, advocate, and community leader. Through storytelling and sensory-friendly events, he empowers neurodiverse and marginalized communities, proving resilience is born from courage and belonging. Key Takeaways   Genetics play a role in how stress is processed, and understanding your DNA can guide resilience strategies. Mental scripts and inner narratives influence how physiology responds and how transformation unfolds. Resilience is not fixed—it is a choice shaped daily by the state of consciousness we live from. Storytelling offers connection, representation, and advocacy, especially for neurodiverse and marginalized voices. Community resilience depends on inclusion, accessibility, and the power of healthy boundaries. Resilience is both prevention and adaptation—some learn through experience, others through wisdom, but all are shaped by how they relate to challenges. Self-love and compassionate boundaries strengthen personal and community resilience.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty digs into what really happens after you step away from the career you spent decades building. Guest Jack Calhoun, Founder & President of Encore Career Lab, explains why financial freedom alone doesn't equal fulfillment, how identity loss creeps in post-exit, and how to build an intentional second act that blends purpose, autonomy, and meaningful impact. We cover the pitfalls of the “endless vacation” myth, the value of structure and accountability, and practical steps to map your encore path—so you don't drift, but design. Optimized for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn search: encore career, post-retirement purpose, second act career, identity after work, purposeful retirement, midlife reinvention, career transition coaching. About the guest   Jack Calhoun grew a wealth-management firm from $50M to $1.5B AUM, exited in his early 50s, and learned firsthand that money planning isn't life planning. Through Encore Career Lab, he helps high-achieving professionals craft mission-driven “encore” careers that use their unique abilities, wisdom, and autonomy. Key takeaways   Retirement as “endless vacation” wears thin; purpose, structure, and community sustain wellbeing. Identity loss post-career is common; plan for purpose as intentionally as you plan finances. Design your encore around autonomy: what you do, for whom, where, and how. Mine your lived experience (“what I know now that I wish I knew then”) into advisory, coaching, or consulting offers. Don't jump into low-fit ventures; pressure-test ideas with a clear framework before committing capital. Purposeful work in midlife can be both fulfilling and lucrative—scale is a choice. Future-proof now: build skills, relationships, and small pilots before your exit.   How to connect with the guest   Website: EncoreCareerLab.com LinkedIn: Jack Calhoun (search on LinkedIn) Email: jack@encorecareerlab.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Australian health and fitness expert Heath Jones—founder of Active & Ageless Fitness Centers—about building resilience through disciplined daily habits. Drawing from 20+ years of chronic back pain and three spinal surgeries, Heath explains how micro-routines, structured goals, and community help people (especially over 50) move better, feel better, and live fully. We cover the first steps when you feel stuck, how to sustain momentum, and why “movement, mindset, and community are the medicine.” Optimized for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn search, this talk offers practical, no-hype strategies for pain management, healthy aging, and consistency.   About the guest: Heath Jones is an Australian health and fitness professional focused on the 50+ community. A former registered nurse, exercise scientist, personal trainer, and infantry soldier, he founded Active & Ageless Fitness Centers to help people regain strength, mobility, and confidence—regardless of age or history of pain.   Key takeaways : Start tiny: your “first step” can be a 10-minute walk; add small increments daily to build a sustainable habit. Discipline = structure: plan tomorrow tonight; lock in 2–3 priorities; schedule movement, hydration, sleep, and meals. Move on hard days: gentle mobility and light walking reduce catastrophizing and often ease pain better than bed rest. Consistency beats intensity: in the first 6–8 weeks, focus on showing up rather than “maxing out.” Momentum comes from goals: write specific goals (carry groceries, play with grandkids, surf again) and review them on off days. Progress ≠ perfection: hitting 60–70% of your plan consistently compounds results without burnout. Community matters: coaching and supportive groups keep you accountable and prevent overexertion early on. Lived experience builds trust: Heath's path through chronic pain informs practical coaching for real-world constraints.   Connect with the guest   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathjones1.618/ Website:: https://activeandageless.com.au/    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with David L Cary, author of The Well Chronicles—including Maria's Shadow and The Veil Strikes. We unpack why he writes fast-paced, clean thrillers rooted in faith, justice, and resilience, how he portrays human trafficking without graphic detail, and why Book 3 aims for a decisive “good wins” conclusion. A direct conversation for readers who want suspense without explicit content, and for creators navigating moral stakes, hope, and responsible storytelling.   About the Guest   David L Cary is the author of The Well Chronicles, a clean-thriller series blending high-octane action with themes of faith, courage, and justice. His novels—Maria's Shadow and The Veil Strikes—confront trafficking and systemic corruption while avoiding graphic content. He's currently finishing Book 3. Find him as DLCary on Goodreads, and “David L Cary” on Amazon and Facebook.   Key Takeaways: Clean doesn't mean dull: Cary proves you can deliver Hollywood-pace suspense without profanity, graphic sex, or gore—and still keep readers turning pages. Ethical storytelling:Maria's Shadow addresses human trafficking with sensitivity—no explicit scenes—inviting reflection without retraumatization. Violence with restraint: Characters face real danger and death, but graphic depictions are omitted, preserving intensity and accessibility for broader audiences. Faith as framework: Cary's worldview centers grace over greed and the conviction that hope matters, even when darkness is real. From headlines to fiction:The Veil Strikes mirrors contemporary concerns—blackmail, shadow groups, institutional rot—while staying fictional and responsibly framed. Reader imagination > shock value: Suggestion and context let readers grasp stakes without explicit content, aligning with platform standards. Series arc with closure: Book 3 aims for an uncommon choice in political thrillers: accountability and resolution, not a cover-up. Why this matters: For viewers seeking faith-aligned, socially aware fiction, Cary models how to write page-turners that respect boundaries and still challenge systems.   Connect with the Guest   Goodreads: Search “DLCary” Amazon Author Page: Search “David L Cary The Well Chronicles” Facebook: Search “David L Cary” (match the author photo used on Amazon/Goodreads)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with TEDx speaker, author, and creative strategist Paul Pape, also known as Santa for Nerds. Together, they explore how creatives can stop forcing themselves into the corporate mold and instead build businesses that feel natural, joyful, and profitable. Paul shares his Gamify Business approach, showing how to use game mechanics—like character sheets, quests, and teamwork—to transform the business side of creativity from a burden into an adventure. Listeners will discover why traditional business education often harms creative mental health, how to embrace their unique strengths, and why finding just 100 true fans can build lasting success. About the Guest   Paul Pape is a TEDx speaker, author of The Creative Player's Handbook to Business, and founder of Gamify Business. With over 20 years of experience working with Disney, Universal, Nickelodeon, and his own thriving design studio, Paul helps creatives shift from the “starving artist” mindset to building businesses that align with how they actually think and create. Known as Santa for Nerds, Paul brings a fun, game-based approach to serious business challenges. Key Takeaways   Traditional business rules often stifle creativity; success comes from rewriting the rules for your own path. Gamifying business with role-playing concepts (character sheets, quests, teamwork) makes entrepreneurship less stressful and more motivating. A “character sheet” exercise helps creatives see their strengths and weaknesses clearly, without judgment. Business success doesn't require a million followers—just 100 true fans willing to support your work. Hustle culture drains creative energy; focusing on authenticity and aligned strategy builds resilience and sustainable growth. Selling you as the creative is more powerful than just selling your product—connection matters more than cheap competition.   Connect with the Guest   Website: gamifybusiness.comSocial: Search Gamify Business or Paul Pape Designs on all major platforms.

Startups are often portrayed as glamorous—funding rounds, headlines, and overnight success stories. But behind the scenes, founders face sleepless nights, relentless stress, and the loneliness of carrying a company's future on their shoulders. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Andrew Ackerman—founder, investor, and author of The Entrepreneur's Odyssey—shares the raw, unfiltered realities of entrepreneurship. From the myth of hustle culture to the emotional toll of leadership, Andrew opens up about the lessons founders rarely hear in business school. This conversation is not just about strategy—it's about resilience, balance, and the human side of building a business. About the Guest   Andrew Ackerman is a startup founder, investor, accelerator director, and teacher who has supported and invested in dozens of companies. Drawing from decades of lived experience, he authored The Entrepreneur's Odyssey, a narrative-style guide that explores the emotional and practical challenges of startup life. Andrew blends storytelling with real-world lessons, helping founders understand not only the “how-to” of startups but also what it truly feels like to be in the founder's shoes. Key Takeaways   Startup life is often lonely—only other founders fully understand the weight of the journey. Storytelling captures the truth of entrepreneurship better than bullet points or “how-to” guides. Hustle culture is unsustainable; discipline, recovery, and balance matter more than endless hours. Investors respect hustle, but true competitive advantage comes from a strong, defensible business model—not working longer than others. Founders must recognize that startups consume every part of life—conversations, relationships, and even hobbies become filtered through the lens of the company. Building with intention and setting clear roles (even in couple-founded startups) can reduce conflict and improve outcomes.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. James Kneller, a renowned cardiologist and founder of the Natural Cardiology Institute, to explore how heart health goes far beyond cholesterol, blood pressure, and prescriptions. Together they discuss the heart–brain connection, the role of mindset and stress, the influence of energy alignment, and the integration of natural therapies in modern cardiology. Dr. Kneller also shares how meditation, water quality, and even consciousness practices can reshape not only heart health but also resilience and purpose. This is a thought-provoking look at the heart as both a physical organ and an energetic center that governs much of how we live and thrive. About the Guest   Dr. James Kneller is a cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist with over 20 years of experience treating complex heart rhythm disorders. He is the founder of the Natural Cardiology Institute, creator of innovative heart health products like Cholesterol-Free and Just Beat It, and co-author of two upcoming books with Mark Victor Hansen. Beyond clinical medicine, Dr. Kneller is passionate about merging cutting-edge science with natural healing, exploring how mindset, energy, and spirituality directly influence the heart. Key Takeaways   The heart–brain axis is a robust neurologic and energetic system, with the heart influencing the brain as much as the brain influences the heart. Stress and negative thinking directly contribute to fibrosis, atherosclerosis, arrhythmias, and shortened lifespan. The heart's electromagnetic field is 5,000 times stronger than the brain's, shaping both our interactions and the energy we attract. Conventional cardiology, while powerful, has limitations—for example, despite new drugs, deaths from hypertension have increased dramatically. Natural therapies such as meditation, energized water, music, herbs, and clean nutrition can complement medical treatment and improve cardiovascular health. Meditation is one of the most effective and accessible practices to calm the nervous system, align mind and body, and protect the heart. The heart holds aspects of personality and memory, as seen in heart transplant cases, making spiritual and mindset work essential for cardiac wellness. True healing requires building a bridge between medicine and nature—embracing both science and spirituality.   Connect with the Guest   Email: jamesknellermd@gmail.com Website: www.naturalcardiologyinstitute.com Social Media: Find Dr. Kneller on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

High-achieving and still 30% happy at work? In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, career coach and therapist Rachel Spekman unpacks why smart professionals stay in roles they secretly hate—status, salary, identity—and how to exit without chaos. We cover permission to want more, navigating identity shifts, handling judgment, and practical, income-safe pivots (including fractional work). Direct, actionable, SEO-friendly guidance for YouTube/Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn audiences who want purpose, alignment, and sustainable earnings—without burning their careers to the ground. Guest: Rachel Spekman. About the guest   Rachel Spekman is a career coach and licensed therapist specializing in identity transformations and vocational alignment. After 15 years in brand marketing, 10 years with startups, and 5 years as a therapist, she helps professionals move from soul-sucking roles into work that matches values, strengths, and desired income. Key takeaways Start with permission: ask, “Am I allowed to want something different?” Then imagine alternatives before acting. Define “achievement” for yourself—not for LinkedIn, bosses, or family. Success must map to your values. Expect value shifts: life events (loss, mental health, family) change what “fits.” A once-great job can become misaligned. Measure reality: honestly rate your work happiness out of 100. If you're at ~30%, plan a directional change. Aim for 80% satisfaction by moving 1–2% at a time; small, consistent improvements compound. Choose your problems: invest your “three Ts” (time, talent, treasure) where you want to solve challenges. Identity work matters: manage the ego when titles change; treat everyone with integrity—today's intern can be tomorrow's boss. Build safe bridges: don't jump without a plan. Most realignments take 6–12 months with clear milestones. Consider fractional work: package your expertise for multiple clients to increase autonomy and earnings. Realignment isn't always promotion; a “lateral” or even “demotion” can be a values-aligned win.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik sits down with movement therapist Vanessa Leone to explore how movement is much more than exercise—it's a language of healing, freedom, and connection. With nearly two decades of experience in sports science and wellness, Vanessa shares how navigating ADHD, autoimmune challenges, and hypermobility reshaped her philosophy on movement. She reveals why self-compassion is the root of true self-discipline, how emotions are inseparable from motion, and why joyful movement—not forced workouts—creates lasting transformation. This conversation is a practical guide for anyone struggling with burnout, chronic pain, or the pressure of fitness expectations. Listeners will learn how to reframe movement into something nurturing, sustainable, and deeply therapeutic. About the Guest   Vanessa Leone is a consultant for Technogym, international presenter, and disruptor in the fitness and wellness space. With a unique blend of science, lived experience, and compassion, she helps people rediscover the healing power of movement as medicine. Key Takeaways   Movement therapy is not about performance or aesthetics—it's about joy, freedom, and self-love. “Motion is emotion, and emotion is motion”—the body and mind are inseparable. Self-compassion fuels self-discipline; shame and force only create burnout. Chronic illness and pain are invitations to slow down and listen to the body's needs. Start with small, enjoyable movements—walking, dancing, stretching—that shift mood and energy. Music, community, and play are powerful gateways into sustainable movement practices. Emotional resilience can be built through movement, as the body often expresses what words cannot.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://vlmovementtherapy.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vlmovementtherapist/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-leone-2055b86a/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@vanessaleonemovementtherapM2M Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Jack Sorenson to explore a sustainable approach to health and fitness called the Floor and Ceiling Method. Jack shares his personal journey from being a collegiate athlete to battling unhealthy habits, facing identity loss, and ultimately rebuilding his life through fitness, sobriety, and mindset shifts. Instead of chasing perfection or burning out, Jack's method helps people set realistic “floors” (minimum effort on hard days) and aspirational “ceilings” (maximum capacity without burnout) to stay consistent long-term. This episode uncovers how small, steady actions create a lifestyle that lasts, and why pivoting doesn't mean stopping—it means adapting for sustainability. If you've ever struggled with yo-yo dieting, unrealistic workout plans, or self-criticism for not being “perfect,” this conversation will show you how to reframe your health journey for real progress and balance. About the Guest   Jack Sorenson is a fitness coach, entrepreneur, and creator of the Floor and Ceiling Method. A former multi-sport athlete turned health strategist, Jack helps people “start and never stop” by combining practical fitness strategies with mindset tools. After overcoming addiction and weight struggles, he now empowers others to build sustainable habits that align with their lifestyle. Key Takeaways   The Floor and Ceiling Method ensures progress by setting non-negotiable minimums and achievable maximums. Consistency beats intensity—progress is built over years, not weeks. Perfection is unrealistic; sustainability comes from doing “less but longer.” Health is more than physical—it's mental and emotional resilience. Pivoting in your fitness routine is not failure—it's adapting for longevity. Identity shift is key: health must be part of who you are, not a temporary phase. Movement in any form—walking, weightlifting, pickleball, or mobility work—counts toward a healthy lifestyle. Sharing your story openly can be a powerful step toward healing and helping others.   Connect with the Guest   Instagram: @sorensonfit Email: jack@sorensonfitness.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with entrepreneur, deep thinker, and spiritual seeker Trey Tijerina to explore how imagination can unlock the divine spark within us. Together they unpack unconscious programming, limiting beliefs, and the ways imagination can serve as both a tool for creation and for healing. Trey shares personal insights from fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and spiritual exploration—inviting us to dissolve old identifications and live in pure possibility rather than predictable limitations. This conversation challenges societal and mental systems while offering practical guidance on using imagination to manifest abundance, shift subconscious patterns, and find deeper alignment with love, freedom, and truth. About the Guest   Trey Tijerina is an entrepreneur with ventures across multiple industries, including three successful exits. Beyond business, Trey is a father and a spiritual explorer dedicated to helping people disrupt unconscious programming and access their inner power. His work bridges imagination, identity, and transformation, guiding individuals to live more freely and authentically. Key Takeaways   Most people live on unconscious programming passed down through generations—but we can disrupt and reframe it. Imagination isn't just daydreaming; when paired with feeling, it becomes a powerful tool for manifestation. Manifestation fails when thoughts of abundance clash with feelings of fear or lack—feeling is the true driver. Becoming a parent was Trey's personal disruption, reflecting back deeper truths about self and relationships. Money beliefs often stem from family programming, but we can choose to reprogram intentionally. True imagination aligns with unpredictability and pure possibility, not just probability and control. Dissolving identification with “I am” labels opens access to spiritual truth and freedom. Imagination can be a healing tool through revision—reframing past experiences to shift how we carry them forward. Time is an illusion; memory is imagination at work, allowing us to reshape the way we relate to the past. The universe responds not to what we want, but to who we are—our collective thoughts, beliefs, and energy.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with journalist and author Alison Sher to explore how we can stay politically informed without sacrificing our mental health. Drawing from her book The Social Contagion: Viral Ideologies and the Culture War for America's Future, Alison unpacks the tension between outrage culture, biased news cycles, and our civic duty to stay engaged. The conversation dives into practical strategies for consuming news without burnout, how to navigate polarized narratives, and why curiosity and compassion are essential for respectful dialogue in today's divided world. If you've ever felt mentally drained by headlines or guilty for tuning out, this episode offers tools to reset your relationship with information and reclaim your inner balance. About the Guest   Alison Sher is a journalist, author, and cultural commentator whose work focuses on the fractures shaping modern society, from generational divides to ideological polarization. Her latest book, The Social Contagion, examines how viral media narratives influence our psychology and politics while offering a path toward neutrality, peacebuilding, and healthier civic engagement. Key Takeaways   Staying informed requires boundaries—limit news and social media intake to avoid constant adrenaline spikes. Recognize bias in reporting: tools like DeBias.me and Ground News can help expose slanted narratives. Curiosity and dialogue are more powerful than outrage; respectful listening helps integrate diverse perspectives. Engagement doesn't have to mean burnout—redefining activism to include joyful and sustainable approaches is key. Civic duty and mental health can coexist when we prioritize compassion, curiosity, and balance over constant outrage.   Connect with the Guest   Website & projects: alisonsher.com Book: The Social Contagion (available on major platforms) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with licensed professional counselors and authors Helene Zupanc and Beth Valdez to explore the transformative power of sticky note mantras. Their book, Sticky Note Mantras: The Art and Science of Choosing Your Thoughts, blends science, humor, and personal experience to show how short, memorable mantras can rewire the brain, reduce anxiety, and shift negative self-talk into self-compassion. From OCD and ADHD struggles to using humor as a healing tool, Helene and Beth share practical strategies and deeply personal stories that remind us that mental health isn't about overnight change—it's about small, intentional steps that build resilience over time. About the Guests   Helene Zupanc is an OCD specialist and counselor who has turned her lived experience with intrusive thoughts into a therapeutic practice for others. Beth Valdez is a licensed counselor whose creative, humorous, and neuroscience-backed approach makes mental health tools both relatable and effective. Together, they are co-authors of Sticky Note Mantras and passionate advocates for making mental health simple, actionable, and even fun. Key Takeaways   Sticky note mantras are quick, personalized cues that help interrupt negative thought cycles and build healthier mental habits. Humor is a powerful healing tool—it diffuses stress, rewires perspective, and fosters connection. Naming intrusive or anxious thoughts (“that's my anxiety brain”) helps create space to choose healthier responses. Repetition is essential—like brushing your teeth, daily mantras strengthen new neural pathways. Pairing mantras with daily routines (“habit stacking”) reinforces positive self-talk and intentional living. Self-compassion is not optional—it's foundational. Balance, fun, and kindness toward yourself are crucial to sustainable mental health.   Connect with the Guests   Website & Blog: https://stickynotemantras.com/ Book: Sticky Note Mantras: The Art and Science of Choosing Your Thoughts (available online) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch: Send me a message Check Podcast Shows & Be a Guest:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts Subscribe to Newsletter Join Community Our Services   Business Podcast Management Individual Podcast Management Share Your Story With the World Stay Tuned & Follow Us   Medium YouTube Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Page LinkedIn Twitter Pinterest Share Your Review   Leave a Google Review Submit a Video Testimonial #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #podcastepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success    

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with psychic medium and energy healer Shari Leigh Roberts about the transformative journey from trauma to empowerment. Shari shares how acknowledging victimhood is the first step toward reclaiming your power, and how trauma manifests not just in the mind, but in the body and energy field. Together, they explore the importance of facing pain instead of bypassing it, connecting with our spirit teams, and moving beyond survival into true healing. This conversation is raw, authentic, and filled with insights for anyone seeking to turn pain into purpose. About the Guest   Shari Leigh Roberts is a psychic medium and energy healer who guides people to heal trauma, reclaim power, and live with spiritual alignment. Drawing from her own lived experiences, Shari helps clients connect with their intuitive abilities and spirit teams to move beyond trauma and step into their true purpose. Learn more about her work at sharileighroberts.com. Key Takeaways   Acknowledging victimhood is the foundation for stepping into empowerment. Healing is not linear—blocks and resistance are part of the journey. Trauma often manifests physically (headaches, chronic illness) and energetically. Working with your spirit team helps you realize you are never truly alone. True healing is both a personal choice and a process of spiritual alignment. Transformation is possible when you embrace both the pain and the purpose behind it.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://shariroberts.org Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch – Send me a message here: PodMatch Host Profile Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patty Durell, founder of Rock Solid Fitness, and Daniel Hartshorn, co-founder of Flowgreens and ScentXpresso, to explore how technology, aromatherapy, and strength training are reshaping wellness in a high-stress, tech-driven world. From smart showers that transform daily routines into mindful rituals, to efficient resistance training that rebuilds energy and confidence for women in midlife, this conversation challenges outdated health myths and reframes what vitality truly looks like. Whether you're feeling stuck in burnout, curious about tech-powered healing, or seeking strength without overtraining, this episode offers practical, science-backed insights you can apply today. About the Guests   Patty Durell is a strength training expert and the creator of High Intensity SAFE™ Strength Training, a proven method that helps high-performing women regain strength, energy, and confidence with just two 25-minute sessions a week. She is also the founder of Rock Solid Fitness. Daniel Hartshorn is an entrepreneur and co-founder of ScentXpresso, a wellness technology company creating spa-like aromatherapy shower experiences to combat stress and burnout. With a background in scaling tech startups, Daniel now focuses on human-centered innovation for health and well-being. Key Takeaways   Strength training is not about doing more but about doing enough—properly applied resistance builds both physical and mental resilience. Many midlife women avoid lifting weights due to myths about injury or “bulking up,” but real results come from heavy resistance done safely. Smart aromatherapy rituals, such as Daniel's ScentXpresso, turn overlooked moments like a shower into powerful anchors for relaxation and mental reset. Scent is a primal sensory trigger tied to memory and emotion—using it intentionally can reduce stress and promote emotional stability. Rituals and boundaries—like nature walks, hugs, family breakfasts, or mindful exercise—help root us in balance amidst digital overload. Resistance training improves sleep, mood, hormonal balance, and self-worth, especially for women navigating menopause and midlife challenges. Both guests stress the importance of cultural reset: midlife is not “old age,” but an opportunity to strengthen body, mind, and daily habits. Wellness technology's future lies in combining hard data (like heart rate and blood pressure) with personal experiences of well-being for truly personalized care.   Connect with the Guests   Patty Durell: rocksolidfitnessfl.com | YouTube: Rock Solid Fitness FL Daniel Hartshorn: Instagram @scentxpresso | Kickstarter: Search “ScentXpresso” 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 CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management - Learn More Individual Podcast Management - Learn More Share Your Story With World - Learn More STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!   • Medium - https://medium.com/@contentbyavik• YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik• Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/• Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• Linkedin Page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik• LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/• Twitter - https://twitter.com/podhealthclub• Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Share your Google Review - Leave a Review Share a video Testimonial - Submit Here   #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #pdcastepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Jason VanDevere, entrepreneur, author of Dream Driven, and founder of GoalCrazy. Jason shares his story of walking away from a multi-million dollar family business to build his own path with just a vision, a journal, and relentless persistence. From selling over 40,000 planners to creating multiple income streams and now publishing his upcoming book, Jason opens up about the mental, emotional, and practical side of entrepreneurship. This conversation goes beyond success stories—it's about protecting mental health, finding balance, setting boundaries, and fueling your business with passion and systems that work. Whether you're in your first launch or scaling your fifth year, Jason's insights will help you design a business that supports your life not overtakes it. About the Guest   Jason VanDevere is an entrepreneur, podcast host, and creator of the GoalCrazy Planner. He has built a seven-figure business from scratch, manages a thriving real estate portfolio, and coaches others on designing a life that aligns with their deepest dreams. His new book, Dream Driven (launching September 9, 2025), guides readers through clarifying their vision and building businesses that make their dream lifestyles possible.   Website: goalcrazy.comBook: Dream Driven (available September 9, 2025, on Amazon) Key Takeaways   Balance is possible in entrepreneurship if you design your business around your desired lifestyle—not the other way around. Clarity of vision helps push through fear, doubt, and financial struggles in the early years. Dreams give goals meaning; without dreams, entrepreneurs often end up in “survival mode.” Journaling can help unload fears, clarify thoughts, and keep the mind available for focused work. Taking regular “mindset days” (full days off during the week) prevents burnout and sparks creativity. Passion fuels persistence, but systems and practical strategies make long-term success possible. Boundaries—like timers and fixed work hours—protect mental health and family life. Family commitments can drive productivity by limiting wasted time and forcing focus on high-value activities. Success isn't about building the biggest business; it's about building the life your business fits into.   Connect with the Guest   Website: goalcrazy.comFree PDF: goalcrazy.com/ideaBook: Dream Driven (Amazon, September 9, 2025)   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   CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management Individual Podcast Management Share Your Story With World STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!   Medium - https://medium.com/@contentbyavikYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavikInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn Page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavikLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/Twitter - https://twitter.com/podhealthclubPinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Share your Google Review Share a video Testimonial   #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #pdcastepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya sits down with Hussein Hallak, author of The Dark Art of Life Mastery, to unpack what it really means to live with clarity, courage, and authenticity. From his journey as a Syrian-born Canadian navigating war, migration, and reinvention, Hussein shares practical insights on mindfulness as a lived practice, not a buzzword. Together, they explore why clarity must start within, how discomfort signals growth, and why authenticity is about becoming yourself rather than simply being yourself. This conversation challenges you to stop waiting for permission and begin shaping life on your own terms—messy, imperfect, and fully alive. About the Guest   Hussein Hallak is a Syrian-born Canadian entrepreneur, writer, and mentor who has spent over two decades helping people make sense of chaos—whether in business, art, or everyday life. His book The Dark Art of Life Mastery offers a raw, honest perspective on stripping away illusions, reclaiming agency, and choosing courage over comfort. Key Takeaways   Clarity starts inward: being clear on values, purpose, and choices is more powerful than clarity about external events. Daily practice: asking “What matters most today?” can transform decision-making and create alignment. Growth requires discomfort: stepping outside comfort zones is where expansion and joy happen. Risk is part of life: the key is managing risks through small, intentional steps rather than avoiding them altogether. Authenticity isn't “being yourself” but choosing who you want to be in each moment, based on your principles. Consistency matters in values and principles, not in external appearances or rigid routines. Courageous living means acting even with fear present, trusting that clarity and direction emerge through action.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Katharina Huang—a former machine learning data scientist who left behind the corporate grind to create a slower, happier, and more intentional life. Katharina shares her journey of navigating burnout, caring for her family after her father's stroke, and ultimately reinventing herself as an indie author and puzzle-book creator. Together, they unpack what it means to pivot with purpose, the challenges of third-culture identity, and why joy, play, and presence are more important than the pursuit of endless success. This is a powerful conversation for anyone questioning the cost of hustle culture and searching for ways to reclaim autonomy, creativity, and well-being. About the Guest   Katharina Huang is the creator of Vegout Voyage, an adventure puzzle book series that blends travel, creativity, and play. Born in Germany, raised between the U.S. and Taiwan, and with research experience in Uganda and Tibet in exile, her multicultural background deeply informs her storytelling. After over a decade in tech, Katharina transitioned into authorship and entrepreneurship, championing mental health for third-culture kids and those navigating burnout. Learn more: vegoutvoyage.com Key Takeaways   Burnout can be a turning point, not the end of the story—Katharina rebuilt her life after leaving tech. Her father's stroke became a wake-up call about the fragility of waiting for “someday” to enjoy life. Success on paper doesn't always mean well-being; redefining success means prioritizing quality of life. Third-culture kids often carry silent struggles, but those experiences can also fuel empathy and creativity. Building a “lifestyle business” allows for autonomy, balance, and alignment between work and personal values. Humor and perspective—even in setbacks like Amazon blocking her Kindle version—help her keep moving forward. Slowing down is not giving up; it's a choice to live more fully and intentionally.   Connect with Katharina   Website: vegoutvoyage.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

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

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Redha Alayesh, a data-driven marketer and entrepreneur from Saudi Arabia, to break down the essentials of building a marketing department that actually fuels business growth. From startups to established companies, too many leaders still think marketing equals ads and flashy campaigns. Redha explains why success lies in building strong foundations—understanding customers, creating measurable strategies, and avoiding wasted budgets on vanity metrics. Listeners will learn how to move from guesswork to growth, why balancing creativity with analytics matters, and how to upskill teams for long-term retention and performance. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by marketing decisions or unsure of what actually works, this episode delivers clarity, structure, and practical insights. About the Guest   Redha Alayesh is a Saudi-based entrepreneur and marketer who has built ventures and advised top brands across the Middle East. With a focus on data-driven strategies, he helps companies transform marketing from scattered tactics into structured growth engines. Key Takeaways   Marketing success starts with customer understanding and clear journeys, not just ads. B2B and B2C companies require different marketing entry points—context matters. Collecting and using customer contact data is the first step to meaningful insights. Avoid vanity metrics (followers, likes) and focus on clarity metrics (leads, revenue, lifetime value). Experiment before scaling—don't overspend on one idea without testing. Balancing creativity and analytics is crucial; neither works in isolation. Upskilling marketing teams not only drives results but also increases employee retention. Following competitors or trends blindly often leads to wasted budgets—principles and data must guide decisions.   Connect with the Guest   You can learn more about Redha's work and insights by connecting with him on LinkedIn or exploring his consulting projects in marketing and growth across the Middle East via website.

Success isn't about building the biggest business; it's about building the life your business fits into.   Connect with the Guest   Website: goalcrazy.comFree PDF: goalcrazy.com/ideaBook: Dream Driven (Amazon, September 9, 2025) 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 CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management Individual Podcast Management Share Your Story With World STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!   Medium - https://medium.com/@contentbyavikYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavikInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn Page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavikLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/Twitter - https://twitter.com/podhealthclubPinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Share your Google Review Share a video Testimonial #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #pdcastepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success

In this transformative episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with two extraordinary guests whose work bridges the gap between science, empathy, and hands-on healing. Kiara McBain, creator of The Rubber Band Method and author of Hands-on Yoga Assists, shares how consent-based touch can become a powerful tool for nervous system regulation and trauma recovery. Dr. Alex Hilario, founder of Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source, reveals how holistic chiropractic care can help people avoid surgery, reduce chronic pain, and restore the body's natural healing capacity. From honoring personal boundaries in yoga to understanding the root causes of physical dysfunction, this conversation offers practical strategies for reconnecting with your body, reducing stress, and building resilience—whether you're recovering from trauma, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking a deeper mind-body connection. About the Guests   Kiara McBainYoga educator, trauma survivor, and creator of The Rubber Band Method—a consent-driven, anatomy-informed approach to hands-on yoga assists. Author of Hands-on Yoga Assists, she empowers teachers to use touch ethically and skillfully for nervous system regulation.Website: rubberbandmethod.com Dr. Alex HilarioChiropractor and founder of Chiropractic Rehabilitation Source in Yonkers, NY. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Hilario helps patients avoid invasive surgery and chronic medications through chiropractic care, acupuncture, and a holistic mind-body-spirit approach.Website: https://chirorehabsource.com/ Key Takeaways  : Consent in touch is essential for creating safety, especially in yoga and wellness spaces. The nervous system's state directly impacts overall health—regulated touch can help reduce stress hormones and increase oxytocin. Many people carry undisclosed trauma, making respectful consent crucial in any hands-on practice. Holistic chiropractic care addresses the root cause of pain by restoring spinal alignment and nervous system function. Healing is a process—quick fixes often mask symptoms without resolving the underlying issue. Quality of touch involves reading body cues and adjusting pressure based on individual needs. Chronic stress is often an upstream cause of multiple physical and mental health issues. Integrating safe, non-invasive practices like chiropractic, massage, yoga, and breathwork can accelerate recovery. Hope and belief in the body's capacity to heal are integral to the healing journey. Adults, like children, still need regular, healthy touch for emotional and physical well-being.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Dr. Whitney Wright—orthodontist, former Chief Clinical Officer of Reza's Dental & Braces, and bestselling author of Men Under Pressure. Together, they unpack the silent struggles men face with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the crushing expectations of masculinity. Dr. Wright shares his personal journey through debilitating panic attacks, the breaking point that forced him to stop, and the healing practices that brought laughter and life back to his home. This is a raw conversation about the stigma surrounding men's emotions, the dangers of silence, and how men can reclaim their health without shame. Whether you're a man navigating pressure or someone supporting a man you love, this conversation will shift how you see strength, vulnerability, and true wellness. About the Guest   Dr. Whitney Wright is a practising orthodontist, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and the bestselling author of Men Under Pressure. Drawing from his lived experience with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, he now speaks and writes about redefining strength, breaking stigma, and guiding men toward healthier lives. Learn more at menunderpressure.com. Key Takeaways   Silence around men's mental health is dangerous—unspoken pressure often leads to destructive coping mechanisms like addiction. Panic attacks forced Dr. Wright to face his limits, showing that ignoring mental health red flags has severe consequences. Healing begins with simple, non-negotiable steps: movement, self-care, and making time for wellness. Sharing openly with family, partners, and peers helps reduce shame and builds crucial support systems. Social media culture glamorizes wealth, power, and performance while hiding pain—real strength comes from honesty and balance. Wellness isn't about extremes like biohacking; it's about consistent care and showing yourself you matter. Healing has a ripple effect—when men care for their mental health, families regain connection, joy, and laughter. True masculinity includes vulnerability, compassion, and the courage to seek help.   Connect with the Guest   Website: menunderpressure.com Book: Men Under Pressure (available on Amazon – ebook, paperback, audiobook) Connect with him on socials available on his website Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana speaks with Alessandro Grampa, serial impact entrepreneur, Buddhist practitioner, and founder of Whole Grain Wisdom. Alessandro shares his journey of building companies, facing burnout, navigating neurodiversity, and transforming his mental and physical health through mindfulness, biohacking, and quantum science. The conversation uncovers why so many entrepreneurs silently battle trauma, panic attacks, imposter syndrome, and exhaustion—and why the startup ecosystem often ignores founder well-being. Alessandro introduces the idea of the Quantum Founder—leaders who integrate mind, body, and energy for sustainable success. He also shares insights from his retreats, where entrepreneurs learn to release trapped trauma, regulate energy, and rebuild from the inside out. This is a must-listen if you're an entrepreneur, founder, or leader who wants to avoid burnout and embrace clarity, alignment, and conscious leadership. About the Guest  : Alessandro Grampa is a serial impact entrepreneur, digital nomad, Buddhist practitioner, and founder of Whole Grain Wisdom. With over 11 years in startups, he now leads a mission to help founders integrate mental health, ancient wisdom, and quantum science into entrepreneurship. Whole Green Wisdom offers media, education, and retreats worldwide, with the next founder retreat scheduled in Thailand. Key Takeaways   Trauma is often the hidden root of burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome in entrepreneurs. 3 out of 4 entrepreneurs are neurodiverse, making mental health support essential, not optional. Entrepreneurship can trap founders in cycles of overwork and identity loss—learning to become the entrepreneur of yourself is the first step toward healing. Burnout is not just tiredness; it's the body shutting down and rejecting unsustainable patterns. Successful founders protect their mental, physical, and energetic health as their greatest asset. Quantum leadership means aligning the three intelligences—brain, heart, and gut—for clearer decisions and resilience. Ancient wisdom is now being validated by modern science: energy regulation, coherence, and intuition are measurable and powerful for leadership. Whole Grain Wisdom retreats offer practical tools to release trauma stored in the body and design energy-based routines for high performance.   Connect with Alessandro Grampa   Website: https://wholegrainwisdom.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandro-grampa/ Check upcoming retreats, including the Thailand event in November.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with holistic life coach and spiritual embodiment guide Samantha Kane of Roots Wings Wellness. Together, they explore the often-misunderstood world of emotional triggers and reveal how these difficult moments can actually serve as sacred invitations for growth. Instead of numbing, blaming, or avoiding, Samantha explains how to meet triggers with awareness, compassion, and grace. This episode offers practical tools for noticing emotional shifts, decoding hidden messages in reactions, and transforming defensiveness into self-understanding. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by emotions in relationships, social media, or daily stressors, this conversation will give you a new lens on how to rise above by going within. About the Guest   Samantha Kane is a certified holistic life coach and spiritual embodiment guide with nearly a decade of experience helping people break free from cycles of pain and reconnect with their higher selves. Her diverse background spans teaching, working in a psychic bookshop, and supporting wounded veterans. As the founder of Roots Wings Wellness, Samantha guides individuals through deep healing journeys, integrating awareness, nervous system regulation, and sacred embodiment practices. Key Takeaways   Triggers are not flaws but sacred messengers pointing toward unmet needs, suppressed emotions, or outdated beliefs. Self-awareness begins with noticing emotional shifts—sadness, anger, envy, or fear—and gently reflecting on their roots. Instead of bypassing discomfort, see triggers as an invitation to release shame, anger, or judgment and reconnect with your authentic self. Relationships often amplify triggers; consistent practice of noticing, breathing, and reflection helps transform these moments into growth. Healing isn't a one-time event—it's a lifelong practice of awareness and integration that deepens self-understanding over time. A simple tool: when triggered, pause, let your body relax, breathe deeply, and ask, “What is this showing me?” to reclaim your power.   Connect with the Guest   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rootswingswellness Website: www.rootswingswellness.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch: Send me a message here CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: Podcast Network Subscribe To Newsletter: Newsletter Join Community: Community OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management Individual Podcast Management Share Your Story With The World STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!   Medium YouTube Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Page LinkedIn Twitter Pinterest SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Leave a Google Review Share a Video Testimonial #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #podcastepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with entrepreneur, sales leader, and author Chris Capuano to explore the real meaning of cultivating a positive mindset. From growing up in a chaotic environment with addiction at home to building a seven-figure business, Chris shares how resilience, gratitude, and consistent action shaped his path. This conversation cuts through the noise of toxic positivity and quick-fix wellness hacks. Chris reveals how inner language, mindset shifts, and daily practices like gratitude can turn pain into fuel for growth. If you've ever felt stuck, burned out, or doubted your worth, this episode offers grounded, actionable insights to help you rewrite your story. About the Guest   Chris Capuano is the author of No Ceiling, No Excuses, an entrepreneur, and sales leader who transformed his life from odd jobs and setbacks to scaling a seven-figure business. Through his book and speaking, Chris helps others break through personal limits with mindset, action, and authenticity. Key Takeaways   Mindset is everything: focusing on gratitude and possibility helps you push past limits. Positive thinking alone is not enough—mindset must be paired with action to create real results. Small wins and affirmations can shift your outlook, but execution builds momentum. Childhood challenges and trauma can serve as fuel if reframed through resilience. Inner language—the way you talk to yourself—directly impacts your outlook and growth. Gratitude rituals, even for the basics, set a powerful tone for the day. A happy mindset is underrated when it's genuine and grounded in reality. Use setbacks as lessons and fuel for your next step instead of getting stuck in regret.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore how inner transformation leads to lasting outer success. Self-realization coach Florence Doisneau joins Avik to discuss how turning inward can dissolve burnout, boost confidence, and bring peace in both personal and professional life. Florence shares her journey from cycles of overwhelm to awakening through the 3 Principles framework and offers actionable insights on tuning into your intuition, discerning your ego from your core self, and why external strategies often fail without inner clarity. Whether you're feeling stuck or ready for deeper alignment, this conversation offers a path forward through self-awareness and grounded inner connection. This episode is a must-listen for professionals, wellness seekers, and anyone feeling disconnected or overwhelmed by life's noise. Tune in for inspiration, wisdom, and one simple daily practice that can change your mental and emotional well-being.   About the Guest – Florence Doisneau:Florence is a certified self-realization coach with over a decade of experience in the 3 Principles, Yoga, and NLP. She is the founder of Realization Hub and The Realization Catalyst program, where she guides people from simply surviving life to embracing it fully. Her work centers on helping individuals reconnect with their core selves for deeper peace, clarity, and joy.   Key Takeaways :Florence Doisneau emphasizes that true transformation begins within. She explains the difference between personal development and self-realization—where the former focuses on external skills, the latter is about unfolding your inner self. Florence shares how cycles of burnout led her to the 3 Principles and the profound insight that we are not our thoughts. By understanding this, people experience real relief and clarity. One powerful example shared was of a client who transformed a tense relationship with her sister—not by controlling the situation, but by changing how she listened and reacted. Florence reminds us that success, resilience, and fulfillment stem from aligning with our core self, not chasing perfection outside of us. She recommends starting the day by connecting to calm—whether through yoga, journaling, or stillness—before the mind races into tasks. Self-knowledge brings mental health and freedom by helping us disengage from unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with our natural peace. This episode provides both practical tools and deep perspective shifts for anyone seeking clarity, balance, and purpose.   Connect with Florence Doisneau:Website: https://realizeunlimited.com(‘Realize' with a Z) 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. Portia Preston—TEDx speaker, public health expert, professor, and author of Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go (releasing August 5). Together, they unpack the three pillars of shame-free wellness: hustle, flow, and letting go. Dr. Preston explains how hustle culture often disguises itself as ambition, how small daily practices can ground us in flow, and why releasing unrealistic expectations is key to real self-care. This episode goes beyond surface-level advice and offers a framework for cultivating sustainable wellness and building self-care communities that truly support us. About the Guest   Dr. Portia Preston is a two-time TEDx speaker, professor, executive coach, and public health expert with decades of experience at the CDC and in policy, leadership, and transformation. Her new book Hustle, Flow, or Let It Go blends her personal journey with practical strategies for cultivating well-being. She advocates for redefining productivity, embracing authenticity, and creating self-care communities. Key Takeaways   Hustle is not always a choice—it's often shaped by culture, survival needs, and internalized expectations. Purposeful ambition aligns with core values; toxic hustle erodes health and relationships. Flow is not mystical—it can be built through small daily practices of gratitude, awe, and presence. Letting go is not giving up—it's releasing perfectionism, shame, and internalized ableism. True wellness is not about going it alone—self-care requires trusted community and support. Self-worth is inherent like the sun—even when clouds (struggles, mistakes, or judgments) try to block it.

Can anxiety truly be healed naturally—and fast? In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore what it takes to reclaim peace of mind, energy, and soul alignment in just 45 days. Host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Dr. Shirley Piccarreto, a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author, and Greg Lee, founder of the Lyme Research & Healing Center, who combine their holistic, clinical, and spiritual insights into one healing blueprint. From hidden causes like mold, parasites, and gut issues to game-changing therapies like molecular hydrogen and emotional microcurrents, this episode uncovers what most doctors miss. Discover how daily rituals, breathwork, yoga, and divine healing practices can calm your nervous system, balance your hormones, and quiet the chaos within. If anxiety has left you feeling out of control, this conversation is your starting point to reclaim your power, naturally. About the Guests:Dr. Shirley Piccarreto is a Doctor of Naturopathy, bestselling author of Healthy, Lean, and Sexy at Any Age, and creator of the Wise Woman's Way. She helps women over 50 naturally restore hormonal balance, vitality, and mental peace using ancient practices and herbal remedies. Greg Lee is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and founder of the Lyme Research & Healing Center in Maryland. Formerly a NASA engineer, he now uses advanced diagnostic scanning, molecular hydrogen therapy, and Sufi healing to help people recover from chronic illness and anxiety. Key Takeaways : Anxiety often has physical roots, including hidden infections, gut-brain inflammation, mold toxicity, and hormone imbalances—not just emotional stress. Dr. Shirley shares how supporting adrenal glands and calming the nervous system through herbs, breathwork, and yoga can reverse anxiety naturally. Greg highlights the impact of environmental mold and neurotoxins on panic attacks and insomnia, often missed by conventional medicine. Molecular hydrogen therapy and frequency-specific microcurrents are effective for calming the brain, especially for patients with Lyme or mold exposure. Both experts emphasize the power of daily rituals, grounding, gratitude, and breath to rewire the nervous system and restore control. Anxiety doesn't have to take years to heal. With the right support, you can see noticeable change in just 30–45 days. Emotional handholding, clarity on root causes, and empowering clients to participate in their healing are key components of success.   Connect with the Guests:Dr. Shirley PiccarretoWebsite: drshirleysays.live/wiseFollow her for daily natural wellness tips on Facebook Greg LeeWebsite: www.lymeresearchcenter.comFree Guide: lymeresearchcenter.com/HEALTHYPhone (US): (301) 228-3764Community: Heal for Real Online Training Hub Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST: All 19 Podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES: Business Podcast Management – Learn More Individual Podcast Support – Explore Here Share Your Story – Submit Now STAY CONNECTED:• Medium – @contentbyavik• YouTube – @healthymindbyavik• Instagram – @healthyminds.pod• Facebook – Healthy Mind Podcast• LinkedIn Page – Healthy Mind By Avik• LinkedIn – Avik Chakraborty• Twitter – @podhealthclub• Pinterest – @Avikpodhealth SHARE YOUR REVIEW: Google Review – Leave a Review Video Testimonial – Submit Yours #podmatch #healthymind #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #MindfulnessMatters #NaturalHealing #AnxietyRelief #HormoneHealth #YogaTherapy #GutBrainConnection #AlternativeMedicine #HealingNaturally #ChronicIllnessSupport #SufiHealing #WomensHealth #LymeDiseaseRecovery #SelfCare #MeditationPractice #EssentialOils #MolecularHydrogen #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #trending #youtube #fyp #explore #tiktok #anxietyhealing #overcomeanxiety #mindbodysoul  

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana speaks with Sarah Stahl—marketing veteran, tourism leader, and entrepreneur—about the mental resilience required to take big risks and create meaningful change. Sarah shares her journey from a secure role as a DMO director to scaling a rural treehouse glamping resort from $200K to nearly $1M, and eventually launching her own business helping vacation rental owners build independent brands. This candid conversation dives deep into reframing fear, recognizing when security is a mirage, and learning to trust your gut. Sarah also shares practical mindset tools, including the life-changing principles from The Four Agreements, and how to navigate the uncertainty that comes with leaving comfort zones behind. Whether you're contemplating a career leap or facing a personal turning point, this episode will equip you with actionable insights to move forward with courage and clarity. *Note from the host - "In the beginning, I mistakenly mentioned that we need to be forearmed before forewarned. It should be forewarned is forearmed" About the Guest   Sarah Stahl is an entrepreneur, brand strategist, and former tourism director who has helped businesses—from local glamping resorts to vacation rental owners—grow with independence and sustainability. After 15 years in marketing and 7 years in tourism, she now focuses on empowering owners to thrive without third-party dependence. Her approach blends marketing expertise, life experience, and intuitive decision-making. Key Takeaways   True risk-taking is less about having a perfect plan and more about cultivating trust in yourself. Leaving a secure role can feel terrifying, but it can also unlock your greatest potential. Imposter syndrome is often the voice asking, “What if I fail?”—challenge it by taking action anyway. The Four Agreements—be impeccable with your word, don't take things personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best—are powerful mindset tools for resilience. Security in business or employment is often a mirage; real security comes from self-trust and adaptability. Surround yourself with a diverse community to expand perspective and practice empathy. Your energy—whether confident or fearful—shows up in your communication and relationships. Progress often comes from small, consistent steps rather than giant leaps.

Known as "The Pro Maker," Clance has spent over three decades transforming young athletes into champions across the NHL, NBA, MLB, MLS, CFL, and Olympic level.From the science of strength training to the unshakable discipline required to excel, Clance shares what truly separates the great from the good—both in sports and life. He opens up about overcoming a career-ending injury, why real coaching beats online gimmicks, how mindset can be built, and why durability matters as much as speed or power. This is a no-nonsense conversation on what it takes to win at the highest levels without losing sight of personal growth and character. About the Guest:Clance Laylor is one of only a handful of Master Strength Coaches in the world. Founder of LPS Athletic in Toronto, he has worked with top-tier athletes across professional leagues and the Olympics.

His philosophy blends science, culture, and mentorship to develop champions in sport and in life. Key Takeaways : Discipline + Consistency = Champion: True success comes from disciplined, daily micro-progressions, not occasional big efforts. Mindset Can Be Built: Surround yourself with the right culture, habits, and mentors to develop resilience and a “can't stop, won't stop” attitude. Beware Fitness Shortcuts: Real progress requires skilled coaching, not viral trends or copy-paste programs. Execution and adaptability matter. Durability is Power: Strength is the foundation of all athletic qualities, but injury prevention is equally critical for long-term performance. Turn Setbacks into Service: Clance's career-ending injury led him to build a legacy through coaching and mentorship. Focus on Your Craft: Avoid distractions and master what you're best at—excellence attracts opportunities. Measure Everything: If you don't track your performance, you can't prove you're improving.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Pragya sits down with Chris Brunelli, a multi-exit founder and the mind behind Surpass Solutions, to explore the raw truths of entrepreneurship beyond the headlines of big wins. Chris opens up about navigating failures, mastering fear, making tough pivots, and sustaining balance as both a founder and a parent. With over 20 years of experience scaling consumer packaged goods brands from 7 to 9 figures, he shares strategies for breaking through growth plateaus, building resilient teams, and redefining success over time. Whether you're a first-time founder or a seasoned business owner, this conversation delivers actionable insights and grounded wisdom to help you grow your business without losing yourself in the process. About the Guest:Chris Brunelli is a seasoned entrepreneur with six exits under his belt and over two decades in scaling consumer brands. As founder of Surpass Solutions, he helps companies unlock operational efficiency, strengthen retail strategies, and streamline supply chains. Known for his practical leadership approach and emphasis on mindset, Chris blends business acumen with a deep commitment to personal growth and balance. Key Takeaways: Setbacks are not roadblocks but essential lessons that shape future success. Managing fear requires awareness, disengagement from fight-or-flight mode, and focusing only on what's within your control. Strong business relationships are built on trust, especially during high-pressure moments. Parenting and entrepreneurship share the same foundations—listening, empathy, and balanced expectations. Guilt can be a teacher if processed quickly and acted upon without rumination. Growth stalls often happen when leaders rely on outdated thinking; constant learning and evolving leadership are crucial. Know when to double down and when to pivot by separating internal from external challenges. True success shifts over time—from financial milestones to gratitude, purpose, and team culture. A committed, values-driven team is a competitive advantage no competitor can replicate. Missionaries in your team will always outperform mercenaries driven only by money.   Connect with the Guest:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisb/ Website: https://surpass.biz/ 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 CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST: Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICESBusiness Podcast Management - https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/Individual Podcast Management - https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/Share Your Story With World - https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!Medium - https://medium.com/@contentbyavikYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavikInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn Page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavikLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/Twitter - https://twitter.com/podhealthclubPinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW Share your Google Review - https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Share a video Testimonial - https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/ #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost

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

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patty Durell, founder of Rock Solid Fitness, and Daniel Hartshorn, co-founder of Flowgreens and ScentXpresso, to explore how technology, aromatherapy, and strength training are reshaping wellness in a high-stress, tech-driven world. From smart showers that transform daily routines into mindful rituals, to efficient resistance training that rebuilds energy and confidence for women in midlife, this conversation challenges outdated health myths and reframes what vitality truly looks like. Whether you're feeling stuck in burnout, curious about tech-powered healing, or seeking strength without overtraining, this episode offers practical, science-backed insights you can apply today. About the Guests   Patty Durell is a strength training expert and the creator of High Intensity SAFE™ Strength Training, a proven method that helps high-performing women regain strength, energy, and confidence with just two 25-minute sessions a week. She is also the founder of Rock Solid Fitness. Daniel Hartshorn is an entrepreneur and co-founder of ScentXpresso, a wellness technology company creating spa-like aromatherapy shower experiences to combat stress and burnout. With a background in scaling tech startups, Daniel now focuses on human-centered innovation for health and well-being. Key Takeaways   Strength training is not about doing more but about doing enough—properly applied resistance builds both physical and mental resilience. Many midlife women avoid lifting weights due to myths about injury or “bulking up,” but real results come from heavy resistance done safely. Smart aromatherapy rituals, such as Daniel's ScentXpresso, turn overlooked moments like a shower into powerful anchors for relaxation and mental reset. Scent is a primal sensory trigger tied to memory and emotion—using it intentionally can reduce stress and promote emotional stability. Rituals and boundaries—like nature walks, hugs, family breakfasts, or mindful exercise—help root us in balance amidst digital overload. Resistance training improves sleep, mood, hormonal balance, and self-worth, especially for women navigating menopause and midlife challenges. Both guests stress the importance of cultural reset: midlife is not “old age,” but an opportunity to strengthen body, mind, and daily habits. Wellness technology's future lies in combining hard data (like heart rate and blood pressure) with personal experiences of well-being for truly personalized care.   Connect with the Guests   Patty Durell: rocksolidfitnessfl.com | YouTube: Rock Solid Fitness FL Daniel Hartshorn: Instagram @scentxpresso | Kickstarter: Search “ScentXpresso” 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 CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management - Learn More Individual Podcast Management - Learn More Share Your Story With World - Learn More STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!   • Medium - https://medium.com/@contentbyavik• YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik• Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/• Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• Linkedin Page - https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik• LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/• Twitter - https://twitter.com/podhealthclub• Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Share your Google Review - Leave a Review Share a video Testimonial - Submit Here   #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #pdcastepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we sit down with Michael Herbert—recovery coach, interventionist, and addiction counselor with over 35 years of experience—to explore the journey from substance addiction to a purpose-driven life. Michael shares raw insights on why recovery is more than just quitting—it's about crafting a life that's meaningful. From running 137 miles through the Sahara to building schools in Ethiopia, his story proves that healing can be powerful, bold, and deeply personal. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration to make real change, this episode offers practical wisdom and motivation. This conversation is a must-listen for those navigating addiction, mental health, self-discovery, or seeking a deeper purpose. Perfect for audiences on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn looking for real stories of transformation and grit. About the GuestMichael Herbert is a seasoned addiction counselor, interventionist, and author of the upcoming book The Recovery Roadmap: A Guide to Freedom and Adventure (releasing September 2). With a career spanning correctional facilities to private coaching, Michael has helped countless individuals and families heal. His philosophy? Recovery isn't just abstinence—it's building a life you love. Key Takeaways Recovery starts with abstinence but doesn't end there—it's about discovering who you are without substances. The first 9 months of sobriety are a phase of discovery, not recovery. Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all: fitness, travel, yoga, journaling, and service work are part of Michael's toolkit—but you must find what works for you. Michael ran 137 miles across the Sahara Desert in Tevas, proving the power of mindset in pushing beyond limits. He encourages reframing success through spiritual flexibility, openness, and inner growth rather than external achievement. Relapse prevention starts with structure, self-trust, and community—don't go it alone. True change comes when we take radical responsibility for our own healing journey and prepare ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually for life's opportunities.   Connect with the Guest Instagram / LinkedIn / Facebook: Michael Herbert Email: coachmichaelherbert@gmail.com Website: africanhopefulhorizons.org Book Release: The Recovery Roadmap - Launching September 2 Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch:DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES Business Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US Medium: https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/podhealthclub Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW Google Review: https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Video Testimonial (featured on website): https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/ Tags #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionRecovery #SoberLiving #MindfulnessMatters #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #mentalhealth #wellness #traumahealing #healingjourney #fyp #foryoupage #youtube #spotify #motivation #inspiration #podcastinglife #fitnessandhealing #MichaelHerbert #RecoveryRoadmap #adventuretherapy #ultramarathon #SaharaRun #sobrietyjourney #spiritualgrowth #healingtools  

With the start of the school year, we are dedicating this month's episode to the teen mental health crisis in the U.S. According to a recent survey, nearly one in five teenagers has a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition – leaving parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends – searching for ways to support the mental health of the teens in their lives.

When you recognize anxiety, you can navigate it and transform your life from emotional chaos to joy, peace, and purpose. In today's complex world, understanding our mental health is crucial. Feeling anxious or overwhelmed is common, but managing these emotions leads to a happier, healthier, and kinder life. The first step in this transformative journey is to recognize anxiety. Recognize Anxiety for Mental Wellness To truly address anxiety, we must first recognize it. When we bring awareness to our feelings, we can identify triggers and decide how to respond. Often, we operate in a reactive state, which can result in unkind actions towards ourselves and others. Recognizing anxiety helps shift from automatic reactions to thoughtful actions. The Importance of Allowing Feelings Recognizing anxiety is only part of the solution. Allowing yourself to experience these feelings without judgment is crucial. By simply acknowledging anxiety, you reduce its power. Accept it as a temporary state rather than a definition of who you are. Investigate the Roots of Anxiety Once you've recognized and allowed the anxiety, delve into understanding its origins. Ask yourself when these feelings arise and in what situations they are most intense. This investigation is central to therapy and helps uncover the links between past experiences and current emotions. Nourish and Empower Yourself After identifying the source of your anxiety, it's time to nurture yourself. Simple actions, such as breathing exercises, doodling, or engaging in creative activities, can significantly reduce anxiety. These practices foster a calmer state of mind and promote more kind interactions. There are many ways to regulate and reset your nervous system to reduce anxiety.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the vital intersection of nutrition, trauma, and mental health with Dr. Bhargav Patel—psychiatrist, trauma researcher at Brown University, AI strategist, and CEO of Mypeak. Dr. Patel unpacks the often-overlooked link between food and mood, explains how trauma impacts the body and brain, and shares a 4-step framework to transform pain into growth. From Ayurvedic wisdom to cutting-edge AI tools in psychiatry, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone seeking deeper healing and sustained resilience. About the Guest:Dr. Bhargav Patel is a multifaceted leader shaping the future of mental health. He serves as a psychiatrist and trauma researcher at Brown University, leads Mypeak—an award-winning health optimization company—and is a clinical AI strategist. He blends ancient wisdom with modern science to advance trauma recovery, nutritional psychiatry, and tech-enabled mental wellness. His upcoming book The Trauma Transformed explores healing and post-traumatic growth. Key Takeaways: The connection between nutrition and mental health dates back to Ayurveda and is now resurfacing in modern psychiatry. Trauma and PTSD are distinct; only a small percentage of trauma cases develop into PTSD. Healing requires processing trauma, activating brain plasticity, creating overriding experiences, and finding meaning. AI can augment, not replace, mental health care—enhancing access while maintaining ethical guardrails. Peak performance should follow healing, not bypass it. Optimization and deep recovery can coexist on a spectrum. Nature, stillness, and personalized nutrition are future pillars of holistic leadership and mental health.   Connect with Dr. Bhargav Patel: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhargav-b-patel    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avikTune in to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavikSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/Join the 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 #MentalHealthAwareness #NutritionAndHealing #TraumaRecovery #AIInHealthcare #PostTraumaticGrowth #ConsciousLiving #MindBodyConnection #PodcastLife #VoicesOfUnity

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we sit down with Nicole Baxter—interior designer, speaker, and pioneer of neuroaesthetic-based residential design. Nicole introduces us to a powerful idea: our homes are not just physical spaces, they are emotional containers that shape our well-being. From childhood memories to trauma-informed design, Nicole reveals how subtle environmental cues—from clutter to lighting to colors—impact our nervous system and emotional safety. Discover how to evaluate your own space, build resilience through your surroundings, and start viewing home as a tool for healing and emotional regulation. About the Guest:Nicole Baxter is the founder of the Emotional Home framework, the first neuroaesthetics-driven model that integrates design, psychology, and trauma-informed care. With over 30 years in the high-end design world, Nicole now focuses on creating homes that support healing. Her work connects environment, family systems, and personal psychology to redefine what feeling at home truly means. Key Takeaways: Your environment is part of your mental health—it speaks to your nervous system even when you don't realize it. Nicole's Emotional Home Framework links environment, family, and psychology to create comfort, resilience, and safety. Trauma-informed design is growing—helping people use their living spaces as a path to healing. You don't need luxury—just intentional design that reflects safety, memory, and personal meaning. Small sensory elements like light, color, texture, and even metals can positively shift your inner state.
