Podcasts about healthy minds

In this empowering episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty brings together two remarkable voices of transformation — Antoinette Lee, a U.S. Army veteran, author, and adventure sports influencer, and Trea (Asher) Drake, a Krav Maga black belt instructor, mindfulness coach, and breathwork expert. Together, they explore how breathing and meditation can unlock inner strength, emotional balance, and clarity in the most challenging times. From overcoming trauma and rebuilding life after brain and spine injury to using nature as medicine, this episode dives deep into the science and soul of resilience.   Listeners will discover: How to use breathwork and mindfulness to manage your nervous system and emotions Why time in nature is more than therapy — it's a biological necessity What it means to consciously create your “new normal” after crisis And how calmness, courage, and intention can co-exist even in moments of chaos. If you're seeking inspiration to start again, heal deeply, or find peace through stillness, this episode will remind you that flourishing isn't about perfection — it's about presence and choice.   About the Guests  : Antoinette Lee:A decorated U.S. Army veteran, former tech CEO, and survivor of a traumatic brain and spine injury, Antoinette's journey from the brink of death to becoming a motivational speaker and outdoor adventure athlete is awe-inspiring. As the author of Four Hours to Live and founder of New Normal Big Life (NNBL.blog), she empowers others to redefine their limits and create a fulfilling “new normal.”   Trea (Asher) Drake:With a Master's in Education and nearly two decades in behavioral analysis, Trea has dedicated his life to helping others master resilience through martial arts, breathwork, and mindfulness. As a certified Krav Maga black belt, meditation trainer, and expert in intentional communication, he teaches how to rewire the nervous system for calm strength and conscious living.   Key Takeaways : Conscious breathing isn't just survival — it's the remote control of your brain and body. Healing begins when you stop asking “Why me?” and start asking “What's next?” The nervous system is the gateway to resilience — mastering your breath helps regulate emotions and decisions. Nature's “medicine” (like phytoncides from trees) reduces stress, boosts immunity, and improves sleep. True mindfulness happens in daily life — five mindful seconds a hundred times a day creates transformation. When overwhelmed, ask: “What am I afraid of?” or “What can I control?” to return to center. Healing isn't passive; it's intentional courage — choosing calm, breath, and small daily steps forward. Outdoor adventures and nature immersion restore emotional clarity, courage, and spiritual connection.   Connect with the Guests   Antoinette Lee:Website: New Normal Big Life's WebsitePodcast: New Normal Big Life (available on all major platforms)X (Twitter): https://x.com/NNBLBlog   Trea (Asher) Drake:  Website:nervousapes.comInstagram and Facebook:@treakravhouston Follow him for breathwork and mindfulness programs.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?  DM on PodMatch — Send a message to Avik ChakrabortyDM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer:This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

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

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

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

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

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Daniel Tausan (founder, Timeline Sciences; stem-cell biology, UBC; former Canadian National Water Polo athlete) to challenge quick-fix health culture. Daniel explains why rebuilding health starts at the foundation—habits, movement, and precise language—rather than supplements or shortcuts. We get into interpreting bloodwork for everyday people vs. trained bodies, how to train for longevity (not just performance), and why pain is a signal to engage with—not numb. If you want a direct, science-grounded path to durable health, this conversation delivers practical clarity you can use today.   About the guest  : Daniel Tausan is the founder of Timeline Sciences. With a background in stem cell biology and predictive health analytics, and experience as an athlete and coach, he helps people align actions with biology to build resilient, long-term health.   Key takeaways: Health rebuilds from fundamentals: daily choices that align biology, mindset, and context—not surface fixes. Early asthma, allergies, and gut issues pushed Daniel to study regeneration and physiology through practice, not theory alone. Modern exposure and information overload make clarity essential; use science to navigate, not to chase trends. Pain is data. Don't rush to numb it; investigate and act so it can guide repair. Movement is the “human tax.” Train for a lower resting heart rate, better lung capacity, and elastic neuromuscular patterning for quality longevity. Read labs in context: civilian, health-challenged, or trained/resilient bodies live in different physiological ranges. You don't need an athlete's mindset to be healthy. Favor honest feedback, sustainability, and enjoyment to prevent injury and promote adherence. Precise language shapes mindset and outcomes. Define what you mean by “science,” “spirituality,” and “health” to choose better actions. Genes are rarely destiny for most people; many outcomes are modifiable through behavior and environment. Think in multi-year arcs. Periodize effort, keep it fun, and get social or coaching support when motivation dips.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://timelinesciences.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM - Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

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

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

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

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Paul Tembunde—business executive, transformation coach, and co-founder of Premier Destiny. From humble beginnings as immigrants to building a thriving home care business on a credit card advance, Paul and his wife prove that purpose and mindset can outwork any resource. This powerful conversation dives into the themes of purpose, personal growth, overcoming adversity, and reprogramming failure into opportunity. Paul also shares his awakening under the mentorship of Bob Proctor and how a growth mindset became the cornerstone of his leadership and life philosophy. About the Guest:Paul Tembunde is a mindset and transformation expert who co-founded Premier Destiny, a company helping individuals unlock their potential through inner development. He and his wife bootstrapped a successful home care agency and now coach others to live with purpose and resilience. His journey from financial struggle to entrepreneurial success is rooted in deep faith, personal growth, and service. Key Takeaways: You don't need experience to start—just clarity of purpose and the willingness to act. Failure isn't final. It's feedback. True transformation begins with mindset—not money, tools, or background. Life is abundant, and success lies in how we choose to see and respond to challenges. Building a fulfilled life starts with making one intentional decision and doing the inner work to back it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In this power-packed episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Bogdan Rosu—martial artist, leadership coach, and host of the Stories from Your Future Self podcast. Bogdan shares how ancient martial arts principles fuel modern leadership breakthroughs without compromising freedom or well-being. From redefining resilience through Bruce Lee's philosophy of “being like water” to breaking down burnout myths, this conversation explores the mindset shifts needed for self-leadership, adaptability, and identity evolution. If you're a leader or entrepreneur seeking clarity, power, and sustainability in your growth—this is a must-listen. About the Guest:Bogdan Rosu is a leadership coach and martial arts expert based in Romania. He is the creator of the world's first personal development through martial arts program and the upcoming book Greatness and Mastery.

Key Takeaways: True resilience is adaptability, not overexertion—“Be like water” isn't just metaphorical, it's strategic. Your biggest weakness may become your greatest strength in the right environment. Burnout often comes from playing roles that no longer serve your evolution—identity shifts are part of growth. Leadership means empowering others, not over-parenting your team or business. You're never too old—or too successful—to keep learning and transforming.

They discuss how our nervous system shapes who we're drawn to, why recognizing dating patterns is the first step toward healing, and how to create authentic, grounded relationships. From attachment theory to swiping fatigue, Amber shares actionable strategies to help you date with self-awareness, intention, and emotional integrity. If you're tired of surface-level connections and want to shift toward conscious love, this episode is for you.

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

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

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by internationally recognized coach and speaker Camilla Calberg, founder of the Authentic Leadership Movement. Together, they explore the power of emotional regulation, self-awareness, and nervous system calm as tools to move from victimhood to resilience. Camilla shares how to break free from self-limiting beliefs, reframe stress, and regulate emotions without suppressing them. From practical strategies like thought-dumping before bed to deeper insights on choosing how we show up, this conversation offers listeners a grounded path toward inner freedom, clarity, and authentic leadership. Whether you're navigating stress at work, emotional overwhelm, or cycles of self-doubt, this episode provides actionable tools and fresh perspectives to remind you: you are not your thoughts. About the Guest  : Camilla Calberg is a transformational coach, international speaker, and founder of the Authentic Leadership Movement. She has led multi-million-dollar transformation programs for Fortune 500 companies and guided hundreds of women into soul-aligned careers and leadership roles. Drawing from her personal journey of overcoming psychological abuse and rebuilding her life, Camilla empowers others to turn pain into power using her 3I Framework—Influence, Innovate, Inspire. Key Takeaways  : Your thoughts are not your identity—practice curiosity about the stories you tell yourself. Emotional regulation is about allowing feelings to move through you, not suppressing them. Stress often comes from giving power away; reframing language can calm the nervous system. Journaling or “thought-dumping” before bed is a simple practice to improve sleep and mental clarity. Choosing empowering “I am” statements (I am abundant, I am enough) helps rewire self-perception. Seeing others as souls beyond titles can reduce friction in conversations and relationships. Building a deeper relationship with yourself creates generational healing and legacy. Emotional resilience is developed through practice—awareness, curiosity, and conscious choice.   Connect with the Guest   Website: camillacalberg.com LinkedIn: Camilla Calberg Instagram: @camillacalberg YouTube: Camilla Calberg Free Resource: 7-Day Belief Challenge (available on her website) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch: Send me a message Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with David Mestemaker—a trial lawyer turned novelist—about the twenty-year journey behind his gripping spy thriller, The Bomb Quest. From a dream that sparked the story to the discipline of daily meditation that fueled its completion, David shares how resilience, imagination, and inner peace shaped his writing. Listeners will gain insight into the creative process, balancing passion with discipline, and the deeper human truths woven into a page-turning thriller. This conversation is about more than writing a novel—it's about staying true to a vision, using meditation as an anchor, and pursuing one's own quest, whether personal or professional. About the Guest  : David Mestemaker is a Houston-based trial lawyer and novelist. His debut thriller, The Bomb Quest, blends espionage, history, and human conflict into a high-stakes story of survival and meaning. David balances his demanding legal career with a lifelong practice of meditation, which he credits as the foundation for both his personal peace and creative discipline. Key Takeaways:   A vivid dream inspired The Bomb Quest and became a 20-year creative journey. Meditation provided the discipline and resilience needed to balance law and writing. Writing demanded as much persistence as passion—14+ hours a week in addition to full-time work. The novel intertwines multiple timeframes and characters, exploring both action and deep human truths. David views storytelling not just as entertainment, but as a mirror to humanity's struggles and resilience. He encourages listeners to pursue their own “quests,” whether internal or external, with courage and consistency. His advice: look inward honestly, find your refuge, and manifest the dreams you've been putting aside.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Sana speaks with Clara Schroeder, ecotherapist, resilience trainer, and author of the upcoming book Re-Nature. Clara shares her journey of healing after a traumatic brain injury and how nature became her greatest teacher. Together, they explore how reconnecting with the natural world fosters emotional balance, builds resilience, and offers accessible practices—even for city dwellers with limited green space. From the power of visualization and sensory rituals to the importance of community climate conversations, this episode invites you to rediscover your place in the larger web of life. About the Guest  : Clara Schroeder holds a master's degree in psychology from Columbia University and certifications in ecotherapy and resilience training. She has worked with leaders, first responders, and global communities at the intersection of mental health and climate well-being. Her upcoming book Re-Nature blends science, storytelling, and practical tools to help individuals and communities thrive by reconnecting with the earth. Key Takeaways  : Resilience is not about force but about flow, regeneration, and adaptability—just like nature. Simple daily practices, such as noticing five things with your senses or creating a “good morning ritual,” reconnect us with nature even in urban settings. Guided visualization can shift our mood and regulate the nervous system, offering a sense of belonging to the natural world. Community support, including spaces like climate cafés, plays a crucial role in processing climate grief and building collective resilience.

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

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

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

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

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Joanna Blair, an artist and creative guide who helps people reconnect with themselves through the power of art, imagination, and self-expression.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, we explore the deep intersection of gut health, cardiac coherence, and nervous system transformation through two very different yet profoundly aligned lenses. Functional Medicine Health Coach Angie Gallagher breaks down the myths around cholesterol and heart disease, while Energy Priestess and veteran Susannah Rose Stokes unveils the emotional frequencies stored in the body—and how psilocybin-assisted ceremonies help release them. Together, they unpack the “three minds” of the body: gut, heart, and brain, and how breathwork, intuition, and inner stillness pave the way for true transformation. About the Guests:Angie Gallagher is a National Board-Certified Functional Medicine Coach with 25+ years in cardiac rehab. She bridges Western protocols with root-cause healing, specializing in metabolic and emotional health via the heart-gut-brain connection.Susannah Rose Stokes is a Marine veteran turned transformational guide and co-founder of Embodied Metamorphosis. Her work blends sacred plant medicine with somatic healing, activating deep nervous system repair and energetic integration.   Key Takeaways: Cholesterol is often scapegoated; inflammation and metabolic dysfunction are deeper culprits in heart disease. The gut-heart-brain axis operates as an intelligent, energetic ecosystem—not isolated systems. Psychedelics like psilocybin can support nervous system repair when used ceremonially. Breathwork is the first step to self-regulation and intuitive reconnection. True resilience requires spiritual surrender and metabolic awareness, not just behavior change.

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

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

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

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

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

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