On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kyra Faison Gardner—certified transformational life & retirement coach, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and founder of Prospect & Refuge Life—about “threshold alchemy”: using life transitions (midlife shifts, retirement, loss, reinvention) to create purpose. Kyra unpacks practical rituals (silence at sunrise, gratitude journaling, mindful community) and a direct message: you don't need permission to change direction. This episode is built for listeners seeking midlife reinvention, post-career identity, spiritual grounding, and daily practices that stick.   About the Guest:   Kyra Faison Gardner is a transformational life & retirement coach and author of Who Do You Think You Are? After more than 20 years as a founder/CEO—and rebuilding after a devastating house fire—she now helps people in their second and third acts redesign life with intention through Prospect & Refuge Life.   Key Takeaways: Threshold alchemy defined: transform uncertain life stages into meaningful new chapters by reframing identity beyond roles and titles. Identity ≠ job: you are not your career, marital status, or parental role; reinvention starts when you expand who you believe you are. Rituals over routines: morning silence, sunrise, brief meditation, and gratitude journaling stabilize mood and sharpen purpose. Body-markers for intention: simple anchors (remove shoes, anoint hands/feet, light a candle) signal your nervous system it's time to focus. Community matters: find cohorts or circles that see your current self and support who you're becoming. Permission slip: you already have permission to be happy, change your mind, and pursue long-delayed curiosities. Spiritual flexibility: you don't need the “right” label for the sacred; name it how it resonates and keep going. Micro-choices win: small, repeatable acts (feed the birds, a poem, one page of writing) accumulate into identity change. From trauma to truth: healing isn't linear; honest writing and coaching help you share without losing peace. Aging as expansion: retirement and midlife aren't endings—they're invitations to create, learn, and serve.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.prospectrefugelife.com/ Substack: Seeking Prospect & Refuge (poetry, blessings, essays)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Transitions are never easy — whether it's moving across the world or simply adjusting to the everyday shifts of family life. In this episode, I open up about how my family is navigating a major transition and what it's teaching me about change, resilience, and holding space for one another.If you're in a season of transition — big or small — this conversation will encourage you to slow down, honor your own process, and remember that there's no one right way to move through change.

We often talk about strategy, charisma, and competence when we talk about leadership. But what about character? In this powerful solo episode, Janet Ioli dives into the often-ignored foundation of true leadership—character—and why it's time we bring it back into focus.Through honest reflection and real-world observation, Janet explores how our collective erosion of respect, honesty, and decency has created a crisis of leadership. She challenges us to look inward and asks a question every leader should sit with: Who are we becoming?This conversation is an invitation to pause, recalibrate, and recommit to leading with integrity—not just in titles or organizations, but in how we show up as human beings.In this episode:✅ Why character has quietly disappeared from leadership conversations✅ The difference between charisma and true integrity✅ How modern culture rewards “winning” over doing what's right✅ Why arrogance and disrespect are disguised as righteousness✅ The role of fear, ego, and power in our leadership choices✅ How to recenter character as an expectation in leadership✅ Simple, everyday ways to demonstrate character in action✅ Why leading with decency, humility, and honesty is the ultimate edgeAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul. Through her keynotes, podcast, and programs, Janet helps high-achievers find the one thing that changes everything: the mastery within.Her approach redefines leadership presence—not as polish or tactics, but as the inner steadiness people feel from you and the positive imprint you leave on individuals and organizations.Connect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @leadershipcoachjanetIf you want to become more grounded, confident, and aligned with your deeper values in just 21 days, check out Janet Ioli's book Less Ego, More Soul: A Modern Reinvention Guide for Women.

“Be more concerned about your character than your reputation, because character is really what you are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” John WoodenCharacter is who you are at your core—and that affects everything else in your life. It's not just about being a “good person,” but about being the kind of person who adds value, stands firm in difficulty, and lives with purpose. In this episode, Debi shares the essentials of character:How it guides your decisionsWhy is it the catalyst to build respect and trustHow it creates inner strength and resilienceHow it impacts your legacy CONNECT WITH DEBIDo you feel stuck?  Do you sense it's time for a change, but are unsure where to start or how to move forward? Schedule a clarity call!Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/debironca/free-clarity-callWebsite – https://www.debironca.comInstagram - @debironcaEmail – info@debironca.com Check out my online course!Your Story's Changing, Finding Purpose in Life's Transitionshttps://course.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/8-week-programThe Family Letter by Debi Ronca – International Best Sellerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSJFXBD

Are your relationships built on conscious connection—or silent assumptions?Most couples, parents, and even leaders don't realize they're operating on unspoken rules and old programming that quietly sabotage communication, intimacy, and trust.So how do we break free from those reactive patterns and build relationships that actually grow with us?In this episode, host Matt Beaudreau sits down with Michael Ostrolenk, a Master Coach in Resilience, Leadership, and Elite Performance with over three decades of experience guiding high-achieving individuals, couples, and teams. A former Director of Human Resilience at Apeiron Zoh and co-creator of SEALFIT's Unbeatable Mind Academy, Michael integrates psychology, physiology, and spiritual development to create holistic transformation. Through his groundbreaking Relationship Dojo framework, he helps couples cultivate conscious communication, emotional safety, and co-evolution in love and partnership.Whether you're a spouse, a parent, or a leader, this conversation will challenge you to slow down, tune in, and start creating relationships with awareness instead of habit.Listen now and learn how to move from “me vs. you” to “we're in this together.”Quotes:"It's not enough just to have conscious agreements. You actually have to have the capability of embodying those agreements." "If I can impart anything with all my people, I work with a much more playful attitude to life. Even when life conditions are really hard and challenging, we have one of two options: we can fall back to our level of training, or we can evolve ourselves to be much more playful." "Self-awareness is key—what you need, want, and desire, you need to express in a healthy, useful way, and then have a conversation around it." Actionable Takeaways:Audit Your Unspoken Rules: Reflect on what “unwritten agreements” exist in your relationship or family. Which habits or assumptions are you still following from your upbringing that no longer serve you?Create One Conscious Agreement: Sit down with your partner or team and intentionally redefine how you'll handle a recurring challenge—whether it's communication, money, or conflict. Make it clear, mutual, and revisited regularly.Practice Co-Regulation Daily: The next time tension rises, pause. Make eye contact, breathe together, or simply place a hand on your partner's heart. Regulate before you respond.Optimize Your Human System: Track your sleep, nutrition, and stress this week. Notice how your physical energy affects your patience, empathy, and ability to connect with others.Shift from “Me” to “We”: Before your next disagreement, ask yourself, “How can we solve this together?”—not “How can I win?” This simple reframe can transform your relationship dynamic over time.Conclusion:True connection isn't built through perfect communication—it's built through awareness, intention, and growth. As Michael Ostrolenk reminds us, thriving relationships require continuous excavation, conscious agreements, and the willingness to evolve together. When we learn to regulate ourselves, support our partners, and approach life with curiosity and playfulness, we move from reacting out of habit to responding with purpose.Start small. Have one intentional conversation, take one deep breath before you respond, and watch how even the smallest shifts can transform your relationship—and yourself.

A tender question sits at the center of this conversation: what happens when we trust the heart more than the plan? We follow that thread through three original readings from Revelations of the Sky and into the lived terrain of starting over, moving from Alaska to Kauai, and rebuilding identity with fewer titles and more truth. Along the way, we challenge the myth of a single calling, exploring purpose as plural—something we practice in small daily choices, not just in big career moves—and invite permission to experiment with language, work, and self-expression.We talk openly about grief as a beginning rather than an end point: the catalyst that widened the path to spirituality, intuition, and creative risk. If you identify as sensitive or empathic, you'll hear a reframe you might need today: feeling deeply is not a flaw to fix but a strength to master. That intensity can hurt, but it also heals—it's the same openness that lets joy register in bright color and makes meaning easier to find in ordinary moments. From that place, wisdom becomes less theoretical and more embodied, tempered by trial, mistake, and the quiet kind of courage that accrues over time.The final movement is a call to be seen. Not as a performance, but as an act of alignment—peeling back old skins, integrating professional expertise with spiritual gifts, and allowing your voice to carry the life you've actually lived. Trust here isn't a leap into nothing; it's a series of grounded steps toward what feels alive. If you've been waiting for permission to shine, consider this your gentle green light. Listen, reflect, and then tell us: where is your heart asking you to go next? If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more seekers can find their way here.Tune in next week for a new episode to support and empower your light--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

What if the real work of women in leadership isn't about playing the part, but rewriting the entire script?In this solo episode, Janet explores the deep inner tension that women leaders experience as they navigate cultural expectations of femininity and leadership strength. Through her own story of being cast as Aphrodite instead of Athena in a childhood play, Janet uncovers how these archetypes still shape women's experiences at work today.Drawing from her decades of research and personal reflection, she invites us to question the archetypes we've inherited, and to imagine new models of authentic, integrated leadership.In this episode:✅ Why traditional leadership roles weren't designed with women in mind✅ How cultural archetypes still shape how women lead and are perceived✅ The inner tension between being “feminine” and being “strong”✅ The story of Aphrodite and Athena—and what it reveals about modern leadership✅ Why awareness of “role tension” is the first step toward authentic integration✅ How cultural scripts—not personal inadequacy—fuel self-doubt✅ The call for new leadership archetypes that blend wisdom and compassion✅ What it means to create your own authentic model of leadershipAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

When the Seasons Change, So Do We Do you ever notice how the air shifts right before a new season begins? The light feels different, the silence between moments gets louder… and suddenly, you realize, you've changed too. It's not just the weather. It's a mirror. Every autumn, every spring, nature's reminding us: nothing blooms forever, and nothing stays barren forever either. We talk so much about growth, but real growth? It's cyclical. It has endings. Inner growth isn't about constant positivity or progress, it's about honoring the death of an old version of you so a truer one can take root. Just like trees shedding leaves to survive winter, we have to let go of what can't come with us into the next chapter. This isn't loss, it's renewal. Because what we resist releasing… rots. But here's the problem, most of us fight the fall (pun intended!)  We cling to relationships past their season, careers we've outgrown, habits that once protected us but now suffocate us. Why? Because stillness scares us. We confuse silence for failure, when it's actually the soil recharging. Winter isn't punishment,  it's preparation. If you're in a season of confusion right now, maybe things feel like they're falling apart,  don't rush it. Nature never rushes, yet everything gets done. Your life has seasons because your soul does too. This fall, don't just watch the leaves change, let something in you die that's ready to go. And when spring comes, it won't just be flowers blooming,  it'll be you : ) So today, take a walk. Feel the shift. Ask yourself: What season am I really in? And what's ready to fall away… so something better can grow? Thank you for tuning in.   Peace and love always, Amber xoxo          

Change can feel both exciting and overwhelming at the same time.  In this episode, Kelley & Taylor are sharing their real life journeys through major life transitions: Kelley becoming an empty nester, and Taylor moving into a studio apartment alone.  They unpack why change feels so hard, how to invite God into the process, and practical ways to walk through new seasons without fear.

That was me trying to control something I couldn't control because I was scared.You'll journal through:What's actually keeping you up at night about this transition (hint: it's probably not what you think)The sneaky ways you're trying to make change feel "safer"What you're most afraid would happen if you just... let it unfoldYour personal pattern when things feel uncertainPlus: The reframe that changed everything - what if your discomfort isn't a problem to fix but information about what you actually need right now?Journaling Prompts from this episode:What specific part of this transition is making you feel the most anxious or unsettled right now?

He also discusses how he has adjusted to life in Los Angeles as a new husband after getting married a couple months ago and gives his thoughts on who is the team's best bowler.

Hey friends!  I'm so delighted to be back with another episode of the podcast, this time with a very longtime friend of mine:  Dr. Jenn Salib Huber. Dr. Jenn is a Canadian Registered Dietitian, Naturopathic Doctor and Intuitive Eating Counselor on a mission to help women manage menopause without diets and food rules. She supports women through the physical and emotional shifts of perimenopause and menopause using a Health at Every Size approach, intuitive eating, and practical nutrition. Jenn hosts The Midlife Feast podcast and community, and is the author of the upcoming book Eat to Thrive During Menopause, out October 21, 2025. I first met Jenn over a decade ago, when she supported me and my family with some really scary food allergies that my kiddos were having.  Our paths crossed again as I began writing Project Body Love, exploring my relationship with my body and, specifically, intuitive eating and the concept of health at every size.  In more recent years, Jenn has supported me as I've been transitioning through perimenopause.  I couldn't be happier to be sharing Jenn's wisdom with you today! Here's some of what we talk about: > We both share our somewhat hilarious stories of how we each realized we were in perimenopause – and then of course what happened for each of us afterward. > Why we know so little about the complex process of peri/menopause, why so many of us are surprised by our symptoms, and how Gen X and Millenial women are doing things differently, redefining the experience and demanding more information and better care. > The symptoms of perimenopause that no one expects, and that seemingly have nothing to do with perimenopause at all!  Jenn explains the "hormone soup" that exists in our body during this time, and how it has far-reaching impacts well beyond hot flashes and crime scene periods. > How our relationships with our bodies change during this transformational time in our lives – how many of us are confronted with the body and health changes associated with aging and the reality that we can't always control what happens to our health. > The potential that peri/menopause has to catalyze us to break up with Diet Culture for good and find joy and pleasure in food and movement.  We talk about the power and possibility that can reveal itself to us when we see this time as a rite of passage in our lives.  Jenn leaves us with the question:  how can midlife be a feast? I hope you love this interview as much as I did! Show Notes Jenn's book, Eat to Thrive During Menopause, comes out October 21st Pre-order the book and get some sweet bonus recipes!

If your body could hand you a report card right now, what grade would you get?In this solo episode, Janet shines a light on a truth we often push to the bottom of our priority lists: our health. High-achievers may believe their brilliance and productivity keep them in the game, but the reality is that the body—the container carrying it all—is what makes that brilliance possible.With her signature warmth and honesty, Janet shares both personal stories and client experiences to show why delaying attention to health eventually catches up with us, often in crisis form. She invites us to rethink the way we relate to our bodies and to start treating them as the irreplaceable vessels they are.In this episode:✅ Why neglecting your health almost always shows up later as a crisis✅ How high achievers fall into the trap of thinking their minds matter more than their bodies✅ Janet's personal journey with body image, wellness, and health wake-up calls✅ The reality of changing bodies✅ Why health care has to be personal, seasonal, and sustainable✅ How to reframe your body as a partner, not an obstacle✅ Three invitations to start small✅ The importance of shifting from “someday” to “today” in your health prioritiesAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

A coach once told me to stop pushing, and that single moment flipped everything I thought I knew about progress. Surrender shifted my energy, my business, and my life in ways I couldn't have forced if I tried.

I also share simple practices to move out of force and into flow, so life can finally start working with you instead of against you.You'll Learn:What purging and surging really means and why this cycle becomes a slippery slopeHow it shows up through rumination, analysis paralysis, and confirmation biasThe symptoms it creates, from anxiety and stress to overwhelm, low-vibration feelings, obstacles, and lack of trust in yourself and the worldWhat shifts when you stop forcing outcomes and allow yourself to just beHow awareness, trust, synchronicity, and openness to new ideas create more calm, peace, gratitude, and authenticitySimple methods to move from pushing to surrendering, including checking your alignment, exploring the roots of beliefs and coping patterns, and nervous system retraining when neededA powerful practice of asking for divine help and why you'll get tested by your choices and thoughts along the wayTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[05:41] The moment my coach told me to stop pushing[07:45] How surrender changed my energy, alignment, and flow[10:36] The cycle of purging and surging explained[14:54] Symptoms of pushing: anxiety, overwhelm, and lack of trust[18:34] What happens when we just be and allow life to unfold[27:08] Simple methods to shift from pushing to surrenderResources Mentioned:The Surrender Experiment by Michael A.

But why do transitions feel so unsettling, and how can we meet them with more self-compassion and patience?In this episode of Grow the Good, I sit down with my friend and fellow MAPP grad, Ilene Schaffer, to explore the psychology of transitions. With more than 25 years of experience in counseling psychology, Ilene shares her wisdom on navigating endings, sitting with uncertainty in the “neutral zone,” and creating intentional new beginnings.We talk about what it means to let go of old identities, how to clarify your non-negotiables, and why patience and self-compassion are the keys to moving through life's changes with resilience.Top 5 Takeaways:Self-compassion is essential in transitions, whether the change is chosen or not.The “neutral zone” between endings and beginnings is where reflection and growth take place.Defining non-negotiables helps guide decisions during uncertain times.Patience is vital; most transitions take 6–9 months to fully adjust.Fulfillment isn't about balance, it's about intentional choices aligned with your values.Tune in to learn more from Ilene, and hopefully, approach your next transition with a little bit more ease. --------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Do you ever feel like you're running on fumes? Too exhausted, busy, and overwhelmed to even think about how you're showing up as a leader? In this episode of The Inner Edge, Janet Ioli explores why your leadership presence isn't something to “get to later,” but rather the very thing that transforms how you spend your time, your energy, and your life.Through a powerful story from a recent executive program, Janet shares the all-too-familiar refrain of leaders who feel “too tired to focus on presence.” Then she flips that thinking on its head, showing why you're actually too tired not to. This conversation is both a wake-up call and an invitation: to pause, breathe, and reconsider what efficiency, resilience, and leadership truly mean.In this episode:✅ Why presence isn't a luxury—it's essential for sustainable leadership✅ How constant reactivity drains energy, clarity, and trust over time✅ The hidden costs of showing up frazzled, rushed, or checked out✅ Why your energy is contagious and sets the “weather” for your team and relationships✅ How redefining efficiency can help you focus on what truly matters✅ Three practical invitations to begin shifting your presence todayAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul. Through her keynotes, podcast, and programs, Janet helps high-achievers find the one thing that changes everything: the mastery within.Her approach redefines leadership presence—not as polish or tactics, but as the inner steadiness people feel from you and the positive imprint you leave on individuals and organizations.Connect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @leadershipcoachjanetIf you want to become more grounded, confident, and aligned with your deeper values in just 21 days, check out Janet Ioli's book Less Ego, More Soul: A Modern Reinvention Guide for Women.

What happens when we stand at the threshold of transformation, no longer who we once were but not yet who we're becoming? Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright guides us through this sacred liminal space, sharing powerful passages from her book "Transformations of the Sun" that illuminate the courage required to embrace change.Key talking points include: • Reading from the poem "In Between" about no longer being the person you used to be while not yet becoming who you're stepping into• Personal story of leaving Alaska for Kauai and the emotional challenge of following soul guidance others couldn't understand• Exploration of "the wild unknown" - that spiritual wilderness where we must learn to trust our internal compass• Discussion of how initial certainty in decision-making often gives way to doubt when transformation becomes uncomfortable• Reflections on how our souls rejoice in the struggle even when our human minds resist change• Importance of having small anchors during change while still surrendering to the deeper processThe true gift of this episode lies in Dr. BethAnn's gentle reminder that transformation necessarily involves discomfort. When we follow a soul calling, we often experience initial certainty that later gives way to doubt and questioning. Yet it's precisely in this grappling that we discover unexpected strengths and access deeper wisdom. As she beautifully expresses through her poem "Submergence," we must allow ourselves to unravel before we can "knit ourselves back into new shapes and hue." The invitation is clear: can we trust our internal compass when external validation fails? Can we surrender to the "river beneath the river" and allow our soul's alchemy to unfold at its own perfect pace? Join Dr. BethAnn in this intimate exploration of what it truly means to trust the process of becoming who we're meant to be.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.
