In this episode of Healing Mindset with host Nazish, Ian breaks down how to define your life purpose in seven words or less so it actually drives decisions, not just decorates a vision board. He explains why most purpose statements are fluffy, how brevity cuts the noise, and how a clear purpose becomes a practical decision making tool for careers, leadership and daily life. Through real client stories, including a C suite executive who completely redesigned his final working years, Ian shows how a sharp purpose line can shift you from anxiety and confusion to alignment and focused action. If you feel stuck, overcomplicating your choices or doubting that there is anything unique about you, this conversation gives you a structured way to name what you stand for and use it as your compass. About the Guest  : Ian Chamandy is the creator of a purpose blueprint process that has helped more than 400 organizations and many individuals articulate their core purpose in seven words or less. His work focuses on cutting out the “blah blah” so people and companies can identify the one thing that makes them uniquely remarkable and align their decisions, careers and communication around it. Key Takeaways  : Purpose works best when it is short, sharp and seven words or less so it is easy to understand, remember and repeat. A strong purpose statement is both logically self evident and emotionally resonant. If it does not hit both, it is not ready. Your purpose is essentially the one thing that makes you uniquely remarkable and how you share that with the world. Many people struggle to name accomplishments because they believe there is nothing special about them. That belief blocks clarity and confidence. Clear purpose is a decision making tool. It gives boundaries so you can choose roles, projects and paths that align instead of guessing. Trigger events like job changes create anxiety because of unanswered questions. A defined purpose helps answer those questions faster. Real life examples show how purpose statements such as “make it simpler” or “leading safely through the minefield” can drive concrete career choices. When you discover and own your purpose, your confidence increases because you finally see the value no one can take away from you.

In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish sits down with Dr. Laurette Willis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and creator of Weight Loss Without Will Power, to unpack how your mind and brain quietly drive your habits around food, body image, and self worth. This is not another “willpower and discipline” lecture. It is a practical breakdown of how renewing the mind and retraining the brain can shift emotional eating, cravings, and long standing patterns that keep you stuck. Dr. Laurette shares how scripture based affirmations, CBT tools, and simple neuroscience practices can help you interrupt a craving in real time, build new neural pathways, and step out of the “I am the problem” story. If you are tired of dieting, self shaming, and starting over every Monday, this conversation gives you a grounded, faith infused framework to create sustainable change in your mental health, weight journey, and daily life. About the Guest  : Dr. Laurette Willis is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) and the visionary behind Weight Loss Without Will Power. A former compulsive overeater, alcoholic, and smoker, she rebuilt her life using faith, mindset work, and neuroscience based tools. She is also the founder of PraiseMoves, known as the Christian alternative to yoga, and supports women of faith globally to renew their minds, retrain their brains, and release weight from the inside out. Key Takeaways: Renewing the mind vs. retraining the brain. Renewing the mind is grounding yourself in truth, scripture, and more empowering self talk. Retraining the brain is the neuroscience side, building new neural pathways so different choices become easier over time. Your self talk is your operating system. “I am stupid, I am lazy, I always fail” turns into a mental script the brain obeys. Shifting to “I am learning, I am capable, I have the mind of Christ” starts to rewrite identity and behavior. Thoughts are not commands. A thought is like a bird flying overhead. You do not have to let it build a nest. You can notice, reject, or reframe it instead of automatically acting on it. Bilateral stimulation to break cravings. Passing an object from hand to hand while speaking a boundary based affirmation can interrupt a craving loop so you choose more intentionally, especially with emotional eating. Five daily anchors. Pray and plan, drink water, move your body, journal, and protect your sleep. These simple, repeatable habits support mental health, nervous system regulation, and faith based weight loss. You are more than your body. You are spirit, soul, and body. When spiritual and emotional fullness increase, the need to use food for comfort naturally decreases, making weight loss more sustainable.   The content shared in this podcast, including any discussion of physical health, mental health, diet, weight loss, medications, trauma, or nervous system regulation, is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish sits down with Shruti Sethi, nutrition coach and founder of Awaana Health, to unpack what it really means to heal from within. Shruti shares how her own cancer journey forced her to stop chasing only diets, protocols and supplements, and start listening to her inner world. They talk about why you can drink all the green juices and follow every plan yet still feel stuck. How awareness, acceptance and emotional honesty become non negotiable if you want real change. Shruti breaks down inner healing in practical terms. How you wake up, how you speak to yourself, how you show up in relationships and how your nervous system and gut health drive your mood and energy. If you are dealing with chronic illness, burnout or just feel disconnected from your body, this conversation gives you grounded tools. From blood work and nutrition to movement, meditation, breath work and nature. No fluff, just a clear roadmap to start supporting your mind body system from the inside out.   About The Guest : Shruti Sethi is a nutrition coach and the founder of Aawana Health. After navigating her own cancer diagnosis, she realised that external treatment without inner work was not enough. Today she supports clients with a whole person approach that includes nutrition, movement, mindset, community and emotional healing. Her work focuses on helping people build inner strength, regulate their nervous system and reconnect with their bodies in a sustainable way.   Key Takeaways: Inner healing is not abstract. It shows up in daily life through your emotions, how you wake up, how you react to stress and how you treat yourself and others. Diets and protocols help, but without mental and spiritual work you often stay stuck. Awareness and honesty about your inner world are core to lasting change. A big red flag is not being able to sit with yourself. Constant distraction and chasing validation signal that deeper support and self compassion are needed. Acceptance is the first hard step with chronic illness. Moving from “why me” to “this is where I am, what can I do now” opens the door to healing choices. Suppressed emotions do not just vanish. They sit in the body as tension and symptoms, so you need safe spaces to “vomit it out” and speak the truth. Gratitude is not toxic positivity. Short, specific moments of gratitude can shift your nervous system and help soften the ego and fear. A practical strategy. check nutrition and deficiencies, move your body, seek therapy if needed, use meditation and breath work, and connect with nature to reset your system.   How Listeners Can Connect With The Guest  : Connect with Shruti Sethi and Awaana Health Website - http://www.awaanahealth.com/ Instagram YouTube Join her community and WhatsApp group for ongoing support Free online meditations. hosted two to three times a month for nervous system reset and inner healing practice   Some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice.

In this Healing Mindset episode, host Naish sits down with clairvoyant healer and mystic Audrye S. Arbe to unpack a very real question. What do you actually do when life keeps throwing “new” at you and your first response is fear. Drawing from decades of healing work, Audrye walks through how breath, awareness and energetic hygiene shift panic into presence. She explains how conditioning, past life patterns and collective fear shape our reactions and why learning your own energetic signature is now a non negotiable leadership skill. This conversation cuts through spiritual fluff. You will hear practical ways to calm your nervous system, decode whether fear is truly protective or just limiting and step into a higher frequency without bypassing your very human emotions. About the Guest: Audrye S. Arbe is a seasoned clairvoyant, healer and spiritual teacher who works with clairvoyance, mysticism and what she calls genetic karmic patterning. She supports people to clear inherited and learned fear, release conditioning and raise their frequency so they can live more consciously and powerfully. From breath practices to energetic clearing, she brings a grounded lens to big topics like past lives, galactic consciousness and humanity’s evolution. Key Takeaways: Breath is the first line of spiritual and nervous system regulation. Slow rhythmic breathing helps you center before you make any decision about something new. Most fear is conditioned. It often comes from family history, past experiences, genetic karmic patterning and collective narratives rather than present moment danger. Your body is your dashboard. When energy is aligned your heart feels open and lighter. When it is off you feel tight, heavy or agitated. Pay attention to that data. Self judgment weakens you. Labelling yourself as “not spiritual enough” or “never good enough” keeps you stuck and stops real growth. Curiosity works better than shame. Raising your frequency is practical. Daily practices like breathing, meditation, clean food, affirmations and conscious media intake build resilience in a chaotic world. We are in a transition phase as a species. Some people will cling to fear and blame while others choose responsibility, self love and collaboration as the new normal.   How To Connect With The Guest: Listeners can connect with Audrye and dive deeper into her healing and spiritual work here.

In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish sits down with Dr. Crystal T. Harrell, who shares how she moved from public housing in Alabama and the loss of her father to earning a PhD from Yale and reclaiming her inner wholeness. This is not a hustle story. It is a reality check on what happens when achievement is driven by an unhealed nervous system. Crystal unpacks how living through the lens of a traumatized child can show up as overachievement, burnout, and constant survival mode. She explains how holistic health, self-awareness, journaling, and spiritual alignment help us stop outsourcing safety and start building inner peace. If you are stuck in survival, high performance, or perfectionism yet still feel empty, this conversation will help you reframe healing as a non-negotiable part of success.   About the Guest: Dr. Crystal T. Harrell is a public health researcher, author, and spiritual teacher who grew up in public housing in Alabama and went on to earn her PhD from Yale. She blends data driven public health insights with deep spiritual wisdom to help people move from survival mode into inner safety and wholeness. Through her work, she guides others to reconnect with their true essence, integrate trauma, and create lives rooted in peace, resilience, and purpose.   Key Takeaways: Achievement cannot heal unresolved trauma. Crystal realized she was still operating as a traumatized child, using success to cope rather than to feel safe True transformation starts with honest awareness. The first shift is recognizing when your choices are driven by fear, survival, or the need to prove yourself Science and spirituality are not opposites. Fields like stress research, epigenetics and quantum physics mirror what spiritual traditions have said about energy, the nervous system and mind body health Self-awareness is the light, introspection is the tool. Crystal describes self-awareness as a flashlight that illuminates our inner shadows so we can meet them with compassion rather than shame Journaling is a powerful first step. Putting thoughts and emotions on paper creates distance from the internal storm and helps you see what is really happening inside Resilience and courage fuel inner work. Healing is not comfortable, yet resilience helps you keep returning to the vision of who you want to become, not just what you want to achieve Wholeness feels like inner peace. It is the lived knowing that nothing external can give lasting safety. Peace is an inside job that we keep coming back to Discomfort is not the enemy. Instead of dissociating, Crystal encourages sitting with discomfort, grounding in the body, and using presence to move through old patterns   How To Connect With Dr. Crystal T.

In this Healing Mindset episode, host Nazish sits down with coach and circadian health expert Jason Yun to unpack what really drives human performance in a world addicted to speed, screens and shortcuts. Jason explains why most people are “getting light wrong”, how artificial light and phone addiction wreck circadian rhythm, and why sunrise, movement and mindset beat most trendy hacks. They dive into cold exposure, primal movement patterns, planning your day like a high performer and using simple lifestyle design to reverse low energy, brain fog and burnout. If you care about human performance optimization, circadian rhythm, lifestyle transformation and sustainable fitness results, this conversation will give you direct, no fluff strategies you can apply today. About The Guest  : Jason Yun is a coach and performance strategist who blends strength training, circadian biology, nutrition and mindset to help people become the strongest version of themselves physically, mentally and energetically. Starting from a traditional fitness and boot camp background, he evolved his work into deep lifestyle transformation, focusing on light, mitochondria, nervous system health and planning systems that make change actually stick. Key Takeaways: Most people are “getting light wrong”, spending 80–90% of their time indoors, overexposed to artificial light and underexposed to natural sunlight, which disrupts circadian rhythm and drains energy. Sunrise viewing with naked eyes (no sunglasses, contacts or closed windows) is a foundational habit that sets your circadian clock, hormones and dopamine far better than coffee. Phones are a major performance drain through blue light, non native frequencies and dopamine hijacking, turning constant scrolling into a new form of addiction that quietly erodes health. Mental resilience is non negotiable for long term fitness results, and mindset work must sit alongside training and nutrition rather than afterthought motivation. Cold exposure builds both mitochondrial health and mental toughness, teaching your brain that you can stay present in discomfort instead of quitting. Jason emphasizes expressive, gait driven movement patterns like walking, sprinting and throwing instead of only fixed, symmetrical lifts to restore pain free, human specific strength. High performers plan their weeks and days in advance, block time for health, and align goals with a clear purpose so progress does not collapse when life gets busy.

In this Healing Mindset episode, host Nazish sits down with Dr Kevin Smith. Functional medicine practitioner and founder of Metabolic Solutions. to unpack why so many people stay stuck in chronic symptoms even while “following doctor’s orders.” Dr Smith breaks down the difference between allopathic care and functional medicine, how insurance-driven protocols keep treatment reactive, and why real healing starts with asking one hard question. why is this happening in the first place. From metabolic health, polypharmacy and mystery symptoms to lifestyle, detox and lab testing, this conversation gives a direct, no fluff roadmap for listeners who are tired of quick fixes and want strategic, root cause solutions. Ideal for anyone navigating fatigue, autoimmunity, thyroid issues, blood sugar problems or long-term medication use and wondering if there is another way.   About the Guest: Dr Kevin Smith is a functional medicine practitioner and chiropractor with more than 20 years of clinical experience. As founder of Metabolic Solutions, he specialises in working with complex, chronic conditions by mapping the full metabolic landscape. using advanced lab testing, nutrition, lifestyle interventions and targeted detox support. Dr Smith is known for his straight-talking, systems-level approach that helps patients move from symptom management to long-term health ownership.   Key Takeaways:   Functional medicine shifts the core question from “How do we suppress this symptom” to “Why is this happening in the first place” so chronic issues are addressed at the root instead of endlessly medicated. Allopathic care is heavily shaped by insurance rules and diagnostic codes, which can lock patients into pre-approved drug protocols instead of personalised, root cause strategies for metabolic health and chronic disease. Many people with complicated symptoms are under-tested. Functional medicine expands lab work to assess the whole metabolic system. blood sugar, thyroid, gut, liver, inflammation, hormones and nutrient status together. Polypharmacy is a real risk factor. The more medications a person takes, the higher the chance of side effects and interaction-driven symptoms that look like “new diseases” instead of drug fallout. Sustainable reversal of chronic patterns is built on fundamentals. clean nutrition, real sleep, smart movement, nervous system support, stress management and environmental detox. Not on another quick-fix pill. Progress in functional medicine often happens in small increments, not overnight transformations. The patients who win are the ones willing to be coached, build new habits and stay engaged in the process.   How Listeners Can Connect With Dr Kevin Smith  : To learn more about Dr Smith’s work or explore whether functional medicine is a fit for your situation, visit his clinic site.

In this Healing Mindset episode, host Nazish sits down with Dr. Chloe Weber DACM, L.Ac, a doctor of Chinese medicine, herbalist and single mom navigating life with her son Remy, who lives with a rare genetic disorder. This is not a highlight-reel conversation. It is a grounded look at what happens when ancient herbal wisdom, modern physiology and real-life caregiving collide. Dr. Weber unpacks how Chinese medicine views the body as an ecosystem, how subtle symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, cramps and sleep disruption are early warning signals, and why Western “quick fixes” often miss the root cause. She shares how Chinese herbs, lifestyle and nervous-system support have helped her son build function and joy, even with significant disabilities, and how she learned that the most powerful medicine she can offer him is her own regulated, honest presence. If you care about chronic illness, women’s health, gut-brain health, resilience, or you are just tired of one more pill with no real answer, this episode gives you a more strategic way to think about healing that is both practical and deeply human. About the Guest : Dr. Chloe Weber is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist. Her work sits at the intersection of evidence-based herbal formulas and traditional East Asian medicine. Her personal journey with her son Remy, who has a rare neurodevelopmental condition, pushed her to innovate outside conventional systems and build long-term, resilient care instead of short-term symptom management. She is the founder of: Radical Roots : a CBD and Chinese herb company focused on nervous system, brain and gut support Noxi Herbs : a women’s hormone and cycle health company Radical Remedy : a blog and podcast platform centering root-cause healing and conscious health choices Chloe’s lens is clear. Traditional medicine is not “alternative” for her. It is a primary operating system for building vitality, mental clarity and sustainable wellbeing in a toxic, fast-paced world. Key Takeaways : Chinese medicine sees the body like an ecosystem. digestion, sleep, menstrual cycles, energy and mood are all feedback loops. When something shifts, it is data, not random drama. The body whispers before it screams. brain fog, cramps, gut issues, night waking, extended cycles and low energy are early warning signals that resilience is being eroded. Western medicine is powerful for emergencies and acute crises, but often functions like a bandage for chronic issues. Traditional systems like Chinese medicine are designed to work at root-cause level over time. Herbs are not just “woo.” There is growing pharmacological research on how specific Chinese herbs affect neurotransmitters, immune modulation, inflammation and detox pathways. Caring for a child with significant disabilities taught Chloe that her first responsibility is her own regulation. a burned-out caregiver is not sustainable medicine for anyone. Resilience is not about pushing endlessly. it is about knowing when to rest, when to renegotiate expectations and when to let a few balls drop without guilt. Small, consistent shifts . more whole foods, hydration, time in nature, breathwork, gentle movement and targeted herbs . compound into measurable health and emotional stability over time.   How Listeners Can Connect with Dr. Chloe Weber  : Explore Chloe’s work and offerings here: Radical Roots (CBD and Chinese herbs for brain, gut and nervous system support): https://radicalrootsherbs.com/ Noxi Herbs (women’s hormone and cycle health): https://www.noxiherbs.com/ Radical Remedy (blog and podcast on root-cause healing): https://radicalremedy.org These links are shared for informational and educational purposes only and do not replace professional medical advice or individualized care.

In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish speaks with author and holotropic breathwork facilitator Sean Blackwell about bipolar disorder as a potential awakening. Instead of treating bipolar as a fixed lifelong illness, Sean frames it as a crisis of consciousness that can reorganize the psyche, surface old trauma and open the door to a different way of living. He shares his own psychiatric hospitalization after a near death scuba accident and an intensive self development course, how he later discovered the concept of “spiritual emergency” through Stanislav Grof, and why he believes many bipolar episodes are misunderstood healing processes. Together, they unpack trauma stored in the body, the role of holotropic breathwork, why medication can be both useful and overused, and how people can move from “what is wrong with me” to “what is waking up in me”. This is a grounded, practical look at bipolar awakening, not a promise of quick fixes. About the guest: Sean Blackwell is the author of “Am I Bipolar or Waking Up” and “Bipolar Awakenings. The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder”. He has spent nearly two decades researching bipolar disorder, spiritual emergency and trauma healing, and has worked with people from around the world through private retreats and online education. Combining transpersonal psychology, holotropic breathwork, peer support and spirituality, Sean’s work challenges the purely biochemical model of mental illness and invites a deeper, experience based understanding of psychosis and bipolar states. Key takeaways  : Bipolar episodes can sometimes function as “spiritual emergencies”. intense reorganizations of the psyche that surface unprocessed trauma and existential fear. Sean’s first episode followed a near death scuba accident and an emotional breakthrough on a self help course. His experience was labeled psychosis, yet it sharpened his senses, opened his heart and changed his life trajectory. Discovering Stanislav Grof’s work on spiritual emergency gave him language for what happened. a non ordinary state that looks like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder yet can be transformative. Through supporting his wife’s nieces, he saw that psychosis supported with empathy, safety and family understanding can resolve without a lifelong identity of “chronic mental patient”. For many people, bipolar disorder is less about “chemical imbalance” and more about high sensitivity plus unresolved trauma, emotional repression and sometimes drug use crossing a threshold. Holotropic breathwork creates a safe container for the body to release stored trauma through intensified breathing, movement and sound instead of only talking about pain. Sean still respects the role of psychiatric medication for short term stability and function. yet he encourages slow, supervised reduction when people feel consistently over sedated after deep healing work. Real awakening is not a dramatic mountaintop moment. it usually shows up as being more relaxed, open and peaceful while becoming a calmer presence for others.

In this powerful episode of Healing Mindset, transformational coach and spiritual mentor Gabriela Popescu shares her journey from complete burnout and self-betrayal to creating “Phoenix Medicine” – a holistic framework that heals women across the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. Gabriela reveals burnout as a sacred invitation to return home to yourself, explains why self-love and boundaries are the true antidotes to depletion, and offers gentle, practical ways to begin healing without overwhelm. Key Takeaways: Burnout is not just exhaustion; it’s the moment you realize you’ve drifted from unconditional self-love and overridden your soul’s need for stillness. The earliest signs show up in the physical body (headaches, disengagement), but the root is a lack of self-love and poor boundaries. Phoenix Medicine was born from Gabriela’s own breakdown in a toxic relationship that forced her to reconnect with Source, Reiki, and the four interconnected bodies. All four bodies hold trauma differently: the physical body (especially the womb) absorbs external wounds; the mental body replays outdated childhood beliefs (“I’m not enough”). Simple starting practices: set an intention to ground with Mother Earth, get curious about others’ behavior instead of taking it personally, and begin with 5-minute stillness or nature connection. Reclaiming your power doesn’t have to fracture relationships; when done from love, boundaries can actually deepen connections (beautiful client story of an immigrant daughter transforming her relationship with her mother). Spiritual restoration is accessible to everyone – start by asking your spiritual team for help, sitting in silence, or simply hugging a tree. Transformation happens one gentle, consistent step at a time – no need to overhaul everything at once.

In this powerful episode, award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and somatic coach Dr. Danielle Griffin joins host Nazish to demystify somatic exercise and show how busy high-achievers can release chronic tension, pain, and overwhelm in just minutes a day. Dr. Danielle shares her personal wake-up call (her husband telling her she was “starting to look old” from stress!), the breakthrough she’s witnessing with her own mother’s chronic pain, and practical ways anyone can use breath, awareness, and gentle movement to break the stress-pain cycle—without sacrificing productivity or momentum. Key Takeaways: Somatic exercise is NOT intense workout—it’s a simple 3-part process: breathwork + meditation + mindful mobility to build body awareness and release stored stress. Chronic stress and pain live in the body; learning to feel and name sensations (pain vs. discomfort) dramatically improves medical outcomes and daily comfort. Consistency beats intensity—just 90 seconds to 5 minutes a day is enough to reset your nervous system and show up calmer and more confident in high-stakes moments. High-achievers don’t have to “slow down” to heal; short somatic pauses before meetings or presentations help you embody calm confidence and actually perform better. Positivity is contagious—when you regulate yourself somatically, you shift the energy of entire rooms and relationships. Healing starts the moment you listen to your body instead of overriding it. Small, consistent practices create massive transformation in 30 days or less.

In this powerful episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish sits down with Jennifer Edwards, CFP® and founder of Breakthrough Financial Wellness, to explore why even high earners feel stuck, ashamed, or anxious around money. Jennifer reveals that money struggles are rarely about the numbers — they’re rooted in nervous-system responses, childhood stories, societal pressures, and unresolved trauma. Using her signature Seven-Layer Financial Wellness Framework, she explains how calming the body, rewriting old beliefs, and creating safety cues can transform scarcity into true financial (and emotional) freedom. Key Takeaways: Financial stress exists at every income level — from poverty (loss of autonomy) to abundance (difficulty spending after decades of “must accumulate”). Scarcity mindset is wired into our nervous system; many wealthy people still fear “going broke” because their early survival strategy was hyper-focus on saving and growth. Shame + poor decisions create a vicious downward spiral. Reducing shame (by acknowledging systemic, cultural, and trauma layers) is the first step to better choices. The Seven-Layer Financial Wellness Framework (from macro to micro): Societal/systemic forces Relational/family culture Educational/knowledge gaps Behavioral habits Physiological (sleep, hunger, stress affect money choices) Psychological (money stories & beliefs) Trauma (stored in the body, not the mind) Trauma is healed in the body first — mindfulness, deep breathing, noticing “cues of safety” (smiles, soothing voices, nature sounds, kind gestures), not just talk therapy. Couples fight about money because spending = exposing identity & desires. Understanding the “why” behind a partner’s money habits turns conflict into deeper connection. Start your own shift with Jennifer’s free Money Beliefs Inventory (automatic sentence completions reveal subconscious programming). Lasting change usually takes 6 months–2 years of compassionate support — breakthroughs are just the beginning.

In this powerful 30-minute conversation, licensed social worker and healing-centered leadership coach Tashia Martin shares her deeply personal journey of leading through profound grief — losing nearly 20 loved ones between 2022 and 2025 — while guiding teams and organizations. Tashia reveals how traditional leadership often ignores the human reality of loss, burnout, and transition, and offers a transformative alternative: leadership that prioritizes restoration, vulnerability, and systemic well-being. From her ROOTED framework to everyday rituals using water and affirmations, this episode is a heartfelt call to lead with humanity first. Key Takeaways: Leadership is a relationship, not just a role — honoring real-life grief and transitions at work is essential for sustainable success. Loss isn’t only death; it includes divorce, relocation, new children — anything that shifts identity brings grief into the workplace. The ROOTED Framework: Reclaim wellness → Observe systems → Own your gifts → Tend to the collective → Evidence & beyond → Design for sustainability. Wellness is a human right, not a luxury — leaders must model self-compassion and vulnerability to create psychologically safe environments. Small daily practices create massive shifts: morning mirror affirmations, intentional showers to welcome positivity and release stress, movement to ground the body, and giving yourself “five fails a day.” Systems support healing when they include sacred break spaces, easy access to mental-health resources, equitable workloads, and leaders who actively invite diverse feedback. Healing is not linear — self-awareness, spiritual grounding, and community support help leaders transform personal wounds into compassionate leadership styles. You don’t have to burn out to be bright; lead gently, lead yourself gently first.

In this inspiring 30-minute conversation, Danielle Keasling pulls back the curtain on real-world manifestation. She explains why manifesting isn’t wishful thinking or “magic money under the pillow”; it’s a daily practice of living, acting, and feeling as if your dream life is already here. From growing up with the subconscious “If you can dream it, you can do it” programming, to hitting career highs while navigating a painful divorce, to vision-boarding her exact dream car into reality, Danielle shows how clarity, aligned action, and radical trust turn mindset into tangible results. Key Takeaways Manifestation starts with living “as if” – take the long lunch, stroll the beach, make the aesthetic home upgrade even when the future feels uncertain; because that’s how the version of you who already has it would behave. The most powerful childhood belief Danielle received: “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Many of us have been manifesting our whole lives without knowing the name for it. Vision boards + written goals work, but only when they’re revisited and truly felt. Danielle manifested her current dream car after it sat on her board for three years. Ego = insecurity. Aligned manifestation feels vulnerable and open; ego-driven goals feel like pressure and constriction. Mistakes and “bad decisions” (in marriage, business partnerships, etc.) are never wasted if you extract the lesson; they become the exact training ground for your next level. When clarity feels foggy, visualize vividly and repeatedly. Danielle already “lives” in her future beach house in Bali; she jokes with realtors and keeps the door wide open for unexpected opportunities. Stay radically open: say yes to things outside your industry, sit on advisory boards that might dissolve; every experience is data for the life you’re calling in. The universe doesn’t force gifts into a closed fist. Keep your hands (and mind) open.

On this episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish sits down with workplace psychology expert Dr David Shar to get brutally honest about burnout, passion and the messy reality of modern work. This is not another fluffy “self care” chat. David breaks down why people actually fall out of love with their jobs, why “too much work” is only half the story and how bureaucracy, pointless meetings and performative leadership quietly kill purpose. You will hear how high performers slide from being “on fire” to being emotionally done, why open door policies are useless without real conversations and how tiny culture shifts like “no late night emails” can move the needle on mental health at work. If you are exhausted, cynical or wondering whether you have simply outgrown your role, this episode gives you straight talking tools to rethink your relationship with work without gaslighting yourself. About the Guest: Dr David Shar is a globally recognized expert in workplace psychology who helps organizations and professionals reignite passion and prevent burnout. His research focuses on why people fall out of love with their work and how individualized leadership, healthy boundaries and psychologically safe cultures can turn things around. Known for blending evidence based insight with sharp humor and real world stories, David advises companies, teaches organizational psychology and speaks internationally on burnout, leadership and employee wellbeing. Key Takeaways: Burnout is not just about working long hours. it shows up when the work you do is disconnected from the impact and meaning that once lit you up. People fall out of love with their jobs for different reasons. some drown in overload while others feel trapped in stagnation with no challenge or growth. Leaders who rely on generic fixes or performative committees often make burnout worse. what actually works is individualized leadership and real conversations. Healthy boundaries are non negotiable for high performers. without them, either you burn out or your life outside work quietly burns down. Humor and vulnerability at the top are not soft skills. they are hard requirements for trust, psychological safety and honest talk about stress. Small culture shifts beat big flashy change projects. things like “no late night emails” and real open door time compound into serious wellbeing ROI. If you feel done with your job, do not gaslight yourself. use that disillusionment as data, get curious about what you have outgrown and what impact you want next. Healing your relationship with work starts with one move. pausing, reflecting on who you serve and designing work around your values instead of your inbox.

In this Healing Mindset episode, host Nazish sits down with transformational coach and bestselling author Irina Shehovsov for a hard hitting conversation around one of the most persistent emotional blocks people carry. The voice of unworthiness. This episode cuts through the noise with grounded insights, practical mindset frameworks and real lived experience. Irina details how childhood conditioning, silence, people pleasing and long term relationship wounds quietly shape our internal narratives. She also breaks down the neuroscience of emotional loops, the power of forgiveness, the role of daily practices and how purpose often emerges from heartbreak. This is a high value conversation for listeners navigating self doubt, rebuilding after emotional loss or trying to reconnect with their sense of identity.   About the Guest  : Irina Shehovsov is the founder of Reclaim Your Life. She is a transformational coach, speaker and number one international bestselling author of The Gift Inside. Through her coaching programs, her Happiness Academy and her podcasts Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life, she helps women rebuild after long term relationships, rediscover their worth and reclaim the parts of themselves they abandoned along the way.   Key Takeaways  : • The voice of unworthiness often comes from early programming, family patterns and old emotional memories that still run in the background.• Your mind believes whatever you repeat, so unchallenged internal narratives become self fulfilling cycles.• Real change begins when you acknowledge you are stuck, accept your past and choose a new direction even without a clear roadmap.• Heartbreak and relationship endings can become catalysts for rediscovering identity, voice and personal power.• Gratitude, morning routines and small habits act as anchors that shift your emotional baseline over time.• Presence is an underrated skill that pulls you out of rumination and helps you rebuild trust with your own body and emotions.• Community, creativity and joy practices help reconnect you to aliveness when loneliness triggers the urge for external validation.• Forgiveness is essential. Not for the other person but for your ability to move forward with clarity and self respect.• Worthiness becomes real when you create a lifestyle that reflects your values, your joy and your non negotiables.• Your purpose is often hidden inside the pain you avoided. When explored, it becomes fuel for transformation.   Connect with the Guest   Connect with Irina Shehovsov:Website: www.irinashehovsov.comYouTube: Happiness AcademyPodcasts: Available on Apple, Spotify, and all major platformsBooks: Search “Shehovsov” on Amazon or via her website   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life.

She leads live transmissions. energy work sessions and inner journeys that support people to become the emotionally available parent they never had. Key Takeaways: Inner child wounding is not a buzzword. it is the root cause behind many recurring patterns in relationships. work and self worth. especially around love. safety and belonging. Your inner child often speaks through triggers. overreactions and shutdowns. when you feel thirteen again in a conflict or five years old in a relationship. that is a data point. not a flaw.

In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Nazish sits down with Dr Jen Mann, ND, to unpack what it really means to reclaim your energy and trust your body in a world that keeps you in constant overdrive. Instead of treating fatigue, autoimmune symptoms and burnout as random malfunctions, Dr Jen invites you to see your body as an intelligent system that has been whispering to you for years. You will hear a grounded conversation on chronic fatigue, autoimmune patterns, nervous system overload, food intolerances, gut imbalance, hormones, and the mindset shifts required to move from “fixing” yourself to actually healing. This episode is perfect for listeners searching “how to heal burnout”, “chronic fatigue help”, “holistic energy healing”, “trusting your body”, and “healing mindset podcast” on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn, and want direct talk, not fluff. About the Guest: Dr Jen Mann, ND is a naturopathic doctor who works at the intersection of physical medicine, nervous system regulation and emotional healing. After struggling with fatigue, depression, autoimmune disease, thyroid issues and chronic digestive problems from a young age, she refused to settle for partial answers. That journey led her into deep work with nutrition, hormones, gut health, mindset and spirituality. Today she helps clients restore energy, rebuild trust with their bodies and create a new baseline of health that is aligned, sustainable and self-honoring. Key Takeaways: Your body is not the enemy. It is a messenger. Modern medicine often over-prioritizes labs and diagnoses, but your own inner sensing of “something is off” is critical data that you cannot outsource. Reclaiming energy starts with awareness. An “energy inventory” helps you track what truly nourishes you and what quietly drains you. Food, sleep, people, work, thoughts and your cycle all influence your baseline. Deep fatigue and autoimmune issues rarely have a single cause. Most people show overlapping patterns such as food intolerances, nutrient deficiencies, gut dysbiosis and hormone imbalances, especially cortisol and stress chemistry. The culture of constant productivity keeps many people stuck in chronic fight or flight. The nervous system is designed to resolve stress cycles, not live in them full time, and this mismatch drives burnout and symptoms. Curiosity beats self attack. Shifting from “my body betrayed me” to “what is my body trying to teach me” transforms fatigue from a battle into a partnership and opens the door to real healing. Healing is less about fixing what is broken and more about coming home to yourself. When you work with sleep, food, awareness practices, body scans and supportive practitioners, you build a repeatable skill set for life, not a one time quick fix.

This Healing Mindset episode goes straight into the real stuff. No fluff. No performance. Just the raw mechanics of how we mask ourselves without noticing and how unmasking becomes the gateway to grounded living. Licensed Professional Counselor and somatic facilitator Alicia Zielinski Straub breaks down the unconscious patterns that keep people stuck in overproductivity, perfectionism and survival mode. The conversation moves through vulnerability, somatic grounding, trauma awareness and the powerful shift that happens when we finally stop outsourcing our identity and start listening inward. About the Guest: Alicia Zielinski Straub is a Licensed Professional Counselor, somatic facilitator and transformational retreat host. Her work blends therapy, breathwork, somatic movement and grounded mindfulness to help people reconnect with their core self beyond conditioning, fear and performance. She guides clients into deeper nervous system safety, emotional clarity and embodied healing. Key Takeaways: Unmasking is the practice of shedding unconscious behavioral layers built for survival and belonging. High achievers often wear masks of control, productivity and perfection which create chronic anxiety and hypervigilance. Somatic grounding offers a safer entry point to emotional healing than cognitive work alone. Vulnerability requires nervous system safety, not willpower. Regulation must come before reflection. Many people unknowingly live from stored implicit memories and fear-driven habits rather than authentic self-alignment. Body cues are often ignored until they become major breakdowns. Listening early prevents long-term burnout. Healing accelerates when curiosity replaces judgment and when emotional experiences are witnessed in safe spaces. Transformation starts with small micro-shifts like questioning daily routines, introducing flexibility and checking intention behind habits. Breathwork and gentle movement help release stored emotional tension and reconnect the body with the mind. Self-awareness gives people choice. Without awareness, life becomes autopilot based on conditioning instead of conscious direction.

In this episode of Healing Mindset, host Pragya sits down with Veronique Ory celebrated yoga teacher. author. and founder of The Shine Membership to unpack the overlooked intelligence of the body. This conversation dives into embodied awareness. autoimmune experiences like vitiligo. and the journey of learning to collaborate with your body rather than control it. Veronique shares how slowing down. befriending discomfort. and honoring the seasons of your inner world can open the door to emotional. physical. and spiritual healing. This conversation is designed for anyone who feels disconnected. overwhelmed. or stuck in old patterns. and wants a grounded pathway back to presence. self-trust. and vitality. About the Guest: Veronique Ory is an international yoga teacher. author. retreat facilitator. and founder of The Shine Membership. Her journey spans from the demanding world of New York theater to leading global embodiment-based mindfulness experiences. Living with vitiligo has shaped her advocacy for body neutrality. authentic presence. and empowerment through embodiment. She blends yogic wisdom with grounded self-discovery practices that help people reconnect with their inner light and lived truth. Key Takeaways: The body constantly communicates through stress. tension. burnout. and physical symptoms. Learning to pause and listen is the first step to healing. Autoimmune symptoms like vitiligo can become powerful teachers around self-acceptance. surrender. and releasing control. Most people fear being beginners. but embodying “beginner’s mindset” is essential for growth. resilience. and self-compassion. Yoga and meditation create intentional pauses that counter the intensity of modern life and retrain the nervous system. Comparison drains energy. Reclaiming focus by turning inward and honoring your present body is where transformation begins. Befriending discomfort creates expansion. and embodiment practices help regulate emotional turbulence. Healing is non-linear. Feeling insecure about your body at times is normal. not a failure. Service. purpose. and contributing to others are powerful ways to get out of self-judgment loops. True empowerment comes from aligning with the people. places. and practices that elevate your inner world. Yoga meets you where you are. There is no “right time” or “perfect body” required. starting small is still starting.
