In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, we get real about burnout, chronic stress and “pushing through” pain until the body finally crashes. Dr. Danielle Griffin . tech speaker, award winning author and somatic awareness pioneer . breaks down how subtle, intentional somatic exercises can calm your nervous system, lower stress and ease chronic pain without another intense workout on your to do list. She shares her own pandemic burnout story . juggling grief, work, parenting and entrepreneurship until her body forced a hard reset. Then she explains how breathwork, micro pauses and gentle movement can help high achievers reset their stress response, sleep better and actually become more productive and present. If you feel exhausted but still performing, this conversation will hit home and show you a more sustainable, body led way forward. About the Guest : Dr. Danielle Griffin is a tech speaker, award winning author and a leading voice in somatic awareness. After burning out while balancing a doctorate, full time work, business, parenting and grief, she rebuilt her life using somatic exercises, hypnotherapy and nervous system work. Today she helps high performers and people living with chronic pain reconnect with their bodies through breath, gentle movement and awareness practices so that stress, sleep and performance improve from the inside out. She is the author of “Somatic Exercise Made Simple.” Key Takeaways: Somatic exercise is not another “grind at the gym” plan. It is a sequence of breath, awareness and gentle movement that helps your nervous system downshift from survival mode into safety. Traditional workouts on low sleep and high stress can backfire, raising cortisol and injury risk. Somatic sessions can sometimes replace or precede a workout so your body gets what it actually needs. A simple 90 second pause with deep, slow breathing can lower physical tension, regulate breathing patterns and start to calm chronic stress during the workday. Building body awareness helps you be specific about pain . location, quality and triggers . so doctors, therapists and coaches can actually target the real problem. High achievers often use busyness to avoid feeling grief, stress and overwhelm. Somatic practices create space to process emotions instead of carrying them in the body as tight shoulders, jaw pain, headaches or insomnia. Over time, somatic awareness reduces emotional reactivity. Relationships improve because you are less depleted, more regulated and able to respond rather than snap or shut down. Somatic work is highly personalized. You are not just following a class script, you are building your own daily micro practices based on your stress patterns, triggers and energy.

In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, Dr. Dorothy Martin Neville unpacks how spiritual beliefs directly shape emotional intelligence, health, and the way we lead. Raised in the housing projects of South Boston, she saw early how inner beliefs like "this is all I deserve" lock people into cycles of anxiety, depression, and illness. She breaks down how a healthier spiritual framework, like "life is a gift" and "I can handle what comes," rewires our emotional responses, builds confidence, and even changes our physiology. We talk about developing new neural pathways, stepping out of survival mode, and moving from reaction to conscious response. This conversation is a straight look at purpose, leadership, self-sabotage, and why success without inner alignment feels empty. If you care about mental health, embodiment, leadership, and living your purpose instead of just performing it, this one hits home. About Dr. Dorothy Martin Neville: Dr. Dorothy Martin Neville is a psychotherapist, executive coach, and spiritual teacher who rose from an orphanage and the housing projects of South Boston to advising high-level leaders and global visionaries. Her work integrates spirituality, emotional intelligence, and health, helping high performers move from empty achievement to aligned, purposeful living. She specializes in transforming limiting beliefs, building emotional awareness, and guiding people to live their spiritual purpose in real time, not just in theory. Key Takeaways: Spiritual beliefs are not abstract, they are operating systems. When your core belief is "I am not enough" or "this is all I deserve," it shows up as anxiety, depression, and physical illness. When your belief is "life is a gift" and "I can learn what I need," confidence and resilience expand. Emotional intelligence is built, not inherited. By noticing what triggers shame, anger, or collapse, you can train new neural pathways that say "they are having a bad day" instead of "I am inadequate," which reduces stress and self-sabotage. Constructive criticism focuses on behavior, not identity. "You are sabotaging yourself and I want to help" lands very differently from shaming language. You are not your behavior, you can change patterns without attacking your core self. Exposure to difference breaks mental walls. Meeting people from other cultures, faiths, and lifestyles shows that "different" is not "wrong," it is just different. That awareness helps dissolve judgment and opens the door to growth. Leadership is not just a job title, it is how you choose to show up. Whether you are a janitor, founder, or executive, leadership is claiming your purpose, taking responsibility, and choosing to be part of the solution rather than saying "not my job." Spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, and reflection slow you down enough to actually feel what is going on. That awareness lets you respond instead of react, reducing burnout and creating better decisions for your health and relationships. Success without spiritual and emotional alignment creates emptiness. Many high-achieving leaders look successful externally yet feel hollow internally. Reconnecting with their original purpose, passion, and joy changes how they lead, parent, and live.

On this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Sayan sits down with Amynicole Ellis, Human Design life consultant and founder of Fix Yourself and Flaunt It. Amy has walked through three bankruptcies and still chooses zero regrets. She breaks down how she turned financial collapse into data, not drama. We talk about releasing money shame, redefining success beyond status, and using Human Design as an energetic blueprint to understand how you are wired in life, work, and wealth. This is a straight talking conversation about rebuilding after loss, making peace with your past decisions, and shifting from constant self judgement to self respect. If you have ever felt behind in life, ashamed of your bank balance or stuck in comparison, this episode will hit home across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. About The Guest : Amynicole Ellis is a Human Design life consultant, coach and founder of Fix Yourself and Flaunt It. After navigating three bankruptcies, losing properties and starting over more than once, she stopped seeing herself as broken and started reading her life as data. Through Human Design, she helps women drop perfection performance, understand their energetic blueprint and create a version of success that matches who they really are, not who they are performing to be. Key Takeaways: Failure is data, not identity. Amy no longer labels her three bankruptcies as failure. She treats them as neutral information and feedback for how to move differently with money, work and risk. Human Design as an energetic blueprint. Using birth data, Human Design helped Amy see that her trial and error path was literally how she is wired, which removed a lot of shame and self blame and reframed her story as purpose driven rather than defective. Shame loses power when you tell the truth. Talking openly about bankruptcy, job loss and comparison syndrome creates psychological safety for others who silently carry similar stories on social and professional platforms. Feel the hard emotions, then pivot with intention. Amy gives herself 24 hours to fully feel the pain, then consciously shifts into problem solving and planning her next move so she does not stay stuck in a shame loop. Success is not just financial metrics. Hitting your fifties without the conventional markers of status does not mean you have failed. Amy now measures success by alignment, freedom, faith and honest self expression rather than just net worth. Faith and strategy can co exist. Leaning on her spiritual beliefs helped Amy walk through court, loss and uncertainty while still using practical tools like alternative financing, skills she built in real estate and a new career direction in coaching. Bankruptcy is not the end of your story. Credit can recover, careers can pivot and identities can evolve. The collapse can become a reset point where you finally build a life and relationship with money that fits who you really are.   Connect With Amynicole Ellis: Listeners can connect with Amynicole and go deeper into Human Design and money patterns here Instagram . @amynicoleellis . send her a DM if this episode resonates Free Human Design Report + Mini Masterclass .Visit https://www.amynicoleellis.com/pages/create-chart (as shared in the conversation . formatted on the site as Amy described) to get your full Human Design report . not just a chart a short training that walks you through how to read your blueprint and spot money patterns inside your design Once you download your report, DM Amy on Instagram to continue the conversation about her Debt Decoder .

On this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with Michelle Spadafora, founder of Faithful Workouts, to unpack a hard truth. your body will not heal if your mind is living in chronic stress. Michelle breaks down how long term stress quietly wrecks digestion, immunity and energy, why behavior change fails when it is built on shame and self hatred, and how faith centered peace can literally rewire your brain and nervous system.If you are stuck in comparison, hustle and self criticism, this conversation shows a very practical path to move from guilt to grace, from white knuckling habits to loving your body enough to care for it. A straight talking guide for anyone who wants stress less living and stronger health without bypassing the hard stuff. About the Guest: Michelle Spadafora is the founder of Faithful Workouts, a Christian fitness and wellness platform that has helped countless people integrate movement, nutrition and faith for over 40 years. Through free online workouts, meal plans, mindset programs and TV content, she teaches how peace, truth and God centered identity create deeper, more sustainable health than any quick fix plan. Key Takeaways: Chronic low level stress keeps your body in a constant fight or flight state, diverting energy away from digestion and immunity, which over time can fuel gut issues, auto immune problems and fatigue. Most people try to fix their health with behavior change on the surface, but long term transformation only happens when you go to the root beliefs and replace old lies like "I am an idiot" or "I hate my body" with truth based identity. Your brain builds neural pathways around repeated thoughts. learning to pause, notice the thought, ask if it is lie or truth and then consciously choose a new thought is how you begin to rewire your response to stress. Faith can act as an anchor in seasons of grief, loss and crisis. knowing you are already loved, seen and not alone shifts you from doing things for love to living from love, which drops anxiety in your system. Guilt about a specific action can sometimes nudge positive change, but shame that labels you as bad destroys confidence and peace. small, realistic wins and self compassion create far better health outcomes than perfectionism. Processing trauma often needs support. therapy, coaching, prayer and gentle movement can all help you re file old experiences so they no longer define you or trigger the same intense stress response. Movement does not have to be extreme to be healing. five minutes of dancing to music you love can start to shift your chemistry and open the door to kinder self talk and better choices. Peace is not passive. it is a daily decision to value your inner state, build rhythms that connect you with God and choose habits that support your nervous system so your body can finally heal.

In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Nazish sits down with integrative mind body health practitioner Melissa Deally, co founder of Amplify Impact Academy, to break down what Timeline Therapy actually is and how it works with the unconscious mind to release stuck emotions, trauma and limiting beliefs. Melissa walks through the role of the unconscious mind in storing memories, suppressing overwhelming emotions for survival and then resurfacing them as triggers when we are finally safe enough to heal. Instead of endlessly rehashing the past in talk therapy, she explains how Timeline Therapy uses the unconscious mind to access root causes, release anger, sadness, fear, guilt, shame and more, and create space for genuine peace, clarity and aligned action. This is a grounded look at emotional healing, anxiety, chronic stress and spiritual hygiene for people who are done with surface level fixes and want tools that actually help. About the guest: Melissa Deally is an integrative mind body health practitioner and co founder of Amplify Impact Academy. She specializes in Timeline Therapy, hypnotherapy and transformational coaching that blend science, psychology and spirituality. Through Quantum Life Mastery School, her Clear the Screen show and practitioner trainings, Melissa helps people clear emotional baggage, shift limiting decisions and build a sustainable lifestyle of spiritual and emotional hygiene, rather than relying only on talk therapy and quick fixes. Key takeaways: • The unconscious mind holds around 90 percent of our mental activity. It runs the body automatically, stores all memories from this life and beyond, and suppresses overwhelming emotions in moments of trauma so we can survive.• When you are finally safe, suppressed emotions resurface as triggers. Instead of avoiding triggers, Melissa reframes them as signals that you are ready to heal and release old emotional baggage.• Traditional talk therapy is powerful for awareness, but repeatedly retelling traumatic stories can keep the nervous system reliving the event. Timeline Therapy works directly with the unconscious mind, which already knows what happened, to extract learnings and let go of the emotional charge.• Emotions are stored as “gestalts” along a timeline, like beads on a necklace. Timeline Therapy aims for the root event of anger, sadness, fear or guilt. When that first event is cleared, the emotional charge across many later events often dissolves.• The modality can be used to address both past events and future anxiety. For acute anxiety about a specific exam, job interview or launch, Melissa guides clients 15 minutes beyond successful completion to rewire the mind from horror story to “clear screen” success story.• Physical symptoms often mirror unresolved emotional and mental conflict. Melissa teaches a four body model (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical) and emphasizes that by the time illness shows in the physical body, it has already moved through the other three, so healing needs to address all levels.• She positions Timeline Therapy as a lifestyle, not a one off fix. Monthly “cleanups” plus hypnotherapy and practical tools become part of ongoing spiritual hygiene, helping people stop running their adult life from old childhood programming.• Parents, leaders and practitioners can use these tools to improve relationships, communication and self regulation, and to teach the next generation how to work with their minds instead of being controlled by unconscious patterns.   Any references to physical illness and healing are framed as the guest’s perspective on mind body connections and as complementary, not a replacement for medical care. Timeline Therapy is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment.

In this profound conversation, spiritual teachers Alexander Dunlop and Viki Scudiery reveal how an ordinary deck of playing cards holds an ancient mathematical system — known as The Source Cards — that maps your soul’s blueprint. Based on your birthdate, you’re dealt a unique life path of 13+ cards revealing your purpose, patterns, challenges, shadows, and energetic design. Discover why life feels like déjà vu, how to balance masculine/feminine energies, and why even high-achievers often feel unfulfilled — until they learn to “play their cards right.” Key Takeaways: Your birth card (calculated mathematically from your birthday) is your core life strategy — e.g., Viki’s Nine of Hearts shows her path of emotional letting-go and universal love. Repeating patterns aren’t bad luck — they’re signals you’re playing the “low side” of your cards; awareness + alignment breaks the loop. Everyone has masculine and feminine energies in their card spread — imbalance (over-doing or over-receiving) can manifest as physical or emotional pain. High-achievers often experience deep loneliness (“it’s lonely at the top”) because true leadership means walking ahead of the crowd; a trusted guide helps process hidden doubts. Alone vs. Lonely: Solitude can be nourishing; loneliness signals a soul-level void that alignment with your blueprint fills. Knowing your full 13+ card life path creates soul-satisfying fulfillment — even after massive external success — by consciously aligning actions with your sacred design. The deck of cards isn’t a game — it’s an ancient “Book of Life” encoding the cycles of Earth and human experience.

On this episode of the Inner Peace, Better Health Podcast, we sit down with John Miles, award-winning author, visionary speaker, and founder of the Passion Struck Movement. This conversation cuts straight into the real stuff: why so many people feel invisible even while achieving more than ever, how modern culture confuses validation with true mattering, and what the science and spirituality of mattering teach us about belonging, identity, and meaning. John breaks down how micro-choices shape purpose. He also explains why today’s digital culture erodes deep connection and why children must learn the language of mattering early to build a more resilient, empathetic society. This is a grounded, practical, and bold conversation that challenges the way we define success, fulfillment, and human impact. ABOUT THE GUEST : John Miles is the creator of Passion Struck, a global movement empowering millions to live intentionally. He’s an award-winning author, behavioral science researcher, and podcast host known for bridging psychology, spirituality, and purpose-driven leadership. A former Fortune 50 executive, John now teaches the science of mattering and human flourishing worldwide. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Mattering is not the same as belonging. Belonging means being included. Mattering means being valued for your impact.• A lack of mattering leads to psychological and physical consequences including anxiety, depression, cardiovascular stress and emotional withdrawal.• Modern digital culture amplifies isolation by promoting individualism instead of human connection.• True success is not status-driven. It is impact-driven and rooted in relationships, meaning and contribution.• Intentional living starts with micro-moments and daily choices. These decisions ultimately shape identity and fulfillment.• Spiritual traditions across the world validate the universal human desire to matter. This parallels modern behavioral science.• Children must learn the foundations of mattering early. Their values are shaped between ages 4–10 and determine future emotional resilience.• Society becomes more empathetic when individuals transform one-to-one relationships. Change starts with personal connection, not mass movements.• Parents who feel they don’t matter struggle to model emotional connection for their children. This influences Gen Z and Gen Alpha deeply.• Teaching mattering creates ripple effects—one act of acknowledgement can alter hundreds of lives indirectly.

Autistic Hypnotist Lawrence Bartley breaks down how content-free hypnotherapy can quiet anxiety without rehashing trauma. We unpack imagination-based techniques, why hypnosis isn’t mind control, and how to adapt tapping when sensory sensitivities are real. If you care about practical anxiety relief, autistic-affirming tools, and science-meets-story service design, this convo delivers actionable frameworks you can test today.  About the guest: Lawrence Bartley, known as The Autistic Hypnotist, helps autistic individuals reduce anxiety using solution-focused, content-free hypnotherapy and simple nervous-system practices. He speaks from lived experience and teaches imagination as a lever for behavior change. Key takeaways: Hypnosis ≠ mind control. Clients accept or reject suggestions. agency stays with the client at every step. Content-free hypnotherapy focuses on solutions. not retelling trauma. Faster access to unconscious patterns that drive feelings and behavior. Imagination changes sensation. re-imagine anxiety’s “representation” then transform it. example. turning a graveyard image into a flower garden to shift the body’s response. Autistic-affirming adaptations matter. modify EFT tapping points if face touch is uncomfortable. try collarbone or hand. reduce background-noise load where possible. Practice inner peace as a skill. point to where tension sits, sense the spin or flow, then reverse it and amplify ease while breathing. Quick daily reset. Jin Shin Jyutsu finger holds for 1 minute each. thumb fear, index worry, middle anger, ring sadness, pinky low self-esteem. Rehearsal shift. swap catastrophe rehearsal for possibility rehearsal to convert nerves into excitement. Readiness is required. hypnosis works best when the client chooses healing and engages curiosity, repetition, and follow-through.

On Inner Peace Better Health, we get tactical about “unmasking”. Licensed Professional Counselor, meditation guide, and retreat host Alicia Zielinski Straub breaks down how over-efforting shows up in the body, why somatics plus breathwork reset the autonomic nervous system, and how to move from fear driven rigidity to grounded decision making. We translate neuroscience into daily habits that actually stick. If you’ve been confusing productivity for peace, this one’s a pattern interrupt. About the guest: Alicia Zielinski Straub is a Licensed Professional Counselor, meditation guide, and retreat host. She integrates mindfulness, somatics, and evidence-informed breath practices to help clients reconnect to their truest essence and make values-aligned choices in real life. Key takeaways: Unmasking starts by noticing performance patterns. over-achieving, pushing through pain, pretending things are fine. then asking what fear that pattern protects Somatic cues reveal the hidden story. watch posture, tension, breath holds, and contraction. the body flags shame and anxiety faster than the mind admits Breath is the regulator. a steady inhalation and exhalation downshifts heart rate and blood pressure. it reengages the prefrontal cortex and exits fight, flight, or freeze Mindfulness is experiential. consistency beats intensity. micro practices for a few minutes daily rewire a calmer baseline and reduce reactivity Discomfort is data. stay with sensations for ~90 seconds without spinning a story. most emotional waves pass if you breathe and witness Outcome obsession is a mask. widen perspective beyond narrow limbic focus. presence with the process unlocks better options than rigid plans Living from your core feels quiet and rooted. less defending or personalizing. more clarity, balanced choices, and durable peace Practical stack. name the sensation, lengthen the exhale, orient through five senses, then act from values not urgency Connect with the guest: Website/Email: https://aliciazstraubcounseling.com/ (contact email available on site) Instagram & Facebook: @journeywithalicia Phone/Text: available via website contact page Want to be a guest on Inner Peace Better Health.

On Inner Peace, Better Health, we pressure-test a provocative idea. Some bipolar episodes may function as spiritual emergencies that catalyze healing when handled safely. Author and facilitator Sean Blackwell unpacks holotropic breathwork, the “inner healer” field described by Stan Grof, and why he insists clients stay on prescribed medication until durable shifts are proven. We discuss ethics, retreat design, peer support, and how to translate peak states into dependable day-to-day functioning. This is not hype. It is a pragmatic operating model for seekers who want transformation without wrecking their lives or careers. About the Guest: Sean Blackwell is the author of Am I Bipolar or Waking Up. He facilitates modified holotropic breathwork retreats and runs the Bipolar Awakenings platform with books, videos, and free consults focused on the spiritual dimension of psychosis and bipolar experiences. Key Takeaways: “Spiritual emergency” can look like psychosis. With a safe container it can surface meaning and unresolved trauma. Breathwork is a catalyst. The heavy lifting comes from a larger healing field once safety and skilled facilitation are in place. Guardrails matter. Sean keeps clients on medication until measurable stability and coordinates tapering with clinicians only if appropriate. Paranoia blocks progress. Spiritual-toned experiences are easier to integrate than fear-driven states. Community accelerates recovery. Peer support from people who have “been there” reduces shame and isolation. Retreat design is critical. Longer windows and one-to-one attention prevent overwhelm and allow full completion of cycles. Embodiment is data. Somatic releases. including spine and breath patterns. often mirror psychological repair. Takeaway for listeners. Validate your experience. seek skilled support. and prioritize safety over speed.

On this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, we cut through noise and talk straight self-leadership. Albert Butler, CPA, author, and leadership mentor explains why your inner discipline is the engine for outer results, how financial clarity reduces stress and expands your ability to say “no,” and why legacy—not accolades—defines success. We get tactical with Plan-Act-Review, habits that center the mind, and decision rules that align money, mission, and meaning. If you’re ready to stop reacting and start directing your life and business, this conversation delivers practical steps you can use today. About the Guest: Albert Butler, CPA is an author and leadership mentor. His work blends financial rigor with purpose-driven self-leadership. His new book, “Life” (Amazon), distills family values, willpower, faith, perseverance, health, love, and everyday wisdom into a usable roadmap. Key Takeaways: Self-leadership first: Filter external “noise” through inner stillness; make choices from purpose, not pressure. Plan-Act-Review: Daily loop to set the plan, act fast, and review feedback; then reset the next plan. Financial clarity = freedom: Knowing your numbers creates the power to say no and choose aligned opportunities. Purpose over paychecks: Don’t chase money; design decisions around mission and equivalent value exchange. Confidence through awareness: Clear finances reduce anxiety and improve judgment under pressure. Success evolves: Early career = achievements; mature leadership = legacy and impact across generations. Protect the operator: “Mask on first” — self-care and mental health are prerequisites to leading others. Read to extend mentorship: Books are mentors at scale; learn from others’ mistakes to shorten your curve. Non-negotiable belief: Reject limits; “I can because I will, and I will because I can.” Discipline over motivation: Consistency beats mood; goals require daily behaviors linked to values. Legacy is more than assets: Leave knowledge, example, and decision frameworks, not just material wealth. People filter: Remove voices that question your worth or possibility; protect willpower and focus.

On Inner Peace Better Health, we pressure test the glossy myth of “making it” in film and get tactical about the grind. Vermont-raised filmmaker Austin Hamel breaks down loneliness on the creative path. How he shipped his indie film The Wanted to real audiences without a studio budget. And why habits like daily journaling, visualization, and ruthless prioritization beat vanity metrics every time. If you want a no-fluff look at craft, consistency, and moving from small town beginnings to a New York City vision. About the guest: Austin Hamel is a writer-director and editor from Vermont. He premiered a feature-length indie project in theaters at eighteen. He is now building a portfolio under Hamil Films while targeting a move to New York City to scale his storytelling career. Key takeaways: The path is often solitary. Alignment beats approval. Habits create resilience. Daily journaling, a written goals list, and self-talk keep focus under pressure. Ship before you feel ready. The Wanted proved value through audience turnout, not budget size. Feedback triage matters. Listen to people invested in your growth. Ignore clout-chasing put-downs. Work design is a choice. Full-time hours plus filmmaking requires boundaries and trade-offs. Metrics are lagging indicators. Meaningful work and consistency generate the numbers later. Use setbacks as raw material. Loss, mistakes, and fatigue can power better stories. Mantra for momentum. “I’m going to make it” tied to daily visualization hardwires belief into action.

On this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Charu talks with Rose Ann Forte—international best-selling author and creator of the Choose Freedom program—about practical, science-backed and faith-aligned strategies to quit alcohol and other life-interfering behaviors. Rose explains how reframing substances as “attractively packaged poison,” building daily disciplines (gratitude, scripture, reflection, prayer), and leveraging community accountability help rewire habits over 12 weeks and beyond. If you’re navigating alcohol, nicotine, compulsive phone use, or food triggers, this conversation delivers direct, actionable steps to restore health, purpose, and identity. About the guest: Rose Ann Forte is the creator of Choose Freedom and author of The Plans He Has for Me and Transformed by His Promises. A former executive and church leader, she blends neuroscience, behavior change, and Christian practice to help people overcome alcohol and other disruptive habits. Key takeaways : Awareness is step one: identify when, why, and how a behavior interferes with relationships, work, time, sleep, or finances. Reframe the substance/behavior (e.g., alcohol as “attractively packaged poison”) to reduce its appeal and interrupt autopilot loops. Habits wire through repetition; consistent practice for roughly 12 weeks can make new responses easier and more automatic. Daily disciplines—gratitude lists, short scripture meditation, brief reflection, and prayer—create a calm, intentional start and reinforce change. Community and accountability matter: share struggles and wins; being seen reduces shame and supports long-term maintenance. Expect seasonal/triggers variability (holidays, summer gatherings, family stress). Plan responses in advance for each trigger context. Purpose drives resilience: connecting change to values and meaning (including faith) improves adherence and life satisfaction. Relapse is data, not identity: use it to refine plans, strengthen boundaries, and recommit to the next small step. Non-substance behaviors (games, scrolling, sweets) can mimic substance cycles; apply the same awareness, boundaries, and replacement routines. It’s never too late to change; small, repeated choices compound into sustainable freedom.   How to connect with the guest Website: choosefreedom.today Podcast: Say Goodbye and Imagine Books and resources available via her website.

On Inner Peace, Better Health, licensed mental health counselor Anthony Marino (LCMHC) cuts through clichés to talk frankly about men’s mental health—stigma, culture, masculinity, and what actually helps. From why many men hesitate to seek support to how workplaces and families can normalize counseling, Anthony keeps the focus on clear actions: sleep, nutrition, exercise, and honest conversation. We also get into culturally specific barriers for men of color, healthier models of masculinity, and a first-step plan for anyone on the fence about therapy. This is a direct, practical guide for men—and for the people who care about them. About the guest: Anthony Marino, LCMHC is a licensed counselor and founder of Clinical Community Solutions. With 16+ years of practice, he specializes in men’s mental health, identity, relationships, and culturally aware care—particularly for men of color. Key takeaways: Stigma is shifting, but not gone: normalize counseling for men by framing help-seeking as strength and responsibility. Cultural context matters: explore where inherited beliefs come from, whether you truly agree with them, and what you’ll do next. Practical “bedrock routines” beat abstract advice: prioritize sleep quality, nutrient-dense food, and regular movement to stabilize mood and thinking. Track what you do: simple apps (sleep, food logs, run/fitness trackers) make progress visible and reinforce consistency. Masculinity isn’t one template: define what being a man means to you—not to movies, porn, or outdated scripts. Families and workplaces influence outcomes: move from “tough it out” to “talk it out,” and model supportive language and policies. Intercultural relationships carry added pressure: honesty—first with yourself, then with family—reduces secrecy and stress. Generational shift: younger men tend to talk more openly; older men may need structured prompts and time. First step if you’re hesitant: “therapist dating”—scan profiles, pick someone you could talk to, try a session, evaluate fit. Faith can steady the start: if relevant, use personal values or faith traditions to support that first leap into care.

On Inner Peace, Better Health, we get practical about mental health accessibility—what actually helps families get care. Dr. Assumpta Ekeh, Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Family Behavioral Health Services, explains why evening and weekend appointments, telehealth, and family-centered care remove real-world barriers for children, adolescents, and adults. We cover tailored, evidence-based approaches for ADHD, anxiety, and autism; reducing stigma with community education; and how listeners can advocate locally using online resources.  About the guest: Dr. Assumpta Ekeh is a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and certified School Nurse. As founder of Family Behavioral Health Services, she delivers accessible care with evening, weekend, and telehealth options, focusing on children, adolescents, and adults through individualized, evidence-based treatment. Key takeaways : Access matters: Extending evening and weekend hours plus telehealth lets working parents and students get timely care without missing work or school. Family-centered model: Involving families in assessment, planning, and follow-through improves adherence and outcomes for youth and young adults. Thorough assessment first: Comprehensive, age-appropriate evaluations guide diagnosis and tailored treatment—what works for one child may not work for another. Condition-specific care: Plans for ADHD, anxiety, and autism differ and should match the individual’s needs, context, and supports (home, school, peers). Evidence-based, personalized: Combine therapies and, when appropriate, medications with measurable goals and regular review. Reduce stigma: Education and culturally aware communication help families seek help earlier and stick with care. Start local, use tech: Search local directories, state mental-health divisions, and vetted online resources to find low-cost or free options. Action step for listeners: Advocate for extended hours in local clinics/schools, share resource lists, and champion privacy-respecting telehealth access.

On this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, we get direct about what healing really takes—beyond prescriptions and platitudes. Dr. Jonathan Locust , founder of ConsciRise, breaks down how a 24-day water fast, disciplined mindset, and consciousness work can catalyze real change. We cover the link between intention and biology, non-linear identity (including past-life regression experiences), and simple starting points—dream analysis, active imagination, breath-based meditation, and ethical guidance. You’ll also hear why vetted practitioners matter and how to avoid scams in the spiritual-wellness space. If you’re serious about healing, this is a clear, grounded roadmap you can act on today. About the Guest: Dr. Jonathan Locust is the founder of ConsciRise, a community that vets holistic practitioners through interviews, credential checks, and background verification. His work integrates academic rigor with lived practice—fasting, hypnosis-based regression, and consciousness studies—to help people align mind, body, and spirit for measurable transformation. Key Takeaways: A 24-day water fast catalyzed healing when intention, discipline, and inner alignment were non-negotiable. Mind leads body: set a clear, high-integrity intention; physiology often follows. Healing radiates outward—your regulated state positively impacts people around you. Dream analysis starter: write the dream immediately; list symbols (people, places, colors); associate them with what’s active in your life today; synthesize the message. Active imagination + visualization + service-oriented intention add energy to desired outcomes. Meditation can be simple: consistent breath, release, and attention are enough to begin. Lived insights from regression work point to identity as a continuum; extract the lesson behind each experience to move forward. The spiritual market is rife with scams; protect yourself with vetted communities (interviews, credential verification, background checks) before hiring practitioners. Safe first steps: read foundational texts (e.g., on reincarnation and quantum physics), journal dreams, practice daily grounding (imagine your energetic spine connecting to the earth). Core principle: authenticity + awareness + small intentional actions drive sustainable change. *This episode includes a brief mention of childhood sexual abuse and violence within an educational and healing context. Listener discretion is advised. The discussion is focused on forgiveness, trauma healing, and consciousness work, not on graphic or explicit details.

On Inner Peace, Better Health, host Charu speaks with Alex Duenas—coach and fitness entrepreneur—about practical mindset shifts that turn pain into purpose. Alex breaks down why most people don’t start (or don’t stick) with change, how to use 10-minute micro-habits, why waking up early stacks momentum, and how results—not motivation—drive consistency. We cover accountability, faith, and replacing instant gratification with disciplined daily wins so you feel proud, not guilty. If you’re stuck in self-sabotage, this conversation gives you clear, low-friction steps to start and sustain progress. About the guest: Alex Duenas is a mindset and fitness coach who helps people overcome vices and build self-mastery through simple, consistent routines. A former gym owner turned online coach, he focuses on discipline, faith, and scalable daily habits that create real results. Key takeaways: Start tiny: 4–5 days of 10-minute home workouts beat unsustainable all-or-nothing plans. Results create motivation. Design actions that show progress early, so you keep showing up. Stack morning wins: wake up early, read something positive, move your body. Pride beats guilt. The real blocker isn’t “overthinking,” it’s over-listening to negative self-talk. Flood your inputs with uplifting voices. Consistency > intensity. Five push-ups daily outperforms big bursts you can’t repeat. If you’ve failed before, it’s not you—it’s the plan. Get a “tutor” (mentor/coach) like you would for a child repeating a grade. Swap instant gratification (doom-scrolling, junk food, etc.) for earned satisfaction from difficult but doable tasks. Faith and purpose help reframe obstacles as training—your problem is less the problem than how you feel facing it. Two core human fears—not being loved and not being good enough—often fuel sabotage; address them with action and honest supports. Environment matters: curate what you read, watch, and hear to reinforce the identity you’re building.

On Inner Peace, Better Health, host Charu speaks with Marine Corps veteran and resilience advocate Jay Setchell about rebuilding life after 73 surgeries, partial paralysis, and multiple near-death experiences. Jay’s direct, pragmatic framework—“inch by inch, it’s a cinch” and “if it is to be, it is up to me”—shows listeners how to turn struggle into momentum, anchor progress with faith, and keep going when quitting seems easier.  About the Guest: Jay Setchell is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and speaker who channels five decades of hard-won lessons into actionable tools for persistence. After surviving severe injuries, extensive surgeries, and long rehabilitation, he now teaches how faith, focus, and consistent micro-steps compound into lasting change. Key Takeaways: “Never quit” is a system, not a slogan: commit to daily micro-steps that compound into real mobility, mindset shifts, and outcomes. Anchor progress with beliefs you can act on: faith, purpose, and clear self-talk (“If it is to be, it is up to me”). Use constraints as fuel: pain, frustration, and anger can be redirected into structured practice and disciplined routines. Build strength “from the shoulders up”: mindset, planning, and focus matter more than current physical capacity. Track wins to renew belief: small weekly gains reinforce motivation and make the hard work sustainable. Borrow steadiness from simple truths and stories (e.g., the tortoise and the hare) to normalize slow, consistent progress. Translate big goals into inches: avoid all-at-once thinking; design reps, bands, and time-boxed practice you will actually do. Spiritual practices and prayer can be powerful resilience multipliers for those who value them. Reframe struggle as training: every obstacle is a rep that strengthens problem-solving and self-trust. Community matters: accept support, offer help, and “pay it forward” to multiply collective resilience.

In this episode of Inner peace, better health, host Sayan and Claudia Six, PhD—board-certified clinical sexologist, therapist, researcher, author, and two-time TEDx speaker—break down how to build real inner peace you can use daily. We cover presence over autopilot, connection over avoidance, and simple, research-backed practices (neuroplasticity, reframing, boundaries, and truth-telling) that move you from survival patterns to grounded living—without fluff.  About the guest: Claudia Six, PhD is a San Francisco–based clinical sexologist and relationship therapist with 30+ years helping individuals and couples cultivate presence, connection, and emotionally honest intimacy. Her work blends psychology, neuroscience, and practical tools to resolve stuck dynamics without shame or blame. Key takeaways: Presence first. You can’t connect with a partner if you’re not present with yourself. Quiet time without devices builds awareness and capacity. Tolerate discomfort. Stop numbing (alcohol, scrolling, shopping). Sit with feelings; clarity emerges after the wave. Simple brain rewiring. Notice anticipatory negative thoughts and replace them with realistic, supportive ones. Neuroplasticity is trained repetition. Say it out loud. Suffering grows in silence. Speak truth in “I” language; you can refine later. Honesty reduces emotional charge and invites support. No one is broken. Problems are usually relational dynamics, not “bad people.” Explore family history, beliefs (“I’m not lovable,” “My needs don’t matter”), and ineffective habits. Communication is a skill. Everyone communicates; few do it effectively. Learn direct, respectful bids, reflective listening, and clear requests. When stuck, get help. Expert perspective reveals why your pairing made sense—and how it now traps you. Guidance accelerates change. Daily practice beats theory. Small rituals—breath before reacting, one gratitude, one boundary—compound into calm, connection, and agency.

On Inner Peace, Better Health, host Sayan talks with Ranbir Puar—speaker, author, clinical hypnotherapist, and “nervous system architect.” We unpack how bottom-up, body-led tools (vagus-nerve sound protocols, neurofeedback, HeartMath) and timeless spiritual wisdom work together to reduce anxiety, rewire patterns, and build real-world resilience. Ranbir breaks down why micro-practices beat affirmations, how to reframe anxiety as “anticipation,” and why presence and ambition can coexist. We also highlight her Today I Practice app (iOS/Android) for daily mind-habit reps you can actually stick with. If you’ve tried top-down mindset work and stalled, this conversation shows a clearer, faster path to calm, focus, and sustainable growth. About the guest: Ranbir Puar blends neuroscience, somatic regulation, mindset training, and clinical hypnotherapy. Since 2009 she has helped adults and children accelerate change using tools like neurofeedback, HeartMath, and integrated listening/vagus-nerve sound protocols, grounded in practical spirituality. Key takeaways: Bottom-up beats top-down: working through the body and subconscious (not just thoughts) drives durable change by calming the nervous system and widening possibilities. Vagus-nerve sound protocols and bone-conduction audio can signal safety to the brain and support focus, sleep, and emotional regulation. Neurofeedback at home increases follow-through; tailored programs can target sleep, pain, or anxiety patterns. Replace “I have anxiety” with “I have anticipation.” Ask: What am I anticipating? How can I prepare? When have I been OK before? When overwhelmed, do jumping jacks: ground through the feet, expand posture (signals safety), and engage breathing without overthinking. Micro-practices > affirmations: consistent, realistic reps build self-trust and momentum; affirmations without evidence can erode trust. Today I Practice (app) delivers daily mind-habit prompts that compound into resilience. Presence and ambition can coexist: spirituality isn’t escape—it’s full participation with clarity and boundaries. Respect both ancient wisdom and modern science—they’re complementary lenses for healing and growth. Marketing thrives on dysregulation; protect your attention, build resilience, and choose inputs deliberately.
