When life pivots hard, platitudes flop. In this candid conversation, Laura Bratton breaks down how she navigated progressive blindness at 19. She operationalizes “grit” as naming the fear then moving anyway, and “gratitude” as appreciating what helps in the hard moments. We unpack non-linear acceptance, why grief can coexist with growth, and how spirituality functions as both anchor and compass.   About the guest   Laura Bratton is a resilience coach, speaker, and author of Harnessing Courage. She lost her sight at 19 and has since helped individuals and organizations build practical tools for navigating change. Her work emphasizes present-moment focus, values-aligned action, and sustainable confidence.   Key takeaways   Acceptance is not a one-off decision. It is a series of micro-choices that compound over time. Expect two steps forward, three messy ones sideways. Define grit with precision. Acknowledge fear, anxiety, or doubt in plain language, then execute the next best action that aligns to your goal. Gratitude is not toxic positivity. It is noticing resources that help during difficulty. Training support systems, guide dogs, community, and routines count. Grief and gratitude can coexist. Grieving is not failure or weakness. It is an honest response to loss that can live beside momentum. Present-moment management reduces overwhelm. Shift attention from “everything forever” to “this minute, this task, this breath.” Spirituality as infrastructure. Treat faith as connection that grounds identity and worth beyond circumstance. Model belief. Support teams or family by demonstrating calm, day-by-day execution rather than empty reassurance. Return to the field. For athletes and professionals post-setback. Validate the fear of recurrence. Step back in play by play with clear constraints and feedback loops. Language that works. “Name it. normalize it. next step.” Build self-trust by keeping small promises in sequence. Resilience is built. not bestowed. Systems beat slogans. Daily reflections, micro-goals, and community create durable confidence.   How to connect with the guest   Website: laurabratton.com Book: Harnessing Courage Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life.

On Soul Sparks, host Aanya sits down with Christine Ruch to break down what nervous system restoration actually means when you’re living through chronic illness, emotional overwhelm, or long-term dysregulation. Christine shares how her lived experience with MS and multiple health conditions evolved from fear and uncertainty into a body-led healing path rooted in somatic work, trauma awareness, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and spiritual connection.This conversation challenges the “quick fix” wellness mindset. It spotlights subtle signals of regulation like improved sleep, calmer breathing, easier digestion, and less reactivity in relationships. If you’re tired of siloed healing advice and want a more integrated approach to mind-body-soul alignment this episode delivers practical perspective without the fluff.   About the Guest  : Christine Ruch is a holistic transformation guide and culinary innovator. Her work integrates nervous system restoration, somatic exploration, trauma-informed healing, nutrition, and spiritual practices. Her personal journey navigating MS shaped her approach to helping others rebuild trust with their bodies and create sustainable healing momentum.   Key Takeaways: Nervous system restoration is bigger than stress reduction. It includes how you perceive stress, dismiss it or even normalize dysregulation as “just life.” The body stores unprocessed emotions and trauma. When they stay unfelt they can show up as long-term tension, hypervigilance, shutdown, or chronic symptoms. Regulation often shows up in quiet upgrades. Better sleep, deeper breathing, fewer headaches, smoother digestion, and less emotional charge in triggering conversations. Healing works best when it’s integrated. Nutrition, somatic practices, emotional processing, and spirituality create stronger results together than in isolation. Extremes can keep you stuck. Over-restriction or giving up entirely both strain the nervous system. The middle path is where stability lives. Your body leads the sequence. Two people can share the same diagnosis but need totally different next steps based on physiology, life context, and capacity. Shifting power back inward matters. External support is helpful but body-trust and self-leadership change the entire healing trajectory.   How Listeners Can Connect with the Guest  :   Website Find Christine Ruch on Instagram Substack   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Soul Sparks with Saima, JD Pincus breaks down a bold idea. The spiritual domain is not a side topic. It is the underlying layer of reality that shapes motivation, emotions, ethics, and meaning. JD connects classic psychology frameworks like Maslow’s hierarchy with moral development models, showing how human growth can move from safety and survival, to social belonging, to purpose, and ultimately spiritual transcendence. He also explains why suffering can strip away distractions and force deeper clarity. You will also hear a grounded take on the so called “science vs spirituality” debate, including how modern physics and unseen forces can make room for a bigger worldview. If you want a practical lens on emotions as signals, growth as a ladder, and spirituality as the foundation beneath everyday choices, this one hits.   About the Guest  : JD Pincus is a psychology-based thinker focused on motivation, emotional needs, and human development. He shares a framework of needs that evolve from basic safety to higher principles like justice, ethics, and transcendence.   Key Takeaways: Human motivation can be mapped as a developmental climb from psychological safety to spiritual transcendence. Classic frameworks like Maslow and moral development models point to a top stage that prioritizes principle over personal gain. Many people get “stuck” at certain needs, which narrows perspective and blocks deeper maturation. Suffering can remove everyday distractions, forcing a reset toward what actually matters. Emotions act like homeostasis indicators, they signal imbalance and push us back toward alignment. Beyond food, sleep, and safety, humans also “need” justice, ethics, and purpose to feel whole. The spiritual pull appears across cultures, religion shows up everywhere because the impulse is universal. Invisible forces are normal in life, gravity and radio waves are unseen but real, spirituality can be approached similarly. Science and spirituality do not have to conflict, modern physics often raises questions that expand our worldview. Personal growth is not a shortcut, it is a full ladder, lived through real choices across self, material, social, and spiritual domains.   How Listeners Can Connect With the Guest   Facebook Website: https://agilebrain.com/ Free assessment: available on the site as a quick image-based profile Book: The Emotionally Agile Brain - Mastering the Twelve Emotional Needs That Drive Us   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Soul Sparks,, host Saima sits down with Baiba Wisse to unpack the quiet disconnect many high performers feel. The one where life looks “successful” on paper, but inside you are running on fumes. Baiba shares how purpose is rarely a single breakthrough moment, it is a layered process that often starts in childhood conditioning and keeps unfolding as you get more honest with yourself. Together they talk about the reality of corporate exhaustion, how fear can dress up as “practicality” and keep you stuck, and what it actually means to feel alive again. Not as a concept, but as an embodied signal. Baiba offers a simple gut check. If money was fully handled tomorrow would you still choose your current work and the way you are doing it. The conversation closes with a grounded starting point for anyone who feels disconnected from their inner compass. Slow down, listen and stop arguing with the truth your body already knows. About the Guest  : Baiba Wisse is a mentor and podcast host who teaches from lived experience. Her work focuses on purpose, self trust, intuition, and helping people shift from misalignment, stress, and fatigue into vitality and essence led living. Key Takeaways  : Purpose is not a one time “aha”. It is an ongoing alchemy that unfolds in layers over time. External success can still feel empty when it is built from conditioning instead of choice. A sharp self check. If you had financial freedom tomorrow would you still do this work, this way. Feeling alive is embodied. It feels like enthusiasm for the day, even on a Monday. Fear often disguises itself as practicality. And society will help you rationalize staying stuck. Courage is required to unplug from old wiring, especially when it started in childhood. Essence led work creates “flow” signals. Losing track of time, enjoying the process and feeling real pleasure in creation. Start small. Put a hand on your heart, listen for the disconnect and journal the honest answers without performing for anyone. Misalignment often shows up as fatigue, anxiety and chronic stress before it shows up as “clarity.” The first move is not quitting everything. It is stopping the self gaslighting and rebuilding trust with your intuition.

In this episode of Soul Sparks, host Saima sits down with Alan Lazaros to unpack what it really takes to optimize your life for fulfillment, not just metrics and milestones. Alan breaks down fulfillment as an outcome of alignment with your highest self, not a destination you can hustle your way into. He explains why chasing status, social validation and shiny titles leaves so many high achievers feeling empty, and how to reorient your life around meaning, growth and contribution. From the difference between the "real world" and the "social world" to using concepts like optimal stopping and the "drive to five" to avoid extremes, Alan shows how to architect a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. If you care about mental health, personal growth and building success that actually sustains you, this conversation gives you a clear, practical roadmap you can start applying now across work, relationships and self leadership. ABOUT THE GUEST: Alan Lazaros is a coach, speaker and co-founder of Next Level University, a global self-improvement platform built around holistic growth in health, wealth and love. After a near fatal car accident and deep personal loss, he rebuilt his life around one core question. How do you design a life that is both successful and deeply fulfilling. With more than 11,000 hours of coaching, training and podcasting experience, Alan works with clients worldwide to align their goals, habits and identity with meaningful long term outcomes instead of short term validation. Key Takeaways: Fulfillment is an effect, not a goal. It is the by-product of living in alignment with your highest self, doing meaningful work and consistently growing, not a finish line you can hit by chasing external success. Work needs meaning, not just money. Whether you call it job, career or calling, the way you invest most of your waking hours will determine your mental health, emotional wellbeing and long term satisfaction. Beware the pleasure trap. Quick hits of comfort and distraction feel good for a moment but erode self respect. Fulfillment comes from challenge, virtue and doing what is hard but aligned. Life is a harmony of extremes. Discipline and compassion, logic and emotion, service and healthy selfishness. The goal is not choosing one side but learning to integrate both in a sustainable way. Use the “optimal stopping” lens. There is always a point where more effort becomes counterproductive. Learning when to stop, pivot or recalibrate is a core part of mature decision making. Real world over social world. The real world is who you are when no one is watching. The social world is the highlight reel. Long term mental health and true fulfillment require building from the inside out, not the outside in.

In this episode on the Soul Sparks of Healthy Mind By Avik™ podcast network, host Yusuf sits down with entrepreneur and spiritual teacher Dylan Borland to unpack what it really means to live on purpose in 2025. They trace Dylan’s journey from high-income real estate success and burnout to inner mastery, conscious creation, and service driven work through Caden Academy. You will hear a candid breakdown of how identity, mindset, imagination and faith shape the outer reality we experience. Dylan shares how losing his entire real estate empire became the turning point that pushed him out of complacency into alignment. About The Guest: Dylan Borland is a former high volume real estate investor who fixed and flipped seven to ten homes a month and owned more than 100 million dollars in multifamily real estate. After his business collapsed, he shifted from chasing income to pursuing purpose through deep spiritual work. Today he runs Caden Academy, where he teaches inner transformation, conscious creation and mindset to help people remember who they really are and design a life that feels aligned, meaningful and free from fear and victimhood. Key Takeaways  : Purpose is not the first thing Dylan chased. Real estate was initially an income play, not a soul aligned mission. True purpose showed up when he started teaching and seeing people’s lives change. Inner mastery starts with awareness. You cannot rewrite what you are not willing to notice in yourself, whether it is anger, fear, scarcity, or old family and cultural conditioning. Your outer world mirrors your inner beliefs. The subconscious does not judge good or bad. It simply reflects what you repeatedly tell it through your thoughts, self talk and emotional state. Conscious creation is simple but not always easy. Vision in your imagination, the feeling of that vision being real, and faith despite current circumstances start to reshape reality over time. Discipline becomes a natural side effect when your inner vision is clear. You are pulled toward consistent action instead of forcing yourself to grind with no alignment. You can recontextualize your story at any moment. Replacing “I am unlucky” with “life supports me” and repeating it until it feels true gradually changes how you show up and what you attract. Life is chapters, not a single sentence. Each year you get to rewrite the next chapter with more wisdom, more play and more alignment, instead of clinging to an old role or identity. Connect With The Guest: Website & free digital copy of Imagination Creates Reality: cadenacademy.com Community: Inner Edge Facebook group (linked from the website) Dylan’s 12 week inner transformation course includes the first three weeks free so listeners can begin practicing conscious creation, shifting their inner story and moving from fear and victimhood to aligned design of their lives.

On this episode of Soul Sparks with Saima, licensed marriage and family therapist, recovery coach and spiritual guide Whitney Walker unpacks how generational trauma, codependency and addiction quietly shape our identities, relationships and mental health. This is a grounded conversation about what happens when family patterns feel “normal” yet keep you small, anxious and dependent on others for approval. Whitney explains how codependency becomes an emotional addiction, why anxiety is actually useful data and how women especially inherit beliefs about needing a partner to feel safe or worthy. Together, Sima and Whitney walk through practical ways to identify inherited patterns, build emotional regulation from the inside out and start making decisions that come from authenticity instead of fear. If you are navigating family wounds, people pleasing or chronic self doubt, this episode offers a direct, no fluff roadmap to interrupt the legacy and create a healthier emotional blueprint for the next generation.   About The Guest  :   Whitney Walker is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, recovery coach and spiritual guide. She works primarily with women on codependency, addiction, generational trauma and sovereignty. Her work blends clinical tools with spiritual awareness to help people move from survival patterns to authentic self trust and emotional freedom.   Key Takeaways  : Generational trauma is less about one event and more about repeated patterns in a family system that get treated as “normal” even when they are harmful. Many people do not recognise generational trauma until they are exposed to therapy, healing work or new models of healthy behaviour. Awareness is the first disruption. Codependency is using someone or something outside yourself for emotional regulation, safety and decision making that should come from within. For many women, culture has reinforced the belief that they cannot thrive without a partner, which normalises emotional dependence and self abandonment. Anxiety is often a signal that you are stuck in an old pattern or ignoring your authentic self, not proof that something is wrong with you. The authentic self trusts its own inner wisdom, takes risks without waiting for permission and views mistakes as learning, not as failure. Breaking generational trauma starts with one person naming the pattern, choosing different behaviours and treating themselves with kindness instead of self punishment.   How Listeners Can Connect With The Guest  : To learn more about Whitney Walker’s therapy and recovery coaching work, listeners can: Search for “Whitney Walker therapist generational trauma and codependency” to find her professional website and offerings Follow her on her professional social channels and podcasts where she speaks on addiction recovery, women’s empowerment and spiritual healing Reach out through her coaching or therapy contact channels for sessions, workshops or collaborations - Connect with Whitney Walker   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

They unpack how unresolved emotions, unprocessed stress, and survival chemistry can keep the body stuck even when labs, medications and protocols look “fine.” J'Nai explains how their method combines functional medicine, nervous system regulation, somatic work, energy tools and human design to help clients move from constant fight-or-flight into safety and coherence. Stephanie draws on 15 years in traditional nursing and her own autoimmune journey to show how cortisol resistance, chronic stress and gut breakdown are not character flaws. They are biochemistry. If you are a high-achieving woman running on fumes, this conversation strips away the fluff. You will hear practical language for understanding cortisol, inflammation and nervous system overload, plus simple practices like the Meraki Walk, daily mantras and energetic “returning” of other people’s stress so you can stop carrying more than your body was built to hold. About the Guests  : J'Nai Danielle Zugates is a co-founder of The Meraki Way and Meraki Functional Reset. After healing her own autoimmune symptoms and long COVID when conventional medicine stalled, she developed an integrative framework that blends functional testing, somatic healing, energy work, nervous system tools and human design to help clients resolve chronic pain, inflammation and burnout from the root. Stephanie Thorpe is a registered nurse, functional practitioner and co-founder of Meraki Functional Reset. With 15 years in traditional healthcare, she reached a breaking point with her own autoimmune illness, heavy medications and long-term infusions. That lived experience pushed her into a data-driven but deeply holistic approach that tracks biomarkers, cortisol rhythms and gut health while addressing the emotional and lifestyle patterns driving chronic stress. Together, J'Nai and Stephanie support high-achieving, highly sensitive clients who are tired of feeling “broken” by their own bodies and want a medically literate, spiritually grounded path back to real energy and regulation. Key Takeaways  : Chronic stress is not just “in your head.” Long-term cortisol activation, cortisol resistance and inflammation change how your cells, gut barrier and nervous system function and show up as burnout, brain fog, gut issues and reactivity. Functional testing can reveal what standard labs miss, including how cells are firing, how the gut is performing and how stress hormones are actually behaving throughout the day. Data becomes a mirror for hard lifestyle truths. The Meraki Way links functional medicine with somatic healing, energy work and nervous system tools. When the body is supported and the mind feels safe, symptoms often shift more quickly and more sustainably than with protocols alone. Techniques like holographic memory work aim to help the brain update old traumatic imprints so the body no longer reacts as if an old event is still happening now. Framed as client stories, not universal promises. High-achieving women often burn out from chronic over-care, perfectionism and self-betrayal. The nervous system stays on permanent “bear chase,” and eventually cortisol drops, leaving exhaustion, inflammation and nothing that seems to work. Simple daily practices matter. Returning other people’s stress “back” in visualization, using grounding mantras, walking after stressful moments, shaking out energy and reconnecting with nature all help discharge survival chemistry. Human design is used as an optional lens to help clients understand their decision-making style, energy patterns and timing, so they stop forcing themselves into identities and rhythms that work against their system.

In this powerful episode of Soul Sparks, host Yusuf sits down with award-winning longevity expert, 7-time author, and CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas, Judy Gaman. Judy reveals why “busy” has become a destructive four-letter word in modern culture, how glorifying exhaustion is silently shortening lives, and what she learned from centenarians (including her dear friend Lucille, who lived to 104) and from her own battle with Lyme disease that finally forced her to slow down. This conversation is a wake-up call for anyone who wears busyness as a badge of honor. Key Takeaways   “Busy” is a four-letter word: Society has turned constant motion into proof of success, but science shows multitasking is a myth — your brain simply rapid-switches and becomes less effective. Chronic busyness physically breaks the body: Stress shows up as joint pain, headaches, poor sleep, memory issues, gut imbalance, and even increased risk of early death (Japan literally has a medical term for “death from overwork”). The brain needs to reboot: Like a computer with too many tabs open, an overtaxed mind performs worse. Rest, vacations, and deliberate pauses spark the best ideas and highest productivity. When you’re tired, rest — a simple rule centenarians live by that most high-achievers ignore. The heart–brain–gut axis is real: Overworking the mind exhausts the heart and disrupts the microbiome, worsening anxiety, depression, and overall health. Your habits aren’t always yours: Many of our “push-through” work ethics were modeled by parents and culture — recognizing this is the first step to breaking the cycle. Profound wisdom from Lucille (100–104 years old): “If you have breath in you, you have purpose.” No matter your age or circumstance, slow down enough to discover and live that purpose.

In this Soul Parks episode, host Yusuf sits down with Alexander and Viki to unpack how an ordinary deck of 52 playing cards can act as a precise map of your life path, relationships and purpose. They walk through the Source Cards system, a mathematics based framework that aligns every card with the solar year and uses your date of birth to reveal 13 core archetypes shaping your emotional patterns, leadership style and spiritual growth. Alexander shares his journey from Roman Catholic seminary, Harvard, Wall Street, psychedelics and plant medicine to a Brooklyn party where he discovered he was born to play the Nine of Hearts and finally found language for decades of searching. Viki explains how seeing her own cards brought deep clarity to health struggles, relationship dynamics and emotional healing. Together they show Yusuf, a King of Hearts, how leadership and emotional expression are baked into his blueprint and why life gets easier when you stop copying others and start playing your own cards right. This is a grounded, practical entry point into Source Cards for listeners curious about destiny, self awareness and conscious decision making.   About The Guests  : Alexander and Viki are co creators and teachers at The Source Cards, a system that uses the 52 playing cards to decode life paths, emotional patterns and relationship dynamics. Drawing on decades of spiritual practice, energy work, philosophy and coaching, they help clients use their personal card sequence to make aligned choices in love, career, money and family. Their work includes private life audits, teaching programs and Alexander’s book, “Play Your Cards Right: A Sacred Guide to Life on Earth.”   Key Takeaways : A standard deck of 52 playing cards mirrors the solar year, with 52 cards for 52 weeks, 4 suits for 4 seasons and 13 cards per suit for 13 weeks per season. When you add the numeric values of all 52 cards, then include the Joker as the fifth element, you get 365.25, which matches the earth’s orbit and frames the system as mathematical, not random. Each person is “born to play” a primary birth card plus 12 supporting cards that make up a 13 card life path, offering specific guidance for purpose, patterns and challenges. Yusuf’s King of Hearts card reflects a natural role as a heartfelt leader, where emotional expression, writing and connection are key leadership tools, even if leadership initially feels intimidating. Every card has a high side and a low side. Conscious growth is about choosing the high expression rather than trying to become someone else. The system includes specific cards for feminine energy (Venus) and masculine energy (Mars), helping people balance receptivity with drive in a concrete way. Family members often appear symbolically in a person’s life path, mirroring lessons and growth edges rather than repeating exact cards. The “winning move” is not chasing a one size fits all formula. It is learning your own cards and playing them with awareness so that synchronicities, right people and aligned opportunities show up more often.   How Listeners Can Connect With The Guests   Website: https://www.thesourcecards.comBook: Play Your Cards Right (available through their website)Program Card lookups, classes, life audits, certification, and executive coaching.Look up your birth card and personality card on their home page.

When life pivots hard, platitudes flop. In this candid conversation, Laura Bratton breaks down how she navigated progressive blindness at 19. She operationalizes “grit” as naming the fear then moving anyway, and “gratitude” as appreciating what helps in the hard moments. We unpack non-linear acceptance, why grief can coexist with growth, and how spirituality functions as both anchor and compass.   About the guest   Laura Bratton is a resilience coach, speaker, and author of Harnessing Courage. She lost her sight at 19 and has since helped individuals and organizations build practical tools for navigating change. Her work emphasizes present-moment focus, values-aligned action, and sustainable confidence.   Key takeaways   Acceptance is not a one-off decision. It is a series of micro-choices that compound over time. Expect two steps forward, three messy ones sideways. Define grit with precision. Acknowledge fear, anxiety, or doubt in plain language, then execute the next best action that aligns to your goal. Gratitude is not toxic positivity. It is noticing resources that help during difficulty. Training support systems, guide dogs, community, and routines count. Grief and gratitude can coexist. Grieving is not failure or weakness. It is an honest response to loss that can live beside momentum. Present-moment management reduces overwhelm. Shift attention from “everything forever” to “this minute, this task, this breath.” Spirituality as infrastructure. Treat faith as connection that grounds identity and worth beyond circumstance. Model belief. Support teams or family by demonstrating calm, day-by-day execution rather than empty reassurance. Return to the field. For athletes and professionals post-setback. Validate the fear of recurrence. Step back in play by play with clear constraints and feedback loops. Language that works. “Name it. normalize it. next step.” Build self-trust by keeping small promises in sequence. Resilience is built. not bestowed. Systems beat slogans. Daily reflections, micro-goals, and community create durable confidence.   How to connect with the guest   Website: laurabratton.com Book: Harnessing Courage Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life.

In this illuminating episode of Soul Sparks, host Yusuf welcomes Sean Blackwell, author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder and certified Holotropic Breathwork facilitator. Sean recounts his own 1996 psychotic episode—triggered by a near-death scuba accident and intense meditation—as a profound spiritual emergency rather than mental illness. Drawing from Dr. Stanislav Grof's work, Sean explains how bipolar crises often stem from unresolved trauma blocked in the chakra/Kundalini system, and how Holotropic Breathwork (and his adapted Bipolar Breathwork) releases this energy safely. He shares a balanced, compassionate approach: respecting psychiatric medication while guiding deep holistic healing through intensive retreats, emphasizing that true recovery requires courage, surrender, and integration of the spiritual dimension. Key Takeaways: Sean's 1996 "breakdown" began with sharpened senses, oneness, and all-knowingness during meditation, escalating to spiritual delusions (believing he died and needed to meet God)—yet it ended years of depression and tripled his income, proving it was a beneficial spiritual emergency. Signs of spiritual awakening vs. disorder: Dream-like reality, heightened senses, oneness, but also messianic delusions or good-vs-evil battles—these have spiritual roots, not just biological ones. Bipolar experiences are often linked to deep trauma (including sexual abuse or near-death events) stored in the bioenergetic/chakra system, not brain chemistry faults. Holotropic Breathwork: Aggressive breathing in a safe, facilitated setting with evocative music opens the ego, surfaces repressed trauma, and allows physical/vocal release—healing what medication only suppresses. Safety first: Never abandon meds abruptly; use breathwork while stabilized, then gradually reduce under psychiatric supervision if improvements occur. During acute psychosis: "Be with them, not do to them"—provide quiet support and protection without controlling or dismissing their symbolic truths. Early intervention (first episodes) can resolve without lifelong meds (like Soteria House model), but repeated episodes often need integrated approaches like Sean's 10-day private retreats. Future of mental health: Embrace spirit alongside science—everyone has a divine intelligence; healing is possible even if "crazy" ideas persist initially, leading to grounded, authentic lives. Final message: Healing takes courage and determination—you can progress without rejecting psychiatry entirely.

On this episode of Soul Sparks, we sit down with mystic author and spiritual illustrator Hans Wilhelm to decode the real curriculum of Earth. Why are we here. What is the purpose of our challenges. Are we actually close to our final incarnation. Hans breaks down karma as consequence, not punishment. He explains how suffering is feedback designed to wake us up and why gratitude, order, and personal responsibility shift our vibration. ABOUT THE GUEST  : Hans Wilhelm is a globally known mystic author and illustrator whose spiritual videos have reached millions. With over 60 years of study, he simplifies universal laws through visuals and storytelling. His work focuses on reincarnation, karma, the soul’s evolution, and the path back to our divine essence. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Earth functions as a soul school. Every incarnation carries a learning objective that we choose before arriving.• Karma is not punishment. It is consequence. A neutral feedback loop designed to bring us back to love, our original essence.• Suffering, illness, loss, and chaos are self-created experiences returning to us as opportunities for correction and growth.• We are never victims. Every difficult moment is a return of energy we once put out, here to help us evolve.• Gratitude is a shortcut to reconnect to higher consciousness. It breaks patterns of self-pity and negative thinking.• Order is the foundational spiritual law. Order in thoughts, speech, environment, relationships and consumption strengthens inner clarity.• Illness is the soul releasing karmic residue. It is not a divine punishment but a cleansing process.• We are never alone. Divine forces, guardian spirits and higher consciousness accompany us through every challenge.• Forgiveness is the fastest way to dissolve karma. Both forgiving others and forgiving ourselves.• As Earth rises in frequency, low-vibration souls may be unable to reincarnate here. Taking responsibility now matters.

In this Soul Sparks episode, we go straight into the deep end of the pool. Past life regression, non-local consciousness, the zero point field, and what all of that actually means for your mental health today. Certified clinical hypnotherapist and medical hypnosis specialist Craig Meriwether, founder of Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy, breaks down what really happens in a past life regression session and why it is less about “proving” reincarnation and more about real emotional healing and symptom relief. Craig and your host unpack how the subconscious mind stores trauma, why the brain may work more like an antenna than a hard drive, and how metaphors, memories, and the Akashic-style “record field” might all be different doors into the same healing space. This is an SEO-ready conversation around past life regression, hypnotherapy, trauma release, anxiety, and spiritual growth that will resonate with listeners on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn who are done with surface level wellness talk and want something grounded, curious, and transformative. About The Guest: Craig Meriwether is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, medical hypnosis specialist, and mindset coach, and the founder of Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy. He has completed over 500 hours of classroom hypnotherapy training plus 200+ hours of advanced education, making him one of the most highly trained hypnotherapists in the American Southwest. For more than a decade, Craig has helped clients worldwide via Zoom and in Arizona in person, working with early childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, pain, test anxiety, performance issues, and past life regression as a catalyst for deep emotional and spiritual healing. Key Takeaways: Past life regression is not about getting “stuck” in a spooky past timeline. It is guided access to memory through a relaxed, daydream-like state, similar to recalling your childhood home more deeply and deliberately. Craig treats past life work as a healing tool, not a belief system test. The real metric is simple. did the client’s anxiety, pain, or emotional burden actually shift after the session. The conversation explores non-local consciousness. the idea that “you” may not live inside your skull and that the brain could operate like an antenna tuning into a larger information field, sometimes described as the zero point field or Akashic-style records. Craig shares research-based examples, including Dr Brian Weiss and Dr Michael Newton, where emotionally verifiable past life memories and consistent “life between lives” reports point to something more than imagination at work. Even if some regressions function as powerful metaphors rather than literal past lives, the subconscious speaks in story and symbol. If the story resolves the pain, it is clinically useful. A practical on-ramp for skeptics. Craig uses simple warm-up visualizations, like walking into a movie theatre and back into your own kitchen, to prove that accessing vivid inner experience is already a built-in human skill. One client story highlights 20 years of chronic hip pain resolving after work in the “healing place” of the spirit world, underscoring how past life regression and integrative hypnotherapy can complement other mental health and somatic approaches. Core takeaway for listeners. you do not have to fully understand the mechanics of consciousness to benefit from a modality that helps you release fear, reframe your story, and move forward in this life with less burden and more agency.   How Listeners Can Connect With Craig Meriwether  : Website:Visit Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy to learn more about Craig’s work with anxiety, trauma, past life regression, and subconscious reprogramming, and to explore his free consultation offers.

On this Soul Sparks episode, we cut through fluff and get tactical. Certified sexologist and trauma-informed coach Mandy Hart breaks down how to build felt safety in your body, regulate your nervous system under stress, and use somatic cues to make cleaner decisions in relationships and work. We unpack real-life recovery from multiple surgeries, why shame blocks embodiment, and simple practices to rebuild self-trust without woo. If you care about somatic healing, boundaries, intimacy, and intuition. this one’s your playbook.   About the guest:   Mandy Hart is a certified sexologist and trauma-informed coach, and the founder of Heart’s Desire. She helps clients reconnect with their bodies, dissolve shame, and communicate desires with clarity. Based in Dallas, she integrates science with somatic wisdom to create practical, sustainable change.   Key takeaways:   Felt safety is trainable. monitor heart rate, breath, and muscle tone to notice activation, then down-regulate with slow breathing and grounding so you can engage rather than react. Your pelvis is a stability hub. recovery work taught Mandy how pelvic awareness anchors centeredness and improves intuition. Intuition isn’t mystical. it’s your body’s pattern-recognition. decisions feel “aligned” when sensations are settled rather than spiky or numb. Shame blocks embodiment. name it, then apply self-talk you would use for someone you love. compassion is the skill that makes safety possible. Relationship impact is real. as clients practice regulation and honesty about desires, communication and intimacy measurably improve. Authenticity beats performance. if you can’t accept yourself you can’t be known by others. start with micro-truths shared safely. Change is continuous. bodies evolve with age and stress. aim for capacity and skills, not perfection or “fixing.” Starter move today. when self-criticism spikes, pause and rewrite the script as if you were coaching a dear friend. repeat until it sticks.   Connect with the guest  : Website: https://harts-desire.com/ Instagram Email: mandy@harts-desire.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Alcohol shapes social life, productivity, and our inner dialogue more than we admit. In this Soul Sparks with Saima episode, Michelle Houston—founder of To Be Honest Beverage—breaks down the emotional and neurological links between alcohol and mental health. We explore why “just one or two” still changes choices and relationships, how to swap autopilot drinking for intentional rituals, and practical behavior-change tactics that actually stick. If you’re sober-curious, rethinking your habits, or building a purpose-driven brand, this straight-talking conversation offers clear steps to move from numbing to nuance—on your terms. About the Guest  : Michelle Houston is the founder of To Be Honest Beverage, a conscious-drinking brand focused on flavor, function, and experience without alcohol. Drawing on coaching and behavior-change work, she champions choice, presence, and values-led living. Key Takeaways: Alcohol is a depressant that alters mood, cognition, language, and inhibition—even at “social” levels—shaping choices and relationships the day-of and days after. Many drink to cope, numb, or avoid; mindful alternatives plus addressing root causes (therapy, reflection, community) reduce the anxiety spiral of brain fog and self-doubt. Rituals matter. Keep the social experience, upgrade the contents: craft, flavor, and functional beverages can deliver the “cocktail” experience without intoxication. Presence deepens connection. Not drinking often heightens awareness and strengthens relationships through clearer conversations and memory. Start with a candid baseline. Like GPS, you need a starting point before goals; audit current habits, then layer small, realistic steps. Sustain change by aligning with values (e.g., connection, vitality) rather than external expectations; misalignment drives relapse into old patterns. Momentum dips are normal. Revisit your “why,” simplify your next step, and cut the shame narrative; consistency grows from self-respect, not punishment. Purpose-driven brands can resist pressure by staying small, direct-to-consumer, and values-led; integrity compounds over a 10-year horizon more than early “virality.” Practical first move: define the next smallest actionable task (not five gym days—maybe a 10-minute walk), then repeat. Language check: notice catastrophizing and negative self-talk; bring fear and shame “to light” via writing, sharing, or therapy to reduce charge.
