Overcoming Addiction and Trauma: Jessica Morris’ Journey to Spiritual Recovery

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik has a straight talking conversation with transformational leadership coach and extreme adventurer Martin Palethorpe. This is not another hype session about grinding harder. Martin breaks down why so many high achievers quietly burn out even while they look successful on LinkedIn. He explains how real peak performance starts with the mind. Not more strategy. From racing across deserts and trekking to the magnetic North Pole to recovering from a 300 foot skydive crash and rebuilding life after a long marriage, Martin shows how mental clarity, nervous system regulation and conscious leadership create sustainable performance. You will hear practical ways to step off the hamster wheel, cut through internal noise and use breath, presence and simple physical challenges as leadership training. If you are a founder, executive or driven professional searching for depth instead of just more output, this episode is built to land About The Guest: Martin Palethorpe is a transformational leadership coach, adventurer and conscious leadership guide. For more than 25 years he has coached senior executives and founders while testing human limits in extreme environments. He has raced across multiple deserts, trekked to the magnetic North Pole and survived a 300 foot skydive crash. Along the way he has left corporate life, moved through the end of a 20 year marriage and rebuilt his inner and outer world. Martin blends discipline with intuition, performance with presence and physical challenge with spiritual clarity. Through his Quality of Mind work he helps leaders access clarity on demand, regulate their nervous systems and lead from wisdom instead of fear and pressure. Key Takeaways  : Peak performance is less about pushing harder and more about removing the mental friction that blocks your existing capacity. The mind usually quits before the body. In extreme desert races, “escape gremlins” in the mind created stories to justify stopping while the body could continue. Obsessing over results and targets can damage performance. It fuels stress, burnout and illness rather than sustainable excellence. Most high achievers are driven by unexamined conditioning. Make more money. Move faster. Look successful. Without asking what any of that truly delivers. In a high pressure moment the simplest shift is to stop and breathe. Breathwork calms the nervous system so you can respond instead of react. You have to step off the hamster wheel. Retreats, quiet time and honest self inquiry are key to hearing deeper wisdom beneath autopilot thinking. Redefine failure. Playing full out means you will sometimes fall short. Protecting your image often costs you a fully lived life. Small physical challenges like cold water immersion expose how much suffering comes from the story in your mind rather than the situation itself. Real success is not about winning or status. It is about a healthy body, honest relationships, inner peace and meaningful impact.   How To Connect With Martin Palethorpe  : To explore Martin’s retreats, coaching and Quality of Mind work.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life host Sana sits down with Australian author and happiness researcher Adam Brownlie to strip forgiveness of the clichés and look at it as a real mental health skill. Instead of treating forgiveness like a moral slogan, Adam frames it as the act of releasing resentment so your nervous system is not running on stress all the time. Together they unpack why so much emotional suffering comes from replaying past events, how our judgments create hormones like cortisol and dopamine, and why decisions are less about free choice and more about causes in our brain and environment. The conversation moves from theory to practice, with simple ways to notice your own thought patterns, question old stories, and loosen the grip of self blame. If you are stuck between “I know I should let go” and “I honestly can’t yet,” this episode gives you language, perspective and tools without pretending the process is easy or instant.   About The Guest: Adam Brownlie is an Australian writer, speaker and creator of Happypedia, a holistic guide that blends science, psychology and modern philosophy to explore what truly makes life meaningful. His acclaimed sci fi novel The Last Gods uses future focused storytelling to ask hard questions about identity, morality and what it means to be human. Through his books, talks and community work, Adam focuses on happiness, mental health, relationships and the everyday habits that shape our inner world. His work is grounded, practical and centred on real human behaviour rather than quick fix positivity.   Key Takeaways:   Forgiveness is not about excusing harm. It is about releasing resentment so your nervous system is not locked in chronic stress from past events. True forgiveness is mainly for you. When you let go of resentment, the main benefit is your own mental health, sleep, focus and relationships. Adam outlines three paths to forgiveness. waiting for feelings to fade, changing your perspective on what happened, or seeing that the other person’s actions were unavoidable given their brain, history and state in that moment. Our judgments drive our biochemistry. When we judge something as bad, we produce stress hormones. When we reframe or understand the cause, the body stops hitting the panic button. Decisions are often unpredictable in the moment, which suggests they are less “free” than they feel. Seeing choices as the result of causes can soften harsh self blame and harsh judgment of others. You can want accountability and still move toward forgiveness. Naming your pain and asking “What made you act this way?” can open space for understanding without denying the harm. Emotional residue, like getting triggered by old memories, does not mean you are failing at forgiveness. It can simply show that your beliefs and judgments around the event still need updating. Practical practice. regularly notice how your own decisions appear, question the story “they could have just chosen differently,” and look for perspectives that reduce resentment without gaslighting your experience.   How Listeners Can Connect With Adam Brownlie   Visit Adam’s website and learn more about Happypedia and The Last Gods. https://adambrownlie.com.au/ Find his books, including The Last Gods and Happypedia, on Amazon author page listings.

In this powerful episode, Carter Dwell – a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, survivor of conversion practices, and founder of Leaf Psychiatry – joins host Avik Chakraborty to explore how shame-based religious teachings and non-affirming environments create full-body trauma, especially for LGBTQ+ individuals. Carter explains why chronic self-doubt, shutdown responses, and spiritual wounds are actually intelligent nervous-system survival strategies, and he shares practical, shame-free paths toward regulation, integration, and authentic healing. Key Takeaways: Religious and identity-based shame isn’t just emotional – it’s a nervous-system injury that can show up as chronic anxiety, dissociation, body disconnection, and a deep belief that “something is wrong with me.” Your symptoms are not moral failures; they’re evidence your body did its best to protect you in an unsafe environment. Healing starts with tiny pockets of safety: noticing bodily sensations, building supportive relationships, and taking one curious step at a time. A simple grounding practice: Pause → Notice what you’re feeling → Ask “Where do I feel this in my body?” → Allow the sensation without judgment. Medication, when needed, is not a weakness – it’s pain relief that can create space for deeper therapy, lifestyle changes, acupuncture (NADA protocol), and spiritual integration. The most protective thing allies (parents, pastors, therapists) can offer is curiosity, non-judgmental presence, and safety – not fixing or conversion efforts. Conversion practices and attempts to change sexual orientation or gender identity are proven ineffective and significantly increase lifelong mental-health risks, including suicidality. True healing integrates trauma work, nervous-system regulation, lifestyle practices, and (when desired) faith – all in a human-first, shame-free way.

In this powerful episode, host Avik welcomes certified grief educator and former respiratory therapist Lisa Rites. Lisa shares her personal journey through divorce, co-parenting, and recent losses while breaking down society’s biggest myths about grief. She explains why grief has no timeline, how to support someone who’s grieving (and what NOT to say), and how it’s possible to carry grief in one hand and joy in the other. A deeply compassionate conversation that reminds us grief is love with nowhere to go—and that healing means integrating it, not “getting over” it. Key Takeaways Grief is not just about death; it can come from divorce, job loss, moving, or any significant life change. There is no “wrong” way or set timeline to grieve—some people grieve intensely for a lifetime, and that’s okay. The stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) are not linear—you can climb the “ladder” and slide back; falling back is normal. Society is under-educated: 3 days of bereavement leave is nowhere near enough, and phrases like “get over it” or “they’re in a better place” cause more harm. The best support is presence and listening—ask “How are you feeling today?” and simply hold space instead of trying to fix. You can reach acceptance and still miss the person forever; acceptance means learning to live with the loss, not erasing it. Practical holiday tips for grievers: keep traditions alive, cook their favorite dish, light a candle, talk about them openly—let the holidays look different without guilt. Grief taught Lisa resilience, self-rediscovery, and the power of co-parenting with grace—even attending her ex-husband’s wedding years later. Healing expands your story; it doesn’t erase the love you carry.

In this powerful episode (guest-hosted by Sana), dream interpreter and spiritual mentor Caleb Matthews reveals how anyone can intentionally train their subconscious mind for lasting success. Blending cutting-edge science (Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water experiments), ancient wisdom (“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”), and practical spirituality, Caleb explains why your words and thoughts literally shape your reality — and how to shift from self-sabotage to divine alignment in everyday life. Key Takeaways: Your subconscious is always listening 24/7 — it doesn’t resist what you declare, whether positive or negative. Science proves it: Dr. Masaru Emoto’s water crystal experiments show that spoken words physically change matter — the same happens inside your mind and body. “As you think in your heart, so are you” — your internal focus magnifies and manifests (grasshopper mindset vs. victorious mindset). We are trichotomous beings (spirit, soul, body). Ignoring the spirit and only hustling with soul + body leads to burnout and self-sabotage. The SSB Method (Spirit → Soul → Body) creates true harmony and sustainable success for leaders, seekers, and everyday people alike. You don’t need elite status — even with a mustard-seed level of faith and declaration, you can speak to mountains (obstacles) and watch them move. There is no neutral ground: you are programming your subconscious with light or darkness every single day. Practical declaration examples: finances, exams, relationships, health — speak blessing and reap the harvest (the universal law of sowing and reaping). Your voice is one of the greatest gifts God gave you — use it to train your subconscious for the prosperous future you were designed for.

In this powerful episode, licensed clinical social worker and certified sex addiction therapist Mordy Gottlieb pulls no punches as he exposes how shame, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection are silently eroding men’s lives. From hiding true selves behind masks to living a “living death” at 10% capacity, Mordy shares why most men only seek help after crisis hits (and usually because their partner forced them). He reveals practical ways to drop the armor, feel emotions in the body instead of the head, and finally start living instead of just surviving. Key Takeaways: Shame’s core belief: “If you really knew me, you wouldn’t accept me” → this creates deep loneliness even inside marriages and families. Perfectionism isn’t strength; it’s a shield that guarantees burnout and disconnection. Most men don’t come to therapy because they want change; they come in their 40s-60s after relationships, work, or addictions collapse. Vulnerability is required for real intimacy; without it, your partner can only love the mask, not you. Experiential therapy works because it gets men out of their heads and into their bodies (focus on physical sensations, not “feeling words”). Hidden disconnection shows up as 6-8 hours of mindless scrolling, numbing, and avoiding what’s really going on inside. First micro-step to reconnect: find anything safe (nature, a tree, a pet, a book) and let yourself feel supported. Biggest myth to retire: “Life shouldn’t be hard.” Accept that struggle is normal; chasing perfection keeps you miserable forever. Men have become “nice guys” who never say no or express needs → this breeds resentment and destroys accountability in relationships. Ultimate fear holding men back: abandonment. Speaking your truth risks rejection, but silence guarantees disconnection. Permission to play: healing isn’t just serious work; it’s also about becoming childlike, having fun, and not taking life so damn seriously.

In this powerful episode, Melissa Deally (co-creator of Amplify Impact Academy) joins host Avik Chakraborty to reveal how Timeline Therapy allows deep emotional healing without ever talking through traumatic stories. Melissa explains the unconscious mind, the 4 bodies & 3 minds model, why talk therapy can accidentally re-traumatize, and how to dissolve lifelong anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and limiting beliefs in just one or two sessions. A game-changing conversation for anyone tired of feeling stuck in old emotional loops. Key Takeaways: The unconscious mind (90% of your mind) stores every memory and emotion but does NOT require you to retell the story to release it — Timeline Therapy works directly with the unconscious to clear entire “gestalts” of emotion at the root. Re-talking trauma fires the nervous system again and again because the unconscious mind cannot distinguish between imagination from reality — this is why traditional talk therapy often keeps people stuck. All negative emotions are stored in “pearl-necklace” gestalts — release the root event (the first pearl) and the entire string collapses, freeing you from decades of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, rage, and shame. We have 4 bodies (Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical) and 3 minds (Superconscious/Higher Self, Conscious, Unconscious). True healing and longevity require alignment across all four bodies, not just the physical. Acute anxiety is a signal you’re imagining the wrong future going wrong — use Timeline Therapy to float above your timeline, experience the event going perfectly, and the anxiety vanishes instantly. Move from Victim Island to Solution City by asking: “How is this happening FOR me?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?” — this single question shifts responsibility and opens the door to growth. You do NOT need to control or suppress emotions — you need the right tool to let them process and release naturally. One 2-hour Timeline Therapy session can create more peace and mental quiet than years of traditional therapy.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Laura Nicholls — writer, strategist, former therapist, and survivor-turned-thought leader — to explore how regulating your nervous system isn’t a “nice-to-have” for entrepreneurs… it’s the foundation for creative risk-taking, decisive leadership, and turning lived experience into impactful messaging and books. Laura shares simple, profound tools to move from hustle-and-burnout to flow, presence, and purpose-driven growth. Key Takeaways   Sophisticated avoidance disguised as self-care: Going through mindfulness motions without presence keeps you stuck — real mental health practices create flow, energy, and love for your work. 90-second nervous system resets for high-stakes moments (like launches): Try box breathing (4-4-4-4), soothing music, nature sounds, or naming 5 things you see to bring your thinking brain back online. Share the meaning, not the mess: When telling your story publicly, focus on the transformation and service to others — avoid trauma-dumping or using your audience as free therapy. Big leaps don’t require white-knuckle energy: Creativity and decisive leadership only happen when the nervous system is regulated; dysregulation keeps you problem-focused instead of solution-receptive. From scattered notes to a clear book/message: Start with a trusted sounding board (coach/therapist/friend) or pen-and-paper journaling — the slower physical act of writing unlocks clarity faster than typing. Horses as profound teachers of presence and boundaries: Their naturally trauma-organized brains mirror dysregulation instantly, revealing leadership dynamics and emotional blocks in minutes that talk therapy might take years to uncover. “Clear is kind” in action: Protect your time fiercely — remind yourself “It all gets done, one way or another” and say no (or not now) without guilt to preserve energy and connection. Final gem from Laura: After regulating and listening to your body, the next step is receiving — our culture teaches giving, but openness to receiving is where magic accelerates.
