Her debut poetry collection, The Grey Between, officially released on 16th July 2025, is a raw and evocative mirror for anyone navigating trauma, grief, or identity. Tune in for a deeply personal conversation about finding your voice, even in silence, and embracing creativity as a form of survival. About the Guest:Nadine Ellis is a poet, medical academic, and university lecturer whose work blends personal narrative with therapeutic insight. Diagnosed with autism in adulthood, Nadine uses writing to process life’s challenges and has published her first poetry book, The Grey Between on 16th July 2025. Her work invites readers to look inward, feel deeply, and heal through authentic expression. Key Takeaways: Nadine's writing journey began in childhood and became a tool for sanity during trauma and chaos. Her recent autism diagnosis helped her understand why self-expression through writing was vital to her well-being. The Grey Between, released on 16th July 2025, is more than poetry—it’s emotional testimony, self-healing, and artistic resistance. Nadine encourages everyone to discover their own creative outlet—whether through writing, gardening, cooking, or stillness. She challenges the belief that creativity is a privilege, advocating instead that even the smallest acts of self-expression are deeply healing and accessible to all. Her featured poem on PTSD, “Not Looking for the Seeing,” brings listeners into the visceral world of memory, trauma, and recovery. Above all, Nadine’s message is clear: start where you are, be kind to yourself, and don’t wait for permission to express what’s within.   Connect with the Guest: Website: www.nadineellis.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nadineellispoetry/  Book Release:The Grey Between by Nadine Ellis was officially released on 16th July 2025.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we sit down with Dr. Simmi Chopra—an Ayurvedic doctor, molecular biologist, and founder of Sidhayur NYC—to explore how 5,000-year-old Ayurvedic principles can powerfully support today’s fast-paced lifestyles. Whether you're a student burning the midnight oil, a startup founder running on caffeine, or someone dealing with chronic burnout, this episode unpacks how ancient healing meets modern demands. Dr. Simmi shares real-world tools, including Ayurvedic hacks for digestion, stress regulation, and sleep optimization. Learn how to make Ayurveda work in your busy routine—without overhauling your life. About the Guest:Dr. Simmi Chopra is an Ayurvedic Doctor, Molecular Biologist, and founder of Sidhayur in New York City. She integrates ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern biology to help clients manage chronic stress, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, and burnout. She’s passionate about translating deep-rooted Indian healing into practical habits for busy professionals across the globe. Key Takeaways : Ayurveda isn't about massive lifestyle overhauls—small shifts like cutting inflammatory foods or improving digestion can spark major health changes. Common triggers for imbalance: late nights, processed foods, excessive caffeine, and ignoring your body's early warning signs like heartburn or fatigue. For stressed professionals or students, Dr. Simmi recommends three simple but powerful Ayurvedic practices: sipping digestive teas, short breathing practices (pranayama), and avoiding your unique food triggers based on dosha imbalances. Ayurvedic therapies like Shirodhara can calm the nervous system even for those short on time. Digestion is central—what you can digest matters more than what you eat. Ayurveda teaches that transformation happens in small, consistent steps—like shifting bedtime by 15 minutes per lunar cycle to restore circadian balance. Sleep between 10 PM to 2 AM is vital for emotional and physiological reset. For those overwhelmed and feeling stuck in unhealthy routines, Ayurveda offers a way to gently realign, not force change.   Connect with Dr. Simmi Chopra:Website: www.sidhayur.comEmail and appointment details available on the website.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes Dr. Nona Djavid—a renowned mindset expert and entrepreneur—who shares her unconventional yet deeply transformative approach to success: the one-week-a-month lifestyle. This conversation breaks down how high achievers can rewire their subconscious mind, regulate their nervous system, and create sustainable energy without subscribing to the burnout culture. From escaping cultural norms in Iran to building multiple 7-figure businesses in the U.S., Dr. Nona’s story is proof that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of health or joy. If you’ve ever felt trapped in hustle culture or are looking to align purpose with profit, this episode is your blueprint. About the Guest:Dr. Nona Djavid is a mindset strategist, serial entrepreneur, and creator of the One-Week-a-Month Lifestyle. With a background in neurology and a track record of building multiple 7-figure businesses, she now helps high-level leaders create quantum shifts by aligning nervous system health, mindset mastery, and energetic presence. Key Takeaways : Dr. Nona explains how her move from Iran to the U.S. shaped her beliefs around success and struggle, and how she broke free from the hustle mentality. Her concept of the One-Week-a-Month Lifestyle started with the intention to reduce work hours while increasing impact, profitability, and personal freedom. Success, she says, doesn’t need to be earned through suffering. In fact, subconscious beliefs often block people from receiving abundance and rest. Rewiring the nervous system to feel safe in expansion is key to accessing new levels of joy, wealth, and freedom. Visualization, embodiment, and deep identity work helped her scale her businesses while working part-time. She redefines success as the desire to help others and acknowledging how far you’ve come, rather than chasing endless future goals.   Connect with Dr. Nona Djavid:Message her directly on Instagram or any social platform using her name: Nona DjavidMention Healthy Mind, Healthy Life and receive her exclusive 90-minute training on the 4 Steps to Quantum Leap—for free.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty welcomes prolific author and spiritual guide Branch Isole to explore the foundations of healing, responsibility, and truth in relationships. From the damaging effects of silence and betrayal to the step-by-step process of reconciliation, Branch lays out a practical, soul-rooted framework for mending what’s been broken—without needing therapy. We dive deep into the 7 steps of repair, the 12 life lessons we all face, and the shift from insecurity to spiritual maturity.

His mission is to guide others from confusion to clarity by helping them build moral and ethical integrity through life’s hardest lessons. KEY TAKEAWAYS : Trust is the backbone of sustainable relationships, whether personal, professional, or community-based. Once broken, it’s difficult—but not impossible—to rebuild.

Is your business doing everything “right” but still not growing? You might be missing the most overlooked factor—frequency. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by Angela Thomas, Europe’s leading scaling strategist and founder of Angel Success Consulting, to uncover the energetic layer of entrepreneurship. Angela breaks down the 7 hidden reasons behind stagnation that strategy alone can’t fix—especially the invisible force of personal frequency. From her own journey of leaving a thriving business in Germany to scaling in Dubai, Angela shares how desperation energy, subconscious beliefs, and frequency misalignment can silently sabotage even the most well-planned ventures. Tune in for a soul-aligned, business-smart conversation on how frequency impacts cash flow, leadership, and client attraction. About the Guest:Angela Thomas is the founder of Angel Success Consulting based in Dubai. Starting in the beauty industry, she rose to become Europe’s #1 scaling expert. She’s the visionary behind programs like SkillonAir, Skillonize, and Dubai Docs Fast Track. Angela now helps entrepreneurs and founders grow legacy businesses by aligning strategy with energy. Key Takeaways: Frequency drives results: No amount of automation, funnels, or scaling will work if you operate from fear, desperation, or scarcity. Angela’s real story: Despite having every system in place in Dubai, she faced setbacks because her energetic frequency repelled success. Once she shifted internally, her business scaled to 2 million in under 6 months. The 7 reasons for stagnation include: Misconception about scaling (it’s not just selling more) Non-scalable business model Uncommitted or misaligned employees Attracting wrong-fit clients (often due to discounts) Inefficient systems and AI underuse Poor marketing mindset—visibility matters Misaligned offer design The missing link is your frequency—it’s what subconsciously communicates whether your brand is trustworthy, aligned, and attractive. Practical action: Angela shares a free booklet on these 7 stagnation reasons plus a frequency audit tool.   Connect with Angela: LinkedIn: Angela Thomas Website: https://www.angelsuccess.consulting/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angelsuccess_consulting/ Book a free strategy call: Reach out via DM on her platforms Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST: Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES: Business Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!

In this deeply moving episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with NG Avant, a former municipal government professional turned indie author, to explore how fiction became her sword of truth. After experiencing a very public political storm and systemic harassment within Canada's political ecosystem, NG used storytelling as a form of healing, advocacy, and rebellion. Her Capital City series draws from personal and societal injustices to create emotionally rich narratives that reflect the realities many women endure but rarely speak aloud. From discussing the toxic culture in politics to the power of modeling strength for her daughters, NG’s journey is a powerful reminder that healing can begin on the page. Tune in for a riveting conversation on trauma, transformation, and the unapologetic voice of a woman reclaiming her truth—one fictional character at a time. About the Guest:NG Avant is a Canadian indie author, intuitive, and former municipal government insider. She is the creator of the Capital City series—fiction that pulls no punches, rooted in real-life political trauma and laced with hope, courage, and truth. A single mom of three daughters, NG’s mission is to uplift women’s voices through fiction that heals, empowers, and challenges. Key Takeaways (SEO Optimized): NG Avant turned her political trauma into purpose by writing fiction based on lived experiences, systemic sexism, and public injustice. Her Capital City series was born as a cathartic outlet while reporting misconduct, eventually transforming into a compelling narrative that blends truth and imagination. Through her character Calista Caldwell, NG creates a parallel reality where justice is served and healing is possible—something her real-life experience did not offer. Writing fiction gave NG the creative freedom to rewrite the ending and offer readers validation, visibility, and hope, especially for women silenced by systems of power. Her books are not for escapism but to mirror society and empower readers with emotional resonance and realism. NG’s advocacy continues beyond books. She fights for legislative changes in Canada and models resilience, strength, and authenticity for her daughters. Her upcoming fantasy series—set to release this Halloween—will feature witchy feminist themes with intuitive, spiritual layers. NG encourages everyone to tell their story, whether through art, journaling, or fiction.
