Awakening Within Systems: Reclaiming Identity with Aaron Scott
In this thought-provoking episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we speak with Aaron Scott —author, ex-Wall Street hedge fund founder, and host of The Evolved Podcast. Together, we unpack how the modern world subtly programs us through systems like education, government, medicine, and media—and how to awaken within them without abandoning ourselves. Aaron shares the core framework from his upcoming book The Architecture of Awakening, revealing how aligning with your true self—rather than resisting the system—is the key to reclaiming autonomy and inner peace. We explore practical strategies to integrate spiritual truth, reframe failure, and recognize our interconnectedness in a world of illusions. About the Guest:Aaron Scott is a modern-day deconstructivist with a background on Wall Street and a heart centered on truth. He went from founding a hedge fund to leading an alternative therapeutics company. Now, his mission is to help people awaken to their true nature amidst societal programming. His upcoming book The Architecture of Awakening and The Evolved Podcast are powerful resources for navigating identity, consciousness, and collective evolution. Key Takeaways: Most modern systems shape our identities unconsciously; awakening starts with awareness. Real power comes not from rebelling but from integrating spiritual truth into daily life. Reframing failure as growth is essential to breaking free from indoctrination. We are not separate from others or the planet—diversity and connection are universal truths. Living in alignment with your natural flow allows the world to unfold in support of you.

Rewrite Your Inner Story: The Mindset-Stress Connection with Stacey & Justin from Fortify Health Coaching
In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into how the words we use—and the stories we tell ourselves—can silently wreck our health. Host Avik sits down with Stacey and Justin, the powerhouse duo behind Fortify Health Coaching, to explore how language shapes physiology, why high-performing women often live in unrecognized survival mode, and how changing just one word can shift your nervous system from chaos to calm. From the concept of the “stress bucket” to a practical “Should Detox” word game, this conversation offers deep insight and real tools to help listeners reclaim mental, hormonal, and physical balance—without adding more to their to-do list. About the Guests:Stacey and Justin are the founders of Fortify Health Coaching, specializing in guiding high-performing women through stress regulation, hormone balance, and mindset transformation. With a blend of neuroscience, functional health, and language awareness, they offer tools that are actionable and sustainable—not fluffy. Key Takeaways: Mindset = the story you tell yourself, and words are its building blocks. Negations like “don’t” and “should” trigger the brain’s stress response. “Survival mode” can feel like normal—until the body crashes. Real transformation often starts by doing less, not more. The nervous system is the link between thought and physiology. The “Should Detox” exercise shifts internal pressure into empowering action.

Money, Burnout, and Meaning: Arunjay Katakam on Inclusive Economics and Inner Wealth
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Arunjay Katakam—former investment banker, author of Generation Hope, and founder of Inclusive Action Lab—to explore the overlooked connection between finances, burnout, and well-being. Arunjay shares how his journey from chasing millions to seeking deeper meaning transformed his health and perspective. He dives into the toxic illusion of the "self-made" myth, the societal pressure to overperform, and why inclusive economics is essential for collective healing. With honesty about his own burnout and insights on redefining productivity, this conversation offers both reflection and a roadmap for those feeling the pressure to do it all. About the Guest:Arunjay Katakam is a London-based speaker, author, and systems thinker with a background in investment banking and financial inclusion. Through his book Generation Hope and his work at Inclusive Action Lab, he advocates for more human-centric, equitable economic models. His work challenges the status quo and inspires meaningful change in how we view success, money, and community. Key Takeaways: Chasing wealth without reflection leads to burnout and disconnection. Inclusive economics means prioritizing people and community alongside profit. Burnout is not a weakness—it’s a signal to slow down and reassess. Meditation and inner work can support more conscious decisions in work and life. Financial pressure is often self-imposed; redefining success helps ease that burden.

The Dyslexia Blueprint with Russell Van Brocklen: From Obsession to Literacy Breakthrough
In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Russell Van Brocklen—educator, dyslexia advocate, and founder of DyslexiaClasses.com—about a radical new way to teach struggling readers. Forget rigid phonics drills. Russell introduces the "Speciality First Dyslexia Blueprint," a method rooted in a learner’s deepest passion, using tools like comic books or even baseball stats to transform reading outcomes. The conversation blends neuroscience, personal story, and practical strategy to show how dyslexic learners can thrive academically and emotionally by starting where they shine. About the Guest:Russell Van Brocklen, also known as The Dyslexia Professor, is an author, educator, and the founder of DyslexiaClasses.com. A dyslexic learner himself, he built a system that takes students from failure to fluency—without relying on outdated approaches. His evidence-based method is now used to train educators and empower students across the U.S. Key Takeaways: Traditional reading interventions miss the mark for many dyslexic learners. Russell’s “Speciality First” model starts with a learner’s obsession to build motivation and engagement. Brain scans show dyslexics use different neural pathways; tapping into strengths leads to faster literacy gains. Specific-to-general thinking works better than general-to-specific for dyslexic minds. Real progress starts with personalized content, structured sentence building, and high-frequency repetition. AI should be introduced only after foundational skills are in place.

Together, they explore what it truly means to reset your thinking in a high-stress world. Barbara shares real-life stories, including her own caregiving journey, and introduces a practical REGROUP framework for calming the nervous system, reclaiming energy, and leading from alignment. This conversation is a must-listen for leaders, caregivers, and anyone ready to shift from survival to sustainable strength—one breath at a time. About the Guest:Barbara Gustavson is a leadership coach and brain health educator who guides professionals through burnout recovery and mental reset using neuroscience-backed tools.

Key Takeaways: Burnout often starts with subtle signs—like sleep disruption, brain fog, and feeling the need to do it all. Barbara’s “REGROUP” method helps you regulate your nervous system, identify energy drains, and reconnect with your inner resilience. Small shifts like breathwork or reframing negative thoughts can lead to big changes in mental clarity and emotional stability. Resilience isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about aligning with your values, practicing margin, and honoring your energy. Neuroplasticity proves the brain can heal. Gentle, consistent tools work better than massive overhauls.

The Pill That Steals Lives: Katinka Blackford Newman on the Untold Risks of Antidepressants
In this gripping episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Katinka Blackford Newman—best-selling author, investigative journalist, and founder of Antidepressantrisks.org. Together, they unpack the pharmaceutical myth of the “chemical imbalance” behind depression and explore how one pill nearly cost Katinka everything. From personal psychosis to global data gaps, Katinka sheds light on the long-term effects, the overlooked risks, and the necessity for informed consent. This isn’t a call to abandon medication—it’s a call to question the status quo. About the Guest:Katinka Blackford Newman is an award-winning filmmaker, journalist, and author of The Pill That Steals Lives. After a harrowing experience with psychiatric medication, Katinka became an advocate for informed consent and safe mental health care. She founded Antidepressantrisks.org to educate others on the real, often hidden dangers of these medications and now coaches people using non-drug-based emotional resilience strategies. Key Takeaways: The “chemical imbalance” theory of depression has never been scientifically proven. Antidepressants can cause severe reactions in genetically sensitive individuals—including psychosis and suicidality. Withdrawal from long-term use can lead to debilitating effects and protracted neurological damage. Doctors are often unaware of the full risks due to limited training and biased drug trials. Katinka offers practical, non-pharmacological coaching tools that address emotions, beliefs, and behavioral change.
