How Do We Keep Creating With Conviction Even When Life Gets Chaotic? with Joseph M. Lenard

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Sarah Erdner, PhD, CMPC, to spotlight a topic often overlooked in the world of sports—coach mental health. Dr. Erdner, author of Dear Coach: What I Wish I Could Have Told You, unpacks the emotional burden coaches silently carry and how athlete well-being is often a reflection of coach well-being. Through intimate stories, powerful insights, and tangible steps, this episode challenges the sports world to reframe leadership, rethink "culture," and offer care to those expected to always lead.   About the Guest:Dr. Sarah Erdner is a Clinical Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and author of Dear Coach. Her groundbreaking work began with research interviews and evolved into a nationwide dialogue about emotional labor, empathy, and systemic change in sports. She advocates for psychological safety, multicultural awareness, and intrapersonal reflection among coaches.   Key Takeaways: Coaches are often viewed solely as a means to winning, which fuels burnout and poor mental health. Emotional neglect of coaches trickles down to athlete well-being and performance. Writing "Dear Coach" letters—both as a reflection and feedback tool—can start essential cultural conversations. Authentic leadership begins with acknowledging one’s cultural identity and emotional limits. To create truly high-performing teams, organizations must prioritize coach support systems at par with athlete mental health.   Connect with Dr. Sarah Erdner:Visit: www.dearcoachbook.comExplore her book, request mentorship, or download the free eBook version.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Tune to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!• YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylife• Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod• Threads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.pod• Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness

Together, they explore how emotional challenges, financial hardships, and relationship struggles can serve as powerful portals for transformation—if we learn to view them as blessings in disguise. Dr. DDnard offers a three-step method to shift frequency and manifest abundance: smile, say thank you, and lead with love.   About the Guest:Dr. DDnard is a renowned spiritual teacher and entrepreneur best known for founding the Zoul Mental Health & Sleep App. Her work bridges Eastern wisdom and modern neuroscience, guiding high performers and everyday seekers through emotional resilience, energy alignment, and soul-centered living.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore a radical shift in wealth thinking with Randolph Love III—founder of Shieldwolf Strongholds and host of the Entrepreneur Nudist podcast. Randolph breaks down the concept of the “Infinite Conceptual Bank,” challenging conventional financial systems and introducing listeners to tools for building personal wealth vehicles that are liquid, safe, and tax-favored. Through real-world examples, he connects financial literacy with mental wellness and outlines a new path for abundance rooted in mindset, vision, and strategy. About the Guest:Randolph Love III is a Chartered Financial Consultant, Certified IUL Master, and President of Shieldwolf Strongholds, a leading wealth protection firm. His podcast, Entrepreneur Nudist, ranks in the top 10% globally. He specializes in wealth-building strategies using life insurance vehicles structured for living benefits, helping business owners and families create lasting financial legacies. Key Takeaways: The “Infinite Conceptual Bank” is about turning your mindset into capital—an internal economy that compounds over time. Wealth is subjective: success depends on your lifestyle and how long it can be sustained without work. Safety, liquidity, and tax advantage are more important than high returns alone. Mindset is everything—scarcity thinking can collapse wealth even before market shifts do. Life insurance, when structured correctly, can offer living benefits that protect and grow wealth over generations.
