Building Your Dream Lifestyle: Insights from Paul Gowder, Founder of PowWows.com

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Texas luxury real estate leader Kirstine Openshaw about what actually moves deals in an oversaturated market. Kirstine strips away the hype—pretty brochures and ad spend don’t close; trust, community touchpoints, and pain-point clarity do. She unpacks how living through her sons’ congenital heart defect (CHD) journeys reshaped her mindset, why detachment from outcomes accelerates growth, and how to read buyer/seller psychology without manipulation. This is a grounded playbook for agents and founders who want referral-driven businesses, sharper messaging, and resilience when markets turn.   About the Guest  : Kirstine Openshaw is consistently ranked among the top performers in Texas real estate and is an ICON Agent with eXp Realty. A UK-to-Texas transplant, she built a largely referral-based business from zero local sphere. She’s also a committed CHD advocate and a self-described “heart-warrior mom.”   Key Takeaways: Relationships beat tactics: Tech, AI, and glossy marketing matter after you earn trust through real community contact. Lead with proximity: Host neighborhood events—garage sales, ice-cream trucks, open houses—to create face-to-face touchpoints that warm any future ads. Pain points drive action: Most buyers/sellers move from discomfort, not dreams; craft offers and messages that solve the present problem first. Mindset is operational, not fluffy: Detach from rigid outcomes; it frees options and surfaces better-fit opportunities. Read the room: Share personal stories after rapport; oversharing too early can trigger doubts about your availability. Market cycles require different skills: In frenzy (low rates), coach clients past zero-sum thinking; in slowdowns, uncover true motivations and affordability limits. Build from belief: Clarify why clients should choose you, then map their top concerns and your specific solutions before buying ads. Process for message-market fit: Whiteboard ICP pain points → your interventions → delivery channel (events, video, door-knocking, social). Focus on flexibility: Goals can and should evolve as your vantage point changes. Play the long game: Earn repeat and referral business to reduce ad spend and stabilize revenue.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.openshawrealtygroup.com/kirstine-openshaw--28dac Social: Find Kirstine Openshaw on major platforms by name (links also on her website).   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this deeply real and reflective episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jessica Di Re—a Montreal-based real estate broker and clarity coach who rebuilt her life and business after burnout and a life-changing injury. From breaking her knee in a moment of rush to discovering the power of stillness, Jessica shares her raw journey of slowing down, redefining purpose, and designing a life (and home) rooted in intention. She unpacks how emotional clarity and mindful routines shaped her recovery and how she now helps others reconnect to themselves—especially women navigating identity shifts. This is a must-listen for anyone craving clarity in a chaotic world. About the Guest:Jessica Di Re is a real estate professional, lifestyle strategist, and speaker from Montreal. Known for blending soulful living with smart decision-making, she helps clients see their homes not just as properties but as emotional sanctuaries. After navigating burnout, surgery, and personal reinvention, Jessica now guides others—especially women—toward mindful living, intentional routines, and grounded leadership. Key Takeaways: Clarity is a practice, not a destination—begin with intention, not perfection. Stillness can be the most powerful teacher during burnout or identity crisis. Designing a mindful morning routine can shift your entire day and energy. Your physical space mirrors your inner state—declutter externally to clear internally. Journaling and connecting with your childlike self can help you rediscover your voice. Emotional wellness begins with auditing what you consume—mentally and digitally.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the profound theme of self-reclamation and inner happiness with bestselling author, podcast host, and transformational coach Irina Shehovsov. From overcoming trauma and emotional wounds to cultivating joy from within, Irina offers grounded insights and practical habits for anyone feeling stuck, unworthy, or lost. This conversation is not about chasing external validation—it's about coming home to yourself. About the Guest:Irina Shehovsov is the founder of Reclaim Your Life, a speaker, and the host of two podcasts: Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life. She’s also the #1 international bestselling author of The Gift Inside. Irina helps women over 40 release toxic patterns, rediscover their identity, and rebuild a life of joy, worth, and peace. Through mindset, holistic healing, and spiritual tools like timeline therapy and NLP, she empowers others to believe healing is possible at any stage. Key Takeaways: Self-reclamation starts with personal responsibility. You may not be at fault for past trauma, but healing begins when you own your present. Happiness is cultivated, not found. Daily practices like meditation, gratitude, forgiveness, and mindful presence create the foundation for joy. Healing isn’t passive. Time helps only when combined with intentional action and the right environment. You are worthy now. Many emotional wounds stem from a sense of unworthiness—Irina’s work helps rewrite that belief. Forgiveness is for you, not them. It frees you to live in the present, no longer chained to past pain. Surroundings matter. Healing is amplified by positive people, conscious media, and nourishing routines.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Sana speaks with Lyubim Kogan—five-time Olympian, 9/11 survivor, founder of Wings4Heroes, and a man who has quite literally walked back into fire. From Wall Street to war zones, Lubim opens up about the mental cost of mission-driven work, surviving burnout, and why he still chooses to keep going when most would turn away. He shares how protecting his "silent hour" helps him align with his inner compass, and why real resilience is about resting without guilt. This conversation is a masterclass in legacy, sacrifice, and staying mentally grounded under pressure. About the Guest:Lyubim Kogan is a first-generation immigrant, Olympic athlete, former Wall Street executive, and the founder of Wings4Heroes, a nonprofit that empowers amputee veterans through paragliding. After surviving 9/11, Lyubim chose to return to conflict zones in Ukraine to serve those who sacrificed for freedom. His life embodies mental discipline, compassion, and purpose-driven service across continents. Key Takeaways: Burnout is real—even for high performers—and recovery requires intention, not guilt. True resilience means knowing when to stop, rest, and reconnect with yourself. Constant action can be a form of avoidance. Silence reveals true direction. Real impact starts when you follow your inner compass, not just societal definitions of success. Legacy is not about accumulation, but contribution.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Emily McSherry, CEO and founder of Advize, to discuss the intersection of entrepreneurship, mental health, and career mindset. Emily’s journey—from growing up in a small Texas town with no clear role models to launching an AI-powered career platform—is raw, insightful, and deeply relevant in today’s fast-changing world of work. They explore the myths around grades, ambition, and the pressure to scale, while shedding light on how mindset—not just strategy—is the foundation for lasting success. This is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck or navigating their next professional pivot. About the Guest:Emily McSherry is the founder of Advize, an AI-driven platform democratizing career discovery for students. A college student with an MBA from UCLA, Emily is on a mission to challenge outdated career myths and make meaningful work accessible. Through her work, she’s helping universities reimagine career readiness and ensuring students see themselves represented in real, relatable stories. Key Takeaways: Success on paper doesn’t always translate to inner fulfillment—mindset is crucial. Good grades don’t guarantee great jobs; experience and alignment matter more. Career advice is often outdated—especially for women and first-gen students. Informational interviews are underused but powerful tools for career clarity. Tech innovation like AI must stay human-centered to truly empower students.
