Conscious Leadership, Psychedelic Breakthroughs & Emotional Mastery for Founders with Laura Watson
On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Laura Watson, founder of Venture Coaching International, about leading from the inside out. We unpack the gap between surface success and inner alignment, how guided psychedelic journeys can unlock core beliefs, and a practical framework for emotional mastery under pressure. Expect clear, actionable insights for executives, entrepreneurs, and team leads who want sustainable performance, better decision-making, and authentic leadership. About the Guest Laura Watson is a leadership and business coach with 30+ years guiding owners and executives. Her work bridges classic performance coaching with guided psychedelic journeys and integration, helping clients reconnect to authenticity, dissolve limiting beliefs, and lead with clarity. Key Takeaways: Conscious leadership goes deeper than skills. It reconnects leaders to authenticity instead of copying past examples. “Be quick, but don’t hurry.” Mastery comes from focused practice; speed follows after skills are integrated—avoid random busyness. Symptoms vs. core issues. Procrastination, conflict, or disorganization often mask deeper beliefs and narratives formed by upbringing, education, and systems. Psychedelics as door-openers. Properly guided journeys can widen one’s sense of possibility and agency; the real work is post-journey integration. Emotional mastery in three steps: notice the trigger, shift from resistance to acceptance, then choose deliberate action. Lower emotional temperature to regain logic. You can’t be fully emotional and fully logical at once; regulate before deciding. Freedom follows mastery. Less reactivity creates time freedom, fewer workplace escalations, and better outcomes. Lead conversations, not drama. One thoughtful dialogue can prevent wasteful escalations and save time, money, and relationships.

Unresolved Trauma at Work: Boundaries, Burnout, and Building Safer Teams — Dr. Rebecca Payne
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with licensed psychologist Dr. Rebecca Payne to examine how unresolved trauma shows up at work—from micromanagement and perfectionism to dissociation, people-pleasing, and chronic burnout. We break down red flags leaders should not ignore, why psychological safety drives performance and retention, and practical boundary resets employees can start today. This is a direct, no-fluff guide to trauma-informed culture, sustainable productivity, and healthier team dynamics About the guest : Dr. Rebecca Payne is a California-based licensed psychologist who translates clinical psychology into clear, useful conversations about anxiety, relationships, money, identity, and behavior patterns. She helps individuals and organizations recognize trauma echoes and build safer, more effective ways of working. Key takeaways : Trauma travels to work: micromanagement, shutdown during feedback, dissociation in meetings, and perfectionism can be trauma echoes impacting team performance. Two common trauma responses: hyperarousal (defensiveness, quick anger) vs. dissociation (zoning out, forgetting), each with distinct risks at work. Boundary pitfalls: chronic yes-saying and overwork are boundary issues that accelerate burnout and harm results. Leader red flags: excessive people-pleasing, distrust of authority, poor sleep/visible stress, tearfulness, or freeze responses signal deeper issues. Psychological safety pays: trauma-informed environments innovate more, perform better, and retain longer—it’s operationally smart, not just “nice.” Start small with “no”: assess your workload realistically and practice low-stakes no’s; protect workouts and personal time to rebuild capacity. Name your pattern: invite feedback—e.g., “If I start to control details, call it out”—to open safer, non-therapeutic workplace dialogue. Body as data: notice heart rate, sweating, or memory blanks after meetings; those signals can map what needs healing.

The Journey from Pain to Healing
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik engages in a transformative conversation with Alisha Kapani, who shares her journey from struggling with severe depression to discovering the power of surrender and mind-body medicine. Alisha emphasizes that healing is not solely about external actions but involves an internal shift in consciousness and emotional awareness. The discussion explores the importance of letting go of control, the role of beliefs in shaping reality, and the integration of science and spirituality in healing practices. Alisha offers practical advice for listeners feeling stuck in their healing journey, encouraging them to embrace awareness and compassion towards their emotions. Takeaways Healing is not just about what we do, but how we surrender. Many people try everything except looking within for healing. Surrendering can create an opening for healing resources to appear. The intention behind healing actions matters more than the actions themselves. Your body knows how to dissolve emotion and heal itself. Awareness is the medicine that allows the body to heal. Beliefs shape our reality and can block healing. Mind-body medicine focuses on welcoming emotions for true healing. There is a bridge between science and spirituality in healing. Healing is possible, and you do not have to manage pain forever.

Lifestyle Secrets to Longevity, Wellness & Fulfillment at 83 with Michael Dorfman
At 83, certified health & nutrition life coach and longevity advocate Michael Dorfman explains why aging well is less about luck and more about daily, repeatable choices—whole-food plant-based eating, stress reduction, movement, brain challenges, intermittent fasting, and hot/cold exposure. We unpack how habits compound over decades, why chronic disease often starts early, and how to design a meaningful life at any age. About the guest : Michael Dorfman is a certified health & nutrition life coach, investigative author, and longevity advocate. Vegetarian since 1976 and whole-food plant-based since 2008, he earned Plant-Based Nutrition certification from Cornell (2019). His work—including The Thriving Vegan and The Longevity Wellness Revolution—translates decades of study into actionable steps for vibrant aging. He lives in Mexico and publishes weekly articles on Substack. Key takeaways: Longevity isn’t fate; it’s shaped by daily lifestyle choices more than genetics. Whole-food, plant-based nutrition is Michael’s non-negotiable foundation for vitality. Ultra-processed foods (now a large share of global diets) drive metabolic and inflammatory burden—cut them first. Build resilience by challenging body and brain: strength work, new skills, non-dominant-hand practice, board games, pickleball. Intermittent fasting and hot/cold exposure can fortify energy, focus, and recovery when used sensibly. Stress management is longevity-critical—relationships, work fear, and news cycles compound wear and tear. Chronic disease often begins decades earlier; start small now (one meal/one habit at a time). Habits change through repetition and identity shift—see yourself as a healthy person and act accordingly. Genes may set a baseline, but environment and behavior influence expression; don’t surrender agency. For those with existing conditions, incremental improvements still matter—focus on controllable inputs and coordinated care.

Buddhist Wisdom Meets Mental Fitness: How to Stay Calm, Reduce Suffering, and Lead Without Attachment with Saw K. Myint
On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Saw K. Myint—a Burmese-Australian finance professional and property developer—to unpack a Buddhist, science-aligned approach to self-mental healthcare. We get practical on non-attachment, moment-to-moment awareness, and why most feelings are reflections of the past—useful signals, not life sentences. This direct, toolbox-style conversation covers stress, depression, addiction, grief, aging, and resilience with clear, repeatable practices you can apply today. Perfect for listeners seeking evidence-aware mindfulness, mental clarity, and steady leadership in messy real life. About the guest : Saw K. Myint is a Burmese-Australian mother of two, CPA-qualified finance broker, and property developer. Grounded in Buddhist teachings and everyday pragmatism, she helps people steady their minds with accessible, fact-of-life practices—no dogma, no fluff. Key takeaways: Feelings are real but lagging indicators. Because mind–body processes shift rapidly, most emotions reflect memory, imagination, or reflection rather than the live present. Non-attachment isn’t apathy. You still feel joy and pain; you simply don’t cling. Good and bad states don’t last, so act without over-identifying. Practical reset for stress/depression/addiction: Name the urge or state precisely. Ask what it aims to achieve and for how long the relief would last. Compare benefits vs. costs (health, freedom, relationships). Return attention to the next right action you can do now. Grief with responsibility. Care fully while loved ones are here; when they pass, release guilt and honor impermanence by continuing to live well. Leadership edge: Non-attachment reduces reactivity, widens options, and supports calm decision-making under pressure. For elders and caregivers: Recognizing “this too passes” reduces loneliness and softens expectations, creating peace in later years. For disability and neurodiversity contexts: Lead with respect and sameness—we all “play catch-up” with our perceptions. Daily micro-practice: During any spike (anger, craving, worry), pause–label–evaluate–act. Keep it short; repeat often.
