From Amish Roots to True Freedom: Redefining Strength, Balance, and Leadership with Glenn Beechy

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.

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.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Sana explores the transformative intersection of communication, self-awareness, and relational intelligence with Amara Samata — a globally recognized transformational guide and founder of the Inner Guidance Institute. With insights drawn from ancient Tibetan Dzogchen wisdom and modern psychological frameworks, Amara shares how tools like the Inner Mirror Method and Golden Request model help individuals build trust, resolve conflicts, and navigate power dynamics consciously in both personal and professional settings. She addresses common myths about transparency, emotional expression, and the real meaning of empathy. A must-listen for anyone seeking healthier connections and deeper communication. About the Guest:Amara Samata is a transformational guide, communication strategist, and creator of methodologies including the Inner Guidance Method, Inner Mirror, and the Golden Request. With experience across 35 countries and over 2,000 clients, she blends ancient Eastern philosophies with modern psychology to help leaders, couples, and individuals enhance relational intelligence and authentic self-expression. She has worked closely with psychologists, therapists, and spiritual teachers to evolve powerful tools that improve communication, trust, and self-awareness. Key Takeaways: Inner work precedes outer connection: Trust in others starts with self-trust and self-awareness. Communication isn’t about talking more — it’s about listening to yourself and others simultaneously. Dzogchen-inspired techniques like “feeding your demons” help heal inner resistance and past trauma. Healthy power dynamics rely on mutual respect, not manipulation or dominance. Transparency without discernment can be harmful — honesty must meet emotional intelligence. Misconceptions around ideal communication styles often hinder relational growth.
