Reclaiming Our Inner Compass: Radical Responsibility for Health and Boundaries with Dr. Marissa Heisel & Zoey Kyriacou

Reclaiming Our Inner Compass: Radical Responsibility for Health and Boundaries with Dr. Marissa Heisel & Zoey Kyriacou

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik explores the power of reclaiming our inner compass and taking radical responsibility for emotional, mental, and physical health. Guests Dr. Marissa Heisel, a holistic healing expert, and Zoey Kyriacou, a licensed therapist and anxiety specialist, share grounded insights on self-healing, boundary setting, and redefining self-care. Together, they reveal how tuning into our body’s wisdom, questioning external authority, and practicing practical mental health tools can create clarity, peace, and empowerment. This conversation bridges science and soul, helping you step into alignment and reconnect with your true self.

About the Guests

Dr. Marissa Heisel is a holistic healing pioneer with 25+ years of experience blending chiropractic care, midwifery, and energy medicine. She helps women reclaim authority over their health and live in alignment with their inner compass.

Zoey Kyriacou is a licensed professional counselor, certified anxiety specialist, and founder of Mastermind Counseling. She supports high-functioning adults navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and boundaries with a mix of heart and practical tools.

Key Takeaways

  • Radical responsibility begins with reclaiming inner authority instead of outsourcing all decisions to external systems.

  • Modern health culture often conditions people into compliance; healing starts with curiosity, embodiment, and listening to the body.

  • High-functioning adults frequently hide anxiety behind success; learning to challenge internal stories and self-talk is essential.

  • Boundaries are difficult for people-pleasers but vital for sustainable mental health; practicing small “no’s” helps overcome guilt.

  • Self-care isn’t always bubble baths—it can be the unglamorous choices like eating better, resting, or walking outside.

  • True well-being comes from alignment with purpose, presence, and practices that reconnect us to nature and stillness.
