Soul Blueprint Using Source Cards with Alexander & Viki

Soul Blueprint Using Source Cards with Alexander & Viki

In this Healthy Waves episode, host Sayan talks with Alexander and Viki about “Source Cards”. A practical spiritual framework that maps your birthdate into a birth card and a 13-card life path using the 52 playing card deck. The conversation focuses on why high-achievers can look successful but still feel off, how repeating patterns show up in relationships, money, career, and burnout, and how this method helps you stop comparing yourself to others and start making aligned choices. They also unpack a grounded reframe. Your hardest season might be a sign you are playing someone else’s script, or it might be a core life lesson already baked into your path. Either way, clarity comes from learning your cards, spotting the energy pattern, and choosing your next micro-move on purpose.

About the Guests:

Alexander and Viki are the creators behind Source Cards, a system that uses the 52-card deck to help people identify personal patterns, soul lessons, and life themes based on birthdate. Their work supports high-performing individuals who want more alignment, self-acceptance, and clarity. Alexander is also the author of Play Your Cards Right. A Sacred Guide to Life on Earth.

Key Takeaways
  • The 52-card deck is used as a symbolic “hidden in plain sight” framework to reflect your birth card and a 13-card life path.

  • Feeling “good on paper but off inside” can be a signal you are running unconscious patterns by default.

  • Repeating cycles in love, money, health, career, or burnout often point to an upgrade your life is asking for.

  • Knowing your “cards to play” can reduce comparison and self-judgment, and increase self-acceptance and empathy for others.

  • The first micro-move is simple. Look up your birth card and personality card, then check if it resonates before going deeper.

  • A hard season can mean you are struggling against your nature by following someone else’s success script.

  • A hard season can also be a core lesson in your life path, including challenge, Saturn, and Pluto themes tied to growth and shadow work.

  • Authentic alignment can cost relationships that depend on you staying in an old role, and that discomfort can be part of the path.

  • Weekly challenge. Pick one stuck area, write where the pattern repeated over 5 years, then ask what skill life is training in you.

  • Clarity first, then choice. The goal is not fate. It’s using insight to make better decisions.

Breaking the Silence: Kath Essing on Reclaiming Your Voice After Childhood Trauma

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we welcome Kath Essing, author of The Courage to Speak Your Truth. Kath shares her journey from silence to advocacy after surviving childhood sexual abuse. We discuss why reclaiming your voice is essential for healing, the complexities of sharing your story, and the critical gaps in current support systems and justice processes. Kath offers honest reflections on what helped her heal, the unexpected challenges she faced, and practical advice for both survivors and supporters. If you or someone you know is navigating the path from trauma to empowerment, this conversation is not to be missed. About Kath Essing:Kath Essing is a survivor, author, and advocate whose memoir The Courage to Speak Your Truth calls on women and allies to break free from the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse. Through her personal story and advocacy, Kath is working to reform outdated systems and empower others to reclaim their stories and their strength. Key Takeaways: The act of speaking out can be healing but also complex and risky without the right support. Supporters should focus on listening, believing, and holding space rather than offering quick solutions. Systemic changes are urgently needed in healthcare, education, and justice to better support survivors. Healing is a non-linear journey, often starting with private reflection before public advocacy. Writing can be a powerful first step toward processing trauma and reclaiming your voice.

Voice as Medicine: Self-Healing, Mental Clarity & Presence through Sound with Denise Mihalik

Voice as Medicine: Self-Healing, Mental Clarity & Presence through Sound with Denise Mihalik

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty explores how voice and sound unlock self-healing, mental clarity, and embodied presence with Denise Mihalik—opera singer turned sound-healing guide, founder of Sound Awakenings, and creator of Quantum Voice. From opera stages to ashrams, Denise shares how chanting, humming, and breath rewire our nervous system, rebuild confidence after grief, and reconnect us to an authentic voice that leads rather than pleases. You’ll learn practical, safe voice practices you can start today—no “good singer” required—and why your voiceprint is a direct line to purpose. About the guest  : Denise Mihalik is the founder of Sound Awakenings and creator of Quantum Voice. A former professional opera singer, she now teaches voice and sound practices for trauma release, presence, and inner peace. She offers 1:1 and group sessions online and a free “Sounds of Awakening” (Bija Mantras) training on her homepage. She is also the author of the novel Journey to Sunyata. Key takeaways: Your voice is a unique vibrational fingerprint—a mirror of mood, safety, and self-permission. Most people aren’t tone-deaf; voice skills are trainable when mental blocks are addressed. Breath + posture change how you sound and how safe you feel to be heard. Simple humming regulates the nervous system—think “walking singing bowl.” Chanting (including Sanskrit bija sounds) can soften grief, open the heart, and restore meaning. After loss, begin with permission to feel joy, then rebuild with breath and tiny steps. Speaking or singing isn’t about sounding pretty; it’s about sincere resonance and alignment. Practical start: 2 minutes of gentle breath + hum, hand on chest, daily consistency over intensity.

Rethinking Alcohol: Turning “I Need a Drink” Into Real Needs (Confidence, Connection, Calm) with Anna Donaghey

Rethinking Alcohol: Turning “I Need a Drink” Into Real Needs (Confidence, Connection, Calm) with Anna Donaghey

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Anna Donaghey—alcohol mindset coach, author, and host of The Big Drink Rethink—about why high-achievers quietly struggle with drinking and how to replace alcohol’s “jobs” (confidence, belonging, relief) with tools that actually nourish. We unpack Anna’s “What are you truly thirsty for?” framework, practical pause-and-choose strategies, and how boundaries, self-awareness, and nervous-system care build a life you don’t want to escape. If you’re sober-curious, rethinking happy-hour habits, or ready to change your relationship with alcohol without shame or moralizing, this direct, science-informed conversation is for you. About the guest  : Anna Donaghey spent 25 years as a strategy director in high-pressure advertising before confronting a growing dependence on alcohol. Now an alcohol mindset coach, podcast host of The Big Drink Rethink, and author of the forthcoming What Are You Thirsty For?, she helps people identify the unmet needs behind the drink and choose healthier ways to meet them. Key takeaways: Name the “job” you’re giving alcohol (confidence, connection, relief, sleep). Once named, you can meet that need directly. Micro-pause practice: before you drink, ask, “What am I really thirsty for right now?” Even if you still drink, the pause builds choice. High achievers are vulnerable: perfectionism, control, and overperformance can become an Achilles’ heel, pushing private, compensatory drinking. Alcohol isn’t the root problem; it becomes a placeholder for unmet emotional needs. Replace numbing with nourishing inputs. Build a life you don’t want to escape: core nutrients (body, mind, soul), better boundaries, and tools for regulation reduce urges. Treat sensations (tension, cravings, fatigue) as information, not failure. Respond with rest, connection, movement, or creativity. Success can mimic a drug (dopamine loops), just like work, scrolling, gaming. Swap quick hits for sustainable fulfillment. This is not about deprivation; it’s about empowerment—making alcohol small and irrelevant so you choose with intention. You don’t have to quit to begin; you do need to stop using alcohol as an emotional management tool. Start today: identify your top two “thirsts” (e.g., calm, belonging) and list non-alcohol ways to meet each in 10 minutes or less.

In this direct, practical conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores how the four cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—become a usable framework for real-world mental and spiritual well-being. Guest Matthew Jandernoa, founder of Steadfast Life, reframes virtue from “rules” into a map for becoming fully human. You’ll hear why freedom requires formation, how appetites shape choice, and a simple on-ramp: identify your “champion virtue” using Gretchen Rubin’s Four Tendencies to build momentum. Matthew shares a client story showing how the prudential sub-virtue of alertness can reduce panic attacks by widening focus and restoring creativity. If you want a clear, non-fluffy path to calm, confidence, and integrity, this episode lays out the steps.   About the guest   Matthew Jandernoa is a husband, father, and founder of Steadfast Life, a movement helping people make virtue human again—practiced daily by families, leaders, and believers seeking wisdom, discipline, and love.   Key takeaways: Virtue is human tech: The root of “virtue” (from vir, “human”) frames it as a map for being fully human, not a moral checklist. Four domains, four anchors: Prudence = thinking well Temperance = desiring well Fortitude = meeting fear well Justice = acting/interacting well Freedom needs formation: Unordered appetites distort reality; rightly ordered appetites increase true freedom and durable happiness. Start where you’re strong: Use Four Tendencies to find a “champion virtue”: Upholder → Temperance Questioner → Prudence Obliger → Justice Rebel → FortitudeGrowing one virtue lifts all. Anxiety tool: alertness (prudence): Replace tunnel vision with creative option-generation to neutralize intrusive thoughts and regulate the nervous system. Everyday practice: Choose honesty over comfort, courage over fear, balance over excess, and fairness over ego—small, repeatable acts compound.
