From Consuming to Applying: A Framework for Transforming Knowledge into Action with MV Braverman

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Larry Kesslin, author of The Joy Molecule, to unpack why joy is not something you chase, it’s something you align with. Larry shares how a 2012 trip to rural Uganda reshaped his beliefs about success, purpose, and what truly creates a meaningful life. This conversation is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels disconnected inside. You’ll learn Larry’s practical framework for inner peace, how misalignment shows up as stress and constant seeking, and why joy is an inward journey that leads to deeper connection. About the Guest: Larry Kesslin is the author of The Joy Molecule and Success Redefined. He coaches individuals and supports companies in building ecosystems and communities rooted in connection. Key Takeaways: Define happiness vs. joy clearly: needs met vs. inner peace Use “what, who, why” to check alignment before chasing goals Watch for stress and “everything is happening to me” as misalignment signals Detach from identity labels to reduce suffering and regain clarity Follow “breadcrumbs” by doing the next best logical step, right now How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.5-dots.com/  Email: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik sits down with Jamie Green to unpack a simple truth most people miss: your mind is not just “thoughts,” it is the control center behind your actions, body signals, and everyday behavior. This conversation is for anyone stuck in survival mode, caught in emotional habits, or quietly thinking “I know what to do, I just can’t do it.” Jamie shares practical tools to calm the nervous system, soften the inner critic, and create change that actually feels safe and sustainable. About the Guest: Jamie Green is a trauma release specialist, NLP life coach, and Reiki master. She helps people release emotional blocks, shift limiting beliefs, and build calm, confident self-trust using a blend of neuroscience and healing practices. Key Takeaways: If you feel “lazy,” check for nervous system protection patterns, not personal failure Use journaling: write the belief (“I’m not enough”), ask “why,” then collect real evidence that challenges it Emotional eating is often a safety-seeking response, not a lack of discipline NLP can shift beliefs by changing the way the subconscious stores the “movie” of a memory or identity Try anchoring: recall a strong positive memory, intensify it, then press thumb + forefinger for 2 seconds Do Avik’s 7-day check-in: what do I feel, what thought is attached, what would I choose if I felt safe?

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Patrick Kamba to unpack a hard truth: success can look great on paper and still feel exhausting. Together, they explore the shift from loud, performative ambition to “quiet ambition” rooted in calm confidence, integrity, and real influence. This conversation is for high performers, people-pleasers, burnt-out leaders, and anyone who’s hit big goals yet still felt strangely empty. You’ll learn how to navigate office politics without losing yourself, spot insecurity disguised as ambition, and build a version of success that protects your mind and your life. About the Guest: Patrick Kamba is a pharmaceutical industry executive who has led global teams and mentored emerging leaders. He shares insights from his journey toward “quiet ambition” and mentions his book, Quiet Ambition. Key Takeaways: Quiet ambition is calm, respectful confidence, not playing small or staying invisible. Office politics exist everywhere; navigate them by building alliances while staying authentic. Healthy ambition starts with self-awareness: define goals you can measure and know when you’ve arrived. Loud, performative ambition often pushes people away and blocks honest feedback. Celebrate wins intentionally so you don’t fall into the endless “next goal” treadmill. Fulfillment is usually a byproduct of living well, not a box you can tick. How to Connect With the Guest: LinkedIn: Patrick Kamba Book: Quiet Ambition (English) and Le Secret de l’Ambition (French) — available on Amazon in print; French also in e-book and audio.

In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Derrick Van Mell to unpack a truth most people feel but rarely name: leadership can shape your nervous system as much as your workload. Derrick explains how unclear direction, neglect, and careless comments can quietly erode confidence and safety at work. This episode is for anyone dealing with a difficult manager, recovering from workplace stress, or stepping into leadership themselves. You’ll learn how ethical, competent leadership reduces harm, why shared management language matters, and what employees can do to protect themselves without escalating conflict. About the Guest: Derrick Van Mell is the founder and principal of the Center for Management Terms and Practices, a standards body for general management. He’s also the author of Atoms and Orchestras and shares frameworks like The Index, the Milwaukee Model, and the Pledge of Managerial Power. Key Takeaways: Bad bosses often cause “invisible injury” through neglect, unclear direction, and public disrespect. Not all harm is intentional, many managers were never taught ethical use of authority. Strong leadership means putting people first, not ego, control, or winning arguments. If a boss is fundamentally decent, use calm courage: ask clarifying questions about tone and intent. “Parental mind” works upward too: recognize what your manager does well to shift behavior safely. Management is not for everyone, rewards are delayed and abstract, so self-awareness matters.
