In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, host Sana sits down with Mridula Agarwal, creator of the Soul Rebirth Process and founder of the iReAwake Method, to explore why so many people still feel stuck despite therapy, meditation, and self-help tools. Mridula shares her deeply personal journey from building a wellness empire to facing collapse, depression, and the challenge of her son’s autism diagnosis — and how these experiences led her to uncover the deeper layers of healing often overlooked. We dive into energy blocks, subconscious scripts, ancestral wounds, and why lasting transformation requires clearing all levels of the mind, body, and spirit simultaneously. This conversation challenges the belief that “time heals all wounds” and reveals how you can truly break free from cycles of pain, overwhelm, and stagnation. If you’ve been “doing all the right things” yet still feel stuck, this episode is your map to uncovering the root cause and reclaiming your full potential. About the Guest:  Mridula Agarwal is a healer, energy worker, and creator of the Soul Rebirth Process and iReAwake Method. Drawing on over 24 years of experience in energy healing, she helps people release deep-seated emotional pain, karmic imprints, and subconscious conditioning to live in alignment with their true selves. Her work spans chakra clearing, ancestral healing, Akashic record insights, and guiding clients through profound life transformations. Key Takeaways: Most people carry energy blocks—unresolved emotional imprints, karmic memories, and ancestral patterns—that keep them stuck despite therapy or mindfulness practices. Healing requires addressing all layers simultaneously: subconscious mind, chakras, past life imprints, and ancestral wounds. Surface-level solutions can bring temporary relief but rarely remove the “root knife” causing ongoing pain. High achievers often feel blocks more intensely because pushing past limits triggers deeper life tests. Everyone’s energy script is different—your challenges match your soul blueprint and destiny. The iReAwake Method blends energy attunements, soul part retrieval, and subconscious reprogramming for lasting results. True transformation happens when you integrate all parts of yourself—logical, intuitive, strong, and empathetic—rather than living in fragments. As a healer, maintaining energetic boundaries is critical to avoid absorbing clients’ trauma. The universe often conspires with your unacknowledged desires, even if it looks like loss or breakdown at first. Recognizing and breaking toxic self-help myths (“just endure,” “it’s your karma”) is essential for reclaiming your agency in healing.  Connect with the Guest:  Free 30-minute Clarity Call: https://ireawake.com/30-min-free-appointment/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mridula_ireawake Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatch:DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With World – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!   Medium – https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/ Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind Linkedin Page – https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/ Twitter – https://twitter.com/podhealthclub Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Share your Google Review – https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Share a Video Testimonial – https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/   #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #HealthyMindByAvik #MentalHealthAwareness #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessMatters #VoicesOfUnity #InspirationDaily #podcast #podcasting #podcaster #podcastlife #podcastlove #podcastshow #podcastcommunity #newpodcast #podcastaddict #podcasthost #podepisode #podcastinglife #podrecommendation #wellnesspodcast #healthpodcast #mentalhealthpodcast #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #mindfulness #healthandwellness #wellnessjourney #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #healthandwellnesspodcast #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #viral #trending #tiktok #tiktokviral #explore #trendingvideo #youtube #motivation #inspiration #positivity #mindset #selflove #success

In this deeply impactful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore the truth about addiction and what real recovery looks like with Trent Carter—founder of Renew Health, nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and author of The Recovery Tool Belt. From his early days in trauma ICU to building one of New Mexico's most respected recovery clinics, Trent breaks down how recovery is not just about detox or willpower—it’s about mindset, tools, support, and self-leadership. We talk about what the healthcare system often misses, how families can better support loved ones in addiction, and what it truly takes to break free from relapses and fear. If you’ve ever struggled, supported someone through addiction, or want to understand the path to lasting change, this episode is a must-listen. ABOUT THE GUEST   Trent Carter is the founder of Renew Health, a leading addiction recovery center based in New Mexico. He is a nurse practitioner, podcast host, and author of The Recovery Tool Belt. From a small-town Texas upbringing to nationwide impact, Trent brings a powerful, practical, and compassionate approach to addiction recovery and holistic healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Mindset is foundational: Whether it’s recovery, entrepreneurship, or healing a relationship—your mindset sets the tone for everything. Trent emphasizes that lasting transformation begins with a clear, positive, and resilient mindset. Addiction recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all: You must meet people where they are. Individualized strategies—not cookie-cutter programs—lead to better outcomes. Barriers to healing are real but surmountable: Fear of detox, stigma, past failures, or lack of resources often keep people from seeking help. Renew Health tackles this with flexible, safe detox programs and real-world strategies. Action trumps intention: Thinking about recovery is a start, but real change happens through consistent action, especially on the hard days. Healing is not just clinical—it’s holistic: Hobbies, habits, routines, and purpose-driven living play a major role in maintaining sobriety and self-worth. There are tools for everyone: Whether you're a loved one, clinician, or someone in recovery, The Recovery Tool Belt is designed for practical, real-world use with strategies, resources, and frameworks to support sustainable change.     CONNECT WITH TRENT CARTER   Website: thetrentcarter.com Recovery Center: renewhealth.com Instagram & Facebook: @renewhealthnm | @thetrentcarter Book: The Recovery Tool Belt available on Amazon, Kindle, and major bookstores   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PM - Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST:   Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES   Business Podcast Management – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With World – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US   • YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylife• Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod• Threads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.pod• Medium – https://medium.com/@contentbyavik• Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster• Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW   Google Review – https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Video Testimonial – https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/   #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #addictionrecovery #mentalhealthpodcast #TheRecoveryToolBelt #TrentCarter #RenewHealth #recoveryispossible #mentalhealthmatters #transformationtools #mindsetshift #wellnesspodcast #selfleadership #podcastinglife

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we uncover what happens when your dream business turns into a mental and spiritual battlefield. Scott Gilbert, med spa entrepreneur and founder of the 5 Growth Engines system, shares how COVID-19 dismantled his thriving startup overnight and left him grappling with despair, debt, and identity loss. This isn’t just a story of financial failure—it’s a raw look into the mental health toll of entrepreneurship. Scott opens up about how survival mode led him to betray the very values he built his business on, and how hitting rock bottom became the foundation for a completely new system—one that’s sustainable, client-focused, and soul-aligned. If you’re a founder silently struggling or feel burned out from trying to “do it all,” this episode is your wake-up call. Tune in to learn how simplifying your business model, embracing discomfort, and reclaiming your integrity can rebuild both your revenue and your resilience.   About the Guest:Scott Gilbert is a med spa entrepreneur and creator of the 5 Growth Engines—a framework that helped him rebuild a seven-figure business after losing everything during COVID-19. His mission is to help service-based business owners grow without sacrificing their mental health or integrity.   Key Takeaways : Scott's business was devastated when COVID-19 hit just a day after his med spa launched, leaving him with over $400K in investment and no clients. The mental health collapse that followed showed him how financial desperation can hijack integrity and create cycles of self-betrayal. He explains how chasing short-term wins led him to become exactly what he set out to change—selling over serving. His transformation began with one walk, one podcast, and one thread of hope that led to a complete mindset shift. Scott’s 5 Growth Engines now help business owners move from burnout to sustainable success with a focus on client results and mental well-being. A core message: simplify your offering, serve deeply, and don’t outsource what you haven’t learned to manage. He breaks the myth that outsourcing without understanding can lead to freedom—instead, it creates disconnection and poor decision-making.   Connect with the Guest:Send Scott a message on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsscottgilbert_/Message him “Avik” to receive a free copy of his 5 Growth Engines blueprint.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM Me on PodMatch – Send your story pitch:DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST: Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES: Business Podcast Management – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World – https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US!YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podMedium – https://medium.com/@contentbyavikFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcasterPinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW Google Review – https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Submit a Video Testimonial – https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/ #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #MentalHealthAwareness #EntrepreneurMentalHealth #BurnoutRecovery #FinancialFreedom #MindsetShift #PodcastLife #BusinessLeadership #WellnessPodcast #HealingThroughFailure #GrowthMindset #ScottGilbert #MedSpaEntrepreneur #BusinessResilience #ResilientEntrepreneur #founderstory #covidimpact #sustainablebusiness

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty and transformational thought partner Markus Neukom explore how cultivating stillness can unlock authenticity, purpose, and sustainable success. Markus explains why imposter syndrome is not a flaw but a signal and how stripping away external conditioning can help us return to our original design. Listeners will gain practical insight into embracing stillness as a creative force, breaking free from the "hamster wheel" of modern life, and leading with deeper clarity. This episode is essential for anyone navigating burnout, questioning their success, or craving a more meaningful way to live and lead. About the Guest   Markus Neukom is a consultant, speaker, and steward of the Institute of CFLI. He guides high-level leaders, founders, and visionaries back to their original design by creating spaces where clarity, legacy, and influence align. Known for his ability to pierce through performance layers, Markus helps individuals reawaken their most authentic selves. Key Takeaways   Stillness is not the absence of action but coherence between thoughts and the heart. Imposter syndrome is a symptom of deeper authenticity struggles, not a permanent flaw. The practice of stillness can help reverse burnout and even depression by restoring balance. Asking, “Who was I before the world decided who I had to be?” can spark profound self-awareness. True leadership and success come from alignment, not relentless striving. Connect with the Guest   You can connect with Markus Neukom on LinkedIn: Search "Markus Neukom" (Markus with a K, last name NEUKOM) and send him a direct message.

In this profound episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by somatic therapist and trauma guide Julian Bermudez for a deep, grounded conversation on healing trauma, reclaiming authenticity, and understanding emotional survival patterns. Together, they unpack what trauma really means—not as a clinical label, but as a disconnection from the self—and how real healing begins by turning inward, not by reinventing. Julian shares insights on how suppressed emotions manifest in daily behaviors, how societal rewards reinforce trauma patterns, and why healing is not about becoming someone new—but returning to who you've always been beneath the pain. A must-listen for anyone seeking emotional clarity, post-traumatic growth, and embodied wholeness. About the GuestJulian Bermudez is a therapist and emotional healing guide specializing in somatic awareness, post-psychedelic integration, and trauma recovery. He offers deep support for those ready to stop performing, soften survival strategies, and return to a state of connection, presence, and authenticity. Key Takeaways Trauma isn’t just what happened—it’s what happens inside us when we don’t have the support to process it. Suppressing emotions and becoming overly agreeable are common survival patterns that often begin in childhood. Healing is not about fixing—it’s about remembering and returning to the self we abandoned to survive. Authenticity isn’t found, it’s uncovered by listening to the pain in our body and tending to the unmet needs underneath it. Real recovery begins with curiosity: “What is this feeling trying to teach me?” Disconnection is not a flaw—it’s an intelligent adaptation to trauma. But we can choose to reconnect. Facing what scares us within often reveals an inner child needing care, not punishment. Healing doesn’t require radical reinvention. It starts with compassion, presence, and slowing down. .

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, co-host Sana speaks with internationally renowned keynote speaker and author Fredrik Haren—also known as The Creativity Explorer. With insights gathered from delivering over 2,000 talks in 75+ countries, Fredrik discusses how creativity is more than just a tool—it's what makes us truly human. From redefining failure to embracing "idea naps," this conversation will reshape the way you view creative potential. If you're seeking inspiration to break free from routine, embrace your originality, and live more creatively—this episode is for you.   About the GuestFredrik Haren is a global keynote speaker, author of The Idea Book, and the upcoming The World of Creativity. Known as The Creativity Explorer, Fredrik has traveled to over 75 countries to study how creativity expresses itself across cultures. He lives on a private island in Sweden and helps people unlock their innate creative power through engaging talks and thought leadership.   Key Takeaways : Creativity is not just a skill—it’s what makes us human. Fredrik shares that being authentically you will naturally result in unconventional expression, making creativity a path to self-actualization. Cultures may value structure differently, but creativity exists everywhere. Fredrik breaks the myth that tradition inhibits innovation by highlighting examples like Swiss watchmakers redefining perfection. Resourcefulness is creativity in action. Fredrik self-funded a book by securing pre-orders before writing a single word—proof that ideas matter more than money. Failure isn't failure for creative minds—it’s feedback. Real-world stories, like a Catalan glass artist's breakthrough after frustration, show how emotional turning points can fuel innovation. Let go of “creative anxiety.” Inspired by a Thai origami artist’s practice of “idea naps,” Fredrik encourages embracing sabai sabai—taking creative blocks lightly and trusting the process.   Connect with the Guest Website: https://www.fredrikharen.com/ https://www.fredrikharen.com/book-speech/ - It has a full speech made by Fredrik - a funny, yet inspiring video on creativity.
