Breaking the Silence: How Shame and Emotional Disconnection Are Quietly Destroying Men’s Mental Health with Mordy Gottlieb
In this powerful episode, licensed clinical social worker and certified sex addiction therapist Mordy Gottlieb pulls no punches as he exposes how shame, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection are silently eroding men’s lives. From hiding true selves behind masks to living a “living death” at 10% capacity, Mordy shares why most men only seek help after crisis hits (and usually because their partner forced them). He reveals practical ways to drop the armor, feel emotions in the body instead of the head, and finally start living instead of just surviving. Key Takeaways: Shame’s core belief: “If you really knew me, you wouldn’t accept me” → this creates deep loneliness even inside marriages and families. Perfectionism isn’t strength; it’s a shield that guarantees burnout and disconnection. Most men don’t come to therapy because they want change; they come in their 40s-60s after relationships, work, or addictions collapse. Vulnerability is required for real intimacy; without it, your partner can only love the mask, not you. Experiential therapy works because it gets men out of their heads and into their bodies (focus on physical sensations, not “feeling words”). Hidden disconnection shows up as 6-8 hours of mindless scrolling, numbing, and avoiding what’s really going on inside. First micro-step to reconnect: find anything safe (nature, a tree, a pet, a book) and let yourself feel supported. Biggest myth to retire: “Life shouldn’t be hard.” Accept that struggle is normal; chasing perfection keeps you miserable forever. Men have become “nice guys” who never say no or express needs → this breeds resentment and destroys accountability in relationships. Ultimate fear holding men back: abandonment. Speaking your truth risks rejection, but silence guarantees disconnection. Permission to play: healing isn’t just serious work; it’s also about becoming childlike, having fun, and not taking life so damn seriously.

Healing Trauma Without Reliving It: Timeline Therapy, Unconscious Mind & Longevity with Melissa Deally
In this powerful episode, Melissa Deally (co-creator of Amplify Impact Academy) joins host Avik Chakraborty to reveal how Timeline Therapy allows deep emotional healing without ever talking through traumatic stories. Melissa explains the unconscious mind, the 4 bodies & 3 minds model, why talk therapy can accidentally re-traumatize, and how to dissolve lifelong anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and limiting beliefs in just one or two sessions. A game-changing conversation for anyone tired of feeling stuck in old emotional loops. Key Takeaways: The unconscious mind (90% of your mind) stores every memory and emotion but does NOT require you to retell the story to release it — Timeline Therapy works directly with the unconscious to clear entire “gestalts” of emotion at the root. Re-talking trauma fires the nervous system again and again because the unconscious mind cannot distinguish between imagination from reality — this is why traditional talk therapy often keeps people stuck. All negative emotions are stored in “pearl-necklace” gestalts — release the root event (the first pearl) and the entire string collapses, freeing you from decades of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, rage, and shame. We have 4 bodies (Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical) and 3 minds (Superconscious/Higher Self, Conscious, Unconscious). True healing and longevity require alignment across all four bodies, not just the physical. Acute anxiety is a signal you’re imagining the wrong future going wrong — use Timeline Therapy to float above your timeline, experience the event going perfectly, and the anxiety vanishes instantly. Move from Victim Island to Solution City by asking: “How is this happening FOR me?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?” — this single question shifts responsibility and opens the door to growth. You do NOT need to control or suppress emotions — you need the right tool to let them process and release naturally. One 2-hour Timeline Therapy session can create more peace and mental quiet than years of traditional therapy.

Healing Through Clarity: Mental Health Practices That Fuel Entrepreneurship and Personal Growth with Laura Nicholls
In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Laura Nicholls — writer, strategist, former therapist, and survivor-turned-thought leader — to explore how regulating your nervous system isn’t a “nice-to-have” for entrepreneurs… it’s the foundation for creative risk-taking, decisive leadership, and turning lived experience into impactful messaging and books. Laura shares simple, profound tools to move from hustle-and-burnout to flow, presence, and purpose-driven growth. Key Takeaways Sophisticated avoidance disguised as self-care: Going through mindfulness motions without presence keeps you stuck — real mental health practices create flow, energy, and love for your work. 90-second nervous system resets for high-stakes moments (like launches): Try box breathing (4-4-4-4), soothing music, nature sounds, or naming 5 things you see to bring your thinking brain back online. Share the meaning, not the mess: When telling your story publicly, focus on the transformation and service to others — avoid trauma-dumping or using your audience as free therapy. Big leaps don’t require white-knuckle energy: Creativity and decisive leadership only happen when the nervous system is regulated; dysregulation keeps you problem-focused instead of solution-receptive. From scattered notes to a clear book/message: Start with a trusted sounding board (coach/therapist/friend) or pen-and-paper journaling — the slower physical act of writing unlocks clarity faster than typing. Horses as profound teachers of presence and boundaries: Their naturally trauma-organized brains mirror dysregulation instantly, revealing leadership dynamics and emotional blocks in minutes that talk therapy might take years to uncover. “Clear is kind” in action: Protect your time fiercely — remind yourself “It all gets done, one way or another” and say no (or not now) without guilt to preserve energy and connection. Final gem from Laura: After regulating and listening to your body, the next step is receiving — our culture teaches giving, but openness to receiving is where magic accelerates.

Unlocking True Healing: The 4 Bodies, 3 Minds & Timeline Therapy with Melissa Deally
In this transformative episode, integrative health practitioner and co-founder of Amplify Impact Academy, Melissa Deally, joins host Avik Chakraborty to reveal why most people are only using 10–25% of who they really are. Melissa breaks down the 4 interconnected bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical), the 3 minds (conscious, unconscious, and higher self/superconscious), and how Timeline Therapy rapidly clears decades of stored negative emotions and limiting beliefs — without years of talk therapy. Discover practical tools like the “Clear the Screen” method to dissolve anxiety instantly and step fully into your life’s mission. Key Takeaways: We have 4 bodies: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical. Physical symptoms are usually the last to appear after imbalances in the other three. True, lasting healing requires addressing all four bodies — not just the physical. We have 3 minds: – Conscious mind (10% – logic & willpower) – Unconscious mind (90% – emotions, memories, imagination) – Higher Self / Superconscious (blueprint for perfect health & life mission) Children live fully in the unconscious mind until age 7–9, downloading beliefs like sponges — this is where most limiting programming begins. Timeline Therapy clears the 7 major negative emotions (anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, rage, shame) at their root cause in one session by working with the unconscious mind. Emotions are stored in “gestalts” (like pearls on a necklace) — release the first pearl (root event) and the entire chain falls away. All humans share at least one of four core limiting decisions: I’m unworthy, unlovable, powerless, or not good enough. Talk therapy can unintentionally deepen trauma because the unconscious mind re-experiences the event every time it’s retold. The “Clear the Screen” method eliminates acute anxiety by shifting focus from the imagined “horror show” to the desired “love story” outcome — in minutes. You cannot “think” your way to solutions or perfect health; the conscious mind doesn’t directly connect to the Higher Self — answers come through the unconscious (shower thoughts, driving insights, middle-of-the-night clarity). Anxiety’s purpose is to alert you that you’re focusing on what you DON’T want — change the focus, and the anxiety dissolves.

From Burnout to Alignment: Rebuilding a Human-First Business with Dylan Bost
In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Dylan Bost, founder of SunnyHQ and a former creative agency owner who hit rock bottom after years of burnout and addiction. Dylan openly shares how an existential crisis (“What is this all for?”) led to the collapse of his multimillion-dollar agency, years of deep healing, and the birth of a radically aligned, human-first WordPress hosting company. This is a raw conversation about turning breakdown into breakthrough and building a business that honors life instead of sacrificing it. Key Takeaways: Burnout rarely announces itself — it’s the slow erosion of joy, identity, and meaning while everything looks “successful” on the outside. The most dangerous question an entrepreneur can ignore: “What is this all for?” If left unanswered, it leads to emptiness even at the peak of achievement. Rock bottom can become the foundation: Dylan’s collapse forced years of stillness, embodiment work, plant medicine journeys, and nervous-system repair — the true rebuilding started there. You are not your story, you are the storyteller. Letting go of past achievements and identities is scary but essential for real transformation. Simple daily embodiment starts with 5-minute meditation — not to empty the mind, but to become aware of thoughts and let them pass. Awareness is the most powerful “drug”: once you see a destructive habit (endless scrolling, overworking, numbing), it becomes nearly impossible to keep doing it unconsciously. Alignment in business means designing the company around your desired life, not the other way around. SunnyHQ was built on clarity, simplicity, and genuine human support — no bots, no ticket queues, no chaos. True customer service is human connection: fast fixes + warm empathy = customers who feel genuinely cared for (and team members who love their work). Ask for help early. Vulnerability is strength, not weakness. You are not the first entrepreneur to struggle — and you don’t have to solve it alone. Rebuilding yourself is the ultimate business strategy.

The Hidden Emotional Journey of Caring for Aging Parents with Janice Goldmintz
In this heartfelt episode of Healthy Waves, gerontologist and caregiver expert Janice Goldmintz joins host Avik to unpack the unspoken emotional weight of caring for aging parents—especially when dementia or serious illness flips the parent-child dynamic. Drawing from her master’s in gerontology and her own decade-long journey caring for both parents with Alzheimer’s, Janice offers raw, practical wisdom: how to hold grief and love at the same time, why asking for help isn’t weakness, how to make big care decisions without tearing the family apart, and simple self-care habits that actually work when you’re running on empty. This conversation is for every adult child who feels guilty, overwhelmed, or terrified they’re “parenting their parents” wrong. Key Takeaways The hardest shift isn’t the logistics—it’s emotionally moving from “child” to “care advocate” while still feeling like a kid inside. Acknowledge the emotions (guilt, resentment, grief) instead of suppressing them—pretending you’re “fine” only makes burnout worse. No one does this perfectly—even trained gerontologists make mistakes. Progress, not perfection, is the goal. Top 3 family mistakes: (1) Assuming everyone will contribute equally, (2) Waiting until crisis to plan, (3) Refusing to adapt when the original plan stops working. Mindset shift that changes everything: Stop expecting fairness; assign tasks by strength, not equality—someone’s great at finances, someone else at emotional support. Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s self-centered (centering yourself so you can keep showing up). Put your oxygen mask on first. Sustainable caregiver habits: 10-minute walks (even in a mall), scheduled dog walks, quick breathing breaks, reading for knowledge/power, respite stays at retirement homes. With dementia: “Go where they are.” If Dad thinks he’s on the farm, ask about the animals—enter their reality to create moments of joy and deeper connection. Final truth: This journey is messy, exhausting, heartbreaking… and one of the most rewarding acts of love you’ll ever give.

Is Burnout the Wake-Up Call Every Founder Ignores Until It Is Too Late? With Barry Luijbregts
Entrepreneurship looks slick on LinkedIn. Real life is messy. In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode we go into the trenches With Barry Luijbregts. The CTO who built a global SaaS from scratch while wrestling with burnout, emotional overload, and the hidden pressure of being a solo creator.This conversation cuts through the noise. We talk about sleep deterioration as the first red flag, why ignoring your body is the fastest road to collapse, the toxicity of people-pleasing in tech, and the hard shift from doing everything to finally letting go.Listeners get practical clarity on recovery, decision fatigue, healthy boundaries, and building something meaningful without losing yourself in the process. ABOUT THE GUEST Barry Luijbregts is the creator and CTO of Podhome.fm, one of the most modern podcast hosting platforms engineered for speed, automation, and creator-first innovation. He built the platform from the ground up and now supports creators worldwide. His journey includes surviving a full burnout, rebuilding his life through lifestyle changes, and redefining what sustainable entrepreneurship looks like. KEY TAKEAWAYS : • Burnout rarely arrives suddenly. It starts with subtle signals like poor sleep, emotional heaviness, and motivation disappearing• Ignoring your body is the fastest path to collapse. Founders often prioritize activity over awareness• Recovery requires changing your environment, your habits, and your willingness to say no• Food, sleep, and toxic load influence burnout as much as workload• Over-helping customers at all hours destroys mental capacity. Systems and support are essential• Your audience defines growth. Serving “everyone” slows traction• Technical leadership is easier when you enjoy the puzzle. Managing people is a different skill entirely• Parenting and mission keep life grounded. Entrepreneurship should serve your life, not consume it• Focus is the most underrated founder skill. Choose your lane or lose your energy• Worry less about the world you cannot change and more about the actions in your control CONNECT WITH THE GUEST : LinkedInPlatform: https://podhome.fm/Podcast Player App: Available on iOS and Android YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Podhomefm WANT TO BE A GUEST ON HEALTHY MIND, HEALTHY LIFE DM on PM via PodMatchDM here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik DISCLAIMER This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
