13 Years Lost: From Orphaned Child to Global Peacekeeper with Christine Sadry

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores the practice of “healing through hugs” with author and coach Melinda Lee, whose memoir Rebel Hugger documents a year of offering consensual hugs to strangers—and the deeper truth she uncovered: the connection she gave others was the connection she hadn’t given herself. We discuss intention vs. habit, consent and boundaries, people-pleasing and depletion, and a simple self-hug practice to regulate the nervous system. Clear, grounded, and practical—this conversation reframes touch as an act of presence, not performance. About the Guest:   Melinda Lee is the author of Rebel Hugger, a coach, and a certified Healing Touch for Animals practitioner. Her work centers on connection, consent, and embodied compassion.   Key Takeaways: Consent first: Melinda always asked, “Can I give you a hug?”—a model for safe, respectful connection. Intention matters more than the act: a present, welcomed hug can be regulating; a habitual hug can be empty. People-pleasing depletes: giving from an “empty cup” invites burnout and dis-ease; self-nourishment is non-negotiable. Boundaries are loving: a hug can invite closeness and still honor where you end and the other begins. Rejection isn’t rupture: when someone says “no,” stay in relationship—eye contact, respect, and warmth still connect. The mirror effect: outward generosity can expose inner neglect; notice what you’re seeking from others and practice giving it to yourself. Micro-practice: hand on heart, a few slow breaths, feel energy “flow” around the body—20–30 seconds to reset. Safety lens: enter interactions believing most people are kind while staying grounded, aware, and boundaried.

In this powerful roundtable episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty dives deep into the interconnected layers of healing with three guests who are reshaping the wellness space in unique ways. Tara Wiskow shares her journey from emotional abandonment to reinvention and radical self-trust. Mechelle Wingle explains the transformative practice of “parts work” and how true healing begins with compassionate awareness of all aspects of self. Dr. Roger Wu brings a clinical lens, revealing the silent epidemic of screen-induced eye damage and the emerging science behind eye health in a digital age. This episode explores emotional resilience, the neuroscience of digital burnout, and how reclaiming our inner voice can lead to deep healing. About the Guests:Tara Wiskow is an intuitive healer and life reinvention expert who helps women stop self-abandoning and return to their authentic power.Mechelle Wingle is the founder of The Wholeness Network, blending therapeutic models with ancient wisdom to support inner transformation through parts work.Dr. Roger Wu is a leading optometrist and founder of The Eye Drink, a nutrition-based innovation designed to protect against digital eye strain and promote retinal health. Key Takeaways: Self-abandonment in women is often rooted in trauma and shows up as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-giving. “Parts work” or Internal Family Systems helps individuals integrate conflicting internal narratives through compassion, not correction. Excessive screen time is causing early-onset eye issues including dry eye, cataracts, and retinal damage, with mental health implications. True healing begins when we pause, listen to our emotions, and trust the guidance of our inner self. Nutrient support like lutein, zeaxanthin, and Omega-3s can actively protect vision in today’s device-heavy lifestyle.

In this deeply honest episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty brings together three men—Chris Marhefka, Andrew Wilson, and Steve Wilson—whose lives have been transformed by trauma, resilience, and the pursuit of emotional truth. Together, they explore what real mental strength looks like when it’s not about pushing through pain but learning to pause, feel, and heal. From trauma-informed coaching to peer-led support groups, they shed light on the challenges of vulnerability, the power of truth-telling, and the complexities of forgiveness. About the Guests:Chris Marhefka is a transformational coach and co-founder of 13 Pines. Once a high-performing entrepreneur, a near-death health crisis redirected his life toward deep healing, embodiment, and guiding others.Andrew Wilson is a trauma-informed fear coach, author, and podcast host who helps others reclaim power from fear and pain by tapping into subconscious healing and radical self-care.Steve Wilson is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and misdiagnosed bipolar disorder. Today, he facilitates mental health support groups in Phoenix, offering grounded peer-based healing for those battling deep trauma. Key Takeaways: Mental strength isn’t just about endurance—it’s about knowing when to rest, listen, and feel. Trauma shows up as behavior until we recognize the pain behind it. Vulnerability in men’s groups can unlock healing for entire rooms. Forgiveness is personal—not everyone is ready for it, and that’s okay. Peer support is often the missing link for those lost in systemic gaps. Healing starts when we stop performing and start reconnecting with what feels true.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into how the words we use—and the stories we tell ourselves—can silently wreck our health. Host Avik sits down with Stacey and Justin, the powerhouse duo behind Fortify Health Coaching, to explore how language shapes physiology, why high-performing women often live in unrecognized survival mode, and how changing just one word can shift your nervous system from chaos to calm. From the concept of the “stress bucket” to a practical “Should Detox” word game, this conversation offers deep insight and real tools to help listeners reclaim mental, hormonal, and physical balance—without adding more to their to-do list. About the Guests:Stacey and Justin are the founders of Fortify Health Coaching, specializing in guiding high-performing women through stress regulation, hormone balance, and mindset transformation. With a blend of neuroscience, functional health, and language awareness, they offer tools that are actionable and sustainable—not fluffy. Key Takeaways: Mindset = the story you tell yourself, and words are its building blocks. Negations like “don’t” and “should” trigger the brain’s stress response. “Survival mode” can feel like normal—until the body crashes. Real transformation often starts by doing less, not more. The nervous system is the link between thought and physiology. The “Should Detox” exercise shifts internal pressure into empowering action.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive deep into the power of breath with Dr. Roberta Garceau—a dentist, yoga and Ayurveda practitioner, and sleep medicine expert. Drawing from her book Bliss, Not Burnout, Dr. Garceau explains how conscious breathing is more than just a wellness trend—it’s a transformative tool for emotional regulation, energy alignment, and mental clarity. She shares real-life examples, practical breath work techniques, and insights on how even in the chaos of healthcare or hustle culture, a single mindful breath can create radical calm. Whether you’re a high-performer or just feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your reminder to pause, breathe, and begin healing from within. About the Guest:Dr. Roberta Garceau blends her clinical background in dentistry and sleep medicine with Eastern healing practices to offer an integrative approach to wellness. She’s the author of Bliss, Not Burnout, a practical guide for healthcare professionals and anyone seeking balance in a fast-paced world. Through her platform Elemental Wellness, Dr. Garceau teaches how air, breath, and awareness can restore harmony in both body and mind. Key Takeaways: Conscious breathing can regulate both emotional and physical health in real time. Exhalation-first techniques help calm anxiety and reduce tension. Breath is a bridge between burnout and balance, especially in caregiving or high-stress environments. Small daily moments—driving, walking, even bathroom breaks—are perfect for integrating mindful breath. Aligning breath with the elements (air, earth, fire) helps tailor energy regulation to your body’s needs.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Amanda J. Scott, author of Finding My Way Back to Me. Amanda shares her courageous journey of breaking free from a 17-year abusive marriage and how self-care became the foundation for reclaiming her voice, rebuilding her self-worth, and guiding other survivors to live fully again. This conversation dives deep into the hidden realities of emotional and financial abuse, the critical role of self-care in healing, and practical steps anyone can take to move from survival to freedom. This is not just about recovery—it’s about rediscovering the power to live with dignity, peace, and self-love. About the Guest:   Amanda J. Scott is an author, speaker, and survivor advocate dedicated to helping others break free from the cycles of abuse. In her book, Finding My Way Back to Me, she reveals the layers of domestic, emotional, and financial abuse she endured—and how she reclaimed her life through courage, resilience, and self-care. Today, she supports survivors in rebuilding lives grounded in worth, safety, and authentic love. Learn more at amandajscott.com. Key Takeaways  : Abuse is not only physical—it can be emotional, financial, and hidden behind silence and manipulation. Acknowledging abuse is the first step to freedom; you don’t need external validation if it feels wrong. Self-care is sacred, not selfish—it is about breathing space, grounding in nature, and reclaiming personal needs. Survivors often normalize abusive behavior until a moment of awakening sparks the decision to say enough. Healthy relationships are built on respect, safety, and mutual growth—not control or fear. Forgiveness is important, but it comes after rebuilding self-worth and trust in oneself. Small, consistent self-care acts—like walking in nature or grounding barefoot on the earth—can begin the healing journey. Support networks (friends, safe communities, professionals) are essential for survivors to move forward. Healing is not a one-time event—it is a daily commitment to self-belief and choosing yourself. True love never makes you feel small, afraid, or silenced; it nurtures, uplifts, and respects boundaries.   Connect with the Guest   Website: www.amandajscott.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana digs into a clear, step-by-step approach to building a cash-flowing U.S. real estate portfolio with only ~20% down. Guest Axel Meierhoefer breaks down mindset, savings habits (pay yourself first), and his Out-of-State Turnkey (OSTK) method—why single-family rentals in affordable markets can compound steadily through leverage, rent, amortization, and tax benefits. We also address risk management: cash-flow screens, reserves, tenant stability, and long-term horizons so wealth grows without spiking anxiety. Direct, practical, and designed for listeners who want financial independence without gambling.   About the Guest  : Axel Meierhoefer is a real-estate mentor and founder of Ideal Wealth Grower. After a career in the Air Force and consulting, he built a seven-figure rental portfolio and now mentors investors on turnkey, out-of-state single-family strategies that emphasize cash flow, sensible leverage, and systemized operations.   Key Takeaways: Pay yourself first: auto-allocate 10–15% of income into a separate investing account so the down payment fund steadily compounds. Small market advantage: target affordable, landlord-friendly U.S. metros where the price-to-rent ratio supports positive cash flow. Single-family stability: SFR tenants often stay longer than small multis, lowering turnover costs and stress. 20% down ≠ high risk when screened well: buy cash-flow positive properties after mortgage, taxes, insurance, management, and maintenance. Reserves are non-negotiable: bank monthly cash flow to cover vacancy and CapEx, so risk decreases over time. Leverage math (example): $20k down on a $100k home + 5% appreciation ≈ $5k equity gain (25% on cash invested) before amortization and tax benefits. Mindset > mechanics: set a target (e.g., $20–30k), track monthly progress, and keep the focus on long-term investing, not short-term speculation. Entry ladder if 20% is tough: consider REITs or tokenized real estate to begin learning while saving toward direct ownership.   Connect with the Guest   Website: idealwealthgrower.com Complimentary Discovery Call: Use the “Discovery Call” button on the top-right of the site to discuss goals and the mentoring process.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
