Heal the Wounds Within: Inner Child Work, Shame Release, and Self Forgiveness with Anjalia McGoldrick
Some wounds are not from one moment, but years of surviving what you never should have faced. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with trauma-informed psychotherapist Anjalia McGoldrick to explore how real healing begins when you finally slow down and look within. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in old patterns, gets easily triggered in relationships, or quietly believes it is too late to change. You will learn how to spot inner-child signals, stop projecting pain onto others, and rebuild self-worth through compassion, forgiveness, and daily practice. About the Guest: Anjalia McGoldrick is a trauma-informed psychotherapist, metaphysician, and motivational speaker. She founded Life in Balance Counseling and Wellness Center and is the author of The Child I Left Behind. Key Takeaways: Treat triggers as signals: name the emotion, then ask “where do I feel this in my body?” Replace blame with curiosity: “What old story is this activating in me?” Practice inner-child reparenting: respond with reassurance, not criticism. Watch for avoidance habits (overworking, numbing behaviors) and choose one honest step instead. Use forgiveness as self-release: write what happened, what you learned, and what you needed then.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Gazit Chaya Nkosi to explore what it truly takes to move from surviving to genuinely living. Gazit shares a raw, grounded journey through long-term suicidal thinking, sensory sensitivity, trauma responses, and the slow return to inner trust. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in anxiety, shutdown, reactivity, shame, or the pressure to “push through.” You will hear practical insight on why talk therapy alone can miss the body’s needs, how nervous system regulation changes everything, and how to find a path beyond rigid cultural rules into real self-worth. About the Guest: Gazit Chaya Nkosi is a coach and mystic seeker who works with Safe and Sound Protocol listening and somatic parts work. They share lived experience with trauma, sensory sensitivity, and reclaiming a life that feels safe and authentic.

Detach to Heal: The One Root Cause Behind Most Struggles with Ashmita Arora
A new year can feel hopeful and heavy at the same time. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana (filling in for Avik) sits down with spiritual teacher and transformation guide Ashmita Arora to explore a bold question: is there one root cause behind most human suffering, and one solution that keeps getting missed? This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck in repeating patterns, burnout, relationship strain, or self-pressure. Ashmita breaks down how attachment fuels overwhelm, and how detachment (especially in perception) can create real freedom, clarity, and peace. About the Guest: Ashmita Arora is a spiritual teacher, transformation guide, entrepreneur, and author. She is the founder of an intuitive practice and creator of Portal to Self, a transformational journey focused on clarity, release, and integration. Key Takeaways: Identify the attachment driving your stress (perfection, success, approval, control). Practice detachment by changing how you perceive the situation, not just the situation itself. Use meditation consistently to reconnect with your body’s signals of expansion vs contraction. Reframe “mistakes” by assigning new meaning and looking for the lesson.
