From Farm Fields to Finding Purpose: Jody Durand on Mental Health, Loss & Leadership

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Rachel D. Vancelette—art advisor, strategist, and author of Own Your Worth—on how creatives can reclaim their value, heal from burnout, and navigate the art world with integrity. Rachel shares her personal journey through extreme burnout, autoimmune illness, and spiritual disconnection, all while leading major art institutions. She unpacks how saying “no,” finding sanctuary in art, and writing her book became transformational tools. This episode is a powerful reminder that creativity isn’t a commodity—it’s a lifeline. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to produce or perform, this is a conversation worth tuning in for. About the Guest:Rachel D. Vancelette is a global art advisor, creative strategist, and author of Own Your Worth: The Artist’s Guide to Selling with Purpose and Power. She’s led some of New York’s top galleries and curated cross-industry projects at the intersection of art, tech, and fashion. Her mission is to help artists find their voice, price their work with confidence, and break free from the myths of the “starving artist.” Key Takeaways: Burnout often hides beneath outward success; healing begins with honest self-inquiry. Reclaiming worth as a creative involves unlearning the pressure to say “yes” to everything. Writing, reflection, and boundary-setting can become spiritual practices. Social media metrics can distort artistic value—your voice is more than a like count. Artists must embrace entrepreneurship and price their work as a sustainable business model.

What separates champions from quitters? It’s not talent—it’s mindset. In this high-impact episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana speaks with Coach Sandy Cohen, a dynamic mindset coach, speaker, and author of the 99 Rules series. Sandy breaks down what it really means to train the "muscle between your ears," offering powerful insights into belief, grit, focus, and emotional control. Whether you're an athlete, parent, coach, or someone navigating pressure in everyday life, this conversation will reframe how you see performance and personal growth. From managing burnout to reshaping parental support in sports, this is a raw, practical guide to building a winning mindset. About the Guest:Coach Sandy Cohen is a high-energy mindset coach and speaker who has worked with thousands—from young kids to Olympians. He's the author of 99 Rules Every Athlete Needs to Know and 99 Rules Every Sports Parent Needs to Know, offering straightforward, no-fluff strategies to build character through sport. Sandy’s mission is simple: sports are the vehicle, but character is the destination. Key Takeaways: Mindset isn’t fluff—it’s foundational. Sandy defines mindset through what he calls “The Big 7”: belief, attitude, grit, focus, emotional control, discipline, and self-awareness. Confidence is not the root; belief is. Without belief, confidence and performance crumble. Athletes and parents often focus too much on outcomes. The real win lies in mastering actions and behaviors. Parents have a massive role—not as second coaches, but as steady supporters who know when not to intervene. Burnout happens when athletes ignore recovery and emotional health. Grit isn’t about pushing blindly—it’s about knowing when to pause and reset.

In this heartfelt episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Amy Friesen—award-winning entrepreneur, author, and founder of Tea & Toast—about the emotional realities of caregiving, trauma, and entrepreneurship. Amy shares how her personal journey through loss and family dysfunction led to creating two impactful organizations dedicated to guiding caregivers and families through the complex world of elder care. Amy reveals how building a business was both an act of survival and healing, and how her work now helps others navigate caregiving with boundaries, resilience, and community. From launching an entire industry category to supporting caregivers facing trauma, Amy's story offers powerful lessons for anyone balancing emotional weight with leadership. About the Guest: Amy Friesen is the founder of Tea and Toast and Elder Care Planners of Canada, both pioneering services helping Canadian families navigate eldercare. With over two decades in the senior living industry, Amy’s mission is to bring clarity, structure, and compassion to an emotionally taxing process. She’s also the author of a book that empowers caregivers with practical tools and insight to make informed, confident decisions. Key Takeaways: Caregiving often reactivates old trauma, especially in estranged or difficult family relationships. Entrepreneurship can be a vehicle for healing—but it requires resilience when recognition is absent. Amy created a new category in eldercare planning from scratch, confronting legal and systemic barriers with determination. “You are not alone” is more than a slogan—it’s a strategy for mental wellness through connection and community. Leadership in caregiving isn't about doing more, but about setting boundaries and doing what matters.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with transformational coach and Healed Hero founder, Adaku Mbagwu, to unpack the hidden burdens and emotional scars carried by eldest daughters. From growing up as the responsible child in a family of seven to reaching a breaking point of burnout and depression, Adaku shares her journey of survival, awakening, and leadership. This episode isn’t about fixing what isn’t broken—it’s about healing what’s been ignored. A must-listen for high-achieving women who are done living in over-functioning survival mode. About the Guest:Adaku Mbagwu is a Nigerian-born, Tulum-based transformational coach and founder of the Healed Hero Movement, a global community for firstborn daughters ready to break free from emotional labor and perfectionism. From living in her car after a suicide attempt to building a 7-figure business, Adaku now helps high-functioning women access emotional clarity and rewire subconscious patterns that keep them stuck in over-performance. Her mission: to help eldest daughters lead from wholeness, not from wounds. Key Takeaways: Over-functioning is often mistaken for strength but is deeply rooted in trauma and subconscious conditioning. High-achieving women may not realize they are stuck in survival mode—guilt, exhaustion, and over-responsibility are key red flags. Healing begins with naming emotions and learning to ask for support—vulnerability is not weakness, it’s a gateway to receiving. Meditation, therapy, and inner child work helped Adaku transform pain into purpose and rewrite her identity from control to clarity. Leadership born from peace is more sustainable than leadership born from sacrifice.

In this raw and grounding episode, Avik speaks with author and healer Samantha Jones Darling about her newest book I Am Ready: Let That Ish Go. From surviving deep trauma to guiding others in healing, Samantha shares how surrender, emotional grounding, and radical truth-telling helped her navigate PTSD, addiction, and illness. She explains what “letting go” really means—beyond clichés—and offers a powerful reframe of grief as a wise friend. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a shift, this episode is your call to pause, feel, and rise. About the Guest:Samantha Jones Darling is an author, healer, and world traveler known for her soulful approach to transformation. Her book I Am Ready: Let That Ish Go is both a guidebook and a soul anthem for those ready to release what no longer serves them. Through private retreats, somatic wisdom, and her unique "Magic Breath" practice, she helps others break free from survival patterns and reclaim their truth. Samantha's work blends deep emotional presence, spiritual depth, and practical clarity. Key Takeaways: Letting go is not about forgetting—it’s about releasing what’s no longer yours to carry. Healing requires grounding: Samantha’s “Magic Breath” is a powerful tool to reset your emotional safety. You don’t need to heal everything at once. Start with one thing. Grief isn’t the enemy. It’s a teacher, a friend, and a portal to healing. Full surrender opens the door to unexpected miracles—when you stop performing and start being.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Glen Lubbert, CEO and co-founder of Stamina Lab, about a solution-focused approach that starts with what’s already working. Glen breaks down how to reframe burnout as a signpost, swap shame for evidence-based self-efficacy, and design many paths to the same outcome—focus, energy, and resilience—without white-knuckling your habits. Listeners learn practical prompts (“What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make?”) and 24-hour micro-actions to build momentum that lasts across real-life constraints like travel, family, and shifting schedules. Direct, actionable, and grounded in coaching science—not quick fixes.   About the guest  : Glen Lubbert is the co-founder & CEO of Stamina Lab, a health innovation studio integrating solution-focused coaching, mindfulness, and science-backed behavior strategies. A former Division I athlete, performance coach, and entrepreneur, he has collaborated with leading institutions and teams to help people create sustainable change.   Key takeaways: Start from strengths: ask, “What’s already working?” This shifts attention from problems to usable resources you can scale. Use the two core prompts: “What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make—for me and others?” Translate the vision into one small action in the next 24 hours; repetition builds self-efficacy and identity (“I am the person who…”). Routines are tools, not rules. When life breaks your routine, choose an alternative path (deep breath, mindful walk, stairs at the airport) that still serves the outcome. Reframe burnout as information, not failure; noticing is progress. Then act on a smallest-next-step that restores focus or energy. Swap guilt/shame loops for evidence collection: list what stopped you from going further off-track (e.g., half a pint, not a full pint). Anchor motivation by asking “What difference will that make?” until it connects to meaningful values (presence, creativity, loved ones). Expect many valid paths to the same river—flexibility beats perfectionism for long-term adherence.   How to connect with the guest   Website: staminaLab.io X/Twitter: @GlenLubbert YouTube & more: linked from the website   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Healthy Waves, Avik explores how to stop dimming your light to fit expectations and start living by design. Certified holistic life coach Samantha Kane (Roots Wings Wellness) unpacks practical ways to release limiting beliefs, set boundaries with family and culture, trust your inner compass, and align daily choices with your higher self. We cover somatic micro-practices to stay present, how to handle fear of disappointing others, and why redefining success on your own terms is the opposite of selfishness. If you’ve felt “restless” or boxed in by labels, this conversation gives you simple, repeatable steps to move from compliance to authentic expression across work, relationships, and lifestyle. About the guest   Samantha Kane is a certified holistic life coach and conscious guide at Roots Wings Wellness. She helps people reconnect with their authentic self through intuition-led choices, gentle somatic tools, and values-aligned boundaries. She offers a free guide, “The Art of Nonconformity: 5 Powerful Tips to Break Free and Live Authentically.” Key takeaways   Non-conformity isn’t chaos; it’s clear self-leadership rooted in values, boundaries, and responsibility. Safety and “the known” often mask limiting beliefs; small, consistent decisions create durable change. Start with presence: five minutes daily of breath work, body shakes, or silent reflection resets your nervous system and focus. Redefine success on your terms; stop outsourcing approval to family, culture, or job titles. Honor the “sacrifice”: letting go of outdated identities creates space for what truly fits now. Use your inner compass: intuition + evidence (small experiments) beats external noise. Expect mixed emotions—freedom can feel lonely at first; build supportive spaces and stick with the process. Practical first step: choose one situation this week to pause, notice the old pattern, and take the next right, values-aligned action.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Jerry Henderson—Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and host of the Permission to Love podcast—to unpack how shame quietly fuels burnout, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. Jerry shares the inner work that moved him from achievement-as-proof to achievement-as-expression, and explains why self-acceptance increases sustainable performance without the self-punishment loop. If you lead, build, or strive—and feel like it never feels like “enough”—this conversation gives you a practical path to healthy high achievement rooted in identity, self-compassion, and aligned ambition. About the guest  : Jerry Henderson is a Master Certified Coach, author, speaker, and creator of the Personal Mastery Framework. He’s raised $1B+ in philanthropy and blends psychology, coaching, and trauma-informed practices to help high achievers transform shame-driven success into fulfillment, resilience, and impact. He hosts the Permission to Love podcast. Key takeaways: Shame vs. guilt: Guilt = “I did something wrong.” Shame = “I am something wrong.” Shame often drives overwork, perfectionism, and burnout. Achievement isn’t the enemy: High achievement can be healthy; it turns harmful when used to outrun not-enoughness. The inside job: Chasing external approval rarely creates peace. The work is self-acceptance first, then achievement as expression—not proof. Energy shift: Moving from self-criticism to self-compassion changes the fuel source—less grind, more clarity and consistency. Not complacency: Acceptance doesn’t mean settling. It means you challenge yourself from care, not fear. Identity > outcomes: Know who you are without your wins. Let wins amplify who you are, not define it. Spot the signs: When “5 o’clock comes sooner,” relationships strain, or health dips, achievement may be shame-driven. Practical start: Notice the inner critic story; replace it with one small act of self-acceptance today. Leader note: Self-berating “bossing” demotivates. Self-compassion sustains performance and protects well-being.
