Self-Compassion and Discipline with Vanessa Leone
In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik sits down with movement therapist Vanessa Leone to explore how movement is much more than exercise—it’s a language of healing, freedom, and connection. With nearly two decades of experience in sports science and wellness, Vanessa shares how navigating ADHD, autoimmune challenges, and hypermobility reshaped her philosophy on movement. She reveals why self-compassion is the root of true self-discipline, how emotions are inseparable from motion, and why joyful movement—not forced workouts—creates lasting transformation. This conversation is a practical guide for anyone struggling with burnout, chronic pain, or the pressure of fitness expectations. Listeners will learn how to reframe movement into something nurturing, sustainable, and deeply therapeutic. About the Guest Vanessa Leone is a consultant for Technogym, international presenter, and disruptor in the fitness and wellness space. With a unique blend of science, lived experience, and compassion, she helps people rediscover the healing power of movement as medicine. Key Takeaways Movement therapy is not about performance or aesthetics—it’s about joy, freedom, and self-love. “Motion is emotion, and emotion is motion”—the body and mind are inseparable. Self-compassion fuels self-discipline; shame and force only create burnout. Chronic illness and pain are invitations to slow down and listen to the body’s needs. Start with small, enjoyable movements—walking, dancing, stretching—that shift mood and energy. Music, community, and play are powerful gateways into sustainable movement practices. Emotional resilience can be built through movement, as the body often expresses what words cannot.

Turning Trauma into Purpose and Power with Shari Leigh Roberts | Healthy Mind, Healthy Life
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with psychic medium and energy healer Shari Leigh Roberts about the transformative journey from trauma to empowerment. Shari shares how acknowledging victimhood is the first step toward reclaiming your power, and how trauma manifests not just in the mind, but in the body and energy field. Together, they explore the importance of facing pain instead of bypassing it, connecting with our spirit teams, and moving beyond survival into true healing. This conversation is raw, authentic, and filled with insights for anyone seeking to turn pain into purpose. About the Guest Shari Leigh Roberts is a psychic medium and energy healer who guides people to heal trauma, reclaim power, and live with spiritual alignment. Drawing from her own lived experiences, Shari helps clients connect with their intuitive abilities and spirit teams to move beyond trauma and step into their true purpose. Learn more about her work at sharileighroberts.com. Key Takeaways Acknowledging victimhood is the foundation for stepping into empowerment. Healing is not linear—blocks and resistance are part of the journey. Trauma often manifests physically (headaches, chronic illness) and energetically. Working with your spirit team helps you realize you are never truly alone. True healing is both a personal choice and a process of spiritual alignment. Transformation is possible when you embrace both the pain and the purpose behind it. Connect with the Guest Website: https://shariroberts.org Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Consistency Over Intensity: The Floor and Ceiling Method for Lasting Health with Jack Sorenson
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Jack Sorenson to explore a sustainable approach to health and fitness called the Floor and Ceiling Method. Jack shares his personal journey from being a collegiate athlete to battling unhealthy habits, facing identity loss, and ultimately rebuilding his life through fitness, sobriety, and mindset shifts. Instead of chasing perfection or burning out, Jack’s method helps people set realistic “floors” (minimum effort on hard days) and aspirational “ceilings” (maximum capacity without burnout) to stay consistent long-term. This episode uncovers how small, steady actions create a lifestyle that lasts, and why pivoting doesn’t mean stopping—it means adapting for sustainability. If you’ve ever struggled with yo-yo dieting, unrealistic workout plans, or self-criticism for not being “perfect,” this conversation will show you how to reframe your health journey for real progress and balance. About the Guest Jack Sorenson is a fitness coach, entrepreneur, and creator of the Floor and Ceiling Method. A former multi-sport athlete turned health strategist, Jack helps people “start and never stop” by combining practical fitness strategies with mindset tools. After overcoming addiction and weight struggles, he now empowers others to build sustainable habits that align with their lifestyle. Key Takeaways The Floor and Ceiling Method ensures progress by setting non-negotiable minimums and achievable maximums. Consistency beats intensity—progress is built over years, not weeks. Perfection is unrealistic; sustainability comes from doing “less but longer.” Health is more than physical—it’s mental and emotional resilience. Pivoting in your fitness routine is not failure—it’s adapting for longevity. Identity shift is key: health must be part of who you are, not a temporary phase. Movement in any form—walking, weightlifting, pickleball, or mobility work—counts toward a healthy lifestyle. Sharing your story openly can be a powerful step toward healing and helping others.

Sticky Note Mantras: Humor, Healing, and Mental Health with Helene Zupanc & Beth Valdez
In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with licensed professional counselors and authors Helene Zupanc and Beth Valdez to explore the transformative power of sticky note mantras. Their book, Sticky Note Mantras: The Art and Science of Choosing Your Thoughts, blends science, humor, and personal experience to show how short, memorable mantras can rewire the brain, reduce anxiety, and shift negative self-talk into self-compassion. From OCD and ADHD struggles to using humor as a healing tool, Helene and Beth share practical strategies and deeply personal stories that remind us that mental health isn’t about overnight change—it’s about small, intentional steps that build resilience over time. About the Guests Helene Zupanc is an OCD specialist and counselor who has turned her lived experience with intrusive thoughts into a therapeutic practice for others. Beth Valdez is a licensed counselor whose creative, humorous, and neuroscience-backed approach makes mental health tools both relatable and effective. Together, they are co-authors of Sticky Note Mantras and passionate advocates for making mental health simple, actionable, and even fun. Key Takeaways Sticky note mantras are quick, personalized cues that help interrupt negative thought cycles and build healthier mental habits. Humor is a powerful healing tool—it diffuses stress, rewires perspective, and fosters connection. Naming intrusive or anxious thoughts (“that’s my anxiety brain”) helps create space to choose healthier responses. Repetition is essential—like brushing your teeth, daily mantras strengthen new neural pathways. Pairing mantras with daily routines (“habit stacking”) reinforces positive self-talk and intentional living. Self-compassion is not optional—it’s foundational. Balance, fun, and kindness toward yourself are crucial to sustainable mental health.

Balancing Mental Health and Political Awareness in an Age of Outrage | Alison Sher
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with journalist and author Alison Sher to explore how we can stay politically informed without sacrificing our mental health. Drawing from her book The Social Contagion: Viral Ideologies and the Culture War for America’s Future, Alison unpacks the tension between outrage culture, biased news cycles, and our civic duty to stay engaged. The conversation dives into practical strategies for consuming news without burnout, how to navigate polarized narratives, and why curiosity and compassion are essential for respectful dialogue in today’s divided world. If you’ve ever felt mentally drained by headlines or guilty for tuning out, this episode offers tools to reset your relationship with information and reclaim your inner balance. About the Guest Alison Sher is a journalist, author, and cultural commentator whose work focuses on the fractures shaping modern society, from generational divides to ideological polarization. Her latest book, The Social Contagion, examines how viral media narratives influence our psychology and politics while offering a path toward neutrality, peacebuilding, and healthier civic engagement. Key Takeaways Staying informed requires boundaries—limit news and social media intake to avoid constant adrenaline spikes. Recognize bias in reporting: tools like DeBias.me and Ground News can help expose slanted narratives. Curiosity and dialogue are more powerful than outrage; respectful listening helps integrate diverse perspectives. Engagement doesn’t have to mean burnout—redefining activism to include joyful and sustainable approaches is key. Civic duty and mental health can coexist when we prioritize compassion, curiosity, and balance over constant outrage.

Unlocking God Within: Imagination, Identity, and Inner Awakening with Trey Tijerina | Healthy Mind, Healthy Life
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with entrepreneur, deep thinker, and spiritual seeker Trey Tijerina to explore how imagination can unlock the divine spark within us. Together they unpack unconscious programming, limiting beliefs, and the ways imagination can serve as both a tool for creation and for healing. Trey shares personal insights from fatherhood, entrepreneurship, and spiritual exploration—inviting us to dissolve old identifications and live in pure possibility rather than predictable limitations. This conversation challenges societal and mental systems while offering practical guidance on using imagination to manifest abundance, shift subconscious patterns, and find deeper alignment with love, freedom, and truth. About the Guest Trey Tijerina is an entrepreneur with ventures across multiple industries, including three successful exits. Beyond business, Trey is a father and a spiritual explorer dedicated to helping people disrupt unconscious programming and access their inner power. His work bridges imagination, identity, and transformation, guiding individuals to live more freely and authentically. Key Takeaways Most people live on unconscious programming passed down through generations—but we can disrupt and reframe it. Imagination isn’t just daydreaming; when paired with feeling, it becomes a powerful tool for manifestation. Manifestation fails when thoughts of abundance clash with feelings of fear or lack—feeling is the true driver. Becoming a parent was Trey’s personal disruption, reflecting back deeper truths about self and relationships. Money beliefs often stem from family programming, but we can choose to reprogram intentionally. True imagination aligns with unpredictability and pure possibility, not just probability and control. Dissolving identification with “I am” labels opens access to spiritual truth and freedom. Imagination can be a healing tool through revision—reframing past experiences to shift how we carry them forward. Time is an illusion; memory is imagination at work, allowing us to reshape the way we relate to the past. The universe responds not to what we want, but to who we are—our collective thoughts, beliefs, and energy.

Technology, Strength, and Midlife Wellness: Redefining Health with Patty Durell and Daniel Hartshorn
In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Patty Durell, founder of Rock Solid Fitness, and Daniel Hartshorn, co-founder of Flowgreens and ScentXpresso, to explore how technology, aromatherapy, and strength training are reshaping wellness in a high-stress, tech-driven world. From smart showers that transform daily routines into mindful rituals, to efficient resistance training that rebuilds energy and confidence for women in midlife, this conversation challenges outdated health myths and reframes what vitality truly looks like. Whether you’re feeling stuck in burnout, curious about tech-powered healing, or seeking strength without overtraining, this episode offers practical, science-backed insights you can apply today. About the Guests Patty Durell is a strength training expert and the creator of High Intensity SAFE™ Strength Training, a proven method that helps high-performing women regain strength, energy, and confidence with just two 25-minute sessions a week. She is also the founder of Rock Solid Fitness. Daniel Hartshorn is an entrepreneur and co-founder of ScentXpresso, a wellness technology company creating spa-like aromatherapy shower experiences to combat stress and burnout. With a background in scaling tech startups, Daniel now focuses on human-centered innovation for health and well-being. Key Takeaways Strength training is not about doing more but about doing enough—properly applied resistance builds both physical and mental resilience. Many midlife women avoid lifting weights due to myths about injury or “bulking up,” but real results come from heavy resistance done safely. Smart aromatherapy rituals, such as Daniel’s ScentXpresso, turn overlooked moments like a shower into powerful anchors for relaxation and mental reset. Scent is a primal sensory trigger tied to memory and emotion—using it intentionally can reduce stress and promote emotional stability. Rituals and boundaries—like nature walks, hugs, family breakfasts, or mindful exercise—help root us in balance amidst digital overload. Resistance training improves sleep, mood, hormonal balance, and self-worth, especially for women navigating menopause and midlife challenges. Both guests stress the importance of cultural reset: midlife is not “old age,” but an opportunity to strengthen body, mind, and daily habits. Wellness technology’s future lies in combining hard data (like heart rate and blood pressure) with personal experiences of well-being for truly personalized care.

Mastering Clarity and Courageous Living with Hussein Hallak | Healthy Mind, Healthy Life
In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya sits down with Hussein Hallak, author of The Dark Art of Life Mastery, to unpack what it really means to live with clarity, courage, and authenticity. From his journey as a Syrian-born Canadian navigating war, migration, and reinvention, Hussein shares practical insights on mindfulness as a lived practice, not a buzzword. Together, they explore why clarity must start within, how discomfort signals growth, and why authenticity is about becoming yourself rather than simply being yourself. This conversation challenges you to stop waiting for permission and begin shaping life on your own terms—messy, imperfect, and fully alive. About the Guest Hussein Hallak is a Syrian-born Canadian entrepreneur, writer, and mentor who has spent over two decades helping people make sense of chaos—whether in business, art, or everyday life. His book The Dark Art of Life Mastery offers a raw, honest perspective on stripping away illusions, reclaiming agency, and choosing courage over comfort. Key Takeaways Clarity starts inward: being clear on values, purpose, and choices is more powerful than clarity about external events. Daily practice: asking “What matters most today?” can transform decision-making and create alignment. Growth requires discomfort: stepping outside comfort zones is where expansion and joy happen. Risk is part of life: the key is managing risks through small, intentional steps rather than avoiding them altogether. Authenticity isn’t “being yourself” but choosing who you want to be in each moment, based on your principles. Consistency matters in values and principles, not in external appearances or rigid routines. Courageous living means acting even with fear present, trusting that clarity and direction emerge through action.
