Why Do We Struggle to Let Go and How Can the Body Lead the Way with Somatic Freedom? featuring Melanie Smithson

In this transformative episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Hank, a mental scientist, ordained minister, and author of 24 books, to explore the miraculous power of the human mind. After a devastating accident that left him paralyzed, Dr. Hank defied medical odds and walked again—through mindset, visualization, and divine alignment. In this powerful conversation, he unpacks the five-step creation formula, the difference between artificial and divine intelligence, and how to reprogram your reality with thought and emotion. Dr. Hank also introduces the energy of archangels and how each one supports our journey toward healing, abundance, and joy.   About the Guest:Dr. Hank is a renowned mental scientist, spiritual guide, and business mentor who teaches individuals how to harness their “Divine Intelligence” to transform their health, wealth, and happiness. Following a life-altering accident, he refused to accept a future in a wheelchair. Today, he walks, teaches, and inspires countless others with his story and his tools for mastering mindset and manifesting miracles.   Key Takeaways: Your thoughts create energy, which manifests into physical reality. Divine Intelligence (DI) is more powerful and aligned than Artificial Intelligence (AI). Visualizing what you do want shifts your vibrational state and attracts it. Archangels are energy sources you can channel for healing, love, wisdom, and communication. Even when you feel disconnected or lost, asking and believing can reignite your spark.   Connect with Dr. Hank: Website: www.drhankseitz.com WhatsApp: +1-214-753-7204 Books and mentoring programs available on his website.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: DM Me HereSubscribe To Newsletter:https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/Join Community:https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/podhealth.club/Threads - https://www.threads.net/@podhealth.clubFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/newandnew/ #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness

In this inspiring episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty dives deep with Brian Elam—longtime entrepreneur and host of Get Your Entrepreneurship Together (GYET)—to unpack the emotional and strategic challenges entrepreneurs face in their first five years. From overcoming scarcity thinking to building systems that create freedom, Brian shares powerful, actionable insights rooted in lived experience. If you're in the trenches of early entrepreneurship or gearing up to launch, this episode delivers the mental clarity and motivation you need to keep going.   About the Guest:Brian Elam has been navigating the entrepreneurial journey since 2006. As the host of GYET Podcast, he interviews successful business owners to reveal the behind-the-scenes reality of what it truly takes to build a thriving business. Brian believes everyday entrepreneurs—not politics or big corporations—will change the world. His mission is to help passionate individuals harness their purpose and build impactful businesses that serve their communities.   Key Takeaways: The biggest unspoken challenge in early entrepreneurship is staying rooted in passion when everything feels uncertain. Scarcity mindset can be replaced with abundance thinking through intentional practices, like the "money drawer" technique. Systems aren’t just a luxury—they are "freedom machines" that prevent burnout and scale impact. Automation and documentation help entrepreneurs step out of the weeds and focus on growth. Toxic beliefs like “nobody cares” or “I just need tech” often derail founders before their potential is realized. Entrepreneurship is not just a hustle—it's service, leadership, and a path to global change through local action.   Connect with Brian Elam: Email: brian@gyetpodcast.com Follow: YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Rumble (@GYETPodcast) Listen to his show: Get Your Entrepreneurship Together (GYET) for more real-talk and transformation.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch → DM Me HereSubscribe to the Newsletter → SubscribeJoin Our Community → Join Now   Stay Tuned And Follow Us:YouTube – Healthy Mind-Healthy LifeInstagram – @podhealth.clubThreads – @podhealth.clubFacebook – Healthy Mind PodcastLinkedIn – Avik Chakraborty #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #entrepreneurship #mindset #gyet

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty dives into a mind-shifting conversation with financial strategist Monica Kaufman. They unpack why “you cannot go where your mind hasn’t gone before” is more than a quote—it’s a roadmap to lasting financial success. Monica, a seasoned financial advisor, breaks down how mindset, not income, separates the truly wealthy from the high earners living paycheck to paycheck. From emotional spending and lifestyle creep to generational money patterns and the truth about risk, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about money—and yourself.   About the Guest:Monica Kaufman is a financial transformation expert and founder at Harmony AM. With decades of experience helping clients from all income levels, Monica blends financial literacy with the science of positive psychology.

In this deeply moving episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with author and advocate Alicia Johnson Niles, who courageously opens up about living with complex PTSD after the violent loss of her father in early childhood. Alicia shares her journey of growing up in the shadow of trauma, navigating the internalized shame and people-pleasing tendencies that followed, and how confronting the truth behind her father’s murder helped her heal. Her upcoming memoir, Angel in Arlington, is a testament to facing fear, reclaiming identity, and forging peace from pain.   About the Guest:Alicia Johnson Niles is an author, speaker, and trauma recovery advocate. After losing her father to a violent crime at age two, Alicia spent decades unknowingly living with C-PTSD. Her healing journey began at 30 when she gave herself permission to grieve and seek truth. Alicia now inspires others to embrace their “unlikely courage” and connect with the grief they've suppressed. Her memoir offers a powerful narrative of healing and hope.   Key Takeaways: Trauma can shape identity even without conscious memory. Grief, when suppressed, manifests in anxiety, shame, and people-pleasing. Healing often begins with permission—sometimes from others, always from within. Confronting painful truths, even decades later, can be a gateway to peace. Emotional eating and people-pleasing are common grief responses, especially in children. Courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to walk through it.   Connect with Alicia:Visit www.angelinarlington.com to receive a free chapter of her book and stay updated on its release.
