Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

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.

Key Takeaways:

Notice how “push through” often creates more shutdown, not more strength

Separate your inner truth from cultural rules about gender, worth, and safety

Use bottom-up tools (breath, movement, sound, mindfulness) to support regulation

Understand reactivity and dissociation as survival responses, not personal failure

Explore somatic parts work to reduce inner conflict and build integration

Build safety in the body first, then the mind can follow

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Dr. Bob Rich for a real conversation about grief, suffering, and the choices we make when life breaks open.

This episode is for anyone navigating loss, big change, or emotional pain and wondering how to keep going without forcing a “growth story.” You will hear practical ways to build self-respect, respond to anger with intention, and find meaning at your own pace.

About the Guest:
Dr. Bob Rich is a retired psychotherapist and author based in Halesville, Victoria. He has written The Hole in Your Life: Grief and Bereavement and shares resources through his blog, “Bobbing Around.”

Key Takeaways:

Treat setbacks as learning opportunities: ask “What can I learn from this?”

Build a pause habit for anger: breathe, count, then respond.

Let grief be wider than death: job loss, illness, divorce, and change also count.

Turn love into action: create something that helps others when they hurt.

Practice self-respect first, especially when self-judgment spirals.

What if success is not about pushing harder, but flipping the right internal switch? On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf Khan sits down with Terri Maxwell to unpack how your brain’s definition of success can quietly drive stress, burnout, and constant proving.

This episode is for high achievers who feel anxious, exhausted, or never “good enough” even after hitting goals. Terri shares the Success Switch framework and a simple daily practice to regulate your nervous system, shift out of fight-or-flight, and pursue goals with more calm, clarity, and fulfillment.

About the Guest :
Terri Maxwell is a speaker, researcher, and author focused on the neuroscience of success and well-being. She is also the CEO of Shift/Co Public Benefit Corp and created the Success Switch, a brain-based approach to healthier performance.

Key Takeaways:

Success can become a moving goalpost if your worth is tied to outcomes

Early “not good enough” wiring can fuel stress-driven achievement into adulthood

Calm, steady effort feels different than frantic pressure and urgency

The ABCs: Awareness (“The truth is, I feel…”), Breathing (4 slow breaths), Claim a new belief

Practice the Success Switch twice daily for 7 days to build a new default state

Your external results often mirror your internal dialogue and nervous system state

We scroll, react, and stay “busy” online, yet still feel unseen. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with relationship coach and author Keith Spurgin to unpack what real connection actually looks like and why loneliness keeps rising.

This conversation is for anyone who feels alone even with people around them, struggles with conflict, or keeps shutting down after getting hurt. You will hear practical ways to rebuild trust, stop self-sabotaging relationships, and stay open without isolating yourself.

About the Guest:
Keith Spurgin is a relationship coach, author, and “leader of leaders.” He wrote Unknown: Finding Connection in a Disconnected World and shares practical guidance on building healthier relationships.

Key Takeaways:

Followers and acquaintances are not the same as being truly known, seen, and heard

Shame keeps people quiet about loneliness, which deepens isolation

Watch for self-sabotage patterns like ghosting and pushing people away first

Conflict is normal in every relationship, and working through it builds closeness

“Canceling” people after disagreements is a warning sign you are moving toward isolation

Forgiveness happens in layers and helps you reopen connection without denying the hurt
