In this episode of Healthy Waves, hosted by Sayan , we explore a simple but radical idea: wellness isn’t something you “achieve”—it’s a relationship you practice daily, through your body, emotions, and awareness.

This conversation is for anyone feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in “just be positive” advice that doesn’t actually help. Kerisma Vere shares how trauma can fragment our inner world, why awareness can feel painful, and how micro-moments of self-compassion can become a steady way back to yourself.

About the Guest:
Kerisma Vere is a holistic wellness coach and author based in Alder Grove, BC. Her work is grounded in lived experience and trauma-informed care, supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies, emotions, and inner safety.

Episode Chapters:

00:11:23 — Emotions don’t just live in the mind

00:12:32 — Dissociation and realizing the body was carrying pain

00:14:50 — Why “just be positive” doesn’t create real healing

00:18:35 — Trauma as “unfiled” memory: the file-drawer metaphor

00:21:35 — Why many people live on the outside of themselves

00:26:16 — Awareness can hurt: seeing our patterns honestly

00:30:06 — A compassionate daily check-in that changes decisions

Key Takeaways:

Notice where emotions show up in the body instead of arguing with them mentally.

Treat symptoms as signals of protection, not personal failure.

Go slowly: healing is more like untangling lights than flipping a switch.

Build “micro-moments” of awareness—small check-ins beat big overhauls.

Offer yourself one sentence of compassion during hard moments: “I see you. I love you.”

Choose vulnerability with discernment, not overgeneralized mistrust.

Some people write to build a brand. Others write to make sense of their own life. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we sit with author and publisher Tim Lindsay to explore what’s really underneath the urge to write a book.

This one’s for anyone who feels the pull to write—but also feels stuck, doubtful, or overwhelmed. Tim breaks writing down into something human: a path to clarity, meaning, service, and sometimes even a new chapter of identity.

About the Guest:
Tim Lindsay is the founder of Telwell Publishing and the author of Call to Authorship. He’s worked with thousands of authors over the past decade and helps people turn lived experience into books that reach readers.

Episode Chapters:

00:02:04 — The real reasons people feel called to write

00:04:12 — “Give, build, become”: the 3 publishing archetypes

00:08:19 — Why writing beats doom-scrolling for your mind

00:10:02 — How adversity turns into meaning (and stories)

00:11:08 — A refugee journey that became resilience on the page

00:17:10 — Writing workshops inside prisons: emotions on paper

00:21:02 — A mentally healthy way to start (without self-judgment)

Key Takeaways:

Name your “why”: to give, build, or become

Don’t “write a book”—write one page, then repeat

Consistency beats big time blocks: small, steady writing wins

Expect a rough first draft; it’s allowed to be messy

Use a simple outline or one-page plan to reduce anxiety

Go in with realistic expectations—meaning isn’t only measured in sales
