Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

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

A new year can feel hopeful and heavy at the same time. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana (filling in for Avik) sits down with spiritual teacher and transformation guide Ashmita Arora to explore a bold question: is there one root cause behind most human suffering, and one solution that keeps getting missed?

This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck in repeating patterns, burnout, relationship strain, or self-pressure. Ashmita breaks down how attachment fuels overwhelm, and how detachment (especially in perception) can create real freedom, clarity, and peace.

About the Guest:
Ashmita Arora is a spiritual teacher, transformation guide, entrepreneur, and author. She is the founder of an intuitive practice and creator of Portal to Self, a transformational journey focused on clarity, release, and integration.

Key Takeaways:

Identify the attachment driving your stress (perfection, success, approval, control).

Practice detachment by changing how you perceive the situation, not just the situation itself.

Use meditation consistently to reconnect with your body’s signals of expansion vs contraction.

Reframe “mistakes” by assigning new meaning and looking for the lesson.

Ask before big choices: “Is this fear, guilt, or obligation?”

When life feels loud and mentally crowded, a good story can soften time and calm the nervous system. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with author and consultant Henry L. Sullivan III to explore why audiobooks can feel like true mental rest, not just entertainment.

This conversation is for anyone who feels too stressed or distracted to read like they used to, or wants a healthier way to decompress without numbing out. Henry shares how stories help us escape daily pressure while still gaining insight, plus simple ways to bring audiobooks into your routine.

About the Guest:
Henry L. Sullivan III is an author, traveler, and independent consultant. He writes speculative fiction and social reflection, including the thriller Colosseum, and produces audiobooks with voice actors and full performances.

Key Takeaways:

Use audiobooks as “active rest” when your mind is overloaded, especially during commutes or chores

If focus is low, start with audiobooks to rebuild your reading habit without pressure

A strong narrator or cast performance can pull you into calm, immersive attention

Stories can help you process real-world stress indirectly, without constant news exposure

Make one weekly choice to listen purely for enjoyment, not self-improvement

How to Connect With the Guest:
Find Henry’s audiobooks by searching “Henry LSullivan III Colosseum” on Audible, Amazon, Spotify, TuneIn, Audiobooks.com, Storytel, and Libro.fm. You can also borrow via libraries on Hoopla Digital and Libby (formerly OverDrive).
