When life feels overwhelming, we often push harder instead of listening inward. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu sits down with therapist and nature-based practitioner Mary Rothwell to explore what plants can teach us about thriving.

This conversation is for anyone feeling stressed, emotionally drained, or stuck in people-pleasing patterns. You will learn practical, grounded ways to notice what you need, set healthier boundaries, and reconnect with your body and environment, starting with small moments of nature in daily life.

About the Guest:
Mary Rothwell is a licensed therapist, speaker, and podcast host with more than 35 years of mental health experience. She is also a Master Gardener and a certified forest therapy practitioner, and she has a book coming out called Nature Knows.

Key Takeaways:

Stop defaulting to “try harder” when you feel burnout; more effort can backfire, like overwatering a plant.

Use your body as data: notice where tension sits and what actually helps you recover.

Boundaries are not about shutting people out; they protect what you need to stay nourished.

Start small with nature: a houseplant, a neighborhood tree, or five minutes outside counts.

Practice “sense-based mindfulness”: breathe, then notice what you see, hear, smell, and feel.

Healthy connection matters: like ecosystems, people thrive with support, not isolation.

Most stress is not caused by the moment. It is caused by the inner patterns we keep repeating. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Debbie Longo to unpack how these hidden patterns shape stress, emotions, and daily choices.

This episode is for anyone stuck in anxiety loops, people-pleasing, overthinking, or burnout, even when life looks “fine.” You will learn how to spot the real driver behind the behavior, pause before spiraling, and use simple tools like breathwork, meditation, and support to feel calmer and more grounded.

About the Guest:
Debbie Longo is a coach who shares insights from her lived experience and 25 years working with clients. She focuses on identifying the roots behind everyday stress patterns and helping people shift them through practical, simple changes.

Key Takeaways:

Notice the repeated stress trigger, not just the stressful event

Learned behaviors often start in childhood, but they can also come from adult loss or trauma

Treat the root cause (like ego or fear), not only the visible symptom

When you feel “off,” stop, find quiet, and name what you are choosing instead

Use daily breathing or a simple meditation practice to regulate your nervous system

If you feel stuck, get support from a coach or professional you trust
