Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Samantha Jones to explore the hidden cost of “success” when your body is running on survival. Samantha shares how single motherhood, entrepreneurship, and chronic stress pulled her away from her own needs, and what finally helped her reconnect.

This conversation is for business owners, leaders, and parents who look successful on paper but feel disconnected inside. You will hear practical ways to rebuild energy and clarity through small nourishment rituals, and a mindset shift that flips hustle culture on its head: design your life first, then build your business around it.

About the Guest:
Samantha Jones is an entrepreneur, culinary herbalist, wellness strategist, author, and speaker. She has worked in healthcare practices (including dentistry) and helps leaders integrate nervous system health and nourishment into real life and business.

Key Takeaways:

Survival-mode leadership often creates action before clarity; stability flips it to clarity then action

You do not need burnout to hit milestones; success can include wellbeing

A simple daily ritual (like 2 PM tea time) can rebuild body connection and self-trust

Use food as support, not trends: notice what you feel, then choose nourishment accordingly

Ask daily: “What do I want my life to look and feel like, and what is one small step today?”

Build your life first, then build a business that fits that life

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with Aleks Kryloff, founder of Stern, to talk about what “balance” really looks like when you are building a company from scratch. Aleks shares how a frustrating home-services experience pushed him to build a business around trust, communication, and modern systems.

This conversation is for founders, operators, and high-achievers who feel stuck in survival mode. You will hear practical ways to prioritize, protect family time, and reduce bottlenecks without losing standards, even when balance still feels far off.

About the Guest :
Aleks Kryloff is the founder of Stern, a New Jersey based home-services company focused on gutters and exterior services. He built Stern around clear communication, reliability, and a values-led team culture.

Key Takeaways:

Treat balance as a direction, not a daily scoreboard

Use strict prioritization: pick the few things that matter most today

Create protected deep-work time (Aleks uses 4:30 AM for 2 to 2.5 hours)

Delegate based on shared values first, skills second

Build a team that can carry responsibility, not just tasks

Ask yourself what you are choosing to prioritize and what you are ignoring

Some wounds are not from one moment, but years of surviving what you never should have faced. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with trauma-informed psychotherapist Anjalia McGoldrick to explore how real healing begins when you finally slow down and look within.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in old patterns, gets easily triggered in relationships, or quietly believes it is too late to change. You will learn how to spot inner-child signals, stop projecting pain onto others, and rebuild self-worth through compassion, forgiveness, and daily practice.

About the Guest:
Anjalia McGoldrick is a trauma-informed psychotherapist, metaphysician, and motivational speaker. She founded Life in Balance Counseling and Wellness Center and is the author of The Child I Left Behind.

Key Takeaways:

Treat triggers as signals: name the emotion, then ask “where do I feel this in my body?”

Replace blame with curiosity: “What old story is this activating in me?”

Practice inner-child reparenting: respond with reassurance, not criticism.

Watch for avoidance habits (overworking, numbing behaviors) and choose one honest step instead.

Use forgiveness as self-release: write what happened, what you learned, and what you needed then.

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.
