The Mindful Journey

If you’ve ever felt tired of wellness “protocols” and confused by medical jargon, this The Mindful Journey episode hosted by Sana is for you. Together with Jon Hacker, we name the real tension: too many options, too much noise, and not enough clarity.This conversation is for anyone navigating anxiety, burnout, or chronic stress who wants practical, reality-based ways to think and choose—without getting pulled into extremes. You’ll hear why “science-backed” can be a slippery label, how to use research tools to ask better questions, and what it means to rebuild agency slowly, day by day.About the Guest:Jon Hacker is an entrepreneur, biomedical engineer, and neuroscientist. He’s the CEO and co-founder of New York Gear, where he developed ZenBud, an ultrasound-based vagus nerve stimulator.Episode Chapter:05:10 — “Healing isn’t a trend”: cutting through wellness hype08:06 — Stuck between big medicine and big wellness10:35 — Why jargon hides clarity (and how to ask better questions)16:25 — The problem with “science-backed” as a marketing label22:07 — The tough truth: personal responsibility, without losing hopeKey Takeaways:Ask tools (or a trusted source) to explain concepts “like a fifth grader.”Treat “science-backed” as a prompt to verify, not a reason to trust.Look for pros/cons, conflicts of interest, and what’s actually measured.Don’t default to extremes; reality is usually mixed and nuanced.Build calm through daily nervous-system safety practices over quick fixes.How to Connect With the Guest:zenbud.health (use the Contact section)🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?Send me a direct message on PodMatch.👉 DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik🌱 About Healthy Mind By Avik™️Healthy Mind By Avik™️ is a global platform redefining mental health as a necessity, not a luxury.

On The Mindful Journey, hosted by Yusuf, we explore a question most of us quietly carry: Why does peace feel closest when life is almost over—yet so far while we’re living it?If you’re tired of chasing “enough” (money, success, approval) and still feeling restless inside, this episode is for you. Stuart Perrin, author of Rudra Meditation, shares how inner chaos can be transformed into calm, compassion, and a more grounded way to live—right now.About the Guest:Stuart Perrin is the author of Rudra Meditation and a lifelong practitioner of meditation.

What if the fear you can’t explain didn’t begin in this lifetime? On The Mindful Journey podcast, hosted by Sana, we explore the controversial-but-compelling idea that some emotional patterns may travel across lifetimes—and what it could mean to heal them. This episode is for anyone carrying an “irrational” fear, repeating the same relationship cycle, or feeling drawn to places and people without a logical reason. Donna Hartley shares how she approaches past-life patterns with grounded steps—release, forgiveness, and daily practices that help you feel safer in your body and clearer in your mind. About the Guest: Donna Hartley is a past-life reader and spiritual teacher who has survived six near-death experiences, including a plane crash, emergency heart surgery, and stage 3 melanoma. She helps people explore patterns like fear, self-sabotage, and lack of self-worth through what she calls unfinished karmic business. Episode Chapter: 00:04:48 — Setting the container: past lives, skepticism, and staying open 00:06:04 — Donna’s near-death experiences and why her work began 00:08:42 — The “spider fear” story: when fear doesn’t match your reality 00:12:02 — Sana shares her lizard fear + dreams and anxiety signals 00:14:12 — The cord-cutting ritual: releasing fear across lifetimes 00:16:39 — Déjà vu + Paris: trauma, memory, and finding peace 00:27:51 — Healing steps: release, forgiveness, grounding, food, movement, gratitude Key Takeaways: If a fear feels “too big” for your current life, explore the pattern without self-judgment. Release first: cry, yell, or express what’s been held in the body before “trying to fix” it. Forgiveness isn’t approval—it’s removing someone’s grip on your mind and nervous system. Try grounding: 20 minutes outdoors daily, barefoot if safe, to anchor yourself in the present. Support clarity with basics: less processed food, more whole foods, and movement for endorphins. Use simple reframes: “That was then. This is now. I choose peace in this life.” How to Connect With the Guest: Website: www.donnahartley.com Books: Fire Up Your Life, Fire Up Your Intuition, Fire Up Your Healing Services: Past life readings, spiritual mentoring, keynote speaking Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Have you ever stood in your kitchen at night, eating in silence and wondering what’s really going on? On The Mindful Journey Podcast, hosted by Sana, we explore the emotional roots of binge eating with coach Nadege Saysana. This episode is for women who look strong on the outside—especially in the gym—but feel out of control with food at night. You’ll learn why diets often deepen the cycle, how thoughts shape behavior without oversimplifying healing, and one calming technique you can use immediately. If you’ve carried shame around food, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a new path forward. About the Guest: Nadege Saysana is a binge-eating recovery coach and former English teacher. After 30 years of dieting and emotional eating, she transformed her relationship with food and now helps women build strength—mentally and physically—without guilt or restriction. Episode Chapters: 00:02 – The loneliness of midnight eating 00:05 – The first diet at 16 00:10 – Why diets kept failing 00:13 – What we’re really hungry for 00:19 – Thoughts, feelings, and behavior 00:27 – Identity shift after healing 00:35 – A simple calming technique Key Takeaways: Binge eating is often about unmet emotional needs, not lack of discipline. Repeated dieting can reinforce the very cycle you’re trying to escape. Thoughts influence feelings—but healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Strength training supports long-term health without “bulking.” Rubbing your hands together can quickly calm emotional overwhelm.

On The Mindful Journey, hosted by Sana, energy healer Herman Petrick explores why “balance” can feel out of reach when the issue isn’t just stress or habits—but what he describes as unseen energetic influences shaping our thoughts, emotions, and sleep. This episode is for curious listeners—whether you’re skeptical, spiritual, or somewhere in between—who want practical ways to feel steadier from the inside out. Herman shares how his work began, why he believes distance doesn’t block healing, and what “inner balance” looks like as a daily practice of breath, awareness, and strengthening your personal energetic boundaries. About the Guest: Herman Petrick is an energy healer and spiritual guide who has worked for over a decade with clients across multiple countries. He focuses on what he calls energy clearing and helping people reconnect to their authentic self through inner balance practices. Episode Chapters: 10:54 – Why we chase balance, but still feel unsettled 13:39 – Energy clearing, skepticism, and “unseen” influences 14:49 – Herman’s origin story: discovering this work in his 40s 18:28 – Early results: sleep, nightmares, and remote support 25:25 – How remote energy work works (and the prayer analogy) 31:14 – Risks, bad actors, and why he avoids personal data/photos 34:01 – Protection: breath, lifestyle, aura strength, and the “car wash” analogy Key Takeaways: Treat inner balance as a daily practice: quiet, breath, and less mental noise. If you feel “off,” observe patterns first—sleep, emotions, and recurring thought loops. Be cautious with practitioners who demand extensive personal details or photos. Build consistency: movement, food choices, and rest support emotional steadiness. Strengthen boundaries by rebuilding inner stability before focusing on “protection.” Stay curious: different approaches can coexist—choose what genuinely helps. How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://hermanpetrick.com/ (email via contact page) Herman also offers a free 15-minute consultation for listeners who mention the podcast.

What if “sparkle” isn’t a trend—but a missing ingredient in real well-being? In this episode, we explore how awe, beauty, and meaningful connection can restore a sense of aliveness, especially after burnout, grief, or disconnection. Hosted by Sana on The Mindful Journey podcast, this conversation is for anyone tired of wellness advice that feels mechanical. Guest Hayley Hunter Hines shares how her decades in corporate wellness led her to create the Sparkle Framework—an evolution of holistic health that includes wonder, nervous-system regulation, and the courage to live your own calling. About the Guest: Hayley Hunter Hines is a wellness futurist and founder of Soul Sparkle Living. She spent over three decades in holistic health and corporate wellness and created the Sparkle Framework to expand how we define well-being. Key Takeaways: Well-being expanded over time: body → mind → social connection → spiritual practice → “sparkle.” Prioritize healthy connection—proximity and relationships help regulate the nervous system. Notice what reliably shifts your state: nature, stillness, prayer, meditation, or water. Use simple self-inquiry: “Am I where I need to be right now?” “What’s the next step?” Follow “breadcrumbs” instead of needing a full 6–12 month plan.

In this deeply grounding and expansive conversation on The Mindful Journey, we explore what intuition really looks like beyond clichés like “trust your gut.” Host Sana sits down with Michele Lundstrom to unpack intuition as a lived, embodied experience—one that shows up through nature, the nervous system, and subtle everyday moments. From regulating energy after near-miss encounters to distinguishing intuition from fear or habit, this episode brings intuition down from the mystical clouds and into daily life. Michele also shares how a life-altering lightning strike in 2019 amplified her intuitive and energetic abilities, reshaping her healing work and connection to the natural world. This episode invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and build a personal, grounded relationship with intuition—without needing to believe in anything blindly. About the Guest: Michele Lundstrom is a former mental health therapist, healer, and intuitive practitioner trained across multiple modalities including shamanic practices, chakra work, and intuitive arts.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Sharon Ann Rose to explore what burnout really signals when life still looks “fine” from the outside. They unpack why burnout can be a loss of inner fire, why grief can come from outgrowing an identity, and how transitions can be sacred thresholds instead of problems to fix. This conversation is for anyone feeling emotionally tired, quietly disoriented, or unsure who they are becoming, especially women navigating caregiving, career shifts, and changing roles. You will walk away with a calmer, more grounded way to approach change with patience, community, and self-respect. About the Guest: Sharon Ann Rose is a ceremonialist, author, and guide who supports women through burnout, grief, and life transitions. She is the author of Faces of the Mother and draws on feminine wisdom traditions, archetypal psychology, and ritual. Key Takeaways: Treat burnout as a signal to return to what truly warms and fuels you, not a personal failure Steady your “inner fire” so you can give fully without running on stress and adrenaline Name the grief of outgrowing roles, identities, or relationships, even without a single clear event Honor the season you are leaving so you can step into the next one with less fear and resentment Move at a nature-paced rhythm: slow, regulated, and compassionate, especially when emotions are raw Healing works better with support and community, not isolation How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.sharonannrose.com/  Social: Sharon Ann Rose (multiple platforms) YouTube: Sharon Ann Rose Book: Faces of the Mother (relaunching February 2026; available on Amazon and other book retailers) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/The Mindful Journey?

Most people treat consciousness as an abstract idea. In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Yusuf sits down with Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. to explore consciousness as a lived experience shaped by burnout, health challenges, and recovery. You will hear why “knowing” is not the same as “experiencing,” and how awareness can expand through intentional practice. This conversation is for anyone feeling disconnected, questioning identity, or trying to lead and live with more clarity in a demanding world. Dr. Locust shares how fasting, meditation, and mind body spirit integration can unlock deeper fields of awareness and a more grounded sense of meaning. About the Guest: Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. is the founder of ConsiRise. He has worked as a graduate professor, researcher, and former vice president of inclusive excellence, and he blends academic thinking with lived spiritual exploration. Key Takeaways: Consciousness is often oversimplified because most people never learn it experientially Mind, body, and spirit work as one system, growth in one area alone creates blind spots Practices like meditation can expand “fields of awareness,” not just calm the mind A long fast can reveal how intention and willpower shape the body and perception Connection to nature can become a real-time anchor when energy drops or doubt rises Try a grounding visualization: connect your spine to the Earth, release heavy emotions, receive steadier energy How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.conscirise.com/ LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTube Learn more about ConsciRise and join the community for conscious seekers and practitioners.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with holistic wellness coach and author Kerisma Vere to reframe gratitude into something deeper and more realistic: self-gratitude. Instead of forcing positivity, this conversation explores how self-gratitude can become a grounded way to build self-trust, self-attunement, and emotional steadiness. This episode is for anyone feeling anxious, burnt out, or stuck in self-criticism, especially when traditional “just be grateful” advice feels dismissive. You will learn how to practice self-gratitude without turning it into another task, and how to stay compassionate without bypassing real pain. About the Guest: Kerisma Vere is a holistic wellness coach and author who supports people through complex, real-life change using a trauma-informed, non-prescriptive approach. She also created a self-gratitude journal and is launching a course called From Pressure to Path. Key Takeaways: Self-gratitude is honest recognition, not forced positivity or “good vibes only.” Notice your inner critic first, then create a small pause to choose a kinder response. Regulation works better when you meet yourself where you are, not who you “should” be. Sustainable change comes from support and compassion, not pressure, shame, or perfectionism. Gratitude can feel unsafe in grief or depression; start with validation, then offer gentle perspective. Use quick prompts or bullet notes to retrain your brain to see your effort, not only your flaws.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Scarlett Seebach to explore energy work in a grounded, real-life way, covering Reiki, human design, crystals, and Scarlett’s approach to Astral Reiki. This conversation is for anyone who feels curious but skeptical, and wants to know where intuition ends and personal responsibility begins. You will hear how energy tools can support clarity, boundaries, and decision-making without becoming an excuse, a label, or an escape from reality. If you want a practical way to explore these modalities without forcing belief, this episode will help. About the Guest: Scarlett Seebach is a human design reader, Reiki master, certified crystal healer, and the creator of Astral Reiki. She focuses on energetic transformation that translates into choices, boundaries, and daily behavior. Key Takeaways: Use energy tools to build clarity and self-awareness, not to “fix” yourself. Think of Reiki as energy replenishment that can improve perspective and boundaries. Treat human design as a tool for optimal functioning, not a personality label or limitation. Choose the modality that genuinely fits you, crystals are optional and skepticism is fair. Prioritize validation and real outcomes when working with invisible or subtle practices.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with author, artist, educator, and storyteller Lorie Kleiner Eckert to explore her newest book Chai on Life (also known as High on Life). Together, they unpack why real life learning can feel messy, how small moments carry big lessons, and why the “joy in the journey” is more than just a phrase. This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from gratitude. You will hear practical ways to rebuild momentum on hard days, how to find and keep friendships across life stages, and why journaling can help you process problems, grow resilience, and rediscover the meaning already present in your day to day life. About the Guest: Lorie Kleiner Eckert is an author, artist, educator, and storyteller who writes short, slice of life stories designed to help readers notice meaning in everyday experiences. She shares her work through books, blog posts, and visual art, including quilt artwork. Key Takeaways: Use a simple gratitude scan: list small wins from the day to retrain your attention toward what is working. On dark days, follow a two-step reset: keep a healthy routine, then take one meaningful step forward. Create an accountability log: write the date and the one step you took daily to build momentum. Friendship is findable at any stage: reconnect with early friends, look within extended family, and join groups aligned with your life. If happiness feels out of reach, treat it as both an addition and subtraction problem: add what helps, remove what harms. Use journaling to solve problems: write it out, track what worked, and build a repeatable blueprint.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey Podcast, host Sana sits down with Nic Scogna to unpack what “being triggered” really means and why it often has less to do with the present moment and more to do with your emotional history. Nic shares insights from the Self-Awareness Formula (SAF), a system developed by his parents, focused on mapping how past experiences shape today’s automatic reactions. This episode is for anyone who feels emotionally reactive, drained by old patterns, or stuck in loops they cannot explain. You’ll learn a practical way to spot triggers sooner, reduce their intensity, and build a realistic reset plan you can actually follow even after motivation fades. About the Guest: Nic Scogna grew up immersed in the Self-Awareness Formula (SAF), created by his parents Joseph and Kathy Scogna. He now helps translate decades of manuscripts and research into practical tools for modern self-awareness and stress pattern understanding. Key Takeaways: A trigger is an automatic response tied to older memories, not just what happened today “Personal proof” matters, but broad acceptance requires stronger evidence and clarity Unresolved trauma can quietly consume energy that could be used in the present Use awareness to shift from reacting automatically to choosing your response Try a weekly 15-minute self-investigation habit to trace what your trigger is pointing to Focus on observing yourself, not fixing yourself, to build trust and consistency How to Connect With the Guest: https://lifeenergypublications.com/  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/The Mindful Journey?

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with longevity specialist and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Alejandra Garcia to explore a grounded idea: your body responds to the signals you send daily, thoughts, stress, sleep, food, and connection. This conversation is for anyone (especially women) who feels “I’m doing everything right, but I still feel off.” You’ll hear why women need a different longevity playbook, how identity beats willpower, and what to track or ask for without spiraling into health anxiety. About the Guest: Alejandra Garcia is a longevity specialist and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner based in Southern California. Her work is female-centric and mindset-led, shaped by her own early menopause experience and burnout recovery. Key Takeaways: Treat stress signals like data, not personal failure Shift identity from “trying” to “I am a health optimizer” Support sleep as your daily “cell cleanup” window Add parasympathetic habits: nose-breathing workouts, breathwork, nature walks Prioritize community with a recurring plan (like a quarterly dinner) Track measurable markers like REM sleep, VO2 max, and inflammation labs How to Connect With the Guest: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/solgarcia.health/  Website: https://www.solgarciahealth.com/  (book a complimentary curiosity call) Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/The Mindful Journey?
