What if mental health isn’t something to fix, but something to practice?

In this episode, I talk about how burnout, breakdowns, and labels often just symptoms of energetic misalignment. I share personal stories from my corporate past, what ADHD coaching taught me about perspective, how I reconnected with my inner artist, and the moment a Moonlight Scorpio song (“Mental Health”) helped rewire my beliefs during a psychedelic trip.

I unpack why most of us are primed for mental health struggles from childhood—because we’re taught to chase roles, not listen to our souls. I share how practicing daily rituals like breathwork, movement, and creative expression helped me shift from burnout to spiritual alignment, and why consistency is key, even when life feels “good.”

I also talk about:

• ​The root chakra and why it’s foundational to stability
• How movement can be both exercise and exorcism
• Why perspective is everything—and how most of ours is warped by Western conditioning
• The role of creativity and the inner child in mental wellness
• How I moved from calling myself a “burnout coach” to owning my path as a spiritual mentor

This episode is full of gold if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to mental health than the frameworks we’ve been given.
