Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Avik Chakraborty, we explore a simple but powerful question: what if your life isn’t something you wait to improve—but something you actively write, one page at a time?

This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck, burned out, or quietly living on autopilot. Kat Anselmo shares how “inner success” can look like daily check-ins, small habits that compound, and even symbolic shifts—like choosing a new name—to step into a renewed identity with more clarity, courage, and self-trust.

About the Guest:

Kat Anselmo is a yoga teacher and health coach based in Barcelona, Spain. She shares how yoga, meditation, and mindset practices supported her through major life changes, including creating a one-year personal contract to rebuild from the inside out.

Episode Chapter:

1. 00:10:50 — Opening: If your life is a book, are you writing it consciously?

2. 00:13:13 — “Your book of inner success”: clarity, values, and direction

3. 00:16:08 — When life breaks open: loss, change, and starting from zero

4. 00:19:32 — The “baby steps” formula: movement, meditation, affirmations

5. 00:20:02 — The one-year contract: commitment vs. casual goals

6. 00:23:46 — Check-ins without burnout: the Wheel of Life reflection

7. 00:28:01 — New identity, new name: why symbols can unlock real change

Key Takeaways:

• Create a “Book of Inner Success”: write your goals, values, affirmations, and the person you’re becoming.

• Start tiny: 10 minutes of movement, 3 minutes of meditation, 1 minute of affirmations.

• Make a personal “contract” with yourself—commit to what you can truly sustain.

• Use self-check-ins when you feel emotionally off, tired, or overwhelmed—pause before burnout.

• If a practice isn’t working, don’t force it—try again later or find what fits your season.

• Identity shifts can be symbolic and practical: language, self-talk, and even a new name can anchor change.

What if thinking about death earlier didn’t make you fearful—but made you freer? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, executive coach Seth Clark explores how mortality awareness can bring more clarity, courage, and alignment into everyday decisions.

This episode is for leaders, builders, and anyone feeling stuck in busy, reactive living. Seth unpacks why avoidance gives death more power, how modern culture keeps us distracted, and how “mini-deaths” like role changes can reshape priorities—so you lead with a longer-term view, not just the next quarter.

About the Guest:

Seth Clark is an executive coach, ordained Christian minister, and doctoral scholar studying meaning-making in the face of mortality. His work helps people use mortality awareness to live and lead with deeper purpose.

Episode Chapter:

1. 00:04:56 – Setting the topic: mortality awareness and purpose

2. 00:07:33 – Why “befriending death” can bring more life

3. 00:09:29 – The first time Seth witnessed someone die

4. 00:10:34 – Avoidance gives death authority over us

5. 00:12:41 – The “relationship” analogy: facing what’s real

6. 00:15:08 – Doomscrolling, validation, and staying numb

7. 00:17:23 – Leadership timelines, mini-deaths, and long-term thinking

Key Takeaways:

• Notice what you avoid—avoidance quietly runs your choices from the background.

• Treat death-awareness as a clarity tool, not something to obsess over.

• Interrupt doomscrolling when it fuels emotion but doesn’t move you toward action.

• Ask: “What matters beyond this quarter/year?” to reset leadership priorities.

• Prepare for “mini-deaths” (role changes, endings) with intentional transitions.

• In grief, don’t force mortality awareness—first allow the loss to be held with compassion.

What do you do when the plan you trusted stops working—and the future suddenly feels uncertain? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sana, we talk about reinvention in its most human form: not a dramatic restart, but a quiet shift back toward what fits.

This conversation is for anyone facing a career change, identity shift, burnout, or a moment where “the old way” no longer holds. Guest Serena Low shares a grounded way to move through fear, grief, and confusion—without rushing into the next plan—so you can rebuild trust, widen your options, and take one steady step at a time.

About the Guest:

Serena Low hosts The Quiet Warrior Podcast and shares insights on reinvention, uncertainty, and courage through lived experience. She speaks about leaving a long legal career and learning to trust a new path through curiosity, inner work, and action.

Episode Chapters:

1. 00:04:23 — When Plan A collapses, what’s the first emotional wave?

2. 00:08:24 — The biggest myth about “reinvention” that keeps people stuck

3. 00:10:19 — Why motivation fades and self-judgment takes over

4. 00:12:14 — The “should” voice vs. the part of you that needs rest

5. 00:16:20 — Cultural conditioning, safety, and the fear of standing out

6. 00:19:30 — The turning point: when regret becomes louder than fear

7. 00:24:10 — No Plan B? Trust + self-responsibility + small daily actions

Key Takeaways:

• Name the real emotion first (fear, grief, panic) before chasing solutions.

• Replace pressure with curiosity: widen your world before choosing your next move.

• Practice sitting with uncertainty instead of forcing instant clarity.

• Build “trust muscles” through inner work and practical action (reading, learning, conversations).

• Track small wins and kindness daily—your nervous system needs proof of safety.

• Reinvention is often only visible in hindsight; focus on the next honest step.

You can look “fine” on paper and still feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, clinical psychologist Bryan Gastelle breaks down how evidence-based psychology actually works in day-to-day life, not just inside a therapy room.

This conversation is for high-functioning adults, entrepreneurs, and neurodivergent listeners who are tired of pushing harder and want practical ways to understand their brain, spot what’s triggering them, and build emotional regulation that feels sustainable, not like another task.

About the Guest:

Bryan Gastelle is a clinical psychologist and founder of Empower Psychotherapy, a fully virtual group practice serving adults, couples, and families across multiple states. He focuses on ADHD, anxiety, burnout, and relationships.

Episode Chapters:

1. 00:05:14 — Meet Bryan: Tucson, time zones, and setting the theme

2. 00:07:39 — When success still feels like overwhelm

3. 00:09:05 — Why high achievers come to therapy: burnout vs. functioning

4. 00:11:04 — Why “push harder” fails: automatic thoughts and perfection pressure

5. 00:12:40 — ADHD patterns: big-picture strengths, execution struggles, and shame loops

6. 00:14:19 — Relationships under pressure: standards, panic, and how couples fight

7. 00:18:38 — Practical tools: vulnerability factors, triggers, boundaries, delegation

Key Takeaways:

• Separate “functioning” from “being mentally well” — they’re not the same thing.

• For anxiety, watch for automatic thoughts like perfection rules or catastrophe predictions.

• For ADHD, identify triggers like complex, multi-step demands and build supports (reminders, structure).

• Track vulnerability factors first: sleep, caffeine, diet, and stress load.

• For burnout, name the real driver and get serious about boundaries, delegation, and after-hours limits.

• Progress is practice, not perfection: look for what you’re avoiding and what it’s costing you.
