Ambition can look like progress on the outside, while quietly draining you on the inside. This episode explores what happens when you keep achieving, but your mental health starts paying the price.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan speaks with Sheekha Singh about burnout, identity, and the invisible expectations that drive high performers—especially from an immigrant lens. If you’re juggling roles, saying yes too often, and struggling to protect your energy, you’ll leave with practical shifts to pursue goals without losing yourself.

About the Guest:

Sheekha Singh is an award-winning author, tech leader, and host of the podcast Rise and Tell with Sheekha. She wrote Unburnable Ambition to reframe hustle culture and help high achievers pursue success sustainably.

Key Takeaways:

• Audit what your ambition is costing your mental health and relationships

• Redefine “success” for yourself—not family, teachers, or culture

• Use a simple “no” script that’s firm, kind, and consistent

• Compare “value vs. drain” before accepting new commitments

• Schedule 5–15 minutes daily to do nothing—no screens, no input

• Start boundary-setting with family first, then expand outward

What if your next income stream is hiding in plain sight—inside what you’ve already lived, learned, and survived?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Bart Merrell to unpack “monetizing mindset”—turning everyday skills and life experiences into practical financial stability. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure they’re “qualified” to earn from what they know, and wants a clearer, calmer relationship with money.

About the Guest:

Bart Merrell is an international entrepreneur, author, and creator of Monetize Your Mindset. He shares how pivoting after a derailed FBI path led him into global ventures—and how he later built income by helping others through challenges he personally faced.

Key Takeaways:

• Use 3 lists: what you like, need, and are already doing—then ask, “How could I monetize this?”

• Start with “low-hanging fruit”: skills and experiences you’re closest to (and often overlook).

• Momentum beats fear: take one small step, then let success compound.

• Funnel ideas by speed-to-income and enjoyment—then choose what’s worth the trade-off.

• You don’t need to be famous—someone “one level behind” can benefit from your knowledge.

When a relationship breaks, the toughest part isn’t logistics—it’s the moment you realize you don’t recognize yourself anymore. This episode is about rebuilding from that disorienting place and finding solid ground again.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Ralph Brewer of Help For Men and Dad Starting Over to unpack what men feel after divorce or in an unhappy marriage: fear, abandonment, and identity loss. They explore why many men “outsource” identity, how childhood patterns shape adult relationships, and how community, therapy, and honest self-reflection help men rebuild—without shame.

About the Guest:

Ralph Brewer is the voice behind Help For Men and the Dad Starting Over podcast. He supports men navigating divorce, heartbreak, and relationship struggles, with a focus on rebuilding identity and stability.

Key Takeaways:

• Notice when your identity is tied to roles (husband, job title) instead of values and purpose.

• Treat “rock bottom” as information: it often reveals deeper relationship patterns to address.

• Trace people-pleasing and validation-seeking back to early family dynamics and relearn healthier patterns.

• If you’re anxiously attached, practice giving space and building emotional self-regulation.

• Don’t rebuild alone: find a men’s community, mentorship, or therapy for reality checks and support.

How to Connect With the Guest:

• Help For Men - direct link to the sign-up page for Ralph's HFM Brotherhood - the private support community for men. We offer very active private forums, frequent live zoom meetings, courses, coaching, and over 1,300 hours of audio content for our members.
