Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with indie author and resilience strategist Pam Chiaro to talk about what it actually looks like to choose yourself in real life, not just on inspirational quote cards. Pam walks us through leaving a stable career only after she was financially resourced, building a writing life as PK Stuart, and then having everything disrupted by an ovarian cancer diagnosis.

She breaks down how she navigated treatment with a mix of medical care, keto eating, movement, meditation and spiritual tools, while staying grounded, pragmatic and honest about fear. Pam also explains how she uses astrology as a planning and reflection framework, not as superstition, to set goals, review progress and keep her life aligned with her values. This is a clear, no drama conversation about resilience, health, creativity, money, and why metrics and marketing can never replace the actual work or the people you love.

About the guest:

Pam Chiaro is an indie author who writes under the name PK Stuart. After years in business management and supporting startups, she transitioned out of traditional employment to build a writing career on her own terms. A pragmatic planner and lifelong meditator, Pam blends spiritual tools like astrology with grounded decision making. She lives in the mountains of western Colorado with her husband, close to her two children and six grandchildren, and is focused on both her ongoing health journey and her growing catalogue of books.

Key takeaways :

• Strength is not loud aggression, it is quiet resilience, self trust and choosing yourself in hard seasons.

• Pam shows that quitting a traditional job is realistic only when you are financially resourced and honest about your responsibilities.

• An ovarian cancer diagnosis pushed her to re evaluate time, double down on writing and build an indie author career with intention.

• Keto eating, consistent movement, meditation and spiritual practices support her health journey, without replacing medical care or professional advice.

• Astrology functions as a planning and reflection tool for her, not a fear script, helping her set goals and review progress across life areas.

• She continually pulls herself away from vanity metrics and back to the real work, writing books and being present with her family in Colorado.
