Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, theatre maker and arts advocate Jessie Fahay unpacks what fulfillment really means when the applause ends—and how to stop confusing recognition with inner wholeness.

This episode is for anyone who looks “successful” on paper but feels disconnected inside—creatives, leaders, parents, and everyday professionals. Jessie shares a practical way to shift from scarcity, comparison, and performative living toward meaning, contribution, and a steadier inner life.

Episode Chapter:

1. 00:08:39 – The quiet question behind fulfillment when the noise fades

2. 00:10:25 – “Fulfilled” as full + filled: connection, contribution, love

3. 00:12:09 – The visibility trap: recognition vs. real fulfillment

4. 00:17:24 – When “having it all” still hurts: the spiral of disconnection

5. 00:20:13 – Orienting life toward community (without self-neglect)

6. 00:24:10 – The “context” practice: same life, different meaning

7. 00:31:13 – Keep sharing your vision: how Jessie built Ripple Effect Artists

Key Takeaways:

• Redefine fulfillment as connection + contribution, not applause or metrics.

• Notice when you’re chasing visibility and gently return to what matters.

• Create a daily context statement for your work: “This is what I’m here for today.”

• Reframe your role: the same task can feel empty or meaningful depending on context.

• Share your vision often—unexpected people can become allies and connectors.
