On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Michael Waters explores death as a transition—not a finish. If you’re grieving, curious, or quietly afraid of the unknown, this episode offers a steadier lens.
Michael shares how dreams, shamanic journeying, and “psychopomp” work shaped his understanding of what may happen after we die. You’ll hear why some souls may feel “stuck,” how guilt and attachment can keep us tethered, and how a grounded spirituality can soften fear—so we live with more presence while we’re here.
About the Guest:
Michael Waters shares lived experience in psychopomp work, animism, and shamanic practice. He and his late wife, Kathy, documented their experiences in a book titled The Bridge to Light and Love, which he offers for free.

-
00:18:16 — Why some spirits don’t cross: guilt, fear, and unfinished attachment
-

Key Takeaways:
-
Hold death with curiosity, not certainty—and notice how that changes your fear.
-
If grief feels heavy, ask: is it guilt, attachment, or love looking for a new form?
-
Pay attention to dreams as a gentle place where meaning can surface.

What if real leadership starts the moment you stop performing strength? In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, Jenny C. Cohen unpacks what it actually means to “lead from wholeness”—beyond the trendy phrases.
This episode is for high-achievers who look fine on paper but feel stretched, tired, or quietly disconnected inside. You’ll hear grounded ways to come back to your body, spot subtle fragmentation, and begin leading with clarity, boundaries, and self-trust—without needing a full life overhaul.
About the Guest:
Jenny C. Cohen is a board-certified integrative neurosomatic practitioner and embodiment expert. She supports high-achieving women in quieting the inner critic and showing up with a more rooted, authentic presence. She also shares from lived experience as a breast cancer survivor and mother of fraternal twins.

00:12:20 — A health wake-up call and the cost of self-abandonment
-
00:14:34 — Consciousness, interoception, and listening to the body’s signals

-
00:23:17 — Start here: 5 senses + breath, subconscious journaling, body-based yes/no

-
Ground fast: widen peripheral vision + track 5 senses + breathe for 60 seconds.
