What if better mental health didn’t start with a strict routine—but with fresh air, quiet focus, and one clean swing? On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore how golf can become a simple, grounding wellness practice.
This episode is for anyone feeling distracted, stressed, or disconnected—and for curious non-golfers who want a gentler path back to presence. Guest Bob Labbe shares how golf trains focus, patience, emotional control, and integrity—skills that travel far beyond the course.
About the Guest:
Bob Labbe is an inventor and engineer who applies a problem-solving mindset to golf and wellness. He’s played over 3,000 rounds across 27 years and created a quantitative lag-putting method shared in his book Putting by the Numbers.

Grief doesn’t follow a neat timeline—and it doesn’t ask for your permission before it changes you. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, author and grief advocate Kirsten O’Connor shares what life really looks like after sudden loss, and why “closure” is often the wrong goal.
This episode is for anyone grieving—or supporting someone who is. You’ll hear a grounded, honest view of grief as love, why silence can hurt more than saying the wrong thing, and how joy and sorrow can exist in the same breath.
About the Guest:
Kirsten O’Connor is the author of The Year After Kahlia and the founder of This Is Grief. She writes and speaks candidly about grief after the death of her 24-year-old daughter, Kahlia.
