In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into the profound theme of self-reclamation and inner happiness with bestselling author, podcast host, and transformational coach Irina Shehovsov. From overcoming trauma and emotional wounds to cultivating joy from within, Irina offers grounded insights and practical habits for anyone feeling stuck, unworthy, or lost. This conversation is not about chasing external validation—it's about coming home to yourself.
About the Guest:
Irina Shehovsov is the founder of Reclaim Your Life, a speaker, and the host of two podcasts: Single Parent Success Stories and Reclaim Your Life. She’s also the #1 international bestselling author of The Gift Inside. Irina helps women over 40 release toxic patterns, rediscover their identity, and rebuild a life of joy, worth, and peace. Through mindset, holistic healing, and spiritual tools like timeline therapy and NLP, she empowers others to believe healing is possible at any stage.
Key Takeaways:
-
Self-reclamation starts with personal responsibility. You may not be at fault for past trauma, but healing begins when you own your present.
-
Happiness is cultivated, not found. Daily practices like meditation, gratitude, forgiveness, and mindful presence create the foundation for joy.
-
Healing isn’t passive. Time helps only when combined with intentional action and the right environment.
-
You are worthy now. Many emotional wounds stem from a sense of unworthiness—Irina’s work helps rewrite that belief.
-
Forgiveness is for you, not them. It frees you to live in the present, no longer chained to past pain.
-
Surroundings matter. Healing is amplified by positive people, conscious media, and nourishing routines.

In this thought-provoking episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we speak with Aaron Scott —author, ex-Wall Street hedge fund founder, and host of The Evolved Podcast. Together, we unpack how the modern world subtly programs us through systems like education, government, medicine, and media—and how to awaken within them without abandoning ourselves. Aaron shares the core framework from his upcoming book The Architecture of Awakening, revealing how aligning with your true self—rather than resisting the system—is the key to reclaiming autonomy and inner peace. We explore practical strategies to integrate spiritual truth, reframe failure, and recognize our interconnectedness in a world of illusions.
About the Guest:
Aaron Scott is a modern-day deconstructivist with a background on Wall Street and a heart centered on truth. He went from founding a hedge fund to leading an alternative therapeutics company. Now, his mission is to help people awaken to their true nature amidst societal programming. His upcoming book The Architecture of Awakening and The Evolved Podcast are powerful resources for navigating identity, consciousness, and collective evolution.
Key Takeaways:
-
Most modern systems shape our identities unconsciously; awakening starts with awareness.
-
Real power comes not from rebelling but from integrating spiritual truth into daily life.
-
Reframing failure as growth is essential to breaking free from indoctrination.
-
We are not separate from others or the planet—diversity and connection are universal truths.
-
Living in alignment with your natural flow allows the world to unfold in support of you.

In this episode of Healthy Waves, we dive into how the words we use—and the stories we tell ourselves—can silently wreck our health. Host Avik sits down with Stacey and Justin, the powerhouse duo behind Fortify Health Coaching, to explore how language shapes physiology, why high-performing women often live in unrecognized survival mode, and how changing just one word can shift your nervous system from chaos to calm. From the concept of the “stress bucket” to a practical “Should Detox” word game, this conversation offers deep insight and real tools to help listeners reclaim mental, hormonal, and physical balance—without adding more to their to-do list.
About the Guests:
Stacey and Justin are the founders of Fortify Health Coaching, specializing in guiding high-performing women through stress regulation, hormone balance, and mindset transformation. With a blend of neuroscience, functional health, and language awareness, they offer tools that are actionable and sustainable—not fluffy.
Key Takeaways:
-
Mindset = the story you tell yourself, and words are its building blocks.
-
Negations like “don’t” and “should” trigger the brain’s stress response.
-
“Survival mode” can feel like normal—until the body crashes.
-
Real transformation often starts by doing less, not more.
-
The nervous system is the link between thought and physiology.
-
The “Should Detox” exercise shifts internal pressure into empowering action.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Russell Van Brocklen—educator, dyslexia advocate, and founder of DyslexiaClasses.com—about a radical new way to teach struggling readers. Forget rigid phonics drills. Russell introduces the "Speciality First Dyslexia Blueprint," a method rooted in a learner’s deepest passion, using tools like comic books or even baseball stats to transform reading outcomes. The conversation blends neuroscience, personal story, and practical strategy to show how dyslexic learners can thrive academically and emotionally by starting where they shine.
About the Guest:
Russell Van Brocklen, also known as The Dyslexia Professor, is an author, educator, and the founder of DyslexiaClasses.com. A dyslexic learner himself, he built a system that takes students from failure to fluency—without relying on outdated approaches. His evidence-based method is now used to train educators and empower students across the U.S.
Key Takeaways:
-
Traditional reading interventions miss the mark for many dyslexic learners.
-
Russell’s “Speciality First” model starts with a learner’s obsession to build motivation and engagement.
-
Brain scans show dyslexics use different neural pathways; tapping into strengths leads to faster literacy gains.
-
Specific-to-general thinking works better than general-to-specific for dyslexic minds.
-
Real progress starts with personalized content, structured sentence building, and high-frequency repetition.
-
AI should be introduced only after foundational skills are in place.
