Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this profound episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by somatic therapist and trauma guide Julian Bermudez for a deep, grounded conversation on healing trauma, reclaiming authenticity, and understanding emotional survival patterns. Together, they unpack what trauma really means—not as a clinical label, but as a disconnection from the self—and how real healing begins by turning inward, not by reinventing.

Julian shares insights on how suppressed emotions manifest in daily behaviors, how societal rewards reinforce trauma patterns, and why healing is not about becoming someone new—but returning to who you've always been beneath the pain. A must-listen for anyone seeking emotional clarity, post-traumatic growth, and embodied wholeness.

About the Guest
Julian Bermudez is a therapist and emotional healing guide specializing in somatic awareness, post-psychedelic integration, and trauma recovery. He offers deep support for those ready to stop performing, soften survival strategies, and return to a state of connection, presence, and authenticity.

Key Takeaways

• Trauma isn’t just what happened—it’s what happens inside us when we don’t have the support to process it.

• Suppressing emotions and becoming overly agreeable are common survival patterns that often begin in childhood.

• Healing is not about fixing—it’s about remembering and returning to the self we abandoned to survive.

• Authenticity isn’t found, it’s uncovered by listening to the pain in our body and tending to the unmet needs underneath it.

• Real recovery begins with curiosity: “What is this feeling trying to teach me?”

• Disconnection is not a flaw—it’s an intelligent adaptation to trauma. But we can choose to reconnect.

• Facing what scares us within often reveals an inner child needing care, not punishment.

• Healing doesn’t require radical reinvention. It starts with compassion, presence, and slowing down.

In this empowering episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we dive into the psychology of success with bestselling sci-fi author Jenny Ahmed. This conversation isn't just about writing or fiction—it's about mastering your mindset, aligning with your personality, and unlocking the real secret to goal-setting: self-awareness. Jenny shares how her understanding of her unique wiring has allowed her to write multiple novels at once, overcome procrastination, and stay motivated.

Together, we discuss the difference between blind positivity and empowered thinking, how optimism can be built like a muscle, and why hope is a practical tool—not a fluffy ideal. If you’ve ever hit a roadblock and questioned your potential, this episode will offer real-world tools to reframe failure, build esteem, and find resilience—especially when you're at your lowest.

Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or just trying to get unstuck, this is a conversation that bridges neuroscience, personality, and practical positivity to move you forward.

• Surround yourself with uplifting energy: Be mindful of the people and energy you

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, co-host Sana speaks with internationally renowned keynote speaker and author Fredrik Haren—also known as The Creativity Explorer. With insights gathered from delivering over 2,000 talks in 75+ countries, Fredrik discusses how creativity is more than just a tool—it's what makes us truly human. From redefining failure to embracing "idea naps," this conversation will reshape the way you view creative potential.

If you're seeking inspiration to break free from routine, embrace your originality, and live more creatively—this episode is for you.

 

About the Guest
Fredrik Haren is a global keynote speaker, author of The Idea Book, and the upcoming The World of Creativity. Known as The Creativity Explorer, Fredrik has traveled to over 75 countries to study how creativity expresses itself across cultures. He lives on a private island in Sweden and helps people unlock their innate creative power through engaging talks and thought leadership.

 

Key Takeaways :

• Creativity is not just a skill—it’s what makes us human. Fredrik shares that being authentically you will naturally result in unconventional expression, making creativity a path to self-actualization.

• Cultures may value structure differently, but creativity exists everywhere. Fredrik breaks the myth that tradition inhibits innovation by highlighting examples like Swiss watchmakers redefining perfection.

• Resourcefulness is creativity in action. Fredrik self-funded a book by securing pre-orders before writing a single word—proof that ideas matter more than money.

• Failure isn't failure for creative minds—it’s feedback. Real-world stories, like a Catalan glass artist's breakthrough after frustration, show how emotional turning points can fuel innovation.

• Let go of “creative anxiety.” Inspired by a Thai origami artist’s practice of “idea naps,” Fredrik encourages embracing sabai sabai—taking creative blocks lightly and trusting the process.

In this bold and deeply reflective episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with New York-based attorney and writer Gargi Sen, founder of Unsquashable Girl. Together, they uncover the invisible yet painful layers of familial gaslighting, cultural conditioning in South Asian households, toxic workplaces, and the lifelong impact of childhood emotional abuse.

Gargi shares how she overcame these cycles—choosing courage, setting boundaries, and embracing healing with the unexpected support of her dog, Mr. Dempsey. Learn about her viral 3-Column Method to assess emotional safety in relationships and why it's okay to disappoint your family in order to honor yourself. This conversation is a roadmap for anyone ready to stop abandoning themselves and start living free.

 

About the Guest:
Gargi Sen is a New York-based attorney, author, and the founder of Unsquashable Girl—a global movement supporting women to break free from toxic relationships, cultural oppression, and generational dysfunction. Her story of resilience includes escaping an abusive upbringing, breaking cultural taboos, and rebuilding self-worth with the help of her dog, Mr. Dempsey.

 

Key Takeaways :

• Healing begins when you stop seeking approval and start honoring your inner voice.

• Cultural conditioning in South Asian families often normalizes emotional abuse. Gargi’s story powerfully challenges this status quo.

• Her 3-Column Method—positive, neutral, and negative energy mapping—is a practical and transformative way to assess all relationships (family, friends, workplace).

• It is okay to disappoint your family if it means preserving your peace and dignity.

• Animals, like Mr. Dempsey, can be our emotional guides—offering us unconditional love and mirroring what safe connection feels like.

• Toxic leadership in the workplace often reflects unresolved personal trauma; self-awareness is essential to walk away from dysfunction.

• The phrase “love shouldn’t hurt” is central to Gargi’s philosophy. If a relationship repeatedly drains or devalues you—it is not love.

• Estrangement from family can be an act of self-love and emotional survival, especially when safety is at risk.
