Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

If you keep second-guessing yourself, it may not be confusion—it may be a habit of outsourcing your inner knowing. This conversation helps you hear the difference between fear-driven noise and true inner guidance.

This episode is for anyone stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, or decision paralysis. Toni LaMotta shares practical ways to build self-trust, reframe “wrong decisions” as feedback, and use body-based awareness to move from fear into clarity and alignment.

About the Guest:

Toni LaMotta spent 60 years in religious life and has trained in six evidence-based methodologies over two decades. She helps people shift from external validation to deep self-trust through guidance, journaling, and somatic practices.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn to spot the “barking dog” voice (fast, fear-based) vs. inner guidance (quiet, steady, body-knowing).

• Treat “wrong choices” as information—make a decision, learn, and adjust instead of freezing in anxiety.

• Reduce over-reliance on pros/cons lists and constant opinion-seeking to strengthen self-trust.

• Try the Fear-to-Faith somatic reset: name the fear, name the coping need, choose a higher-quality replacement.

• Practice presence by listening to your breath and body sensations to access clearer guidance.

• Make the process light and consistent—small daily practice builds reliable inner clarity.

In this deeply reflective episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan welcomes Tracy Smith, author of The Purpose Was in Getting Lost. Tracy opens up about her journey from feeling disconnected and directionless to finding self-belonging and purpose through vulnerability, travel, and self-trust. She shares how the quiet ache of being “lost” became the very invitation to rediscover her authentic self — not through reinvention, but by saying yes to herself for the first time.

About the Guest:
Tracy Smith is a writer, traveler, and mother based in Washington, D.C. Her memoir explores how losing herself — both literally and emotionally — led to powerful transformation. Through stories of courage, midlife exploration, and self-compassion, Tracy helps others see “lost” not as failure, but as freedom.

Key Takeaways:

• Getting lost can be the path back to yourself.

• Reinvention isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about reclaiming who you’ve always been.

• Saying yes to yourself, even in small ways, is radical self-love.

• Travel and solitude can be powerful mirrors for inner healing.

Most productivity advice assumes consistency is key—but what if your body tells a different story? In this enlightening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Renae Fieck, a feminine leadership coach, mom of three, and author of Cycle Sync Your Business. Renae shares her transformational journey from burnout to balance, revealing how syncing work, creativity, and energy with the menstrual cycle can revolutionize the way women approach time management. Together, they unpack the misconceptions around “consistency,” explore the hormonal rhythms that shape women’s productivity, and highlight how working with your body instead of against it creates flow, clarity, and sustainable success.

About the Guest:
Renae Fieck is a speaker, coach, and author specializing in helping women align their lives and businesses with their body’s natural rhythms. Through her book Cycle Sync Your Business and coaching programs, she empowers women to ditch burnout, rediscover ease, and embrace feminine flow in leadership and life.

Key Takeaways:

• True productivity comes from honoring your body’s hormonal rhythm.

• Consistency looks different for women—it’s cyclical, not linear.

• Stress and overexertion disrupt hormonal balance, leading to burnout.

• Asking “What does my body need today?” fosters mindfulness and balance.

In this deeply human and grounding conversation, guest host Sana sits down with Ryan Reichert to explore the concept of Protector Development—the inner armor we build to survive pain, trauma, and relentless life challenges. From childhood adversity and military service to addiction recovery, divorce, and rebuilding life from the ground up, Ryan shares how survival mode shapes our identity and how healing begins when we allow ourselves to ask for help. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in a valley, questioning their past decisions, their worth, or their future. Ryan reminds us that progress doesn’t come from massive leaps, but from small, intentional steps—just 1% better each day. A powerful reminder that strength is not about never breaking, but about learning how to bend, heal, and rediscover purpose.

About the Guest:
Ryan Reichert is a U.S. Army veteran with 23 years of service, a recovering alcoholic, author, speaker, and founder of Our Protector Development. Through his books, coaching, and courses, Ryan helps individuals turn pain into purpose, survival into service, and brokenness into growth.

Key Takeaways:
– Protector behaviors are formed in survival and need compassion, not judgment
– Healing begins when we give ourselves permission to ask for help
– One small step a day can change everything
– Routines build stability when life feels chaotic
– You are not broken—you are becoming
