Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, Erica Ballard—a spiritual teacher, mindfulness facilitator, and former public health expert—unpacks the complex, emotional journey of trusting your intuition even when it feels completely irrational. From being fired on maternity leave to breaking away from an identity built on achievement, Erica shares what it really takes to shift from logic to soul. We dive into the moments when intuition whispers, why high achievers struggle with surrender, and how slowing down can actually open doors to deeper self-awareness and joy.

About the Guest:
Erica Ballard is a former public health professional turned intuitive mentor. Holding a master’s from Tufts University School of Medicine and certifications in Reiki, NLP, and health coaching, Erica helps high-achieving women reconnect with their inner guidance. Featured in Forbes and Women’s Health, her work centers around realignment, spiritual awareness, and living from truth—not titles.

Key Takeaways:

• Intuition isn’t a spiritual cliché; it often starts with small nudges and preference-based decisions.

• High achievers resist intuition due to fear and identity attachment.

• Slowing down is crucial—it’s an act of subtracting what no longer serves you.

• Following your intuition can unravel old patterns and open up unimaginable joy and truth.

• Real transformation begins when you sit with fear rather than avoid it.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik is joined by Dana Pemberton and Colleen Robinson from The Digital Dojo. They unravel how martial arts wisdom and trauma-informed tools like the New Agreement Process (NAP) can help us break free from anxiety loops, shift from busy effort to meaningful action, and cultivate emotional mastery. From redefining discipline as self-love to addressing burnout through somatic release, the conversation blends ancient philosophy with modern neuroscience. It’s a conversation about building courage, embracing inspired action, and finding clarity in chaos.

About the Guests:
Dana Pemberton and Colleen Robinson are co-founders of The Digital Dojo, where they fuse martial arts philosophy with emotional healing and trauma recovery. Dana is the creator of the Black Belt Mind, drawing on over 50 years of martial arts practice to teach embodied resilience and mental strength. Colleen, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, created the New Agreement Process (NAP)—a guided method for rewiring trauma and releasing emotional pain stored in the body. Together, they help people cultivate presence, connection, and authentic choice.

Key Takeaways:

• Good decisions come from alignment with self-worth, not the pursuit of external validation or self-esteem.

• Inspired discipline is a form of self-respect—choosing values-aligned actions today to honor your future self.

• Many people confuse effort with progress. True transformation requires intentional, clear action, not just busyness.

• Burnout often results from unresolved stress stuck in the body. Movement, expression, and acknowledgment are essential for release.

• The New Agreement Process (NAP) helps individuals reframe past trauma and anxiety through subconscious rewiring—no deep analysis needed, just guided truth.

• Communication is the foundation of healthy relationships, and “a conflict delayed is a conflict multiplied.”

• Laughter, transparency, and consistent practice are the pillars of harmony and inner alignment.
