Healthy Mind, Healthy Life — The New Lens Method: How Changing Your Inner Lens Changes Your Life with Tricia Rose Stone

Saturday Oct 18, 2025

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty explores how perception shapes reality with Tricia Rose Stone, an optometrist-turned-transformational coach. Drawing on her New Lens Method, Tricia shows how awareness, belief re-patterning, and daily embodiment help people move from shame and self-doubt to clarity and possibility—especially in relationships. We break down practical steps for noticing the “lens” you’re wearing, loosening old narratives, and aligning actions with what you truly deserve. Direct, grounded, and immediately usable for anyone navigating reinvention.

About the guest :

Tricia Rose Stone practiced optometry for 20 years before transitioning into coaching. Her work translates the instant clarity of the right physical lens into inner change: adjust the lens, and life looks different. She helps clients—especially women rebuilding after heartbreak—shift perception, embody new beliefs, and create aligned relationships and outcomes.

Key takeaways:

Awareness first: notice you’re “wearing a lens” largely imprinted by caregivers by age 7–8; seeing that lens creates room to change it.
Rework beliefs: identify the stories the old lens carries (shame, fear, self-doubt) and break them apart to open space for new perspectives.
Envision clearly: once space opens, define what you truly want—purpose, partnership, or a new chapter—and hold that vision.
Embody daily: the hardest part is living the new belief. Use simple accountability (daily checklist) to stabilize the new “frequency.”
Progress is gradual: shifts can be quick (weeks) or take months. Don’t force “manifestation”; surrender to a natural, honest process.
Relationships: some healing is needed to enter a healthy partnership, and deeper healing often occurs inside the relationship itself.
Practical cue: when you slip into the “old lens,” pause, name the lens, and choose one aligned action that the “new lens” would take today.

Mind–Body Resilience: Breathwork, Warrior Motherhood, and Strength After 60 with Veronique Ory, Jennifer Robb, and Timothy Ward

Saturday Oct 18, 2025

On Healthy Waves with host Avik Chakraborty, three practitioners unpack practical ways to heal and build real stamina—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Veronique Ory (author of Shine On and Off the Mat) shows how breath and presence regulate stress and translate beyond the mat. Jennifer Robb, NP (author of Warrior Mom Rising) lays out clear steps for mothers to advocate for teens facing anxiety, depression, and self-harm—without burning out. Timothy Ward (author of The GOAT Within) explains his Fitness Quadrant—resistance training, nutrition, cardio, and recovery—to protect muscle, heart strength, and metabolic health as we age. Direct, grounded, and usable the same day.

About the guests

Veronique Ory — Yoga teacher, storyteller, and creator of SHINE membership; focuses on breath-led movement for regulation and longevity. Author of Shine On and Off the Mat.
Jennifer Robb, NP — Clinician and advocate for parents navigating adolescent mental health; author of Warrior Mom Rising and host of a community for “Warrior Moms.”
Timothy Ward — Fitness and longevity mentor. Trains clients 40–80+ using his Fitness Quadrant framework. Author of The GOAT Within.

Key takeaways :

Breath is a portable regulator: train longer, nasal breaths and apply them in real-life triggers (conflict, commutes, difficult news), not just in class.
Build stress capacity on purpose: controlled physical “stress” (yoga holds, strength work, cold/heat exposure as appropriate) teaches the nervous system to recover instead of overreact.
For parents: advocacy is ongoing, not a one-off. Choose clinicians who engage, adjust what’s not working, and combine care plans with root-cause work and appropriate, clinician-guided treatment.
Protect the three longevity levers: muscle mass, cardiovascular fitness, metabolic health—via resistance training, individualized nutrition, cardio protocols, and deliberate recovery.
Community prevents isolation spirals. Curate your circle; “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.”
Progress is incremental. Break unhelpful loops, stack small wins, and choose environments that align with who you’re becoming.

Playbook for Life: Mindset Shifts, Wealth Habits, and the Power of the Huddle with Mark Bruce & Duane Gibbs

Saturday Oct 18, 2025

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty huddles with Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs—co-founders of Huddle for Success and authors of Playbook for Life—about clear goal-setting, wealth strategies that last, and the mindset required to get unstuck. We dig into belief, accountability, and why a “huddle” (mastermind/team) beats solo hustle. Expect practical tools you can run today: the 6-task productivity method, journaling to design goals, and reframing burnout with smarter thinking over busier doing.

About the guests :

Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs bring 70+ years of combined experience as entrepreneurs, educators, and performance coaches. Mark grew up with coaches, achieved semi-retirement by 36, and teaches clarity, desire, and belief as the core of achievement. Duane moved from construction and real estate investing into decades of national training, guiding thousands on mindset, strategy, and disciplined action. Together they run Huddle for Success and wrote Playbook for Life.

Key takeaways :

Write one clear goal in the present tense (“I am… I have…”) and revisit it daily to focus your mind.
Use the 6-task method: each night list the six highest-impact actions for tomorrow, prioritize, and execute in order.
Journal to see patterns, identify obstacles, and convert vague wishes into measurable goals and quick wins.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable; momentum begins when you act before you feel perfectly ready.
Belief beats busyness: hard work matters, but mindset and thinking differently create breakthroughs (the “open door” vs. the fly at the window).
Replace solo grind with a huddle/mastermind—accountability, perspective, and better questions accelerate results.
Don’t compare your path to others; define success on your terms and celebrate progress.
Combat burnout by simplifying inputs, aligning actions with purpose, and executing consistently, not endlessly.
Common blocker at every level: self-doubt. Counter it with evidence (small wins), coaching, and clear why-statements (ask “why” seven times).
Immediate action: grab the free Playbook for Life, schedule a 45-minute huddle, and run your first 6-task list today.

How to connect with the guests :

Playbook for Life and 45-minute Huddle Session - grab a free e-copy of guests' book "PLAYBOOK FOR LIFE" and a Free 45 minute Huddle session to help them gain clarity to an area that they just feel stuck in.

Renew Your Mind, Retrain Your Brain: Scripture, Neuroplasticity & Plant Wisdom with Dr. Laurette Willis & Robert Lattig

Friday Oct 17, 2025

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty explores how inner change sticks when faith-driven mindset work meets neuroscience—and where ancient botanicals can (and can’t) support calm focus. Dr. Laurette Willis (founder, Weight Loss Without Willpower) breaks down renewing the mind (Romans 12:2), CBT-based tools, and a quick bilateral stimulation reset for cravings. Entrepreneur Robert Lattig (Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar) shares the cultural roots and modern research interest around Sceletium (Kana) and Kava, plus ethical sourcing with Indigenous partners in South Africa. Together, they examine belief, habit loops, neuroplasticity, and practical daily rituals—without romanticizing shortcuts or ignoring safety.

About the guests :

Dr. Laurette Willis — Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Christian Neuro-Coach; creator of Weight Loss Without Willpower and PraiseMoves. Focus: renewing the mind with Scripture and habit change tools.
Robert Lattig — Founder, Healing Herbals & Roots Kava Bar; e-commerce herbal entrepreneur invested in farm-to-formula supply and cultural stewardship for Kana/Kava.

Key takeaways:

Renewing the mind is daily work: observe thoughts, interrupt the loop, replace with truth-based affirmations (e.g., 2 Corinthians 10:4–5; 1 Corinthians 6:12).
Bilateral stimulation (simple left-right passing of an object) can help disrupt craving pathways when paired with a boundary statement.
Neuroplasticity supports lasting change when beliefs, behaviors, and body cues align—awareness before action.
Kana/Kava are discussed for calm focus and emotional regulation; any use should be informed, legal in your region, and medically supervised if you take prescriptions.
Ethics matter: honoring plant origins means fair employment, local reinvestment, and transparent sourcing—not extraction.
A sustainable ritual: combine a 2-minute thought audit, bilateral reset, and a values-aligned affirmation; if exploring botanicals, start with education and clinician guidance.

How to connect with the guests:

Dr. Laurette Willis: Free mini-course — http://christianweightlosskit.com/ , free gift for listeners, "The Faith-Fueled Weight Loss Blueprint." It comes with a Downloadable Guide and Mini-Course Training video for women of faith who feel stuck in the cycle of overeating and regain.

From Silence to Voice: Breaking the Stigma Around Depression & Anxiety with Noah May

Friday Oct 17, 2025

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Noah May, creator of the Lethal Venom podcast, about navigating depression since age 13, an atypical anxiety diagnosis in 2020, and why speaking openly became his turning point. This direct, no-fluff conversation covers stigma, isolation, therapy, and using media to normalize mental health dialogue for young adults. If you’re building resilience, clarifying what “success” means beyond burnout, or looking for language to start your own conversation, this episode is for you.

About the Guest :

Noah May is a journalist and host of the Lethal Venom podcast (plus two additional shows). He uses long-form conversation to tell the unfiltered truth about mental health, giving voice to those who feel unheard.

Key Takeaways:

Early signs can be confusing: Noah’s anxiety presented primarily as persistent morning nausea and weight loss—proof that symptoms don’t always match the textbook.
Stigma is shifting, slowly: more people share today than a decade ago, but fear of judgment still keeps many silent.
Isolation compounds pain: feeling like an outcast led Noah to “stay small”; sharing his story reversed that pattern.
Speaking up is a first step to healing: openness revealed real support and helped Noah reclaim self-trust.
Redefining success: without self-care, “achievement” becomes another form of burnout; sustainable success includes mental health.
Therapy works: professional help and ongoing self-work were pivotal in Noah’s recovery and day-to-day stability.
Community matters: platforms like podcasts can normalize help-seeking and model vulnerability for younger listeners.
Practical cue: if symptoms don’t look “typical,” still seek evaluation—atypical presentations are real and treatable.

If Not Now, When? Resilience, Growth Mindset, and Storytelling Through Cancer with Ray Hartjen

Friday Oct 17, 2025

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, author and musician Ray Hartjen shares how a 2019 multiple myeloma diagnosis reframed his life. We unpack his “timeline” exercise, growth-mindset habits, and the mottos that keep him moving: “If not now, when?” and “Punch today in the face.” Ray explains how writing his memoir, Me, Myself, and My Multiple Myeloma, turned one-to-one support into one-to-many advocacy, and why relationships—not routines—belong at the center of our days. Practical, candid, and immediately usable for anyone navigating illness, uncertainty, or a needed reset.

About the guest :

Ray Hartjen is a writer, musician, and storyteller whose career spans banking, pharma, consumer electronics, and SaaS. After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2019, he transformed his fight into service—publishing books, performing with The Chronic Padres, and advocating for patients and caregivers worldwide.

Key takeaways:

Use the “timeline” exercise: mark Birth and Death, then locate “where you are now” to stop taking time—and people—for granted.
Shift from crisis-driven change to daily practice: schedule what matters with who matters.
Growth mindset is whole-self work: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual domains rise or sink together.
Anchor actions with clear mottos: “If not now, when?” drives starts; “Use up today” drives follow-through.
Storytelling heals and scales support: writing a candid memoir turned private messages into community impact and hope.
Purpose audit for work–life fit: when values and calendar diverge, joy and peace degrade—re-align deliberately.
Service expands resilience: engaging other patients and caregivers creates meaning beyond metrics.
