The Mindful Journey

Parkinson’s Mindset Reset Through Mindfulness with Mark Burnett

On The Mindful Journey Podcast, host Sana sits down with Mark Burnett to unpack a raw story of living with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s risk after being born at Camp Lejeune, a Marine base later linked to contaminated water. Mark shares what it felt like to hear a non-reversible prognosis, how his “programmer mindset” pushed him into deep research, and how mindfulness became practical for him. Not just meditation, but tracking symptoms, building self-awareness and staying present through fear.
This episode also includes personal claims about supplements and brain health that require extra caution. It is a lived-experience conversation, not medical advice. If you or someone you love is navigating Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or dementia caregiving, take what helps. Then verify everything with qualified medical professionals before making changes.
About the Guest:
Mark Burnett is a former database programmer who turned his problem-solving brain toward his own health after neurological diagnoses. Born in 1958 at Camp Lejeune, he connects his long-term symptoms to environmental exposure and shares his research-driven approach to brain restoration, symptom tracking and resilience under uncertainty.
Key Takeaways:
A diagnosis can be a turning point. Panic is normal, but curiosity can become a strategy for coping.
Mindfulness can be operational. Log symptoms, track patterns and notice small wins that your brain will otherwise miss.
The medical system can be time-constrained. Advocate for yourself, bring questions and document what you experience.
Never replace medical care with internet research. Use research to have smarter conversations with clinicians.
Big health claims need receipts. Look for peer-reviewed evidence, limitations and conflicts of interest.
If you try any supplement or protocol, do it with medical supervision. Do not stop prescribed medication on your own.
Caregivers carry heavy invisible load. Support systems and realistic planning matter as much as optimism.
Brain health is not only “mindset”. It is sleep, movement, stress regulation, environment and consistent monitoring.
Prevention thinking can be useful, but avoid fear-based decisions. Focus on controllables and validated steps.
Your story can help others feel less alone, but it must be shared responsibly to avoid harm.

Overwhelmed Moms - Micro Self-Care That Works with Kristen Crabtree

On The Mindful Journey, host Sana gets real about the woman who is holding everything together. Kids, jobs, no backup, constant pressure, zero margin. Guest Kristen Crabtree, author of Be The You, That’s More You Than You Have Ever Been and creator of Paramore Paradox, breaks down what self-care looks like when life is already maxed out. Not the aesthetic version. The survival version.You’ll hear practical micro-tools for overwhelmed women and mothers. Short awareness practices, tiny boundaries, quick self-check questions, identity work “in the margins”, and simple ways to involve kids without turning healing into another chore. The core message is direct. Finding yourself is not a luxury. It’s oxygen.
About the Guest:
Kristen Crabtree helps people who have spent years being dependable and invisible reconnect with who they really are. Her work blends science, philosophy, and metaphysics in plain language and focuses on awareness-first tools that fit real life. She also built Paramour Paradox, a self-recovery ecosystem designed to support truth-seeking with practical resources.
Key Takeaways:
Self-discovery does not require retreats or long journaling sessions. Most identity recovery happens in small gaps during everyday life.
Redefine self-care as survival. If you wait for “free time” you will never start.
Practice awareness in routine moments. Eat one meal with full attention or take one intentional breath before walking into work.
Use a grounding question. “What do I need right now that won’t cost time I don’t have?”
Stop chasing a “new you.” The goal is reconnecting with the part of you that already exists under burnout and caretaking.
Try “third-person narration” for 2 to 3 minutes while doing chores. It creates distance from stress and reconnects you to consciousness.
Make it a family-friendly game. The “Detective” exercise helps kids explore who you are through clues around the home and routines.
Build boundaries that are tiny but consistent. Even 5 minutes of quiet practice with kids nearby can shift the entire household tone.
Learn the difference between true self and inner critic. True self is encouraging and never cruel. If the voice is harsh it’s conditioned noise.
One small change creates ripple effects. A calmer nervous system changes how you parent, work, and show up in community.

From Doubt To Calling In Faith With Pastor Alex Horton

On this episode of The Mindful Journey with host Sana, Pastor Alex Horton unpacks a raw and honest faith journey. He moves from childhood bullying, distrust in God and deep mental health struggles to a sense of calling into ministry and pastoral leadership. This conversation speaks directly to listeners wrestling with faith deconstruction, identity, anxiety and purpose in an always-online world.
Alex shares how moments of intense despair, including suicidal thoughts, collided with an experience he interprets as God’s intervention through the comforting presence of his late cat. That turning point pushed him from chasing a safe career in cybersecurity to pursuing religious studies, a Master of Divinity and building an online ministry.
If you have ever wondered how to balance paying the bills with living a life that actually feels meaningful, this dialogue will resonate. It is a grounded look at vocation, digital distractions, spiritual formation and why your questions do not disqualify you from growth.
About The Guest:
Pastor Alex Horton is a young Christian pastor-in-training and founder of “The Heart Of What We Believe,” an online ministry focused on helping others encounter God’s love in a practical way. After a childhood marked by bullying, disconnection from church and serious mental health battles, Alex rediscovered faith and shifted from cybersecurity studies to religious studies and pursuit of a Master of Divinity. His work centers on youth, young adults and anyone searching for real hope beyond social media validation.
Key Takeaways:
Painful experiences like bullying and mental health challenges can become platforms for authentic ministry when they are integrated, not denied.
There is a difference between surviving and truly living. Careers that only cover bills without aligning with purpose eventually feel empty.
Alex describes an intense moment of suicidal ideation interrupted by what he understands as God’s comforting presence through his late cat. That reframed his sense of God’s nearness and value for his life.
Calling is not always a dramatic voice. Often it is the growing pull toward what you cannot stop learning, talking about and serving through, even when it pays less.
You can live out your faith even in a secular job by being a good steward of money, time and influence while serving others through church and community.
In a culture obsessed with likes and online validation, rooting identity in being made in the image of God changes how you see your worth, relationships and decisions.
Gratitude is not only about material comfort. For Alex, the central focus is the Christian belief that Jesus’ sacrifice makes forgiveness and hope possible.
Your questions, doubts and spiritual confusion are not deal-breakers. They can be the doorway into a more honest, grounded relationship with yourself, with others and with God.

Can We Live Longer And Better Without Obsessing Over Longevity? with Judy Gaman

In this episode of The Mindful Journey by Healthy Mind by Avik, host Sana sits down with Judy Gaman, CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas, award winning author and host of the Stay Young America podcast, to talk about what real longevity actually looks like in everyday life. 
Judy shares what she learned from interviewing and befriending centenarians, including Lucille Fleming, and how their habits, mindset and faith created long lives that were not just long on paper but rich in meaning. They unpack the difference between lifespan and healthspan, why simplicity and purpose beat endless biohacks, and how overworking is a legit health risk, not a badge of honor.
You will hear a grounded take on epigenetics, sleep, food, social connection and burnout. This conversation is not about chasing immortality or fighting wrinkles. It is about becoming intentional with how you eat, move, rest and relate so that your later years still feel like your life and not just time spent in survival mode. This is a straight talk roadmap for anyone who wants to live longer without turning longevity into a fear based project.
About the guest:
Judy Gaman is the CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas, a concierge and executive health practice that serves leaders from around the world. judygaman+1 She is an award winning author, national media health expert and host of the Stay Young America podcast, where she translates complex medical research into practical strategies for better living. judygaman+1
Her books include “Age to Perfection. How to Thrive to 100, Happy, Healthy, and Wise” and “Love, Life, and Lucille. Lessons Learned from a Centenarian,” which chronicles her friendship with 100 plus year old Lucille Fleming and the life changing wisdom that came from it. Women of Wisdom Magazine+1 Judy’s work sits at the intersection of medicine, lifestyle and real human behavior, with a focus on increasing healthspan, not just adding years.
Key takeaways:
Healthspan over lifespanLong life without vitality is not the flex. Real longevity is about staying mobile, clear headed and engaged so that extra years are actually lived, not just counted.
Faith and a higher power show up again and againEvery centenarian Judy interviewed believed in a higher power and carried a sense that they did not hold the whole world on their shoulders. That reduced emotional load matters for nervous system health and long term resilience.
Social connection is a non negotiable longevity habitThe people who thrive past 100 invest in friendships, especially with younger people, so their world does not shrink to funerals and isolation. Longevity without community just becomes a slow slide into loneliness.
Movement beats aesthetic obsessionCentenarians did not talk about six packs or Botox. They talked about bending, lifting, walking and keeping their “machine oiled.” Functional daily movement and strength are more critical than how you look in the mirror.
Epigenetics gives you more control than you thinkGenetics load the gun, but lifestyle and environment pull the trigger. Sleep, anti inflammatory nutrition, low toxin exposure and emotional regulation can reduce the risk that genetic predispositions like dementia actually switch on. silveredgefitness.com
Overwork is a legit health riskJudy calls out workaholism as a longevity killer. Chronic overwork, poor sleep and constant stress push the body toward disease. Longevity requires rest, boundaries and scheduled recovery, not just productivity.
Ultra rigid “longevity projects” can backfireWhen tracking, supplements and devices become a fear driven obsession, they raise stress and shrink social life. Tools should give information, not run your life or replace human connection.
A simple starter pack for living longer and betterDrop artificial sweeteners, cut ultra processed foods, prioritize fruits, vegetables and moderate meat intake, protect eight hours of sleep and build real friendships. These basics beat most expensive hacks. silveredgefitness.com

Is Mindfulness Enough Without Nervous System & Cycle Awareness for Women in Leadership? with Rachel Korb

On this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana cuts through the wellness noise and tackles a hard question. Why are so many high achieving women still burned out even though they meditate, journal, and breathe on cue. Somatic leadership coach Rachel Korb breaks down why mindfulness alone is not enough if we ignore the menstrual cycle, the nervous system, and the unique 28 day infradian rhythm that shapes female energy, focus, and emotional resilience. Together they unpack the window of tolerance, cycle specific stress responses, and how women can design cycle aware leadership that actually works inside fast paced remote teams and startup culture. If you are tired of feeling like you are failing at self care despite doing everything right, this conversation gives you language, frameworks, and body based tools that match real life leadership demands.
About the Guest:
Rachel Korb is a somatic leadership coach, startup veteran, and creator of nervous system informed frameworks used across more than 36 countries. She has led and coached in high pressure tech and remote environments, helping women leaders understand how physiology, trauma, and the nervous system shape performance and burnout. Rachel specializes in female nervous system mastery, cycle aware leadership, and practical body first tools that fit into real workdays, not idealized retreat schedules. She now teaches her signature approach through 1:1 coaching and her upcoming program Nervous System Mastery for Women.
Key Takeaways:
Most high performing women are not failing at mindfulness. Their nervous system and menstrual cycle are in a different phase, so mindset only practices hit a ceiling.
Women in reproductive years run on two rhythms. a 24 hour circadian rhythm and a roughly 28 day infradian rhythm. Workplaces are built for the first, not the second.
The window of tolerance shifts across the cycle. Follicular and ovulatory phases widen resilience and stress capacity, while luteal and bleeding phases narrow tolerance and heighten reactivity.
In high tension moments, women often swing between fight or flight, people pleasing, and shutdown. This shows up as overcommitment, boundary issues, or total collapse in energy.
Cycle aware leadership is not fantasy planning. It is smart scheduling. Use follicular and ovulation for visibility, pitching, and complex decisions. Use luteal for admin, finishing projects, and simplifying demands.
In the luteal vulnerability window, fast nervous system tools work best. 30 second physiological sighs, humming or gentle vocal work, slow exhales, self massage, and warm compresses support regulation inside real meetings.
True inclusion means separating gender roles from biological sex and designing cultures that respect different physiologies instead of forcing everyone into a 24 hour productivity model.
Micro practices beat ideal routines. Short, body based resets across the day create sustainable performance, better decisions, and less self blame for women in leadership.

Can AI Make Us More Present In A Hyperconnected World With Stephanie Sylvestre?

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with AI innovator and founder Stephanie Sylvestre to unpack a hard question. Is AI pulling us away from presence, or can it actually expand our capacity for mindfulness and human connection.
Stephanie breaks down how AI, when used with intention and moderation, can free up time, reduce anxiety, and help people organize their thoughts so they feel more confident, capable, and in control of their lives. From preserving Black history through digital twins to giving low resource communities a stronger voice, this conversation looks at AI as an amplifier of human dignity, not a replacement for it. If you are trying to protect your mental bandwidth in a noisy world while still using powerful tools like AI, this episode gives you a pragmatic, grounded lens that works across real life, work, and wellbeing.
About the Guest:
Stephanie Sylvestre is a founder, AI innovator, and strategist who operates at the intersection of technology, equity, and human development. She has driven major digital shifts in corporate environments, built AI solutions that preserve Black business and history through digital twins, and created access to digital mentors for underrepresented youth. Her work focuses on using AI to expand self agency, access, and opportunity, while keeping humanity, context, and culture at the center.
Key Takeaways:
AI can reduce cognitive load by handling complex tasks faster, opening more space for rest, relationships, and mindful presence in everyday life.
Used intentionally, AI becomes a reflective partner, helping people clarify their message so they communicate with more intention, not more noise.
For low resource communities, AI can transform stream of consciousness ideas into structured language, boosting confidence, self agency, and the belief that their voice matters.
AI supported storytelling and digital twins can help preserve Black history, cultural memory, and community legacy while honoring nuance and lived experience.
Mindfulness should not be reserved only for people who can afford retreats. AI driven, real time nudges and practices can make emotional equilibrium more accessible at scale.
Over reliance is a real risk, so the line is simple. AI should support your ability to sit with yourself, not replace it or become a shortcut around discomfort.
Good design assumes most people want to grow. When AI tools are built to deepen curiosity, learning, and reflection, they encourage engagement instead of avoidance.
AI plus mindfulness is not about hype. It is about using technology to create time, clarity, and capacity so humans can do what only humans can do.

How Do You Stay Mindful When Life Will Not Let Up? with Cyndee Dhalai

On this episode of The Mindful Journey with host Sana, Cyndee Dhalai unpacks what mindfulness actually looks like when life does not get better on cue. Rejected by family for marrying the person she chose, told she should have died instead of a loved one, flatlined multiple times, allergic to almost every medication, and spending over a decade in a wheelchair. Cyndee has lived the kind of story people label a miracle from the outside. Inside, it has been a long grind of pain, faith, and radical honesty.
This conversation gets under the surface of mental health, grief, chronic illness, and self worth. Cyndee breaks down how to stop letting your past run your mind in the present, how to find genuine meaning when your body will not cooperate, and why mindfulness is less about pretty mantras and more about catching your own thoughts before they drag you back into the dark. This is a grounded, no fluff listen for anyone navigating family rejection, long term illness, or the quiet fear that their life will never “bounce back.”
 
About the Guest:
Cyndee Dhalai is a former teacher, poet, and author who has lived through severe illness, repeated medical trauma, long term disability, and devastating loss. Disowned by family, confined to a wheelchair for more than a decade, and told she would never walk again, she slowly rebuilt her life from the inside out. She writes raw poetry about pain, faith, and grief, and publishes under a pen name when the truth is too heavy to carry under her own. Cyndee’s work focuses on self worth, spiritual grounding, and practical mindfulness for people who are in the middle of real struggle, not a highlight reel.
Her books include “Pieces of Me Touch My Soul” and “Grief Is a Price You Pay for Love” (by Faialian) on Amazon.
Key Takeaways:
Mindfulness is not escape, it is interruption. For Cyndee, mindfulness is catching the moment when her mind starts replaying old rejection or pain, then choosing a different thought path instead of letting the story run her life.
Rejection does not define your worth. Being disowned and criticized from childhood taught her that other people’s discomfort with her choices is not proof that she is wrong or broken. It is proof of their conditioning.
Pain is inevitable, suffering is how long we stare at it. Chronic illness and grief still hurt every day. What has shifted is the focus. The more she fixates on pain, the bigger it becomes. When she looks for small advantages in a hard situation, her nervous system and perspective change.
You are allowed to grieve the life you lost and still build a new one. Cyndee did not pretend everything was fine. She named resentment, fear, and anger, then slowly experimented with new ways to live, teach, create, and support others from a different body and rhythm.
Self talk is not fluff. It is programming. Saying “I am unloved” or “nothing ever works for me” reinforces a mental script. Saying “I am here, I have survived this far, I have value” rewires identity over time.
Mindfulness starts with valuing yourself as you are today. Not as successful as someone else, not as healthy, not as fast. You still have the right to be here, to try, to fail, to learn, and to keep walking your own path.

Are Mindful Leadership Skills the Real Survival Tools in the Trades with Traci Austin?

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana breaks down the truth behind mindful leadership in the trades. This isn’t about soft talk. It’s about clarity, presence, accountability, and emotional intelligence that keeps teams stable when pressure spikes. Guest Traci Austin, founder of Elevated Talent Consulting, unpacks why leaders struggle with self-awareness, why empathy without accountability backfires, and how mindful leadership directly impacts retention and performance. The conversation challenges old-school field mindsets and shows how awareness, energy management, and presence redefine leadership in construction and skilled trades. 
About the Guest:
Traci Austin is the founder of Elevated Talent Consulting and a leading voice in mindful, grounded leadership across construction and skilled trades. With two decades of HR and leadership experience, she helps organizations close the leadership gap through emotional intelligence, practical accountability frameworks, and culture clarity.
Key Takeaways:
Leaders often think they’re self-aware, but most aren’t tracking their own reactions. Frameworks like the Tough Talk Audit reveal the truth fast.
Complaints on the jobsite often mask avoidance. When leaders stop complaining and start taking ownership, clarity improves overnight.
Empathy isn’t a weakness. It only becomes a liability when it’s not paired with accountability.
Clarity in direction reduces rework, tension, and safety risks. Many leaders give orders but skip defining expectations.
Mindful leadership equals presence. One hundred percent attention to a team member can shift performance more than any tool or tactic.
Retention improves when leaders define culture, connect with people as humans, and give them a role aligned with their behavioral style.
Accountability is the fastest lever for retention. It raises standards and shows employees what they’re capable of when guided well.
Leaders who say they are “too busy for mindset work” are often stuck in cleanup mode. The real issue is unexamined energy drains and unclear processes.
Culture is not what’s written on the wall. It is what’s tolerated, repeated, and lived down the hall.
Asking employees about their work and personal bucket list goals can reveal their motivation, alignment, and focus better than any performance tool.

What If Your Repeating Patterns Are Not Random but a Blueprint You Were Born With, with Alexander Dunlop and Viki Scudiery

This episode of The Mindful Journey cuts through the noise around self-healing. We talk strategy. We talk alignment. We talk about why you keep circling the same patterns even after doing all the “right” things. Alexander Dunlop and Viki Scudiery break down the Source Cards system, explaining how a simple 52-card deck can function like a data-driven blueprint for your emotional patterns, relationships, and life lessons. This conversation is grounded, practical, and built for listeners who want to move beyond vague spirituality into real-world clarity. If you’re stuck, looping old cycles, or confused about whether a struggle is trauma or destiny, this one hits hard.
ABOUT THE GUESTS:
Alexander Dunlop and Viki Scudiery are the creators of The Source Cards, a modern framework decoding the ancient mathematics embedded in a standard deck of playing cards. Their work blends mysticism, psychology, and lived experience to help people understand their life path, challenges, relationship patterns, and the unconscious energies shaping them. Together, they teach individuals how to play their “cards” with strategy, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
The Source Cards system reveals an energetic template you’re born into, helping you distinguish design-based challenges from trauma-based patterns.
Each person has a 13-card life path including key challenge cards like Saturn, Pluto, and the Soul Challenge card, which often explain recurring struggles.
Painful life patterns often appear because they’re part of your energetic curriculum, not personal failure.
Patterns caused by misalignment or old conditioning can be identified through the mismatch between your lived behavior and your natural card blueprint.
You always have free will to play your cards well, even if the “hand” is predetermined.
Your birth card and personality card reveal core gifts, shadows, and tendencies that show up across relationships, career, and emotional habits.
Relationship dynamics improve when partners understand each other’s suit-based “love languages” rather than projecting their own.
Emotional availability, avoidance, and intimacy struggles often link directly to challenge cards in your life path.
The cards help you see where you're resisting yourself, holding onto outdated beliefs, or creating unnecessary suffering.
This system is a lifelong toolkit, not a one-time reading, designed to guide conscious decision-making and personal growth.

Can The Meraki Way Help You Heal Chronic Inflammation, Long COVID And Burnout From The Inside Out? with J'Nai Danielle Zugates & Stephanie Thorpe

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana talks with registered nurses turned holistic healers J'Nai Danielle Zugates and Stephanie Thorpe, co-founders of The Meraki Way / Meraki Functional Reset. They unpack how chronic stress, long COVID, autoimmune symptoms and emotional overload show up as inflammation, gut issues, exhaustion and so called mystery pain that standard tests often miss.
Drawing on functional testing, nervous system regulation, holographic memory resolution and energy work, J'Nai Danielle and Stephanie break down how the body’s alarm system, cortisol and old emotional imprints can keep you stuck in survival mode. This is not about rejecting traditional medicine. It is about integrating science, biology and energy so your body actually feels safe enough to heal.
If you have ever felt gaslit by the healthcare system, told your labs are normal while your life is falling apart, this conversation gives you language, context and a practical roadmap to start reclaiming your health from the inside out.
About The Guests:
J'Nai Danielle Zugates is an ER nurse who developed long COVID with significant heart, lung, nerve and joint damage. After being told she would never run again and being placed on 15 medications, she turned to energy work, meditation, holographic memory resolution and functional support. She went from oxygen and near collapse to running a marathon, and now helps clients rewire trauma, panic and chronic pain so their brains finally register safety.
Stephanie Thorpe is a registered nurse and functional practitioner who spent 15 years inside conventional healthcare while battling her own autoimmune and inflammatory symptoms. Crushed by medication costs and still unwell, she shifted to functional lab testing, gut repair, hormone balance and lifestyle reset. Today she combines evidence based testing with nervous system aware coaching to help high achieving women calm inflammation, regulate cortisol and exit burnout in a structured, science backed way.
Together they created The Meraki Way, a 90 day mind body spirit reset that blends functional medicine, nervous system work and energy practices so clients stop feeling broken and start feeling in control again.
Key Takeaways:
Chronic inflammation is often the body’s alarm system saying I do not feel safe, not a random failure. Cortisol resistance from long term stress lets inflammation run wild.
Stress becomes biochemical. Micromanaging bosses, perfectionism and living out of alignment can quietly dysregulate hormones, gut health, sleep and immunity even when your labs look normal.
Holographic memory resolution uses neuroscience and stored sensory imprints to show the brain that traumatic moments are over. When the brain feels safe, pain and symptoms can finally shift.
Many clients are not difficult patients. They are chronically dismissed. The Meraki Way centers listening, personalized data and nervous system repair instead of cookie cutter protocols.
Completing the stress cycle with movement, like the Meraki Walk, helps discharge survival energy. Walking, shaking, stretching or dancing tells your brain the danger has passed.
True healing is not a one time fix. It is an ongoing dialogue between body, mind and energy where you learn your own manual and stop outsourcing every decision to the system.
