The Mindful Journey

Are You Doing Hard Things For The Right Reasons? With Shaun Bemis

On this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Yusuf sits down with endurance athlete, veteran and business professional Shaun Bemis to unpack what it actually means to “do hard things” in real life. No hustle porn, no motivational fluff. Just pragmatic truth.
From combat zones to ultramarathons on Mount Kilimanjaro to training for his first Ironman while raising a family and building a business, Shaun breaks down how to align your toughest challenges with a clear personal why. He talks about transitioning out of the military, losing structure, putting on weight, feeling adrift and how endurance training helped him rebuild purpose, mental fitness and community.
You will hear real talk on discipline versus motivation, when “grind mode” turns into avoidance, why rest and recovery are non negotiable for sustainable performance and how to fold your kids, partner and work into your goals instead of competing with them.
If you are a founder, high performer, creator or veteran trying to connect your career, body and mental health, this conversation gives you a clean framework to stress test your why and move forward. One left foot, right foot at a time.
About The Guest:
Shaun Bemis is a former U.S. military service member, endurance athlete and business professional who uses extreme challenges to explore purpose, resilience and leadership. After leaving the military and navigating a messy job transition, he turned to long distance running and ultra events as a way to rebuild structure, confidence and mental clarity.
Shaun has completed a 75 kilometer race on Mount Kilimanjaro with over 2,000 meters of elevation gain and is currently training for his first Ironman, using the race to raise funds for Team RWB, an organization that supports veterans across physical, mental and community pillars. Through his content, races and fundraising, he encourages veterans and high performers to leverage hard things as a way to reconnect with themselves, not to escape their lives.
Key Takeaways:
Doing hard things is not about ego. For Shaun it is about showing up as his best self for his family, clients and community so the hardest thing in the day is often the 4.30am workout, not the inbox.
Your why gets tested when no one is watching. Solo races, long miles and the option to quit reveal whether you are doing this for yourself or to impress culture, career or external expectations.
Misaligned whys show up as burnout or DNF. When work, life and training are out of sync, self doubt and “if I am not winning at everything, I am failing at everything” thinking can derail both races and business.
Purpose driven endurance is selfish and generous at the same time. You must carve out training windows, then bring that stronger self back to your partner, kids, clients and veteran community.
Recovery is a performance lever, not a luxury. Easy runs, meditation, sauna, cold plunges, yoga, time with kids and phone free evenings are part of sustainable success, not a sign of weakness.
Forward motion is the only KPI that really matters. Left foot, right foot. Pace changes, seasons change, but consistent movement is what compounds over years.

How Can Self-Care Help You Reclaim Your Life After Emotional Abuse? with Amanda J Scott

On this episode of The Mindful Journey with host Sana, author and survivor Amanda J Scott breaks down what it really takes to rebuild your life after 17 years of emotional and financial abuse. This is not a feel-good highlight reel. It is a grounded conversation about exhaustion, walking on eggshells, and the moment you admit to yourself. this is abuse.
Amanda explains how self-care shifts from luxury to lifeline. From walks in the park and journaling to setting non-negotiable boundaries, she shows how daily micro-choices slowly rebuild self-worth. If you have been conditioned to please, fix, and keep the peace at any cost, this episode will help you see self-care as a strategy for survival and long-term emotional health.
Perfect for listeners searching for emotional abuse recovery tools, healthy relationship standards, and practical self-care habits they can apply today across real life, not just Instagram aesthetics.
About the Guest: Amanda J Scott
Amanda J Scott is the author of “Finding My Way Back To Me,” a candid and accessible book about leaving an abusive relationship and rebuilding identity from the ground up. After 17 years in a relationship that eroded her emotional and financial autonomy, she now supports women in recognizing abuse, reclaiming self-worth, and learning that kindness and respect are non-negotiables. Through her writing, blogs, and personal support, Amanda reminds women that it is never too late to come home to themselves.
Key Takeaways:
Self-care is not a reward after the chaos. it is a lifeline when you are emotionally depleted and physically drained
Abuse often feels “normal” when you are inside it. naming emotional, financial, or spiritual abuse is the first act of self-care and the door to freedom
Walking in nature, moving with your emotions, and creating quiet space are simple but powerful ways to process anger, sadness, and fear instead of storing them in your body
Daily self-care is about consistency. small acts like resting, drinking tea slowly, or watching a sunrise build the belief that your needs matter
Boundaries are not walls built from fear. they are gentle gates that protect your peace and reflect your self-worth in action
Saying no without over-explaining is a skill. you do not need to justify rest, distance, or limits to anyone to be “good”
Healthy love is safety, mutual respect, and room to make mistakes. when control, fear, and walking on eggshells are present, you are surviving, not loving
Good friends can be a backbone in recovery. one grounded person who sees your reality can help you remember that you deserve kindness and respect
Emotional health is as critical as physical health. unspoken emotions do not disappear. they show up as tension, exhaustion, and illness
Reclaiming yourself is a long game. but every act of alignment. choosing peace over pleasing. is evidence that you are no longer living for approval but for your own truth

Can You Rewire Your Reality By Rewiring Your Thoughts? with Melissa Deally

On The Mindful Journey, host Sana unpacks how thoughts drive outcomes with integrative mind-body practitioner and NLP trainer Melissa Deally. We dig into unconscious filters. why 12 million bits per second get compressed into what we actually perceive. and how Timeline Therapy can clear stored negative emotions so new behaviors stick without relying on willpower. Expect a grounded take on mind-body healing. from clearing limiting decisions to aligning the mental. emotional. physical. and spiritual bodies. 
About the Guest:
Melissa Deally is a globally recognized integrative mind-body health practitioner. Trainer of NLP and Timeline Therapy. and host of the award-winning podcast Don’t Wait for Your Wake-Up Call.
Key Takeaways:
Your brain receives ~12M bits of sensory data per second. your unconscious compresses this through personal filters into a tiny stream you can act on. change the filters. change the experience.
Filters are built from memories. beliefs. language. and decisions. Two people share an event yet remember two different “truths.”
Timeline Therapy targets root causes on the unconscious timeline. releasing stacked anger. sadness. fear. guilt. shame. rage. and “not enough” decisions.
Clearing emotion at the unconscious level updates the “program.” behaviors shift with far less willpower. results become sustainable.
Symptoms in the body often follow misalignment in emotional. mental. and spiritual bodies. address all four or patterns recur.
Talking once can surface awareness. repeating the story can re-fire traumatic neurology. Timeline work releases charge without re-traumatization.
Reframing identity and purpose post-clearing creates clarity. agency. and consistency under stress because the change is neurologically wired.
Practical next step. explore her Meet Your Unconscious Mind Workshop to test drive tools before deep work.

Is Bipolar Disorder a Spiritual Awakening? Kundalini, Breathwork, and “Bipolar Awakenings” —Sean Blackwell

On The Mindful Journey, Sana sits down with Sean Blackwell to challenge the conventional lens on bipolar disorder. Sean argues that some acute episodes labeled “mania” or “psychosis” can function as spiritual emergencies—experiences that, when held in a safe container, catalyze trauma release and long-term integration. We unpack his retreat model, Bipolar Breathwork (inspired by holotropic methods), the role of kundalini/chakra frameworks, why he keeps clients on medication during healing work, and how to assess the line between a mental-health emergency and a spiritual crisis. If you care about nuanced mental health conversations that bridge science, lived experience, and spirituality—this one’s for you.
About the Guest:
Sean Blackwell is the author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder and founder of private retreats where he facilitates breathwork-based trauma processing for clients with bipolar diagnoses and related non-ordinary states.
Key Takeaways:
Sean frames certain bipolar I psychoses as spiritual emergencies with common “spiritual delusions” (e.g., rebirth, messiah missions), suggesting patterned—not random—experiences.
His method, Bipolar Breathwork, uses intensive music and aggressive, self-paced breathing to relax ego defenses and surface repressed material for processing.
Early sessions often present as quiet or “shamanic sleep,” which he interprets as the bioenergetic system “repairing” before explicit trauma emerges.
He insists clients remain on psychiatric medication during retreats to stay grounded; any med changes are routed through the client’s psychiatrist.
Distinguishing spiritual crisis from clinical emergency requires context: safety, containment, informed facilitation, and medical collaboration.
He cites influences from Dr. Stan Grof and India’s kundalini/chakra traditions while acknowledging that spiritual mechanisms aren’t empirically measurable.
Lived experience story: his 1996 acute psychosis led to significant life changes and launched his research into “bipolar awakenings.”
Practical lens: respect both territories—psychiatry for stabilization, spiritual work for meaning-making and trauma resolution.

Can Phytoplankton Fuel Cellular Health and Simplify “Complex” Wellness? ft. David Hunter

On this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana speaks with David Hunter (founder of Global Phytoplankton) about marine phytoplankton, cellular nourishment, and what it takes to shift public skepticism. We cover the origin story—from shellfish feed to human anecdotes—plus why simple inputs can matter in a world obsessed with complicated fixes. This is a grounded look at mitochondrial-ready nutrition, habits (sugar, ultra-processed foods), mindset change, and how to evaluate extraordinary claims with personal responsibility and evidence. 
About the guest:
David Hunter is the founder behind Global Phytoplankton/USA Global Phytoplankton Alliance. His work centers on cultivating and supplying marine phytoplankton as a nutrition product and advocating for better daily habits as the base of health.
Key takeaways :
Marine phytoplankton sits at the base of the oceanic food chain and is nutrient dense; David argues its particle size and profile may make it convenient cellular fuel.
The “origin story”: a sea-farm experimentation led to unexpected human anecdotes; David describes many people reporting better energy, skin balance, and fewer allergy triggers. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
Mindset > magic bullet: supplements can’t outpace daily inputs like sugar intake and ultra-processed foods. Cutting obvious excesses is a practical first step.
Skepticism is healthy: extraordinary claims require evidence; use critical thinking, talk with your clinician, and consider objective markers (sleep, energy, labs) when trying any nutrition change.
Compliance beats complexity: simple, repeatable nutrition + small habit upgrades often outperform elaborate “biohacks.”
Regulatory reality: David describes pivoting from disease-cure framing to positioning phytoplankton as a general nutrition product to operate legally and responsibly.
Who might explore it: people interested in nutrient density and minimal-ingredient additions; start low, track responses, and keep your healthcare provider in the loop.
Bottom line: prioritize whole-food patterns, reduce obvious dietary stressors, and treat any supplement—phytoplankton included—as an adjunct, not a replacement for medical care.

Micronutrients & Mental Health: What Really Helps (Without Hype) — David Stephan

On The Mindful Journey, we examine whether targeted micronutrients can support mood, focus, and resilience—without overpromising. David Stephan (Truehope Canada) details his family’s path from crisis to a nutrition-first protocol, what changed, what didn’t, and where standard care still matters. We cover the brain–gut connection, bioavailability (chelation, mineral balance), timelines for noticing changes, and ethical marketing in the wellness space. This conversation is educational, not prescriptive—do not change medication or treatment without your licensed clinician.
About the guest:
David Stephan is associated with Truehope Canada, a company focused on bioavailable, balanced micronutrient formulations intended to complement mental wellness care. He advocates for evidence-informed nutrition, gut health, and transparent claims.
Key takeaways :
Micronutrients are cofactors for neurotransmitter and hormone synthesis; bioavailability and balance (e.g., chelation, mineral ratios) matter more than high dose.
Gut health influences absorption and symptom response; dysbiosis or Candida overgrowth can blunt effects until addressed.
Reported timelines vary: some notice changes in 2–3 weeks; others need longer. Rapid shifts are uncommon and shouldn’t be the promise.
Medication context: Some individuals may reduce or remain on meds; tapering requires physician supervision to manage withdrawal and avoid harm.
Not a miracle, not a placebo: The goal is to correct deficiencies so daily functioning (sleep, mood regulation, stress tolerance, cognitive clarity) becomes more consistent.
Quality controls (micronization, chelation, batch consistency) distinguish a multivitamin that’s felt from one that just looks good on a label.
Ethics over hype: Address root causes, set clear expectations, and avoid band-aid marketing claims; results should be measured by lived function, not slogans.
Actionable next steps: consult your clinician, review labs/diet/gut status, evaluate evidence for any product, and track outcomes with simple mood/sleep logs.

Healing Your Gut, Calming Your Mind: The Real Gut–Brain Connection, Vagus Nerve Basics, and Stress Cravings Explained with Lola MacLean

On The Mindful Journey, host Sana digs into the gut–brain axis with Lola MacLean, a Functional Gut Health Consultant and Family Nurse Practitioner. We cover the enteric nervous system, vagus nerve, stress physiology, “leaky gut,” nutrient absorption, dysbiosis (including Candida), and why basics like sleep, movement, relationships, and simple mindfulness often outperform fads. Clear, actionable steps for high-achieving women who are done guessing and want results without the wellness noise.
About the guest:
Lola MacLean is a family nurse practitioner and functional gut health consultant who helps women reduce bloating, bathroom urgency, and anxiety by restoring gut function and rebuilding body trust through evidence-informed foundations and practical habits.
Key takeaways:
The “second brain” refers to the enteric nervous system; it talks to your brain primarily via the vagus nerve, shaping mood, focus, and digestion.
Stress pushes the body into sympathetic (fight/flight) mode, which slows motility and digestion, creating a loop of poor absorption and more anxiety.
Nutrient absorption matters: low stomach acid, H. pylori, or microbiome imbalance can reduce magnesium, iron, zinc, and B-vitamins—nutrients tied to energy and mental health.
Cravings can be data: dysbiosis (e.g., Candida overgrowth) may drive persistent sugar urges; addressing the root reduces the pull.
Foundations first beat protocols: quality sleep, gentle daily movement, supportive relationships, joy, and simple mindfulness (brief walks, singing, breathwork) regulate the gut-brain axis.
“Doing everything right” isn’t a checklist; it’s listening to your body and adapting by life stage—what worked at 20 may not at 40 or 60.
Practical start: eat unhurried, stimulate the vagus nerve (slow exhales, humming), keep meals consistent, and audit stress before adding supplements.Platform safety review: Not violating. This episode contains no hate, harassment, illegal activity, or graphic content; health topics are educational, not prescriptive.

Trauma, PNEI, and Healing the Body–Mind: Practical Tools to Regulate Stress and Build Inner Safety — with Magic Barclay

On The Mindful Journey, host Sana and practitioner-instructor Magic Barclay break down psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology (PNEI)—how thoughts and emotions trigger nervous system responses, shift hormones, and shape immunity. From childhood and relational trauma to autoimmune flares like psoriasis, we unpack stress biology in plain language and share practical regulation tools you can use today, including scent-based anchoring, reframing self-talk, and holistic assessment. If you’re exploring trauma healing, nervous system regulation, mind–body medicine, ACEs, stress resilience, or holistic health, this direct, no-fluff conversation will help you connect science with lived experience and take the next step toward steadier energy and inner safety.
About the guest:
Magic Barclay is a holistic health practitioner and educator who teaches the PNEI of trauma. Her work integrates body–mind awareness, immune typing, and practical lifestyle strategies to identify and resolve root causes.
Key takeaways:
PNEI in action: Thoughts and emotions (psycho) cue the nervous system, escalate to endocrine changes (hot, clammy, dizzy), and finally show up as immune symptoms (sniffles, rashes).
Safety drives biology: The brain scans for safety; perceived threat—not just real danger—can trigger fight/flight/freeze/fawn.
ACEs matter: Adverse Childhood Experiences and adverse relationship experiences raise lifelong health risk if unaddressed.
Immune “types” shift: We are meant to move among immune states; stress can push barrier breakdown (gut/skin) or infection-fighting modes, influencing flare-ups like psoriasis.
Stress is the amplifier: External pressures plus internal narratives load the system; your response to events often matters more than the events.
Scent memory as a fast reset: Olfactory cues can interrupt escalating PNEI cascades and bring the body back to calm.
Language matters: Update self-talk; regulation starts with how you speak to yourself.
Science and meaning can coexist: Balance data with what gives you grounded faith or purpose; both support healing.
Root-cause approach: Holistic counseling and structured questionnaires can map drivers and guide practical, individualized steps.

Building a Business from $200: Risk, Resilience & the Power of Being Human with Rachel Allen

On The Mindful Journey, host Yusuf digs into how writer-turned-strategist Rachel Allen went from landing in Hong Kong with $200 and no work visa to building a 17-year career in copywriting and marketing strategy. Rachel breaks down the real decisions behind survival and growth: treating work as experiments, meeting luck halfway with risk, and shutting down a half-working agency model to return to high-impact solo strategy. The conversation is a clear blueprint for creators and founders who want momentum without the myths—especially in an AI-saturated market where “human is the only move left.” Actionable, grounded, and designed for listeners who value honest tactics over hype.
About the Guest:
Rachel Allen is a copywriter and marketing strategist behind Bolt from the Blue Copywriting. She helps founders translate vision into language that converts—centered on depth, clarity, and relationship-driven growth.
Key Takeaways:
Start small, act fast: Rachel treated early gigs as experiments, reducing fear and increasing speed to proof.
Meet luck halfway: She credits luck and deliberate risk—continually placing herself where opportunities could materialize.
Skill + humility > hustle myths: Long-term growth came from talent, consistent practice, and staying open to learning—not from “working harder than everyone.”
Signals of product–market fit: A client crying on a call signaled she’d captured their deeper truth—evidence that messaging resonates when you truly see the customer.
Own the hard calls: Her agency-model attempt only half-worked; closing it cost years of cleanup but restored alignment and outcomes.
Clarity through contrast: “Real job” vs. business wasn’t a status debate; it was about where she did her best work and served best.
Relationships are the moat: In cyclical markets where tactics expire, quality relationships and showing up human keep businesses resilient.
In the age of AI: Personal, thoughtful outreach (e.g., short personalized videos) cuts through and builds durable trust.
Advice to starters: Follow the thread of possibility, expect a personal growth marathon, and commit to daily improvement.

Science-Backed Buddhist Mental Health: Forgiveness, Boundaries & Everyday Practice ft. Saw Myint (CPA, Sydney)

On The Mindful Journey, host Sana talks with Saw Myint, a CPA-qualified finance broker from Sydney who teaches practical mental-health care inspired by Buddha’s teachings and supported by science. We cover why forgiveness is strength, how to set limits with people who exploit kindness, and a no-ritual, live-as-you-go method for stress relief. Expect direct, applicable strategies for anxiety, resentment, and everyday triggers—without dogma. 
About the guest:
Saw Myint is a CPA, former auditor, and finance broker who began helping others at 20. After a personal awakening at 30, she reframed Buddhist insights as universal, secular mental-health practices. She runs a registered Australian charity and shares practical guidance for real-world stress, relationships, and self-regulation.
Key takeaways:
Feelings are echoes, not the event. Mind and body change constantly; emotions often reflect memory or imagination, so notice them and release.
Forgiveness ≠ permission. Forgive to free yourself; set limits to protect time, energy, and safety—say “no” to time-wasters and manipulators.
Practice while living. You don’t need seated meditation to benefit; apply awareness during work, parenting, eating, resting.
Two core states: satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Identify which you’re in, then adjust attention and actions rather than chasing control.
Attachment fuels suffering. Pleasant and unpleasant states don’t last; acknowledge, then let go to reduce rumination and stress loops.
Belief guides behavior. Choose grounding beliefs (e.g., “this will pass,” “my time is precious”) to steer decisions under pressure.
Boundaries with kindness. Be generous without enabling exploitation; differentiate business assertiveness from personal compromise.
Community matters. Healing becomes durable when shared—learn, then model calmer responses for family and peers.
If you’re in immediate crisis, contact local emergency services or your regional suicide prevention helpline.
