When life strips away comfort, mindset stops being motivational talk and becomes a survival-grade discipline.

In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Branden LaNette to unpack mindset as lived practice: how trauma can hijack identity, why scrolling can keep people numb, and what it means to respond to reality with radical responsibility. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck between who they’ve been and who they’re trying to become—and wants a practical next step that actually moves the needle.

Branden LaNette is the host of the “Listen B…” podcast and an author who speaks candidly about emotional intelligence, boundaries, personal responsibility, and faith. She shares her story of being on her own young and raising six kids.

• Define mindset as your response to reality—not affirmations or manifesting

• Notice when replaying old stories keeps your nervous system stuck in the past

• Stop arguing for your discomfort; choose one action that changes momentum

• Ask daily: “What’s the scariest helpful thing I can do today?”

• Do the hardest task first to “open up” the rest of your day

What begins as a sincere search for meaning can quietly become control. In this episode, you’ll hear how devotion can blur into self-erasure—and what it takes to find your voice again.

This conversation is for anyone navigating a high-demand group, spiritual community, or power dynamic that feels “off.” Hosted by Sayan on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, journalist and chef Priya Hutner shares her journey from joining an ashram as a teen to leadership, awakening, and healing through writing, therapy, and rebuilding self-trust.

Priya Hutner is a journalist and chef, and a former CEO of an ashram community. She authored the memoir Chasing Nirvana, reflecting on spirituality, control, and recovery.

• Notice “slow-burn” red flags: shaming, fear-based loyalty, and loss of agency.

• Ask: “Can I question, think critically, and leave without punishment?”

• Track incongruence between teachings and lived reality.

• Rebuild self-trust through supportive practices (therapy, writing, reflection).

• Separate genuine spirituality from systems that demand self-erasure.

Why do some people feel “easy” to talk to—while others constantly frustrate us? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Marita Littauer Tedder to unpack how personality wiring shapes communication, conflict, and connection.

This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck in recurring misunderstandings at home or work. Marita shares her simple color-based personality framework, how “good intentions” can still miss the mark, and the practical shift that changes relationships fastest: learning to identify someone’s type and meet their emotional needs with maturity and care.

Marita Littauer Tedder is the author of 20+ books, including the long-standing bestseller Wired That Way. She teaches how understanding personality differences can improve communication, reduce conflict, and strengthen relationships.

• Stop assuming care equals “communicating like me”—personality differences change what support looks like.

• Use personality awareness to separate “lazy or rude” labels from what’s actually happening.

• Notice visible clues (voice, space, organization, body language) to identify someone’s style.

• Reduce clashes by choosing strengths over weaknesses—growth is a decision.

• Improve one strained relationship by meeting the other person’s emotional needs consistently.

• In teams, shared personality language can prevent misreading tone and intent.

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.

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.

• 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.

Tracy opens up about her journey from feeling disconnected and directionless to finding self-belonging and purpose through vulnerability, travel, and self-trust.
