The Mindful Living

Heal Emotional Wounds at the Root with Source Completion Therapy with Dr. Robert Bleck

What if your trauma doesn’t have to follow you forever—and the “symptoms” you battle are really detours away from the original hurt? In this episode, we explore what it can mean to complete an emotional wound, not just cope with it.
Hosted by Sana on The Mindful Living, this conversation is for anyone carrying long-term pain, anxiety, anger, numbness, or self-doubt. Dr. Robert Bleck shares how childhood trauma can get buried for survival, then resurface later as compulsions, addictions, phobias, and relationship patterns—and how his three-phase approach aims to resolve the source.
About the Guest:
Dr. Robert Bleck is a counseling psychologist with a PhD in counseling and a background training future therapists at the university level. He developed Source Completion Therapy (SCT) and is the author of Give Back the Pain.
Key Takeaways:
Notice “diversions” (compulsions, rage, addictions, phobias) as signals of deeper stored pain.
Start with awareness: identify who hurt you and what happened—without forcing details.
Use the body as data: recurring physical symptoms may point to unprocessed emotional wounds.
Revisit the past safely and gradually (visualization/hypnosis/self-hypnosis) to access buried feelings.
Complete the process through guided communication (directly or indirectly) to express impact and reclaim power.
Healing doesn’t erase memory—it reduces emotional intensity so life isn’t driven by pain.

Rebuilding Your Relationship With Yourself Through Trauma-Informed Mindfulness Practices with Kerisma Vere

On The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with holistic wellness coach and author Kerisma Vere for an honest conversation about mental health, mindfulness, and what it really means to rebuild a safer relationship with yourself. If typical “just breathe” advice has ever made you feel worse, this episode meets you with realism, compassion, and practical alternatives.
This is for anyone navigating anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, or harsh self-judgment and wanting gentler ways to reconnect. Kerisma shares why mindfulness can feel unsafe for some nervous systems, and offers simple, doable practices to build self-trust without forcing deep emotional work too fast.
About the Guest:
Kerisma Vere is a holistic wellness coach and author whose work is grounded in lived experience. She speaks openly about healing through trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and adversity using a trauma-informed, non-prescriptive approach.
Key Takeaways:
Redefine “wholeness” as accepting all parts of you, not reaching a perfect “healed” state
If mindfulness feels unsafe, prioritize support and stabilization before deeper inner work
Use “titration” by stepping into hard feelings briefly, then stepping back out to rebuild safety
Try daily micro check-ins: scan your body, thoughts, and energy without needing to fix anything
Add compassion in the moment: acknowledge what’s hard and offer yourself kind words
When frozen or overwhelmed, use the “feet forward” visual to reduce pressure and restore direction

Beauty as Medicine: The Neuroscience of Awe, Joy, and Nervous System Healing with Hayley Hunter Hines

In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with wellness futurist Hayley Hunter Hines to challenge a big assumption: that beauty is a “nice-to-have.” Together, they explore how awe, joy, color, and sensory richness can act as real inputs for nervous system regulation, not indulgences you earn later.
This conversation is for anyone feeling emotionally flat, chronically stressed, or stuck in a productivity-first lifestyle. You’ll walk away with a new lens on healing: not just effort and discipline, but intentionally designing your environment and rhythms so your body can soften, feel safe, and actually thrive.
About the Guest:
Hayley Hunter Hines is a wellness futurist and founder of Soul Sparkle Living with 30 years of experience across corporate wellness and holistic consulting. She created the SPARKLE Framework™️, integrating joy and beauty as key dimensions of wellbeing.
Key Takeaways:
Treat beauty as a biological need, not a reward after work is done.
Use nature anchors (sunrise/sunset, water, greenery) to support daily regulation.
Curate your environment: add art, plants, warmth, and sensory comfort to reduce stress activation.
Redefine success as rested sleep, meaningful work, and calm as your default, not constant hustle.
Give yourself permission to choose the aesthetic that helps you feel like your best self, not what looks “mindful.”
Remember: calm without joy can become flat; regulation without pleasure becomes survival.

Inner Healing, Outer Purpose: Robin Clare’s Harmony Method for True Success with Robin Clare

As 2026 begins, Mindful Living Podcast host Sana sits down with author and teacher Robin Clare to explore what happens when inner healing meets outer purpose. Robin shares how harmony is not something we chase, but something we remember through awareness, surrender, and honest alignment.
This episode is for anyone tired of striving, stuck in old patterns, or craving a calmer, truer way to live. You’ll hear how Robin’s six elements of the Harmony Method can help you reconnect with your soul’s guidance, create stronger boundaries, and pursue goals with ease instead of burnout.

Practice surrender: name your suffering clearly and choose to be done with it
Use one daily journal prompt: “What does my soul want me to know today?”
Reframe commitment as devotion with room for setbacks and real life
Respond to conflict without taking it personally, then set clear boundaries
Choose ease over “easy” by aligning who you are inside with what you do outside

Presence Before Productivity: Larry Kesslin on Inner Peace and the Joy Molecule

In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Larry Kesslin to explore why presence is not a spiritual concept, it is the only moment we actually have. If the holidays or New Year left you feeling busy but not fulfilled, this conversation brings you back to what matters.
This episode is for anyone craving steadier inner peace, deeper connection, and a more grounded definition of joy. Larry shares how a 2012 trip to rural Uganda reshaped his view of success, why joy is not dependent on circumstances, and how simple awareness can shift your relationship with anxiety, grief, and self-talk.
About the Guest:
Larry Kesslin is an entrepreneur and coach who has studied human joy across cultures for 13 years. After a transformative 2012 trip to rural Uganda, he created the “Joy Molecule” framework, centered on knowing what you are, who you are, and why you are here.
Key Takeaways:
Use your breath as a daily anchor to return to the present.
Start change by noticing when you are not present.
Redefine success beyond freedom, include service and significance.
Separate thoughts from identity: thoughts are data, not you.
Build conscious connection with self first, then others.

Mindful Martial Arts: Use Presence to Stay Calm, Decisive, and Ready with Aleksandra Ceho

On the The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Aleksandra Ceho to explore why real mindfulness is not passive, especially when life feels uncertain at the start of a new year. This episode is for anyone feeling pressure, anxiety, or urgency to “figure it all out” fast, and wants a steadier way to move forward.
Aleksandra connects martial arts training, mindfulness, and astrology through one core idea: master your inner universe so you can respond, not react. You’ll learn how anticipation creates stress, why hardship training builds mental resilience, and how astrology can support action without becoming an excuse.
About the Guest :
Aleksandra Ceho is an astrologer who teaches astrology and tarot internationally and has over 20 years of martial arts experience. She holds an instructorship in Boxe Française Savate, a French form of kickboxing, and works with entrepreneurs and executives on strategic preparation.
Key Takeaways :
Replace anticipation with presence so your mind stops spiraling into worst case outcomes
Use “look at the punch” thinking: face challenges directly to respond effectively
Build stress inoculation through controlled difficulty like martial arts training
Notice how your mind exaggerates discomfort, then verify what your body can actually handle
Treat astrology as a timing and awareness tool, then pair it with clear action steps
Reduce shame driven decision loops by focusing on learning, not self judgment

Reclaim Your Inner Compass: Break Invisible Vows and Trust Yourself Again with Toni LaMotta

On The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits with spiritual coach Toni LaMotta to unpack the invisible vows that shape our lives, especially the ones formed in childhood and reinforced every new year.
This episode is for anyone who feels “successful on paper” but quietly disconnected inside. You will learn how to spot obedience that costs you your voice, use the body as a truth compass, and reset intentions without turning growth into self-pressure.
About the Guest:
Toni LaMotta spent 16 years in a convent under a vow of obedience and later devoted her work to helping people recognize borrowed vows and reclaim self-trust. She teaches the Enneagram and leads Inner Compass coaching and training.
Key Takeaways:
Identify your hidden vows: perfectionism, people-pleasing, overachievement, self-silencing
Use somatic cues: calm equals truth, tightness equals misalignment
Pause and trace triggers to earlier moments, not the present situation
Choose a yearly “quality” (peace, joy, beauty) instead of rigid goals
Practice quiet listening through directed journaling and daily check-ins

Why You Want to Change But Stay Stuck: Conscious Desires vs Subconscious Programming with Anna Machkalov

Holidays can trigger pressure, comparison, and the same patterns on repeat. In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Anna Machkalov to unpack why motivation is not enough when subconscious programming is running the show.
This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in habits, relationships, or self-sabotage loops, especially when a new year starts. You’ll learn how early-life wiring shapes “safe” choices, how shame keeps people trapped, and a practical first step to interrupt automatic behavior so real change becomes possible.
About the Guest :
Anna Machkalov is a certified hypnotherapist and former cosmetic medicine professional with 23+ years of experience. Trained at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, she focuses on subconscious healing for anxiety, confidence, relationships, and lasting self-directed change.
Key Takeaways:
Your brain prioritizes safety and familiarity, not happiness, so change can feel threatening
Early childhood (0–8) shapes subconscious patterns before logic and reasoning fully develop
Shame and guilt often keep people stuck more than the habit itself
Use a “pause button” moment to catch subconscious behavior before it runs automatically
Replace behaviors with new cues and options, since the brain does not respond well to “don’t”
Neuroplasticity makes change possible at any age with consistent retraining
