The Mindful Living

Holistic Health in Western Medicine: Integrating the Mind, Emotions, and Spirit with Julius Torelli

In this episode of The Mindful Living podcast, host Sana sits down with Julius Torelli, a physician with over four decades of experience, to explore how Western medicine can evolve by embracing non-physical dimensions of health. Julius unpacks why mainstream healthcare often overlooks emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being and how this gap impacts patients suffering from medically unexplained symptoms like chronic headaches and IBS. Through his "Gratefully Well" model, Julius shares actionable ways to bridge the divide between mind and body, highlighting gratitude, mindset shifts, and holistic practices as key tools. Whether you're navigating chronic symptoms, working in healthcare, or simply curious about more integrated healing, this conversation offers a powerful perspective on what true wellness can look like.
About the Guest:Julius Torelli is a seasoned physician and founder of the Gratefully Well framework, which integrates neuroscience, emotional health, and gratitude practices into patient care. He is the author of Holistic Health Pathways: Awaken Vitality and Resilience with Intentional Gratitude and is passionate about empowering individuals to take responsibility for their health in a holistic way.
Key Takeaways:
Western medicine has historically focused on what can be measured—lab results, imaging, and physical symptoms—often overlooking emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of health.
Medically unexplained symptoms can feel invalidating for patients; integrating emotional and behavioral health can offer real solutions.
Gratitude and mindset have measurable effects on health, as shown by research like the placebo effect and psychosocial studies.
True healing requires patients to take responsibility, not blame, for their health by addressing lifestyle, relationships, and emotional triggers.
A holistic approach doesn’t dismiss medical treatments but complements them with tools like cognitive behavioral therapy, emotional reframing, and community support.
Western medicine is making slow progress toward integrating these dimensions, and conversations like this one can help accelerate the shift.

Mindful Grieving: How to Honor Loss Without Losing Yourself with Tashia Martin

In this deeply moving episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with author, licensed social worker, and spiritual coach Tashia Martin to explore the concept of mindful grieving. Tashia shares her personal journey of losing more than 15 loved ones over three years and how prophetic messages she received before many of these losses left her overwhelmed and disconnected. Together, they discuss how to honor pain without letting it define us, the role of therapy and spirituality in healing, and practical strategies to process grief without guilt.

Jamie opens up about her journey from childhood trauma to transformation and explains how timeline therapy and NLP target the subconscious mind—the root of long-held beliefs and patterns.
This episode dives into how you can release limiting beliefs, stop self-sabotage loops, and anchor empowering emotions through simple yet effective practices. Jamie also demonstrates a quick anchoring exercise you can try right now to shift your inner state. If you’re ready for practical strategies to break free from emotional wounds and step into your personal power, this conversation will inspire and equip you.

Key Takeaways:
NLP and timeline therapy work with the subconscious mind, which governs 90% of our beliefs, habits, and emotions.
Anchoring helps connect positive emotional states to physical triggers, empowering you to access calm and confidence even during challenges.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, NLP can bring rapid shifts by addressing the root causes of anxiety, shame, and low self-worth.
Jamie shares how to use a simple thumb and forefinger anchoring technique to shift into a positive emotional state in minutes.
These practices are not about masking emotions but about creating behavioral flexibility and empowering you to respond with resilience.

Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation: Transforming Chaos into Calm with Samantha Jones Darling

In this powerful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana is joined by healer, grief guide, and author Samantha Jones Darling for a conversation on mindfulness, emotional regulation, and reclaiming your center in a chaotic world. Samantha shares deep insights from her book I Am Ready: Let That Ish Go and her personal journey through grief, spiritual growth, and self-restoration. Together, they discuss the importance of slowing down, embracing emotions, and why true healing starts from within. This conversation will inspire you to cultivate mindful practices that not only help you manage daily stress but also ripple out as positive change in the world.
About the Guest:Samantha Jones Darling is a grief guide, healer, and author dedicated to helping people reconnect with their souls. Through her books, international retreats, and her Lucky Life, Lucky You Book Club, she empowers others to release unprocessed grief, build emotional regulation, and create a soul-led life filled with purpose.
Key Takeaways:
Mindfulness isn’t about perfection; it’s about slowing down and returning to the present moment, even when life feels overwhelming.
Emotional regulation is a “muscle” that grows stronger with consistent practice, starting with small actions like slowing your breath and speech.
Suppressed emotions—especially grief—can create emotional and physical blockages; honoring emotions allows for deep healing.
True transformation begins when you “mind your own business” by focusing on your soul’s growth rather than caretaking others to avoid your own feelings.
Context and clarity matter: mindful pausing helps you decide when to speak up and when to stay silent in emotionally charged moments.

Transforming Dangerous Spaces into Healing Grounds through Art with Christopher Quigley

In this powerful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana speaks with artist, activist, and survivor Christopher Quigley about his groundbreaking project, Transformation of Dangerous Spaces. After surviving two life-altering strokes in 2023, Christopher chose to confront gender-based violence head-on by reimagining the overlooked spaces where harm often begins—locker rooms, bathrooms, and online platforms. Through his nonprofit, Alchemia Art Workshop, he creates immersive art installations that invite men and boys to confront harmful conditioning, break cultural silences, and reclaim these spaces for healing and accountability.
Christopher shares how his lived experiences and emotional transformation shaped the project’s vision and explains why trauma-informed practices were integral to its design. This episode dives deep into socialization, online radicalization, and the role of men in ending intimate partner violence. It’s a compelling conversation on art as a catalyst for systemic change and community healing.
About the Guest:Christopher Quigley is the founder of Alchemia Art Workshop and the visionary behind Transformation of Dangerous Spaces. His work combines art, activism, and lived experience to confront gender-based violence and reshape narratives around harm and healing.
Key Takeaways:
The Transformation of Dangerous Spaces project was born out of grief and a desire to reimagine overlooked spaces where harm begins.
Christopher’s own experiences with violence in locker rooms and bathrooms shaped his understanding of these environments as dangerous spaces.
Online platforms now play a major role in radicalizing young men and spreading misogynistic narratives.
Trauma-informed practices are central to the project, ensuring participants can process the installations safely.
Men must be active participants in ending gender-based violence; silence only allows harm to persist.
Art can create emotional entry points for uncomfortable but necessary conversations about accountability and healing.

Pain, Movement, and Mindful Recovery: How Physical Therapy Heals from the Inside Out with David Jeter

In this episode of The Mindful Living with Sana, we explore the real reasons behind chronic pain and how physical therapy can unlock long-term healing. Our guest, David Jeter, a highly experienced physical therapist, shares why pain doesn’t always equal injury and how treating the “why behind the what” leads to sustainable recovery. From proactive movement habits to integrating mindfulness techniques like breathwork and body awareness, David reveals how to heal beyond the pain point. We also discuss when surgery is truly necessary, the importance of mobility for overall musculoskeletal health, and why mindfulness can change how your body processes pain. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, recovering from injury, or simply want to prevent future issues, this episode is filled with practical tools to reconnect with your body.
About the Guest:David Jeter is an orthopedic physical therapist and founder of Start with PT. Known for his holistic approach, David focuses on uncovering root causes of pain and empowering patients through mobility, mindful recovery, and progressive movement programs. He practices at Acceleration Physical Therapy in Spokane, Washington, and is passionate about improving musculoskeletal health for long-term wellness.
Key Takeaways:
Pain is often a symptom, not the root cause—understanding biomechanics can prevent chronic issues.
Proactive physical therapy, mobility, and strength training build resilience and prevent injuries.
Mindfulness practices like breathwork and body scanning help rewire pain responses and lower stress in the nervous system.
Most patients benefit from starting with physical therapy before considering surgery; exceptions are emergency cases like fractures or severe nerve compression.
Small daily adjustments—hip and mid-back mobility, posture awareness, intentional movement—can maintain function and quality of life as we age.

Rebel Hugs and Radical Intuition: Healing Beyond Medicine with Melinda Lee Schmitt

In this deeply resonant episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Melinda Lee Schmitt—author of Rebel Hugger, empowerment coach, and intuitive guide—to explore the transformative power of intuition, self-trust, and authentic living. Melinda shares her journey of healing from multiple sclerosis, hugging thousands of strangers, and turning away from conventional medicine to embrace holistic and intuitive wellness.
We unpack what intuition feels like in the body, how it can lead us when logic fails, and why moments of surrender during major life transitions—divorce, illness, burnout—are not breakdowns, but breakthroughs. Melinda opens up about her spiritual connection with animals, especially a life-altering moment with a horse that helped her reclaim trust and authenticity.
Whether you’re navigating grief, disconnection, or simply wondering if there’s “more to life,” this episode is a gentle nudge toward tuning in to your inner compass and healing from within.
About the Guest:Melinda Lee Schmitt is an empowerment coach, intuitive healer, and author of Rebel Hugger. After healing from MS and embracing a radically authentic lifestyle, she now supports women in reclaiming their power using intuition, energy healing, and deep self-love. Her work includes animal communication, nature-based healing, and emotional coaching.
Key Takeaways :
Intuition is a subtle, body-based guide that grows clearer with practice and presence—not urgency or fear.
Melinda's MS diagnosis led her to shift away from Western medicine and embrace holistic healing through nutrition and homeopathy.
Her year-long experiment of hugging strangers started as an act of connection but revealed the deeper need for self-love and healing loneliness.
Nature and animals, especially horses, reflect our authenticity and can become powerful guides when we drop pretenses and tune into truth.
In seasons of silence or emotional fog, surrendering—rather than forcing answers—can be the doorway to transformation.
Melinda emphasizes that intuition isn’t “woo”—it’s a survival skill and inner compass available to everyone.
Her book Rebel Hugger documents her healing, connection, and return to authenticity.

Evict the Narc Within: Breaking Free from Internalized Shame with Emma Lyons

In this powerful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Emma Lyons, trauma-informed healer and creator of The Trauma Matrix, to decode the “inner narcissist”—the shaming voice many of us mistake for self-discipline or self-improvement. We explore how this internal critic often operates like a covert narcissist, subtly eroding our confidence and fueling cycles of perfectionism, burnout, and shame. Emma shares her signature “BREAK” framework that helps people dismantle this voice, reclaim their power, and thrive authentically. Whether you're stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, or feel imprisoned by internal shame, this episode invites you to break the trance and come back home to your true self.This is not just a conversation—it’s a call for radical self-liberation.
About the Guest – Emma Lyons:Emma Lyons is a trauma-informed healer and founder of The Trauma Matrix. Known for her bold take on internalized shame, Emma empowers women to dismantle the inner narcissist—the toxic shame voice disguised as self-discipline. She offers a transformative lens on trauma, emotional patterns, and healing beyond traditional therapy, helping clients evict shame and live with radical freedom.
Key Takeaways:
Emma introduces the concept of the “inner narcissist”—a shame-driven inner voice that mimics the traits of covert narcissism rather than being a wounded inner child.
Common therapy suggests empathizing with this voice, but Emma warns it often fuels self-destruction rather than healing.
She shares her BREAK framework:
B: Break the trance of shame
R: Refuse to engage using the DEEP method (Don’t Defend, Engage, Explain, or Personalize)
E: Expose the lie
A: Anchor in your body to feel safe
K: Kick it out—physically and energetically
Emma emphasizes that shame is a cultural tool used to suppress individuality and risk-taking. It’s often passed down unconsciously through family dynamics and social conditioning.
The path to healing? Refuse to feed the inner narcissist, stop explaining yourself, and thrive on your own terms.
