The Mindful Living

Releasing Disempowering Beliefs with Neuroscience-Based Coaching | Barbara Palmer

In this episode of The Mindful Living with host Sana, certified health and executive life coach Barbara Palmer joins us to explore how disempowering thoughts and limiting beliefs silently shape our identity, relationships, and success. Together, we dive into the roots of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the “I’m not enough” mindset—beliefs often formed before age seven. Barbara shares how the neuroscience-based MAP (Make Anything Possible) method helps clear these old patterns and opens space for growth, resilience, and authenticity. This conversation is a powerful reminder that mindful living isn’t about erasing the past, but learning to work with it consciously.

With a background in occupational therapy, higher education, and Christian counseling, Barbara now specializes in helping executives, leaders, and professionals break free from limiting beliefs using neuroscience-driven coaching tools like MAP and Mind Movie Transformation.

Key Takeaways:
Disempowering beliefs like “I’m not enough,” “I don’t belong,” or “I’m not worthy” often form in childhood and unconsciously shape adult behavior.
Imposter syndrome and overachievement are common signs of these false identities.
Neuroscience-based tools such as the MAP method can gently neutralize limiting beliefs without erasing valuable life lessons.
Painful memories don’t have to fuel success through struggle—growth can come from clarity, self-compassion, and aligned action.
Mindful living is about presence and awareness, not perfection—it asks us to pause, notice, and release what no longer serves us.
Transformation happens when we consciously choose to steer our lives, instead of letting old stories drive us.
Mirror work and intentional self-recognition (“I love you”) are practical ways to build self-worth and compassion daily.

The Power of Sisterhood in Healing Burnout with Valerie Pedigo

In this episode of The Mindful Living with host Sana, we explore why healing is not meant to be done alone. My guest, Valerie Pedigo, founder of Renewed Spirit Adventures, shares her personal journey through burnout, illness, and rediscovery—and why community became her lifeline. We discuss the hidden costs of high-achieving culture, the stigma around self-care, and how sisterhood circles create safety, belonging, and transformation. From science-backed insights on co-regulation to deeply personal stories of women reclaiming joy, this conversation challenges the narrative of silent sacrifice and shows why collective healing is the future of wellness.
About the Guest:
Valerie Pedigo is the founder of Renewed Spirit Adventures and the Renewed Spirit Sisterhood, a global community helping women prevent, identify, and recover from burnout. Through retreats, workshops, and community circles, Valerie combines science and spirituality to create spaces where women feel safe, supported, and empowered to reclaim their authentic selves.
Key Takeaways:
Healing happens faster and deeper in community, not in isolation.
Burnout often shows up in the body through illness, disconnection, or exhaustion—sometimes silently.
Societal systems condition women to self-sacrifice, but true strength comes from authenticity and aligned living.
Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s a necessity for building sustainable families, careers, and communities.
Community circles provide guardrails for healthy vulnerability, creating balance between sharing trauma and inspiring hope.
Sisterhood offers scientific benefits like nervous system regulation and emotional resilience, as well as spiritual nourishment.
Healing is about integration—carrying lessons from retreats and circles into everyday life.
Both women and men face systemic pressures; collective healing requires addressing both.

Mindful Movement, Brain Training, and the 21-Minute Workout (Twice a Week) with PJ Glassey

On The Mindful Living, host Sana talks with PJ Glassey (XGym) about replacing “mindless” sets-and-reps with time-under-tension, form-first, slow, controlled movement that doubles as active meditation. We cover why two 21-minutesessions per week can rival hours of traditional training, how prefrontal cortex engagement improves coordination, decision-making, and habit change, and practical cues to turn a basic squat into brain-body training. If you want functional fitness, better focus, and sustainable results without living in the gym, this conversation is direct, evidence-minded, and immediately usable.
About the guest:
PJ Glassey is the founder of XGym (Kirkland, WA & online), creator of a mindful, time-under-tension strength method that integrates neuroscience with exercise to build functional strength, coordination, and cognitive control in minimal time.
Key takeaways:
Mindful > mindless: Slow, precise reps with constant focus turn strength work into active meditation, reinforcing brain circuits tied to control and coordination.
21 minutes, twice weekly: PJ’s protocol emphasizes time under tension to complete muscle fatigue, delivering functional results with far less volume.
Form is the driver: Neutral spine, deliberate tempo (~7s down / pause / ~7s up), and limited lockout keep muscles engaged and the prefrontal cortex online.
Brain benefits: Consistent focus strengthens PFC function (impulse control, decision-making) and improves motor cortex efficiency—making new skills easier to learn.
Coordination carries over: Clients report better performance in real-world activities (e.g., golf, paddle boarding) due to improved neuro-muscular “conversation.”
Meditation reframed: Drifting attention isn’t failure; bringing it back is the “rep.” The same principle applies during mindful strength work.
Who it’s for: Anyone seeking functional fitness, longevity, and habit change without bodybuilding volume; bodybuilders still benefit from traditional methods for aesthetics.
Try it today: Start with mindful squats—tempo, posture, breath, and full attention—before adding load or complexity.
How to connect with the guest:
Website: XGym.com (social links at the bottom of the homepage)
Programs: In-person (Kirkland, WA) and online training/app options available via the site.

Mindfulness in the Storm: How Presence Rebuilds a Life After Loss, Addiction, and Job Upheaval with Daniel Anderson

On the The Mindful Living Podcast with host Sana, personal alignment coach Daniel Anderson breaks down how mindfulness becomes a lifeline in real crisis—job loss, addiction recovery, divorce, grief, and near-homelessness. He explains his LEGACY Code for getting back into alignment, setting boundaries that hold, and choosing presence over panic. This is a direct, practical conversation for anyone navigating turmoil and ready to move from survival mode to deliberate living. 
About the guest:
Daniel Anderson is a personal alignment coach, father, and creator of the LEGACY Code, a framework that helps high-achieving but unfulfilled people release inherited beliefs, set firm boundaries, and live from the “real you.” He shares hard-won lessons from addiction, divorce, job loss, and grief—translating them into grounded tools for everyday clarity.
Key takeaways:
Presence over panic: In acute stress, anchor in the present; the future is a projection and the past is memory—your leverage is now.
The LEGACY Code (Daniel’s framework):
L – Look at what’s no longer working.
E – Empty the noise and inherited beliefs.
G – Get honest about what you want (drop the “I’m fine” script).
A – Act in alignment with what truly matters.
C – Create boundaries that hold.
Y – Yield to the real you / higher self.
Reframing setbacks: Treat layoffs, breakups, and grief as catalysts to recalibrate values, routines, and relationships.
Silence as strategy: Stillness and journaling reduce mental clutter and surface next steps.
From victim to author: Shift inner language from “why me?” to “what is this making possible?”
Faith and support: Spiritual practice, community, and trusted friends are protective factors in recovery and resilience.
Parenting through loss: Show up for yourself so you can show up for family with steadiness and clarity.

Living as a Whole Human: Soft Power, Boundaries, and “HER Essence Remembered” with Teresa Thomas-Smith

On this The Mindful Living Podcast episode, host Sana explores what it really means to live as a whole human—with integrity, softness, and clarity—alongside Teresa Thomas-Smith, leadership coach and Mayor of Palmetto, Georgia. Teresa unpacks feminine leadership without hard-edge posturing, how to set non-negotiable boundaries, why surrender often beats strategy, and the difference between branded authenticity and embodied truth. Practical, direct, and applicable for leaders, creators, and professionals.
About the Guest:
Teresa Thomas-Smith is the first woman to serve as Mayor of Palmetto, Georgia and a leadership coach behind TransformHer and Peaceful Soul Life Coaching. Her framework centers on “Leadership — HER Essence Remembered,” helping women lead with softness, color, and confidence—without abandoning themselves.
Key Takeaways:
“Whole human” leadership: stop fragmenting yourself to fit legacy models; show up the same person in public and private.
Softness is strength: feminine energy (nurturing, collaborative, steady) can outperform hard-edge performance culture.
Surrender vs. strategy: release image management and listen for inner alignment; clarity follows.
Boundaries teach others how to treat you; correct misalignment the first time.
Titles don’t define identity: be yourself who happens to hold a role, not a role that swallows the self.
Authenticity is a continuum: allow yourself (and others) to evolve; don’t hold anyone hostage to yesterday’s version.
“Just do it” mindset shift: change the narrative from “why not” to “I will,” then act in small, repeatable steps.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable: discomfort often signals you’re on the right growth edge.
Aspirations over struggle goals: honor 1,000 small steps; avoid microwave fixes to crockpot problems.
Practical cue: if the packaging (clothes, style) changes nothing about the work, stop policing presentation—focus on outcomes.

Go BONKERS: Self-Advocacy, Resilience, and a Realistic Path to Healing with Allison Pazuk

When a late-night ER visit revealed a cancer diagnosis, former career teacher Allison Pazuk refused to be a passive patient. In this direct, no-fluff conversation on The Mindful Living, host Sana digs into Allison’s BONKERS framework: Brave, Open, Non-conforming, Kick-ass, Emotional, Resilient, and Self-advocacy. We unpack how mindset, meditation, research, and informed choices can sit alongside conventional care without drifting into toxic positivity or conspiracy. If you’re navigating fear, treatment plans, or conflicting advice, this episode shows how to ask better questions, set boundaries, and become the CEO of your own body and life—practically, not perfectly. 
About the guest:
Allison Pazuk is a perseverance strategist and author who turned her “mess into a mission.” After her cancer diagnosis, she studied long-term survivor stories and distilled common threads into the BONKERS framework—now the basis of her writing and talks on courage, clarity, and informed self-advocacy. 
Key takeaways :
Own the room: Self-advocacy isn’t rudeness—it’s clarity. Ask direct questions until you understand options, risks, and trade-offs.
BONKERS in practice:
Brave: challenge assumptions and titles; request plain-language explanations.
Open: study people who are where you want to be; evaluate what resonates.
Non-conforming: protocols are templates, not shackles; personalize ethically and with medical input.
Kick-ass: act from self-belief, not panic.
Emotional: meet the mirror with honesty; regulate stress; cultivate calm.
Resilient: progress without applause; measure by alignment, not speed.
Self-advocacy (non-negotiable): you’re the CEO—coordinate your “departments” (mind, body, soul).
Mindset ≠ denial: Strength isn’t blind optimism; it’s informed courage plus continuous reflection.
Whole-person lens: Many long-term stories include nutrition changes, stress reduction, meditation, and purpose work alongside medical care. Consider these as personal supports, not universal prescriptions.
Evidence and ethics: Before adopting any adjunct practice or supplement, consult qualified clinicians, review credible sources, and assess interactions with ongoing treatments.
Process over perfection: Healing is non-linear; curiosity, boundaries, and consistent questions keep you moving.
All health practices shared here are strictly personal experiences, not advice. We recommend listeners consult their medical team before any change.

Trauma, Anxiety & the Nervous System: Chinese Medicine, Reiki, and Practical Healing with Lori Maher

On this The Mindful Living Podcast conversation with host Sana, trauma recovery coach and bodyworker Lori Maher breaks down nervous-system dysregulation in plain language and shares how Chinese medicine, acupressure/shiatsu, Reiki, yoga, and daily self-care helped her move from constant anxiety to steadier living. We get specific about “fight/flight/freeze,” the “window of tolerance,” what energy work actually looks like, and how to build a grounded, self-led healing practice without dismissing conventional care. This episode is for anyone curious about trauma-informed healing, somatic tools, and integrating Eastern and Western approaches.
About the guest:
Lori Maher is a trauma recovery coach, Reiki Master, acupressure/shiatsu practitioner, and yoga teacher with 25+ years of experience. Through her practice, State of Grace Wellness, she supports clients in recalibrating the nervous system, moving stored emotion, and rebuilding trust in their bodies.
Key takeaways:
Nervous-system dysregulation is common; knowing your signs of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn is the first step to intervening.
The “window of tolerance” is the zone where you feel present, clear, and steady; notice when you’re edging out of it and use tools to return.
Somatic and energy practices Lori uses (acupressure/shiatsu, Reiki, yoga, breath) help move stuck patterns and support regulation.
Education matters: understanding trauma responses is empowering and reduces fear.
Self-care is not optional for survivors; build a non-negotiable daily practice.
Personal story: after Epstein-Barr/mono and chronic anxiety, consistent acupressure and Reiki over months helped Lori feel roughly “80% better,” motivating long-term practice.
Eastern and Western models can coexist; medication can be appropriate for some, and personal agency remains central.
Replace “fixing yourself” with building a new relationship to your experiences; healing is an ongoing practice, not a finish line.

Plant-Based Clarity, Creativity, and Compassionate Health with Dr. Will Tuttle

On The Mindful Living with host Sana, Dr. Will Tuttle—author of the international bestseller The World Peace Diet and former Zen monk—breaks down how everyday choices around food, stillness, and relationships shape our health and our impact. We unpack plant-based nutrition, the role of organic and minimally processed foods, daily silence and meditation, and how creativity (music, art, writing) lifts mood, reduces cravings, and supports long-term well-being. Direct, practical, and values-aligned, this conversation links personal healing to collective compassion—without the fluff.
About the Guest:
Dr. Will Tuttle is a visionary author, educator, pianist, and longtime advocate for compassionate, plant-based living. His books include The World Peace Diet and The World Peace Way. He tours globally with lectures, music, and workshops that integrate mindfulness, nutrition, and creativity. Learn more at worldpeacediet.com
Key Takeaways:
Food is more than fuel: choosing plant-based, minimally processed, and organic foods can support energy, digestion, and clarity.
Many nutrients people seek from animal products originate in plants; centering meals on vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and tubers can meet needs.
Daily quiet time—gratitude, meditation, gentle movement, journaling—resets the nervous system and anchors choices throughout the day.
Creativity (music, art, writing, dance, building things) is a health practice: it reduces reliance on unhealthy coping behaviors and fosters meaning.
Relationships mirror our mindset; practicing compassion, non-reaction, and “boomerang” kindness strengthens connection and reduces stress.
Intentional media “diet” matters: avoid fear-based, low-value inputs and consume uplifting, evidence-based content.
Nature-aligned living—local food where possible, time outdoors, regular movement—reinforces mental and physical well-being.
Alignment of values and actions builds integrity; seeing beings (human and non-human) with respect nurtures community health.
Practical start: add one plant-forward meal daily, schedule two short silence blocks (morning/evening), and do 15 minutes of creativity—consistently.
Progress over perfection: small, repeatable habits compound into sustainable change.

Resolving Thyroid Problems at the Root: Autoimmunity, Gut Health, and Insurance Realities with Dr. Kevin Smith

On The Mindful Living podcast, host Avik sits down with Dr. Kevin Smith, functional medicine practitioner and clinical director of the Chronic Conditions Center (Pennsylvania), to dissect why so many people feel “normal labs” yet live with fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight, and aches. We cover thyroid health, Hashimoto’s autoimmunity, the gut–thyroid–immune loop, lifestyle triggers (stress, blood sugar, hormones, inflammation), and Dr. Smith’s take on insurance-driven care. You’ll hear a direct, BS-free conversation about practical next steps: deeper testing, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and when medications are necessary versus when root-cause work should lead. If you’re navigating chronic symptoms and want a clearer plan, this episode is for you.
About the Guest:
Dr. Kevin Smith has practiced functional medicine since 2001 and leads the Chronic Conditions Center in Bethel Park, PA. He speaks and writes on simplifying complex health science and applying a root-cause approach to chronic conditions.
Key Takeaways :
Many persistent “low thyroid” symptoms may involve autoimmunity (Hashimoto’s) and non-thyroid triggers(blood sugar imbalance, cortisol/stress, sex hormones, inflammation, gut issues, toxic load).
Relying on a single marker like TSH misses context; broader assessment (antibodies, nutrients, metabolic and inflammatory markers, GI health) can guide personalized care.
Gut health influences thyroid and mood: nutrient absorption, immune regulation, and neurotransmitter production are interconnected.
Lifestyle (nutrition quality, sleep consistency, movement, stress tools like meditation) is foundational; medications can be essential for acute/critical issues, but chronic conditions often need behavioral and systems-level changes.
Managing stress and blood sugar helps stabilize hormones and energy; unresolved stress can blunt thyroid function and recovery.
Patients can advocate for deeper evaluation and make measured investments in health outside insurance constraints when appropriate.
Claims about “detox” and supplements require caution; pair any protocol with professional guidance and evidence-based monitoring.
Always consult a qualified clinician before changing medications or treatment plans.
