Mindfulness and Patience in Everyday Life with Samantha Kane
Wednesday Aug 20, 2025
Wednesday Aug 20, 2025
In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Samantha Kane, founder of Roots Wings Wellness, for a grounded conversation on mindfulness, patience, and the importance of slowing down in a fast-paced world. Samantha shares practical ways to pause, feel emotions deeply, and embrace universal nudges that guide us toward alignment. Together, they explore misconceptions about mindfulness, the ego-driven culture of constant hustle, and how true peace comes from embodying—not just preaching—our values. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance ambition with presence, this episode offers clarity and actionable wisdom for everyday life.
About the Guest:
Samantha Kane is the creator of Roots Wings Wellness, a platform dedicated to guiding individuals into deeper awareness and intentional living. With years of personal and professional experience, Samantha helps people step into stillness, embody spiritual practices, and cultivate patience without losing momentum in life.
Key Takeaways:
Mindfulness isn’t about escape—it’s about noticing and feeling each moment fully.
Slowing down allows us to receive intuitive messages and affirmations from the universe.
Avoiding uncomfortable feelings only creates hidden issues that resurface later.
Success without presence often leads to inner emptiness; balance requires soulful alignment.
Embodying your practices is more important than speaking them—authenticity matters.
Every person, regardless of gender, benefits from mindful practices rooted in humanity.
Patience is built when we break free from repetitive loops and take different, intentional actions.
Divine timing plays a role in growth; lessons unfold in each person’s unique way.

In this episode of The Mindful Living with Sana, Dr. Dean Howell—pioneer of NeuroCranial Restructuring (NCR)—challenges the conventional, symptom-focused approach to healthcare. Together, we explore how structural imbalances in the skull can affect not only physical function but also emotional stability, cognitive performance, and even spiritual depth. Dr. Howell shares the science behind NCR, why most cranial techniques fail to deliver lasting results, and how simple mechanical adjustments can unlock the body’s blueprint for optimal health. We also discuss the powerful synergy between mindfulness and structural healing, and how true wellness is about building lasting stability—not dependency on endless treatments.
This conversation is essential listening for anyone seeking deeper healing, whether you’re recovering from chronic pain, navigating mental health challenges, or looking to enhance your meditation practice.
About the Guest
Dr. Dean Howell is a naturopathic physician, innovator, and founder of NeuroCranial Restructuring. With over 40 years of clinical experience, he has helped thousands of patients address chronic pain, postural imbalances, breathing issues, learning disabilities, and more—by working directly with the structure of the skull and spine. His approach combines structural alignment with neurological balance to achieve lasting, whole-body results.
Key Takeaways
NCR works on the skull’s connective tissues to restore symmetry and release tension caused by trauma, stress, or injury.
Structural imbalances affect brain function, contributing to issues like double vision, ADHD, anxiety, and poor balance.
Conventional cranial therapies often offer temporary relief because they fail to address internal connective tissue restrictions.
Mindfulness and meditation can go deeper when the physical restrictions in the skull and neck are released.
True healing means reducing dependency—NCR includes measurable benchmarks (photos, alignment checks) to determine when treatment is no longer needed.
Postural symmetry creates effortless stability, reducing the body’s constant micro-adjustments and muscle tension.
Emotional stress can reverse structural gains, underscoring the link between mind, body, and connective tissue health.

In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Marina Passalaris, founder of Beautiful Minds, to explore how tech-free, nature-based experiences can transform family life. From her own journey of overcoming childhood agoraphobia to leading one of Australia’s largest family well-being initiatives, Marina shares practical tools for fostering resilience, emotional regulation, and deeper bonds between parents and children.
The conversation unpacks the importance of creating boundaries around technology, prioritizing presence, and viewing mental well-being as a shared family journey. Whether it’s a weekend retreat, a Sunday without screens, or a nightly family check-in, Marina offers actionable ways to bring more connection and calm into today’s fast-paced, digitally saturated lives.
About the Guest
Marina Passalaris is the founder of Beautiful Minds, Australia’s leading provider of family well-being programs. After overcoming chronic agoraphobia as a young girl, she dedicated her career to helping families reconnect, regulate emotions, and build resilience. Beautiful Minds offers retreats, workshops, and online programs across Australia and is expanding globally to the US, New Zealand, UK, and Singapore.
Key Takeaways
Family well-being thrives when approached as a shared experience, not an individual pursuit.
Technology isn’t the enemy—but clear, consistent boundaries are essential for balance.
Tech-free retreats help families reset, reconnect, and model presence for children.
Simple practices like Sunday screen-free days, nightly family dinners, and morning light exposure can transform emotional health.
Parents must lead by example, showing children how to self-regulate, communicate, and engage without constant digital distraction.
Accessibility matters—Beautiful Minds offers shorter, affordable workshops and online programs for broader reach.
The goal is not quick fixes but creating sustainable family habits that nurture joy, gratitude, and resilience.

In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana dives deep with Dr. Albert Charles Bramante — a rare triple-threat professional with over 20 years as a talent agent, a PhD in psychology, and certifications in NLP and hypnosis. Together, they explore how our identity is shaped by both internal and external forces, and how mindful communication can protect or erode our sense of self. From breaking the cycle of people-pleasing to dismantling self-sabotaging patterns, Dr. Bramante shares practical tools to stay authentic while navigating modern communication challenges. This conversation offers clarity on why identity matters, how to recognize when we’re molding ourselves for others, and the language shifts that can reframe our mindset for growth.
About the Guest:Dr. Albert Charles Bramante blends the worlds of performance, psychology, and human potential. With expertise in NLP, hypnosis, and high-performance coaching, he helps individuals break free from fear, imposter syndrome, and limiting self-beliefs. Drawing on decades of experience in the entertainment industry and psychology, his work empowers clients to step into their authentic selves while excelling in high-pressure environments.
Key Takeaways:
Identity is more than your job title — it includes heritage, values, roles, and self-perception.
Childhood and upbringing form the earliest layers of identity.
People-pleasing can dilute authenticity and lead to losing a true sense of self.
The cycle of people-pleasing often stems from fear of losing relationships.
Mindful communication begins with a pause — deep breathing or a short walk can defuse emotional reactions.
Misunderstandings often arise from perceived meaning rather than actual words.
Recognizing self-sabotage starts with mindfulness and external feedback.
Self-talk matters — add the word “yet” to reframe limitations into possibilities.
Shift from “I have to” to “I get to” for an empowering perspective.
Gratitude and reframing language are powerful tools for dismantling self-sabotaging patterns.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Florence Doisneau, self-realization coach and founder of Realize Unlimited, to explore the “Mindfulness Paradox” — how striving too hard for peace can actually keep us from it. Florence shares how addiction, anxiety, and inner turmoil can be approached not through control, but through curiosity and presence. Together, they unpack why mindfulness isn’t about chasing stillness, but about allowing it to emerge naturally. This conversation blends deep personal insight with practical wisdom on rewiring patterns, overcoming destructive habits, and reclaiming sovereignty over your life.
Whether you’re navigating recovery, burnout, or simply seeking more alignment, this episode offers a soulful recalibration and a reminder: you are not your behaviors; you are far more.
About the Guest:Florence Doisneau is a self-realization coach and founder of Realize Unlimited and The Realization Hub. Drawing from her own journey through struggle, she helps people move from survival mode to sovereign living, blending mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and resilience-building. Her work focuses on helping individuals stop outsourcing their peace and start embodying their truth.
Key Takeaways :
The Mindfulness Paradox: Striving for peace can create more mental noise; allowing stillness to arise naturally fosters deeper calm.
Healing Beyond the Finish Line: Self-awareness is a lifelong, unfolding journey—there’s no “final” point of healing.
Mind as Water Analogy: Like water, the mind settles when left undisturbed; forcing solutions often creates turbulence.
Addiction Redefined: Addiction isn’t always substance-based—it can be to emotions, behaviors, or states of mind.
Core Self vs. Ego Self: Understanding that you are not your thoughts or behaviors helps create space for transformation.
The Role of Community: Group settings can amplify insights and create collective energy for healing.
Sovereignty in Healing: True recovery is not just about sobriety—it’s about reclaiming autonomy over your life and choices.
Mindfulness in Chaos: Real practice shows when calm can be maintained amidst noise, pressure, or uncertainty.

In this deeply eye-opening episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Dr. Marissa Heisel—holistic health practitioner, chiropractor, and midwife with over 25 years of experience—to explore the radical yet timeless truth: You are your own best medicine. Together, they unpack how modern healthcare systems have conditioned people to distrust their bodies, the critical phases in a woman’s life where self-sovereignty is often undermined, and why healing starts from the inside out.
Dr. Marissa shares powerful insights into integrating natural healing modalities like bioenergetic therapy, essential oils, herbalism, and nutrition. She also offers a simple, no-cost daily practice to reconnect with your body and calm your mind. Whether you’re seeking to complement conventional care or step into a more empowered role in your wellness journey, this conversation will inspire you to trust your inner wisdom and reclaim your health authority.
About the Guest:Dr. Marissa Heisel is a holistic health practitioner specializing in chiropractic care, midwifery, and child development. For over two decades, she has guided women and families toward self-discovery, resilience, and conscious living. Drawing from natural healing traditions, she helps clients reconnect to their body’s innate wisdom, break cycles of dependency on external systems, and build vibrant health from within. Learn more at elementalhealingartslife.com.
Key Takeaways:
Healing isn’t just about eliminating symptoms—it’s about addressing root causes, healing trauma, and reclaiming your body’s innate intelligence.
The modern medical model often fosters dependency; self-healing empowers you to stand at the center of your care while still seeking professional input when needed.
Women are often targeted at key life stages—motherhood and midlife—to keep them disempowered; awareness is the first step to reclaiming authority over your health.
A simple starting practice: Sit quietly, place one hand on your chest and one on your belly, and focus on your breath—no special tools or training required.
Fear keeps the body from healing; calming the mind and reconnecting to the present moment is essential for wellness.
Integrative care allows space for both ancient healing systems and modern medicine, using each where it serves best.

In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Patty Durell—licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, Certified Conditioning Specialist, and founder of Rock Solid Fitness—to explore the overlooked mental side of strength. Patty shares how her High Intensity SAFE Strength Training™ method, just two 25-minute sessions a week, can help women in midlife transform their physical health, mental resilience, sleep quality, and stress levels. From breaking stereotypes about women lifting weights to reversing bone density loss without medication, this conversation is a practical guide for women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who want sustainable, effective fitness that empowers rather than exhausts.
About the Guest:Patty Durell is the creator of the High Intensity SAFE Strength Training™ method, designed to deliver maximum results in minimal time while protecting joint health. With over three decades in the field, she has helped countless women reverse chronic pain, improve bone density, and reclaim their confidence. Patty’s work focuses on science-backed training, realistic routines, and the mindset shift needed to see fitness as empowerment, not punishment.
Key Takeaways:
Physical and mental strength are deeply connected—challenging the body builds mental resilience for life’s stresses.
Strength training in midlife helps improve mood, reduce stress, and promote deeper, restorative sleep.
Safe, high-intensity sessions just twice a week can deliver better results than frequent, high-volume workouts while protecting joints.
Bone density loss isn’t inevitable; safe weight-bearing exercise can help reverse it, even in the 70s.
Mindset matters—seeing yourself as your own top priority changes how you approach health and fitness.
Sustainable health comes from four pillars: effective strength training, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and supportive relationships (including with yourself).

Key Takeaways
Identity disruptions — whether personal, professional, or cultural — can be destabilizing, but they offer a chance to realign life with personal values.
Routines are powerful; they can protect us in times of trauma but may need to be “retired” when they no longer serve us.
Anchoring identity in values (lifelong learning, outward mindset, presence) provides a more resilient foundation than tying it solely to roles or titles.
Mindfulness practices — from breath awareness to gratitude — help redirect attention away from reactive emotions and toward constructive action.
Cultural duality, though sometimes disorienting, can be a strength, offering diverse perspectives and richer interpersonal connections.
Self-compassion and revisiting past traumas with kindness can release outdated protective patterns and foster personal growth.
Vision-led routines — such as physical practices to maintain long-term vitality — ensure alignment between present actions and future goals.

In this eye-opening episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana is joined by Steve Frazier—author, behavioral change strategist, and founder of the "Release the Coffee Cuffs" coaching program. Together, they unpack the hidden science behind caffeine addiction, withdrawal cycles, adrenal fatigue, and disrupted sleep that millions silently suffer from. Whether you're a coffee lover, energy drink devotee, or someone struggling with fatigue and poor sleep, this episode invites you to rethink your relationship with caffeine.
This is not about canceling coffee; it’s about making informed and empowered choices for your body, mind, and energy levels. Steve shares not only the physiological effects of caffeine on cortisol, adenosine, and dopamine but also the emotional and generational programming that keeps us hooked. If you've ever said “Don’t talk to me before my coffee,” this one’s for you.
About the Guest:Steve Frazier is the founder of Release the Coffee Cuffs, a coaching program that helps people quit caffeine without quitting life. He’s an author and behavioral change expert who teaches how caffeine hijacks our natural energy systems. His upcoming book Winning the Battle with Caffeine explores the addiction cycle and offers real solutions.
Key Takeaways :
Caffeine doesn’t energize—it exhausts you by disrupting cortisol and adenosine cycles, keeping your body in a simulated “fight or flight” mode.
Many people unknowingly operate in a constant state of adrenal stress and poor sleep quality, leading to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and hormonal imbalance.
Long-term caffeine use is linked to adrenal fatigue, calcium/magnesium depletion, fertility issues, menstrual irregularities, and even sleep disorders.
Caffeine withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and brain fog can indicate physiological dependence.
A simple first step to regain natural energy is to stop caffeine intake after 12 PM and slowly taper rather than quit cold turkey.
Steve emphasizes the importance of sleep as a foundation for healing, hormone regulation, and natural energy production.
His coaching program and upcoming book provide tools like subconscious reprogramming, detox protocols, and personalized withdrawal plans.
Cultural and familial habits, such as associating coffee with productivity or adulthood, subtly reinforce dependency over generations.
