  • How to Quit Alcohol and Build a New Identity | Cat Greenleaf

    Send us Fan Mail

    Quitting alcohol is often framed as a matter of willpower, but what if the real challenge is much deeper? For many people, drinking is closely tied to emotional regulation, identity, and how we cope with stress, disconnection, and external pressure. In today’s culture, alcohol is often normalized as a way to unwind, making it even harder to recognize when it’s no longer serving you.

    In this episode, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with Cat Greenleaf, former television host and current host of the Soberness Podcast, to explore the deeper psychological side of sobriety and personal transformation. From breaking habitual patterns to navigating emotional discomfort, this conversation looks at what it really takes to stop drinking and rebuild your life in a meaningful way.

    Cat shares her personal journey through addiction and recovery, offering insight into how external validation, lifestyle patterns, and emotional avoidance can keep people stuck. We also explore how developing emotional awareness becomes a turning point, allowing you to better understand your triggers, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and intentional way.

    You’ll also hear practical perspectives on identity change, letting go of old versions of yourself, and rebuilding self-trust over time. If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol or felt caught in patterns that don’t align with who you want to be, this conversation offers a more honest and sustainable path forward.

  • Working Mom Burnout and Always-On Work Culture: Why Women Are Reaching a Breaking Point.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Working mom burnout is often framed as a personal issue, but what if the real problem is the workplace itself? In today’s culture, the expectation to always be available has created an environment where work never fully turns off, leading to chronic stress, burnout, and disconnection.

    In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Supatra Tovar continues her discussion with Alexa Starks, founder of Executive Moms, to explore the deeper systemic drivers of burnout in working mothers and high-performing women. From constant digital availability to unrealistic workplace expectations, this episode breaks down how modern work culture is contributing to mental health challenges and unsustainable pressure.

    Alexa shares what she sees behind the scenes with leaders and organizations, including how lack of trust, poor management, and authoritarian leadership styles create toxic work environments. We also explore the concept of psychological safety, why compassion is a critical leadership skill, and how supportive workplaces lead to stronger performance, retention, and long-term success.

    You’ll also hear practical guidance for navigating maternity leave, returning to work, and advocating for yourself in environments that may not naturally offer support. If you’ve ever felt like you have to choose between your career and your well-being, this conversation offers a more realistic and sustainable path forward.

  • Working Mom Burnout, Maternity Leave, and Returning to Work Explained | Alexa Starks

    Send us Fan Mail

    Why do working moms experience burnout, stress, and overwhelm after returning to work? In this episode, Dr. Supatra Tovar explores the reality of work life balance, working mom stress, and postpartum mental health. Many women are expected to perform at full capacity immediately after maternity leave, despite sleep deprivation, emotional strain, and major life transitions. This conversation breaks down why burnout in women is so common and how workplace culture continues to fall short in supporting mothers.

    Dr. Tovar is joined by Alexa Starks, workplace culture innovator, leadership strategist, and founder of Executive Moms. After more than a decade in corporate operations and navigating her own return to work after having children, Alexa now works with organizations to create parent-forward workplaces that support career growth, retention, and flexibility for working parents.

    In this episode, you’ll learn why returning to work after maternity leave can feel overwhelming, how postpartum mental health and stress impact performance, and why many women don’t feel safe advocating for their needs in the workplace. Alexa also shares how outdated workplace systems contribute to burnout and what structured reentry and supportive leadership should actually look like.

  • Emotional Darkness, Trauma, and How Transformation Really Happens | Dr. Richard LaBrie

    Send us Fan Mail

    Emotional intensity, trauma, and the darker aspects of the human experience are often misunderstood as pathology or weakness. In reality, these experiences can be powerful entry points for transformation, self-awareness, and psychological growth. In this episode, we explore how trauma shapes identity, why emotional darkness is part of the human condition, and how curiosity can replace self-judgment in the healing process.

    Dr. Richard LaBrie, clinical psychologist and author, returns to discuss the deeper themes behind his latest poetry collection. His work blends psychotherapy, creativity, and lived experience to explore rage, shame, isolation, and hope. Drawing from both clinical insight and artistic expression, he offers a unique perspective on how we process emotional pain and move toward wholeness.

    This conversation unpacks the psychological toll of modern life, including technology overload, cultural pressure, and emotional fragmentation. We explore the concept of “hopeful skepticism,” the role of curiosity in healing, and how confronting uncomfortable emotions can lead to growth rather than avoidance. Dr. LaBrie also shares insights on creativity, flow states, and how transformation often requires moving through darkness rather than bypassing it.

    If you’ve ever struggled with overwhelming emotions, questioned your inner experience, or wondered how to turn pain into meaning, this episode offers a grounded and deeply human perspective. Watch, reflect, and subscribe for more conversations on psychology, health, and personal transformation.

  • Emotional Intensity vs Mental Illness and How to Understand Yourself | Dr. Richard LaBrie

    Send us Fan Mail

    Trauma healing, emotional regulation, and the psychology of creativity are deeply connected, yet often misunderstood. In this episode, we explore how emotional intensity, anxiety, and creative expression can be mistaken for mental illness, and how understanding the emotional healing process can help you reconnect with yourself. This conversation unpacks trauma healing, emotional growth, and the fine line between diagnosis and simply being human.

    Dr. Richard LaBrie, clinical psychologist and author of The Alchemy of Blood, returns to the podcast to share his unique perspective on psychotherapy, creativity, and emotional transformation. His work bridges trauma healing, narrative identity, and the deeper psychological journey of turning pain into meaning, offering both clinical insight and creative depth.

    We discuss how trauma and emotional experiences shape identity, why creativity can look like anxiety or even bipolar symptoms, and how clinicians can sometimes misinterpret emotional intensity. Dr. LaBrie shares powerful insights on emotional regulation, the role of storytelling in healing, and how creative expression can support resilience, self-awareness, and psychological growth.

    If you are interested in trauma healing, emotional regulation, creativity and mental health, or understanding yourself on a deeper level, this episode offers a thoughtful and nuanced perspective. Be sure to subscribe, follow the podcast, and stay tuned for part two of this conversation.

  • Oxygen Therapy & Red Light Therapy for Chronic Illness Recovery | Boost Energy, Brain Fog & Healing

    Send us Fan Mail

    Chronic illness recovery often requires looking beyond conventional approaches and exploring how the body produces and uses energy at a cellular level. In this episode, we explore how oxygen therapy and red light therapy may support healing by improving mitochondrial function, increasing energy production, and addressing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation.

    Brad Pitzele, founder of 1000 Roads, shares his personal journey through Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, and chronic fatigue. Drawing from both lived experience and deep research, he explains how Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and red and near infrared light therapy became central to his recovery and ultimately inspired his work helping others access these tools.

    This conversation breaks down the science in a clear and practical way, including how red and near infrared light stimulate mitochondria, why oxygen delivery matters for cellular repair, and how combining these therapies may accelerate healing. Brad also shares what to look for in quality devices, common misconceptions in the market, and how to navigate treatment options safely and effectively.

    If you are navigating chronic illness, fatigue, or looking to optimize your energy and health, this episode offers a grounded, science-informed perspective.

  • Can Oxygen Therapy Help Fatigue, Brain Fog, and Chronic Illness?

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if fatigue, brain fog, and chronic stress are not signs that something is wrong, but signals your body is asking for support? 

    In this episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, we explore how oxygen therapy and exercise with oxygen therapy can play a role in supporting energy, reducing inflammation, and improving overall resilience. This conversation reframes stress as feedback from the body and highlights how sustainable health begins when we learn to respond rather than control.

    Dr. Supatra Tovar is joined by Brad Pitzele, founder of 1000 Roads, whose work focuses on making oxygen and light-based therapies more accessible. His journey is deeply personal. After years of misdiagnosis and navigating autoimmune arthritis, cancer, and Lyme disease, he began exploring alternative approaches to healing. His experience led him to discover how improving oxygen utilization could support both physical and cognitive recovery.

    This episode explores how oxygen supports cellular health, energy production, and brain function. It also examines the connection between low oxygen levels and inflammation, and how this may contribute to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and long-term health challenges. By understanding how the body uses oxygen, listeners gain a new perspective on healing that is rooted in physiology and aligned with a more sustainable approach to health and well-being.

    Send us Fan Mail

    What if staying calm under pressure isn’t about pushing harder, but about learning how to regulate your nervous system?

    In this episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar sits down with certified wellness and somatic practitioner and nervous system coach Karen Ann Canham to explore simple, effective tools you can use in real time to manage stress. 

    Whether you’re navigating a demanding workday, high-stakes decisions, or moments of overwhelm, your nervous system plays a central role in how you think, feel, and perform.

    Karen shares accessible techniques used by a somatic practitioner, including gentle vagus nerve stimulation, grounding through a “safety anchor,” and quick body scan practices that help shift you out of stress and back into a regulated state.

    These tools take seconds to implement and can create meaningful changes in your ability to stay focused, present, and resilient.

    We also discuss the impact of unprocessed stress, including burnout, brain fog, and emotional reactivity, and how working with a somatic practitioner approach can support both mental clarity and long-term health.

    If you are a high achiever, leader, or someone who feels constantly “on,” our conversation offers practical strategies to help you regulate in the moment and perform at your best.

  • Why High Achievers Stay in Survival Mode (And How to Reset the Nervous System)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Many successful professionals appear confident, productive, and in control, yet internally they often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly under pressure.

    In this episode of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar speaks with Certified Wellness and Somatic Practitioner Karen Ann Canham about why high achievers frequently live in chronic stress without realizing it.

    Karen shares her personal journey from recovering from anorexia while climbing the corporate ladder to discovering nervous system regulation, the approach that ultimately transformed how she experienced stress and emotional reactivity.

    Together, they explore why many ambitious professionals spend most of their lives operating from their heads rather than their bodies. This disconnect can lead to cycles of overworking, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and eventual burnout.

    Karen explains how nervous system awareness helps people move out of survival mode and into a more regulated state where they can think clearly, respond calmly, and perform more sustainably.

    Want to know more about Karen Ann Canham? Here are her social media links: https://www.karenannwellness.com/, https://www.instagram.com/karenann_wellness/, https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenannwellness. 

    Dr. Tovar and Karen also discuss how childhood attachment patterns can shape perfectionism, people pleasing, and achievement driven behavior. Through somatic awareness and simple grounding practices, people can begin to recognize these patterns and respond to stress in healthier ways.

    This conversation offers practical insight into how nervous system regulation can improve emotional resilience, leadership presence, and overall wellbeing.

In this powerful conversation, Dr Supatra Tovar sits down with Brad, Co Founder, to unpack how information overload in modern healthcare is leading to confusion, inaction, and reactive treatment models. From conflicting cholesterol research to the realities inside nursing homes, they explore how people are overwhelmed by mixed messages and unsure what steps to take for real prevention.

    Brad shares why education may be the most important missing piece in healthcare today and how empowering individuals with clear, science backed knowledge could shift the system from symptom management to long term vitality. This episode challenges listeners to rethink what true health support really looks like.
