When rest feels unsafe, it’s not laziness—it’s protection. In Healing Mindset, hosted by Nazish, Leslie Draffin explores why healing isn’t about fixing yourself, but rebuilding safety in the body.

This episode is for high-achieving women who look “fine” on the outside but feel wired, tired, or disconnected inside. You’ll hear simple, body-first ways to soften survival mode, reconnect with pleasure and presence, and start small rituals that actually stick.

Leslie Draffin is a certified trauma-informed somatic practitioner and psychedelic guide supporting women in nervous system healing, embodiment, and self-trust. She also shares a free 9-minute ritual called “Shift.”

00:00 The exhaustion sleep can’t fix

04:10 When the body remembers what the mind moved past

07:45 Healing as a spiral—not a straight line

11:30 Ritual as nervous-system safety (not aesthetics)

15:50 Flight + fawn: the hidden loop of high-functioning women

20:40 A 5-minute “play” ritual for exhausted days

25:30 Consistency over intensity: what changes with repetition

1. Track “flight vs fawn” patterns—hustle vs people-pleasing.
2. Use ritual to anchor the senses: breath, movement, scent, light.
3. Start with play (5 minutes): art, bubbles, music, body oil—no pressure.
4. Rest isn’t a reward; it’s the foundation your nervous system needs.
5. Go slow: intensity can overwhelm a stressed system.

In Healing Mindset, hosted by Nazish, we explore a tender question: How much of our healing—body and soul—was shaped by gender before we ever noticed? Carlijn Krijger joins us to unpack what changes when we stop flattening differences and start seeing what each of us genuinely needs.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in roles—overfunctioning, self-protecting, avoiding help, or performing “strength.” You’ll leave with grounded ways to notice your patterns, reclaim what you’ve been suppressing, and rebuild health and spirituality with more truth and ease.

Carlijn Krijger supports people—especially women—in reconnecting with embodiment, honest self-expression, and practical health. She speaks about feminine/masculine dynamics, receiving support, and taking small, sustainable steps toward change.

1. 00:00 The hidden ways gender shapes healing and spirituality
2. 03:10 “Something was missing”: discovering the feminine in lived experience
3. 07:05 The myth of “being the same” and what gets erased
4. 11:20 Help, receiving, and why independence can become isolation
5. 16:10 Women, subtlety, and the “looping mind” vs. practical simplicity
6. 21:05 Embodiment as a bridge: dance, yoga, daily life
7. 26:10 Reclaiming suppressed parts through small, doable steps

1. Notice where you’re “performing strength” instead of meeting a real need.
2. Practice receiving: ask for one small favor this week and observe what shifts.
3. Use a “gradient”: choose the next slightly uncomfortable step, not a leap.
4. Build embodiment into your day—movement, breath, posture, presence.
5. Reduce spiritual noise: prioritize quiet honesty over trendy techniques.

What if healing isn’t something we chase—but something we allow? On Healing Mindset, hosted by Nazish, we explore energy healing as a grounded, lived practice that starts inside the body, the heart, and the mind.

This episode is for anyone feeling “off” spiritually or emotionally, but unsure where to begin. Stuart Perrin shares why inner training matters, what tends to drain our energy, and how meditation can become a steady path toward clarity, compassion, and inner balance—without forcing change.

Stuart Perrin is an American spiritual teacher of Rudra Meditation, teaching meditation and spiritual practice for over 40 years. He focuses on bridging inner energetic awareness with everyday life.

1. 00:00 — Healing as allowing, not chasing
2. 03:10 — “Spiritual malnourishment” and why imbalance grows
3. 08:05 — The inner-source idea: stop “fixing the mirror”
4. 12:40 — What blocks energy: mind, emotions, and life-force energy
5. 17:30 — Meditation as training: patience, practice, and inner mastery
6. 22:10 — A recovery story and what “healing” really means
7. 27:20 — Where to learn: book, classes, videos, and contact

1. Notice where you live most: in your head, your emotions, or your body.
2. Practice calming the mind daily; tension drains energy fast.
3. Work with emotions gently—aim for compassion over suppression.
4. Treat healing as inner growth, not just symptom-fixing.
5. Choose a meditation method and stay consistent over intensity.

In Healing Mindset, hosted by Nazish, we explore a gentler truth: healing isn’t always about “fixing” life—it’s about how we live inside it, especially when things feel uncertain.

This episode is for anyone navigating serious illness, caregiving, or emotional fatigue who wants grounded tools (not hype) to stay connected to meaning, agency, and self-compassion—without abandoning medical care or slipping into pressure.

Kelly lives with an ALS diagnosis and shares her lived journey with meditation, lifestyle shifts, and support systems.

Kim is an advocate supporting people living with ALS and other neuromuscular conditions, and co-creates conversations on holistic, evidence-informed living.

00:00 Why healing isn’t always “fixing”

03:10 Kelly’s journey: TBI, diagnosis, and returning to calm

08:05 The biggest misconception about holistic approaches

12:40 Mind-body-spirit: what traditional systems miss

16:20 Where to begin: meditation, Tai Chi, small choices

20:10 Setbacks without self-blame: ending “victimhood” gently

24:00 Healing Through the Quantum + where to find them

1. Start with one daily calming practice (meditation/Tai Chi) before adding more tools.
2. Notice the “label trap”: prognosis talk can shape your nervous system and choices.
3. Build support: healing gets steadier when you stop doing it alone.
4. Focus on agency: “What can I do today?” beats “What if I can’t?”
5. Let hope be spacious—no forcing, no performing.

Healing doesn’t always arrive as a breakthrough—it can start with one small choice repeated daily. On Healing Mindset, hosted by Nazish, we sit with Josh Carr, CEO of Echo Water, and unpack what shifted when his body stopped responding to “business as usual.”

This episode is for anyone navigating chronic pain, fatigue, or inflammation—and feeling tired of chasing quick fixes. Josh shares how he approached hydrogen-infused water with skepticism, what consistency actually looked like, and why sustainable healing often feels subtle before it feels obvious.

Josh Carr is the CEO of Echo Water. He shares his lived experience of genetic arthritis, how pain reshaped his daily life, and what changed after exploring hydrogen-infused water as part of his wellness routine.

1. 00:00 — Healing as small, consistent support
2. 02:10 — Josh’s arthritis story: when hope felt out of reach
3. 06:05 — Misconceptions: “Isn’t there already hydrogen in water?”
4. 10:40 — Gut health, oxidative stress, and inflammation basics
5. 15:25 — The “upward spiral”: energy, movement, and habit change
6. 20:10 — How to start without unrealistic expectations
7. 25:10 — Consistency tools: reminders, routines, and self-forgiveness

1. Track subtle wins (sleep, steps, mood) instead of waiting for instant results
2. Treat new wellness tools as experiments, not miracles
3. Use reminders to replace one habit (like afternoon caffeine) with hydration + movement
4. Support your body’s baseline first—then stack other practices on top
5. Consistency works better with self-kindness than self-pressure

What if success isn’t a finish line, but a quiet agreement you keep making with your own values? In Healing Mindset, hosted by Nazish, Stephanie Gross unpacks how her definition of success shifted across motherhood, entrepreneurship, and a new “empty nest” chapter.

This episode is for anyone who feels pressured by external metrics, stuck in guilt, or ready to realign without burning their life down. You’ll hear how to pause, witness emotions instead of reacting, and rebuild success around purpose, sustainability, and the relationships that matter most.

Stephanie Gross is an 18-year entrepreneur and the founder of Bumby Wool, a merino wool textile manufacturer based in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. She’s passionate about natural fibers, sustainability, and helping people pursue meaningful goals.

1. 00:00 — “Success according to whom, and at what cost?”
2. 03:10 — Early success: motherhood, presence, and “enough”
3. 07:40 — Money vs meaning: choosing what you’re protecting
4. 12:30 — The guilt loop (work, family, self-care) and how to soften it
5. 16:20 — Empty nest transition: roles, communication, and intention
6. 20:10 — Pause, witness, realign: when life feels harder than it should
7. 25:10 — Small steps, grace, and building sustainable success

1. Define success for this season, not your whole life.
2. Watch for guilt as a signal to re-check your values.
3. If everything feels heavy, pause—don’t push harder by default.
4. Follow the “why” beneath the goal until it feels emotionally true.
5. Celebrate small proof points; they fuel the next step.

Stephanie’s company: Bumby Wool. She also shares through an active Facebook group about wool/natural fibers and is expanding her YouTube channel.

• Home patterns often mirror workplace triggers
• Pause, notice, then consciously choose a new response
• Compassion accelerates recovery from setbacks

What if your strength was actually a survival pattern? In Healing Mindset, hosted by Nazish, Cindy Costley shares how living in constant fight-or-flight can quietly become who we believe we are.

This episode is for anyone who feels exhausted from always being “the strong one.” Cindy reveals how trauma reshapes the nervous system, how identity forms around survival responses, and how healing begins by restoring safety in the body—not forcing positivity.

About the Guest:
Cindy Costley is the founder of Underlying Answers and creator of the Electromagnetic Body Desensitization Technique (EBDT). After decades of severe environmental and food reactions, she discovered her symptoms were rooted in survival responses and now helps others address nervous system dysregulation.

Episode Chapters:
00:00 – When coping becomes identity
04:15 – Survival mode beyond stress
08:40 – The “allergic to the world” identity
13:55 – Trauma, nervous system loops & protection
19:10 – Why willpower doesn’t heal biology
23:45 – The power of purposeful pause
27:30 – Rest and safety as rights, not rewards

Key Takeaways:

• Survival mode is a biological safety response—not a personality trait.
• Trauma can lock fight-flight-freeze into long-term patterns.
• Identity often forms around protective coping mechanisms.
• Healing requires restoring nervous system safety, not forcing positivity.
• Curiosity and emotional acknowledgment begin regulation.
