  • Late Autism Diagnosis, Motherhood, and Aging Well With Dr. Amanda Wilson

    There is a kind of love that asks more of a person than they ever planned to give, and somewhere inside it, they meet a version of themselves they did not know existed. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Rashmi talks with Dr. Amanda Wilson, an orthodontist, mother of two, and founder of StraightSmile Solutions, about the quiet chapters that rarely get named: motherhood, aging, and learning who you are after years of doing what was expected.

    Amanda shares what it was like to go from student to doctor to wife to mother within a single year, and how she learned at age 51 that she is autistic after spending a lifetime keeping her head down and shrinking to avoid trouble. She talks about setting boundaries for the first time, what the way we treat our teeth quietly says about how we treat ourselves, and why a smile is really about whether a person believes they have the right to be seen. She closes with the practices that keep her steady: faith, nature, sisterhood, and putting your own oxygen mask on first.

    About the Guest:

    Dr. Amanda Wilson is an orthodontist with more than 25 years in dentistry, based in Hawaii, and the founder of StraightSmile Solutions, an online platform for doctor-to-doctor orthodontic education and consulting. She creates thousands of videos on growth and development, airways, and smile and facial growth for primary care dentists who see children. She is also a mother of two, and she received an autism diagnosis at age 51, which has reshaped how she understands herself, her boundaries, and her family.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Motherhood often asks you to advocate for your child with confidence, even when the experts do not seem to have the answers that fit your child.
    • Going from student to doctor to wife to mother in a single year can leave little room to ask who you actually are. Many women meet themselves again only after the children have grown.
    • Autism in girls and women has long gone unrecognized, and many learn early to mask, stay quiet, and avoid getting in trouble.
    • A late diagnosis can be disorienting and freeing at once. Naming what you need and setting boundaries is taking your fair share of space, not taking up all the air in the room.
    • Your teeth and smile can reflect how you feel about yourself. Finding a kind dentist and taking small steps can help bring back confidence.
    • When everything gets heavy at once, a single small act, like standing in the grass or watching the waves, can keep life from collapsing under its own complexity.
    • Find your sisterhood. Someone out there is going through the same thing and can help.
    • Put your own oxygen mask on first. Taking care of yourself is what makes caring for others possible.

    • Perfectionism and the Inner Critic for High Achievers With Jessica Smarro

      Some of the most exhausted people in the room are the ones who look like they have it all together. They hit every deadline, they have the right answer, and a quiet voice inside congratulates each win for about four seconds before pointing at the next thing they should already be doing. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Rashmi sits down with mindset coach and author Jessica Smarro to talk about the hidden gap between how a life looks from the outside and how it actually feels from the inside.

      Jessica introduces the arrival fallacy, the belief that the next goal will finally deliver the feeling we are chasing, and explains why the inner critic is better understood as a protector than an enemy. Together they unpack how perfectionism differs from excellence, why resistance is the first emotion people feel when they notice the pattern, and how a simple tool, the STEAR model, helps bring thoughts, emotions, and actions into view. They close with a question worth carrying into your evening: what is enough?

      About the Guest:

      Jessica Smarro is a mindset coach, author, and former therapist who works with high-achieving people who are privately exhausted by perfectionism and a harsh inner critic. She is the author of In Pursuit: Go After What You Want, Alive, Aligned, and Fully You, and the founder of a personal development company that helps ambitious people pursue their goals without abandoning themselves along the way. Her work draws on her own experience of being the "good girl" and achiever who looked successful on paper while feeling like she was living a half-lived life.

      Key Takeaways:
      • The arrival fallacy is the belief that the next goal, promotion, or milestone will finally deliver the feeling we want. The horizon keeps moving.
      • High achievers often reach out only after a body signal, like anxiety or stress-related health problems, or a quiet realization that success does not feel the way they expected.
      • The inner critic is usually a protector that learned an unhelpful language. Building a relationship with it works better than declaring war on it.
      • Perfectionism is rooted in fear of vulnerability and rejection, while excellence is rooted in love of the work and a desire for quality.
      • Resistance to setting perfectionism down is common. Everything you have achieved was in spite of the harsh critic, not because of it.
      • The STEAR model (Situation, Thought, Emotion, Action, Result) helps you see which thoughts and feelings are driving your actions and what results they create.
      • Ask what the goal will give you, then what that will give you, until you reach a feeling. Then start cultivating that feeling now, while still pursuing the goal.
      • A powerful evening question for high achievers: what is enough?

      • Healing From Chronic Pain After a Career-Ending Injury With Davis Bain

        ⚠️ This episode includes an honest discussion of past suicidal ideation. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional or a crisis line in your area.


        Davis Bain was a senior in Air Force ROTC, mechanical engineering degree nearly finished, and on track for a commission into the Space Force. Then a single training injury changed everything. A head trauma led to post-concussion syndrome, and what followed was years of chronic pain, cognitive fog, and a body that no longer felt like his own. In this conversation with host Nazish, Davis walks through what it actually feels like to lose the future you had planned for, and the slower, harder work of building a different one.

        He talks candidly about the period when denial, physical suffering, and a damaged gut-brain connection pulled him into deep despair, including a season of suicidal ideation that he now speaks about from the other side, as a closed chapter rather than a current struggle. Davis shares what helped him find his way back: treating chronic pain as a whole-body and whole-mind problem, not just a symptom to manage, and eventually turning his story into his book, Chronic Pain Warrior. This episode is for anyone facing an injury, illness, or loss that rewired their identity, and for anyone who loves someone walking through it.

        About the Guest:

        Davis Bain is a former Air Force ROTC cadet and mechanical engineering student who was pursuing a commission into the U.S. Space Force before a training injury left him with post-concussion syndrome. He is the author of Chronic Pain Warrior, a book chronicling his journey through chronic pain, identity loss, and recovery. Davis now shares his story to help others navigate the mental health side of chronic illness and injury. Learn more at chronicpainwarrior.com.

        Key Takeaways:
        • A single injury can permanently alter a life plan, and grieving that lost future is a necessary part of healing, not a detour from it.
        • Post-concussion syndrome and gut dysbiosis can both disrupt mood and cognition, showing how physical injury and mental health are deeply connected.
        • Denial is often the mind's first response to a body that suddenly doesn't work the way it used to.
        • Suicidal ideation tied to chronic pain is more common than people admit, and naming it honestly, after the fact, can help others feel less alone.
        • Recovery from chronic pain is rarely linear. It asks for patience with a body and mind that are both relearning how to function.
        • Turning a painful chapter into a book or a story can be part of reclaiming a sense of purpose after loss.

        • Subconscious Work, Plant Medicine, and Entrepreneurship With Oliver Glozik

          In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Nazish talks with Oliver Glozik, founder of Harmonica Ayahuasca Retreat in Colombia, about the subconscious as a loud, crowded room most people avoid opening for years. Oliver talks candidly about the fear that comes up in facing one's own inner material, the important distinction he draws between fear and actual danger, and how curiosity, not forced bravery, has carried him through his own ceremonial work with ayahuasca.

          The conversation moves into what plant medicine actually is beyond the mysticism, the chemistry and tradition behind ayahuasca, and why the real work happens not during a ceremony but in the ordinary decisions that follow it. Oliver and Nazish also talk about holding space for both modern medicine and ancient plant wisdom without pitting them against each other, and Oliver shares the story of running a retreat for a single guest early in his business, a decision that did not make sense financially but that he credits with opening the door to the growth that followed.

          About the Guest:

          Oliver Glozik is the founder of Harmonica Ayahuasca Retreat near Medellin, Colombia, where he has led ceremonial plant medicine work for over four years within the Kamsa Biya indigenous tradition. His work sits at the intersection of subconscious exploration, plant medicine, and entrepreneurship as a spiritual path.

          Key Takeaways:

          • A useful first step in facing inner material is distinguishing fear, which often comes loaded with the mind's interpretations, from actual physical danger, which is a separate and much rarer thing.
          • Curiosity can be a more sustainable motivator than forcing yourself past fear. Taking one more step out of a comfort zone is rarely regretted after the fact.
          • Ayahuasca is a brew of two Amazonian plants, one carrying DMT and the other MAO inhibitors that extend its effects over several hours, used ceremonially for thousands of years in the Amazon.
          • A plant medicine ceremony is essentially an unfiltered conversation with yourself. The real transformation comes not from the conversation itself but from the decisions made afterward, in ordinary daily life.
          • Modern medicine and ancestral plant wisdom are not in competition. A significant share of modern medications are derived from plants, and both systems can hold value for different people and different moments.
          • A decision that does not make financial or logical sense in the moment, like running a retreat for a single paying guest, can be exactly the kind of trust-based choice that opens the door to growth later.

            • The Science of Bonding With Your Baby With Marie Derome

              In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Niharika talks with psychoanalytic child and adolescent psychotherapist Marie Derome about one of the most common and least discussed parenting myths: the idea that love for a new baby should arrive instantly and completely. Marie, a former BBC World Service correspondent and author of What Your Baby Wants You to Know, explains why bonding is a two-way relationship that takes time to build, much like falling in love with a partner, and why ordinary ambivalence toward a baby, finding them boring or demanding at times, is a healthy, normal part of that relationship rather than a sign of failure.

              The conversation moves into what happens when bonding is harder than ordinary ambivalence, particularly after a traumatic birth, using Marie's metaphor of leaving the hospital with a new baby and a new pair of glasses whose lenses are shaped by our own history. She and Niharika also get into the neuroscience of the first two years of life, why early repeated interactions build a literal sense of safety in a baby's developing brain, and how parenting a baby often means re-parenting one's own inner child at the same time.

              About the Guest:

              Marie Derome is a psychoanalytic child and adolescent psychotherapist with over twenty years of clinical experience and a former BBC World Service correspondent. She is the author of What Your Baby Wants You to Know: The Art and Science of Bonding with Your Child, and works online with parents around the world on bonding and attachment.

              Key Takeaways:

              • The idea that love for a baby should be instant and constant is a myth. Bonding is a two-way relationship that takes time, interaction, and getting to know each other, much like falling in love with a partner.
              • Ordinary ambivalence toward a baby, finding them boring, demanding, or annoying at times, is healthy and normal. The important thing is being able to move between loving and frustrated feelings rather than getting stuck in either one.
              • A difficult or traumatic birth can distort how a parent perceives their baby's cries, sometimes hearing accusation or failure instead of a simple need for closeness, which changes how warmly they are able to respond.
              • The first two years of life are a critical window because the brain is highly plastic then, and repeated small interactions, like smiling and responding to a baby, build the neural pathways for a lasting sense of safety.
              • Parenting can be reparative. By caring for a real baby, a parent is often also caring for their own inner child, especially when their own childhood experience of being parented was difficult.
              • A few sessions of psychotherapy focused specifically on a difficult birth experience can meaningfully shift how a parent sees and responds to their baby, even when the underlying bonding struggle feels entrenched.

                • Turning a Creative Calling Into a Sustainable Life With Aaron Ryan

                  In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Nazish talks with author Aaron Ryan about the moment a hobby starts asking for more than a hobby is supposed to ask for, and what happens inside a person while they build something real out of it. Aaron, who recently published his fiftieth book, describes writing as a calling rather than a hobby, something that nagged at him until he answered it, and talks candidly about the mental cost of living inside the worlds he creates, including keeping his fictional characters' birthdays on his real calendar.

                  The conversation moves into the practical and protective side of a creative career: the scams and predatory offers that target indie authors and podcasters, how Aaron filters and spots them, and why thick skin and patience matter more than talent in the long run. He and Nazish also talk about keeping family as the anchor underneath the work, the private, unpublished journal Aaron keeps for his sons, and why surrendering your own timeline is often the real adjustment that keeps a creative calling sustainable instead of exhausting.

                  About the Guest:

                  Aaron Ryan is an author who has published fifty books, including the Dissonance saga and the Talisman saga, and works as a voice actor to support his writing career. A member of the Authors Guild, he is active in helping other authors and podcasters recognize and avoid predatory offers and scams targeting creators.

                  Key Takeaways:

                  • There is a real difference between a hobby and a calling. A hobby is something you want to do, while a calling nags at your schedule and priorities until you answer it.
                  • Living inside the worlds you create has a real mental cost. Protecting family time and personal boundaries is essential for a creative career to last decades rather than burn out in a few years.
                  • Predatory offers targeting authors and podcasters are common, often arriving through unsolicited email, and usually promise guaranteed sales, reviews, or adaptations for a fee no legitimate offer would require.
                  • Assertiveness in a creative career looks like committing to the long haul rather than dabbling, treating the work as a business pursuit rather than something to wade into occasionally.
                  • Surrendering your own timeline matters because the desire to give up a creative pursuit usually comes from dreams not manifesting on your own schedule, not from the dream itself being wrong.
                  • A mantra, a filtering system for scam emails, and a hard line between work and family time are concrete, repeatable tools for staying sane inside a demanding creative career.

                    • How to Stay Spiritually Grounded in a Busy World With Isa Lara Marie

                      In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Nazish talks with Isa Lara Marie about the quiet ambient pressure of modern life to always be producing something, and the soul that waits patiently in the background, rarely asked how it is actually doing. Isa traces her own turning point back to her early twenties, when debilitating physical symptoms that modern medicine could not explain pushed her to turn inward and commit to healing and finding herself. She describes how she had been spiritually bypassing her own difficult emotions by staying busy and overachieving, a pattern she had to consciously unlearn.

                      The conversation moves into what balance actually feels like in the body rather than as some perfect, permanent state, and into small, doable practices, like a few conscious breaths done anywhere, a traffic light, a checkout line, a six-minute gap between calls, that can shift a nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into a calmer state. Isa and Nazish also get honest about spiritual bypassing in its subtler forms: using spiritual language to override boundaries around giving, or gently talking oneself out of feeling grief, and why staying present to real human emotion, without being swept away by it, is part of genuine spiritual groundedness.

                      About the Guest:

                       Isa Lara Marie is a spiritual teacher and author who focuses on staying grounded and present in a world built to keep people constantly producing. After a health crisis in her early twenties that conventional medicine could not resolve, she turned to inner healing and has since developed a body of teaching she calls Integrating Infinity. She is the author of the book First Light.

                      Key Takeaways:

                      • Balance is not a fixed, perfect state to arrive at. It is a felt sense in the body, something people return to again and again rather than hold onto permanently.
                      • Spiritual bypassing can be subtle: using spiritual language or beliefs to override real emotions, like dismissing grief as "not real" or feeling obligated to give endlessly because that feels more spiritual.
                      • Boundaries are compatible with being a genuinely spiritual or giving person; depleting yourself to give to others is not a requirement of spirituality, it is a pattern worth examining.
                      • Short, consciously breathed moments, even just a few breaths at a traffic light or in a checkout line, can shift the body from a stressed, sympathetic state toward a calmer, parasympathetic one.
                      • Letting go of the idea of perfection and embracing one's own uniqueness, the way a tree's scars and variations are simply part of its beauty, is part of staying grounded rather than striving.
                      • Reconnecting with the body does not require a retreat or a formal practice. It can be as small as pausing with a cup of tea, gazing out a window, and breathing consciously for a moment.

                        • Why the Nervous System Runs Mental Health With Liz Chelak

                          In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Nazish talks with therapist Liz Chelak about a shift she sees over and over in her practice: people spend years in traditional talk therapy identifying and changing their thoughts, only to discover that thoughts are downstream reports from the nervous system, not the source of the problem. Liz explains how a nervous system shaped by past stress or trauma can keep responding to danger that is no longer present, showing up as constant low-grade anxiety, exhaustion that sleep does not fix, or relationship patterns that repeat no matter how much insight a person gains in talk therapy alone.

                          The conversation moves into concrete, doable practice, including a simple extended-exhale technique Liz uses herself and teaches clients to signal safety to the body in calm moments rather than only during a crisis. She and Zeeshan also talk candidly about the line between nervous system awareness and a new form of self-rejection dressed up as self-improvement, and why Liz's Sovereign Body Method is built around helping people become the leaders of their own lives, learning to use their feelings as information rather than treating their own reactions as evidence of being broken.

                          About the Guest:

                          Liz Chelak is a therapist who works with the nervous system as the central piece of mental and emotional health. She developed the Sovereign Body Method to help clients regulate their nervous system, reconnect with their bodies, and use their feelings as guidance rather than something to fix or fear. Her approach moves beyond traditional talk therapy toward somatic, body-based work that she teaches through her practice, Evolve Therapy Counseling.

                          Key Takeaways:

                          • Thoughts are downstream reports from the nervous system, not the root cause of anxiety or low mood, which is why changing thoughts alone often produces only short-term relief.
                          • A nervous system shaped by past stress or trauma can keep responding to danger that is no longer present, showing up as low-grade anxiety or exhaustion that sleep does not fix.
                          • A simple extended-exhale practice, done with intention and repeated a few times a day, signals safety to the body and can meaningfully reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms over time.
                          • Reactions, triggers, and relationship patterns are not evidence of being broken. They are a conditioned nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to survive.
                          • Nervous system practices should be done in calm, neutral moments rather than only during high stress, so the goal becomes changing the body's baseline state rather than just coping in the moment.
                          • There is a real risk of turning self-improvement into self-rejection. The Sovereign Body Method aims for people to become the leaders of their own lives by using regulated feelings as information, not another project to perfect.

                            • Letting Go of Unconscious Narratives in Midlife With Jon Symes

                              In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Rashmeet talks with Jon Symes about the particular kind of ache that shows up in people who are, by every outward measure, doing everything right. Jon traces his own turning point back about fifteen years, when a social venture he tried to build in Ecuador failed, and the failure cracked open an identity he had built around always being the person who could fix things. What followed was a long, honest look at the unconscious stories he and so many high-functioning people carry, stories that quietly run the show until they stop working, which Jon reframes as the real definition of a midlife crisis, one that can arrive at almost any age.

                              The conversation moves into how these hidden narratives, like "I am what I produce," show up as stuckness, frustration, or a dissonance between a life that looks good on paper and one that feels empty from the inside. Jon talks about learning to listen to the body's signals rather than overriding them, the self-compassion it took to stop treating his own perceived flaws as sabotage, and why he does not encourage people to blow up their lives in response. Instead, he points toward reconnecting with the qualities, compassion, curiosity, creativity, kindness, and strength, that he believes every person is seeded with before culture's scripts start to dampen them.

                              About the Guest:

                              Jon Symes works with people navigating midlife transitions, helping them recognize the unconscious stories shaping their choices, relationships, and sense of self-worth. His own path included building a career around solving problems, a failed social venture in Ecuador that forced a reckoning with that identity, and years of work developing the self-compassion and self-awareness he now brings to his coaching.

                              Key Takeaways:

                              • A midlife crisis, in Jon's framing, is simply the moment the stories we've been living by stop working, and that moment can arrive almost any time from age thirty onward, not on a fixed schedule.
                              • High-functioning people often carry a story like "I am what I produce," which quietly ties their sense of worth to output and makes slowing down or reflecting feel like failure.
                              • The body tends to register dissonance, through depression, low energy, or lethargy, long before the conscious mind is willing to name that something isn't working.
                              • Noticing a limiting narrative starts with locating the pain or stuckness in daily life: where the same strategy keeps failing, or where frustration keeps repeating.
                              • Reconnecting with purpose doesn't require detonating a life, a job, a relationship, or a move to a new country; the deeper shift is letting go of inherited stories rather than carrying them to a new setting.
                              • Jon encourages self-compassion toward the parts of ourselves that seem to sabotage or delay progress, treating them as an inner landscape to tend rather than a flaw to fix.

                                • Shifting the Narrative: Rewriting the Stories That Shape Us With Kimberly Crowe

                                  In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Rashmi sits down with Kimberly Crowe, founder of Speakers Playhouse, to talk about the quiet, inherited stories people carry about who they are and what they're allowed to want. Kimberly traces her own path from seventeen years inside a Fortune 1000 company, including the "golden handcuffs" of a job that paid well but no longer fit, into entrepreneurship, where she built a million-dollar business only to find herself in what she calls a "golden jail cell" of her own making. The turn came through an unexpected, joy-first side project teaching audiobook narration with her teenage son, which became the seed for Speakers Playhouse and a new rule for her work going forward: if it isn't fun, it isn't worth doing.

                                  The conversation then moves into the mechanics of actually shifting a limiting narrative, not through sweeping affirmations that the mind rejects outright, but through smaller, believable adjustments that the brain can accept and build on. Kimberly and Rashmi talk about "I'm not ready yet" as one of the most common stories people hide behind, why trying to leap straight to a completely new identity backfires, and the grounding question Kimberly returns to again and again: whose story is this, really, and does it still belong in your life.

                                  About the Guest:

                                  Kimberly Crowe is the founder of Speakers Playhouse, where she helps coaches, authors, entrepreneurs, and speakers build the confidence to get on stages and podcasts and share their message. Before that, she spent seventeen years in corporate leadership at a Fortune 1000 company and later built her own million-dollar business, experience that now shapes her practical, no-nonsense approach to helping people step into visibility without burning out in the process.

                                  Key Takeaways:

                                  • "I'm not ready yet" is one of the most common limiting stories people tell themselves, whether they're updating a resume or getting behind a microphone, and waiting for readiness often means waiting forever.
                                  • Confidence tends to build through repetition, not preparation. Getting it a little wrong a few times is usually what makes someone feel ready, not the other way around.
                                  • Trying to force a dramatic identity shift, like telling yourself "I'm a millionaire" while staring at an empty bank account, rarely works. Smaller, believable shifts the brain can actually accept tend to stick.
                                  • Recreating the same pressures in a new form is easy to miss. Kimberly's own escape from corporate "golden handcuffs" led her straight into a self-built "golden jail cell" as a business owner.
                                  • A simple grounding question, whose story is this, can help someone recognize when they're still carrying a narrative handed to them by a parent, teacher, or old classmate rather than one that's actually theirs.
                                  • Joy became Kimberly's non-negotiable filter for new work after a fun side project with her son outperformed years of "serious" business building.
