Inner Light

Have you ever wondered if you’re living someone else’s version of your life? On Inner Light, host Niharika and Todd Krause explore how society, school and family quietly script who we’re supposed to be.

Todd shares why burnout often grows from a gap between what we want and what we have, and how noticing, quiet reflection and honest listening help us find our way back to ourselves.

About the Guest:

Todd Krause is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and runs Silversun Consulting. Drawing on years in corporate life, he speaks about the cost of following society’s script and the quiet work of reconnecting with what truly matters.

Key Takeaways:

• Living authentically means uncovering who you are, not reinventing yourself.
• Many life paths are chosen for us early by parents, school and society.
• Burnout often signals a gap between what you want and what you have.
• Ongoing numbness and tiredness are signals worth noticing.
• Notice first, then reflect quietly on the cause, then act.

Ever feel your spark quietly dimmed while you were busy fitting in and keeping everyone happy? On Inner Light, host Niharika and life coach Liz Coleman explore how to reconnect with the truest part of yourself.

Liz unpacks how limiting beliefs from childhood fuel everyday stress, and how self-awareness, gratitude, and nervous system regulation help you choose differently, gently and on your own terms.

About the Guest:

Liz Coleman is a life coach who works with many busy moms, helping them question old beliefs and live closer to their values. She offers a free limiting beliefs assessment on her website.

Key Takeaways:

• Your inner light is simply your values and what truly energizes you.
• Stress, frustration, and guilt can signal you are living out of alignment.
• Play detective: ask “Why am I doing this, and is it 100% true?”
• Swap “I have to” for “I choose to” or “I get to.”
• Noticing a setback is itself a sign of growth.
• Try short daily breathing resets with an exhale twice as long as the inhale.

Somewhere beneath the roles we play, a quieter voice keeps asking what truly matters to us. If you feel disconnected or stuck on autopilot, this conversation is for you.

On Inner Light, host Sreemedha talks with David Lengyel about finding purpose, asking yourself better questions, and why one small step matters more than a perfect plan. You will leave with gentle encouragement to begin.

About the Guest:

David Lengyel is with Venture Up, which runs experiential training programs for companies and began as a mountaineering company. A chemist by training, he has a book on leadership truths due December 12.

Key Takeaways:

• Your life reflects the questions you ask. Start with: what matters to me?
• You do not need a clear path. Move, and you will find wisdom or happiness.

• Begin with your strengths.

What if the light you keep searching for was never lost? This episode of Inner Light is for anyone who feels disconnected from themselves and wonders where to begin finding their way back.

Mathias Lemos Castillo shares why self-discovery is a marathon rather than a sprint, how the body signals what feels aligned, and four gentle ways to reconnect: creativity, movement, nature, and community.

About the Guest:

Mathias Lemos Castillo is the founder of MLC Consulting. He finds his own way inward through reflection, writing, yoga, mindfulness, and time in nature.

Key Takeaways:

• Inner work takes time. Growth often starts small, then builds faster than you expect.
• Your body offers clues. Notice what brings ease and what brings irritation.
• Reconnect through four doors: creativity, movement, nature, and community.
• When the mind gets loud, ask: is this real? Hear the thought, then set it aside.
• Give yourself grace. A little every day adds up.

What if the restlessness you can't explain is your inner light asking you to pay attention? On Inner Light, host Maria talks with former psychotherapist turned entrepreneur Sean B. Jones about staying guided by something bigger than yourself.

Sean shares how three decades in psychotherapy, business, and the pet industry taught him that misalignment always shows up as unrest. Expect a grounded, honest look at listening inward instead of chasing outside answers.

About the Guest:

Sean B. Jones began his career as a psychotherapist, later earning an MBA and leading managed care companies. He and his wife Amy now run What's In The Bowl Pet Shop, after also founding Foodynamics, a pet-industry freeze-drying manufacturer.

Key Takeaways:

• Treat that nagging sense of "this isn't quite me" as information, not a flaw to push through.
• Duality matters, the pull away from your inner guidance is often what makes finally finding it meaningful.
• Talk openly with people you trust about what you feel guided toward, most of us rarely put words to it.
• Set your own personal milestones, not just achievement goals, to know what you actually believe and want.

Some people wait for permission before they trust what they already sense inside themselves. But what if reconnecting to your inner light isn't about becoming someone new, just remembering something that was always there?

In this episode of Inner Light, host Niharika talks with TEDx speaker and behavioral economist Dr. Christiane Schroeter about why comparing your day one to someone else's day one hundred keeps people stuck, how tracking small weekly wins rebuilds trust with yourself, and why the smallest, most petite step forward matters more than any big leap.

About the Guest:

Dr. Christiane Schroeter is a TEDx speaker, behavioral economist, and bestselling author known as The Small Steps Doctor. She created the Petite Practice® framework, which turns big goals into small, repeatable actions, and hosts her own podcast, Happy Healthy Hustle.

Key Takeaways:

• Almost everyone is quietly struggling somewhere, people just tend to only share their highlight reel, so comparing your struggle to someone else's success is comparing two very different things.
• Comparing your day one to someone else's day one hundred is a game that can't be won, progress is more visible when measured against your own starting point.
• Finding your inner light isn't about a dramatic breakthrough, it can feel as ordinary and comfortable as putting on your favorite pair of jogging pants.
• A weekly log of small wins, even something as small as reading a few pages or getting outside for ten minutes, gives you something to look back on during harder days.
• Who you follow and talk to daily shapes how you feel about yourself, it's worth reassessing your environment if it consistently leaves you feeling behind.
• Getting started matters more than getting it right, the discomfort of being a beginner again is often the real work.

What does it take to protect a relationship through the hardest years of your life, and then keep protecting it once the crisis has passed? In this episode of Inner Light, host Swati talks with Gaylen Wilson, a heart transplant survivor who, alongside his wife Heather, developed the Monument Method, a simple framework for stopping conflict before it damages a relationship's foundation.

Gaylen shares how nearly losing his life reshaped what he values, how a single "sacred word" can pull two people out of a fight before it does lasting harm, and why small, consistent moments of connection matter more than any grand gesture. It's a warm, practical look at how couples can turn back toward each other, even after years of distance.

About the Guest:

Gaylen Wilson survived years of severe heart failure and eventually received a heart transplant. Together with his wife, Heather, he developed the Monument Method, a framework for protecting connection during conflict, and founded the Monument Method Institute.

Key Takeaways:

• A life-threatening experience can reshape how you show up in your closest relationship, shifting you from going through the motions to living and loving on purpose.
• Every kind word or gesture builds your relationship's "monument," while every harsh word or cold shoulder chips away at it, so protecting that monument matters more than winning any single argument.
• Agree on a "sacred word" in advance that either partner can say to pause a fight before it escalates, then come back together instead of walking away.
• Eye contact and physical closeness can signal safety to the nervous system, helping both people step out of a defensive, reactive state and back into calm, honest conversation.
• Small daily moments of connection, a pause in the hallway, a few seconds of real eye contact, do more for a relationship over time than occasional big gestures.

Many of us wonder if we've lost touch with something quiet inside ourselves. On this episode of Inner Light, host Ria talks with Siobhán Ewert, a neuroscientist turned somatic guide, about what it really means to come home to yourself.

Siobhán shares her own journey from rejecting spirituality to rebuilding it through the body, and why simple breath awareness can be more powerful than any elaborate practice.

ABOUT THE GUEST:

Siobhán Ewert holds a doctorate in neuroscience and works at the intersection of nervous system science and spiritual practice. She offers coaching in nervous system mapping and somatic embodiment, helping people reconnect with the body's stored wisdom.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Start small: even one minute of watching your breath each day builds capacity over time.
• A calm nervous system makes it easier to feel your own inner stillness.
• Notice which practices genuinely bring you joy; forcing a method rarely lasts.
• Trust your body's signals, and never hand over your authority to any teacher.

How do you stay connected to yourself when the pressure is real and mistakes are visible to everyone? In this episode of Inner Light, host Swati talks with international Grand Prix dressage rider and executive coach Silvia Rizzo about staying present, building a clear inner structure, and making decisions in seconds without letting emotion take over.

Silvia shares how three decades of high stakes sport shaped a mindset built on values rather than habits, and why separating what you feel from the facts in front of you is the real work of staying grounded. This conversation offers a practical, no fluff way to think about presence, boundaries, and coming back to yourself after a setback.

About the Guest:

Silvia Rizzo is an international professional dressage rider who has spent decades making high stakes decisions in high pressure sport environments. She also runs her own company, Hof Marabunta, working with high end fashion and sport brands, and works as an executive coach helping people make clear decisions under uncertainty and pressure.

Key Takeaways:

• Presence is not optional under pressure. Staying focused on what is in front of you, rather than splitting attention between two things, is what keeps decisions clear.
• Separate how you feel from the facts. Letting emotion take the wheel is what destabilises clear thinking and clear communication.
• Build your inner structure before the crisis, not during it. Your values and boundaries need to be defined ahead of the moment that tests them.
• Overthinking fills silence with imagination, not facts. Notice when your mind is filling a gap with assumptions rather than reality.
• Mistakes are information, not identity. Analyse what happened, take what you can learn, and avoid repeating the same reaction twice.
• Reconnecting with yourself after drifting away is not a failure. It is simply another chance to turn back inward.

Have you ever hit a milestone you worked years for, only to feel the achievement go quiet the moment you crossed the finish line? This episode is for anyone who has chased success and still felt something missing underneath it. Host Niharika sits down with David Gottfried, founder of the U.S. and World Green Building Councils and co-creator of the LEED certification system, to explore what happens when we stop performing purpose and start listening for it.

David shares the idea of Soul Worth, a measure beyond net worth and self-worth, and reflects on decades of building a global green building movement he chose not to own. Listeners will walk away with a gentler lens on ambition, detachment, and what it really means to live in alignment with who you are.

About the Guest:

David Gottfried is the founder of the U.S. Green Building Council and the World Green Building Council, known as the father of the global green building movement and co-creator of the LEED certification system. He is the author of several books, including the upcoming Regen360, An Operating System for a Regenerative Earth, and has introduced the concept of Soul Worth alongside net worth and self-worth.

Key Takeaways:

• Purpose isn't something achievement eventually earns you, it's something you already carry, waiting to be heard rather than chased
• Underneath the urgency to achieve more is often old survival fear, wiring that once kept us alive but now just keeps us running
• Soul Worth, alongside net worth and self-worth, asks what you've contributed rather than what you've accumulated
• Quiet, unplugged moments, a walk, a pause, a Sabbath, are often where real clarity and self-awareness actually surface
• Letting go of ownership and ego can be harder than building something in the first place, but it's where real freedom shows up
• You don't need to choose between making money and making meaning, wealth can accelerate hope instead of just accumulating for its own sake
