Mind Over Habit

What if many of the emotional struggles we face—stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and even unhappiness—stem not from our circumstances, but from how we relate to our thoughts and feelings?

‎

‎In this episode of Mind Over Habit, we welcome Saw Myint, founder of the Australian charity Wake Up Ltd, finance professional, property developer, and advocate for science-backed Buddhist self-healing practices.

‎

‎Drawing from over a decade of Buddhist practice and years of supporting people through personal and financial challenges, Saw shares practical techniques for managing stress, improving mental well-being, and cultivating inner peace in everyday life.

‎

‎We explore the connection between mindfulness and mental health, why happiness and unhappiness are often temporary states, how Buddhist principles align with modern science, and how individuals can develop resilience in the face of life's challenges.

‎

‎Whether you're navigating stress, seeking greater emotional balance, or simply curious about the intersection of spirituality and psychology, this conversation offers valuable insights for living with more awareness, clarity, and calm.

It was a great moment where we explore a lot of topics

What if your self-sabotage, people-pleasing, anxiety, and emotional triggers aren't character flaws but your brain's attempt to protect you?

‎

‎In this episode of Mind Over Habit, host Moses sits down with Dr. Brian DesRoches, psychotherapist, neuroscience expert, and author of Living a Trigger-Free Life. With over three decades of clinical experience, Brian reveals how modern neuroscience is transforming our understanding of emotional healing through memory reconsolidation and emotional learning.

‎

‎Together, they explore why traditional approaches often fail to create lasting change, how unconscious emotional learnings shape behavior, and what it takes to truly rewire emotional patterns for greater resilience, confidence, and well-being.
