  • Turning Grief into Spiritual Insight with Dr. Gregg Korbon

    Episode Summary:

    In this profound and emotionally charged episode of Mind Over Matter, Dr. Gregg Korbon returns to share the extraordinary story of his son Brian—a gifted child who foresaw his own death and, in doing so, shattered his father's scientific worldview. A respected physician and educator, Dr. Korbon once lived by logic and science. But Brian’s passing opened a doorway into the mystical, the unexplainable, and the deeply spiritual. This episode explores how loss can become the ultimate teacher and how children carry timeless wisdom we too often ignore.

    About the Guest:

    Dr. Gregg Korbon is a physician, pain specialist, and author of Beyond Reason: Lessons from a Gifted Child. After the unexpected loss of his son Brian, Gregg’s path shifted from clinical science to spiritual seeking. His journey bridges medicine, mystery, and meaning as he uncovers hidden truths about life, death, and love. Today, he shares his story to help others find healing through grief and discover the unseen dimensions of our human experience.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Children can be our greatest spiritual teachers, if we choose to listen.

    • Brian’s intuitive awareness of his own death awakened a lifelong journey for Gregg, revealing a world beyond logic.

    • Grief, though devastating, can become a path to profound healing and transformation.

    • Modern medicine often separates body from soul—but true healing demands both.

    • Spiritual growth sometimes begins where rational understanding ends.

    • Rewrite Your Health Story: Mindset, Stress & Hormones with Justin & Stacey of Fortify Health Coaching

      In this powerful episode of Mind Over Matter, we sit down with Justin and Stacey from Fortify Health Coaching to unpack the silent link between mindset and physical health. With years of experience guiding women through hormone imbalances, gut issues, and chronic stress, they reveal how the real game-changer isn’t just food or fitness—it’s the story we tell ourselves. From rewiring the nervous system to transforming internal language patterns, Justin and Stacey break down how small shifts in words can create radical shifts in health. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your wellness journey despite doing “all the right things,” this conversation is a must-listen.

      About the Guests:

      Justin and Stacey are the co-founders of Fortify Health Coaching. With a unique blend of fitness, functional health, and nervous system regulation, they help high-performing women break free from emotional burnout, hormone chaos, and the exhausting cycle of doing it all. Their method starts with a simple but powerful principle: rewrite the story that’s been keeping you stuck.

      Key Takeaways:

      • Mindset isn’t motivation—it’s the story you repeatedly tell yourself.

      • Chronic stress disrupts hormones, digestion, and sleep—but the root cause often lies in your internal dialogue.

      • Negations like “can’t” and “won’t” keep your brain focused on what you don’t want.

      • Writing down your story and slowing it down helps you shift its emotional weight.

      • The smallest word changes—like removing “ever” from a sentence—can ease anxiety and unlock possibility.

      • True healing starts when your nervous system feels safe.

      • Burnout, Reinvention & Radical Self-Worth with Jacks O’Hare

        In this soul-shaking episode of Mind Over Matter, we sit down with Jacks O’Hare—former hospitality executive turned women’s life coach and founder of High Vibe Collective. Jacks shares her raw journey from chronic burnout to radical reinvention. She unpacks how high-performing women get stuck in cycles of self-sabotage, and why awareness, reframing, and choosing yourself—again and again—are the keys to healing. This is not about making surface-level changes. It’s about burning down what no longer serves you and becoming who you truly are.

        About the Guest:

        Jacks O’Hare is a women’s life coach and the founder of High Vibe Collective. With 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, she reached a personal breaking point that led her to a full-life reinvention. Today, she helps women dismantle perfectionism, embrace self-worth, and rewrite their stories from the inside out.

        Key Takeaways:

        • Burnout often looks like success on the outside but feels like emptiness within.

        • Self-sabotage thrives in autopilot—awareness is the first disruptor.

        • Reinvention isn't about becoming someone new; it’s about shedding what’s not you.

        • High-achieving women often ignore their needs—rituals and boundaries are non-negotiable tools for staying aligned.

        • The smallest act of self-trust can ignite a radical shift in your life’s direction.

        • From Stress to Strength: How to Rewire Your Brain with Jamey Maniscalco

          In this transformative episode of Mind Over Matter, neuroscientist and Manifest Wellness founder Jamey Maniscalco breaks down why stress isn’t the villain we’ve made it out to be. With over a decade studying stress and the brain, Jamey shares how your mindset about stress—more than the stress itself—can affect your health, decision-making, and longevity. Learn about the science behind stress hormones like cortisol and DHEA, how to shift into a “stress-is-enhancing” mindset, and three actionable tools to stop mental rumination in its tracks. Whether you’re battling anxiety or looking to optimize your performance, this episode delivers brain-backed strategies for lasting change.

          About the Guest:

          Jamey Maniscalco is a neuroscientist, professor, and founder of Manifest Wellness Co., a platform helping individuals build sustainable wellness habits rooted in neuroscience. With a background in stress physiology and behavioral health, she bridges science with practical tools to empower personal transformation. Jamey is on a mission to make complex science actionable and accessible for everyone.

          Key Takeaways:

          • A “stress-is-enhancing” mindset can increase resilience, reduce anxiety, and even lower mortality risk.

          • Stress hormones like DHEA can boost brain growth and emotional stability—when harnessed correctly.

          • Simple practices like mindfulness, exercise, and quality sleep support a healthier stress response.

          • Reframing stress, identifying its purpose, and recognizing its growth potential are keys to mental mastery.

          • Rumination is a brain loop we can disrupt through de-catastrophizing, journaling, and reclaiming control.

              • From Breakdown to Becoming: Samantha Kane on Healing, Identity & Motherhood

                In this soul-deep episode of Mind Over Matter, host Aanya welcomes Samantha Kane—founder of Roots Wings Wellness, Holistic Life Coach, and Soul Guide. From divorce and identity loss to spiritual awakening through motherhood, Samantha shares the raw and sacred moments that shaped her path. She opens up about embracing flow over resistance, tuning into the higher self, and guiding others to distinguish ego-driven choices from soul-led alignment. Whether you're in a personal unraveling or on the cusp of transformation, Samantha's insights remind us that healing isn’t always graceful, but it is always sacred.

                About the Guest:

                Samantha Kane is the founder of Roots Wings Wellness, a holistic life coach, homeschooling mother, and guide for soul transformation. Her work blends deep personal experience with spiritual and practical insight to help women heal limiting beliefs, reconnect with their higher selves, and navigate life’s messiest transitions with authenticity and courage.

                Key Takeaways:

                • True transformation happens through, not around, life’s messiest moments.

                • Aligning with your higher self is a lifelong practice rooted in presence and flow.

                • Hustle culture often masks ego-driven choices; real strength lies in vulnerability and slowing down.

                • Motherhood and womanhood can be powerful spiritual initiations when approached with awareness.

                • Healing happens when we let go of societal conditioning and root deeply in who we really are.

                • Designing Spaces for Who You’re Becoming – with Nan Krueger

                  On this episode of Mind Over Matter, we speak with holistic interior designer Nan Krueger, who believes that healing doesn’t only happen in therapy rooms—it happens in the environments we live in. Nan explains how our spaces hold the energy of who we are and who we’re becoming. She shares practical, emotionally intelligent design strategies to help you transform your home from a draining backdrop into a nurturing co-pilot for personal growth. Whether you’re mid-transition, healing, or simply ready for change, this conversation invites you to rethink how space affects your state of mind.

                  About the Guest:

                  Nan Krueger is a holistic interior designer who blends intuitive design with emotional wellness. Raised in a family where intentional space design was the norm, Nan developed a deep understanding of how surroundings affect mood, mindset, and energy. Today, she helps people create homes that reflect their future selves—not just their past. Nan works with clients across budgets to craft environments that support clarity, joy, and transformation.

                  Key Takeaways:

                  • Your home is more than decor—it's a living space that mirrors your evolution.

                  • Poor lighting, outdated colors, and clutter are silent energy drains.

                  • Design should feel emotionally aligned, not just visually appealing.

                  • You can start transforming your space with small shifts—paint, rugs, or curtains.

                  • Healing environments don’t require luxury—just intention and awareness.

                  • Finding Your True Wellness Path with Lana Rose Berger

                    In this episode of , Lana Rose Berger—founder of Conscious Concierge—joins us to unpack why the booming wellness space often leaves people more confused than healed. She shares her personal journey from burnout in corporate NYC to creating personalized wellness roadmaps that actually work. We discuss why the “one-size-fits-all” approach fails, how to spot red flags in the self-help world, and what true integration looks like beyond a weekend retreat. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by wellness advice or unsure where to start, this episode offers clarity.

                    About the Guest:

                    Lana Rose Berger is the founder of Conscious Concierge, a personalized holistic wellness platform that helps people cut through the noise and find healing solutions tailored to their mind, body, and soul. After leaving a high-pressure career in television advertising and navigating her own health crisis, she now guides others through the overwhelming world of wellness with clarity and compassion.

                    Key Takeaways:

                    • More options don’t equal more clarity—personalization is key in healing.

                    • Red flags in wellness: anyone promising “the solution” for everyone.

                    • Integration isn’t a peak experience; it’s what you do Monday morning.

                    • True healing is about self-trust, not outsourcing your power.

                    • Personalized wellness is the future—not programs, but conscious choices.

                    • Rewriting the Inner Story: Breaking Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs with Layton Fulton

                      On this episode of Mind Over Matter, we explore personal transformation with Layton Fulton, a former oilfield construction leader who stepped away from external success to pursue deeper self-awareness and fulfillment. Layton shares how reaching the “top” in his career left him feeling unfulfilled, prompting a radical internal shift. From shedding outdated identities to confronting the belief of not being enough, Layton now guides others through their evolution—using tools like hypnotherapy, intention-setting, and, when appropriate, psychedelic therapy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone stuck in old patterns and ready to change the story they're living by.

                      About the Guest:

                      Layton Fulton is a Personal Transformation Guide and former construction pro who now helps others challenge long-held identities and rewrite self-limiting narratives. Drawing from decades of leadership, deep introspection, and holistic tools, he supports individuals in accessing their unconscious mind and finding a path to genuine fulfillment.

                      Key Takeaways:

                      • Success without satisfaction is a wake-up call, not a destination.

                      • Self-limiting beliefs like “I am not enough” are often rooted in outdated survival responses.

                      • True change requires more than awareness—it demands aligned action, self-compassion, and sometimes, stepping into discomfort.

                      • Psychedelics can offer a glimpse of what’s possible, but transformation is always an inside job.

                      • Letting go of who we were creates space for who we’re meant to become.

                        In this eye-opening episode of Mind Over Matter, host Aanya sits down with Angela Gioffre, a qualified nutritionist and fierce advocate for food transparency. Angela unpacks the hidden ways pesticides are silently impacting our microbiome, hormones, and long-term health. Drawing from her own transformation as a mother-turned-nutritionist, Angela reveals how even "safe" foods may carry unseen threats—and why the gut holds the key to our immunity, mental well-being, and resilience. Tune in for practical advice, empowering insight, and a call to reclaim agency over what we eat.

                        About the Guest:

                        Angela Gioffre is a passionate nutritionist and educator whose journey into health advocacy began with motherhood. Shocked by the risks posed by everyday food and chemical exposures, Angela committed to understanding what’s really on our plates.

                        Key Takeaways:

                        • Pesticides are designed to kill bugs—and that includes the beneficial microbes in your gut.

                        • Gut health influences everything from immunity to mental clarity and hormone regulation.

                        • Hormonal imbalances tied to pesticides can mimic stress and affect everything from skin to metabolism.

                        • Organic foods help plants develop their own immunity—passing on more nutrition and antioxidants to us.

                        • Small changes—like switching one grocery item to organic or growing herbs—can have a huge impact over time.

                        • Unmasking Autism & The Power of Stillness with Murphy Monroe

                          In this gripping episode of Mind Over Matter, host Aanya sits down with Murphy Monroe—autistic executive, advocate, and director of a national circus school. Murphy shares his powerful journey of late diagnosis, the toll of lifelong masking, and the liberation of finally unmasking. From being featured in The New York Times to leading with authenticity, Murphy sheds light on the hidden labor neurodivergent individuals face just to “fit in.” He also introduces float therapy as a life-changing tool for nervous system regulation, presence, and healing. This episode explores how true resilience isn't about endurance—it’s about finally breathing freely.

                          About the Guest:

                          Murphy Monroe is a neurodivergent leader and storyteller, currently serving as the Executive Director of a national circus school and as an AD commissioner. Diagnosed with autism later in life, he now advocates for inclusion, neurodiversity, and authentic leadership. He’s also a passionate proponent of float therapy as a tool for healing, stillness, and reconnection with self.

                          Key Takeaways:

                          • Masking is the hidden, exhausting act of pretending to be neurotypical.

                          • Authenticity is not a liability—it’s the key to personal and societal transformation.

                          • Float therapy offers profound nervous system relief and deep self-connection.

                          • Inclusion must go beyond words—it starts with redesigning our spaces and mindsets.

                          • Resilience means holding onto your core self in a world that asks you to hide.
