STOP HEALING WRONG: Why Mindfulness, Not Hustle, Ends Toxic Cycles with      Dr. Kasim Al-Mashat

If you’ve been trying to heal by doing more—reading more, achieving more, fixing more—this episode will feel like a breath of truth.
Dr. Kasim Al-Mashat, Registered Psychologist, Certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher, and Founder of the Center for Mindfulness Canada, joins Anita Sandoval to unravel one of the biggest misconceptions in healing: you can’t hustle your way out of pain.

Together they explore how mindfulness invites you to slow down, reconnect to your body, and end the toxic cycles of people-pleasing, burnout, and emotional self-abandonment.

📍 Why “doing more” can actually deepen emotional burnout
 📍 How mindfulness helps you notice when old people-pleasing patterns return
 📍 The power of non-judgmental awareness and self-compassion
 📍 Why curiosity is a superpower in your healing journey
📍 How to tell when you’re safe to trust again after trauma
📍 Practical tools to ground yourself when emotions feel overwhelming
