  • The Healing Power of Gratitude: How Mindset Transforms Chronic Pain & Illness with Dr. Julius Torelli

    In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana speaks with Dr. Julius Torelli, a physician with over 40 years of experience, about the transformative connection between emotional health, chronic illness, and gratitude. Dr. Torelli shares how his Gratefully Well model integrates mindfulness, self-awareness, and evidence-based gratitude practices into traditional Western medicine to address medically unexplained symptoms like chronic pain, migraines, and IBS.

    This conversation highlights how reframing mindset can reduce stress, improve physical symptoms, and empower individuals to regain control of their health. Listeners will learn about practical gratitude techniques like the “Traceback Method,” which helps shift perception without falling into toxic positivity.

    If you’ve struggled with recurring illness or the weight of daily stress, this episode will give you science-backed tools to find balance, build emotional resilience, and approach your healing journey with greater self-acceptance.

    About the Guest

    Dr. Julius Torelli is the founder of the Gratefully Well program, combining decades of medical practice with a holistic approach to health. He specializes in helping patients with medically unexplained symptoms understand the mind-body connection. Dr. Torelli is also the author of a book on the physical and mental health benefits of gratitude and writes the popular Gratefully Well newsletter on Substack.

    Key Takeaways
    • Chronic conditions like migraines, IBS, and pain can often be rooted in emotional stress, even when medical tests show no physical cause.

    • Western medicine excels in acute care, but often overlooks non-physical dimensions of health such as emotional, cultural, spiritual, and behavioral factors.

    • Gratitude, when practiced deeply and intentionally, can shift physiology by reducing stress responses and reframing difficult situations.

    • The Gratefully Well model encourages self-awareness, mindfulness, and choice in how we perceive challenges—helping to break the trap of the “victim mindset.”

    • Dr. Torelli’s “Traceback Method” of gratitude focuses on tracing the impact of one thing you are grateful for back to its roots, creating a profound sense of appreciation.

              • Healing PMDD Naturally: Reclaiming Your Health Through Nutrition, Trauma Work & Hormone Balance with Camilla Brinkworth

                In this powerful episode of The Mindful Journey Podcast, host Sana sits down with Camilla Brinkworth, a qualified naturopath, nutritionist, and trauma-informed healing specialist, to explore the misunderstood condition of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Camilla shares her personal journey of overcoming PMDD, panic attacks, autoimmune arthritis, and emotional struggles through a holistic approach combining plant-based nutrition, natural medicine, and deep trauma healing.

                Listeners will learn how PMDD differs from PMS, the hidden links between trauma, hormones, and nervous system regulation, and why healing the root causes—not just managing symptoms—is the key to freedom. This conversation offers practical insights for anyone experiencing emotional or physical struggles tied to their cycle, and hope for lasting peace on the other side of healing.

                About the Guest:

                Camilla Brinkworth is a degree-qualified naturopath, nutritionist, and trauma-informed healing specialist who empowers women to reclaim their health from PMDD and other cycle-related challenges. Through her clinical expertise and personal experience, Camilla guides women worldwide with compassion, evidence-based solutions, and a holistic healing approach.

                Key Takeaways :

                • PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) is a distinct and more severe condition than PMS, often triggered by unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation.

                • Diet and lifestyle are foundational for balancing hormones and reducing inflammation, but trauma work is often the missing key for lasting healing.

                • PMDD symptoms include severe mood swings, rage, depression, and a sense of being out of control, which can significantly affect relationships and work life.

                • Camilla’s holistic method combines plant-based nutrition, herbal medicine, trauma-processing therapies, and boundary-setting for powerful emotional and physical recovery.

                • Healing from PMDD brings more than symptom relief—it leads to a deeper sense of safety, self-trust, and inner peace.

                                  • Unmasking the Real You: Healing, Hugs & Radical Self-Acceptance – with Melinda Lee Schmitt

                                    In this deeply honest episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with empowerment coach and author Melinda Lee Schmitt to explore what it truly means to live authentically. Melinda shares how she walked away from the life she was told would bring happiness—marriage, motherhood, stability—and faced the raw reality of losing it all to find herself. Her healing journey wasn’t polished—it was awkward, painful, and human. From hugging thousands of strangers to reclaiming her inner child, Melinda speaks on embracing the mess, showing up unfiltered, and grounding in gratitude and energy work. If you've ever felt stuck performing for others or questioned who you really are—this episode is a must-listen.

                                    About the Guest:

                                    Melinda Lee is an empowerment coach, energy intuitive, and author of Rebel Hugger. Her transformational journey through pandemic divorce, deep loss, and radical vulnerability is at the heart of her work helping others shed masks and embrace their messy, magnificent truth.

                                    Key Takeaways:

                                    • Melinda describes her past life as a people-pleasing pursuit of societal ideals—marriage, motherhood, and stability—that ultimately left her unfulfilled.

                                    • Her breaking point came not from judgment, but isolation; losing friends, her partner, and financial security after choosing to live authentically.

                                    • The real shift came through vulnerability: hugging thousands of strangers during her “Year of Hugs” showed her a version of herself that felt free, unmasked, and aligned.

                                    • Healing isn’t perfect—it’s awkward, emotional, and nonlinear. But each step inward was a return to her truest self, even if that self wasn’t always likable.

                                    • Daily grounding rituals like barefoot walks, gratitude journaling, and energy clearing help Melinda stay centered in the chaos of life’s curveballs.

                                    • Authenticity isn’t about perfection—it’s about accepting your flaws, emotions, and past decisions with compassion, and knowing you’re worthy regardless.

                                          • Regeneration Over Age: Natural Detox, Healing & Vitality at Any Stage with Dr. Shirley Piccarreto

                                            Are you degenerating or regenerating? In this transformative episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana is joined by Dr. Shirley Piccarreto—Doctor of Naturopathy, bestselling author, and holistic wellness expert—to explore how aging is not about numbers but about how we treat our bodies. Learn the truth about natural detoxing, adrenal fatigue, hormonal balance, and how lifestyle choices can accelerate or reverse aging. Whether you're in your 30s or 60s, this conversation is packed with practical, grounded insights to help you reclaim energy, restore your body, and take control of your well-being—without falling for fads.

                                            About the Guest:

                                            Dr. Shirley Piccarreto is a Doctor of Naturopathy, bestselling author, herbalist, yoga teacher, and global wellness educator with over 30 years of experience. A personal survivor of chronic pain and surgeries, she empowers women through her “Wise Woman Wellness” community and helps people across the globe rebuild their health using simple, natural approaches rooted in ancient wisdom.

                                            Key Takeaways :

                                            • Regeneration is a choice, not age-dependent: Dr. Shirley debunks the myth that aging equals decline. The body regenerates skin daily, the gut lining every few days, and even the liver within months. This means every day is a chance to heal.

                                            • Toxins are silently damaging us: From food preservatives to cleaning products, the modern lifestyle exposes us to hidden toxins. Dr. Shirley emphasizes regular liver and colon detoxes—not through fads, but with fiber, herbs, and balance.

                                            • Detox isn’t about juice cleanses: A true detox supports natural systems like the liver, kidneys, and skin. Cleansing should be gentle and not interrupt daily life. Her method includes realistic support for people with full-time jobs and night shifts.

                                            • Your mind and mood mirror your body’s health: Symptoms like fatigue, skin dullness, irritability, and poor sleep can all be signs of toxin overload. When we clean up our internal systems, mental clarity and emotional resilience follow.

                                            • Your healing is in your hands: Dr. Shirley's personal story of recovering from hip surgeries in her 60s proves that energy, strength, and joy can return with consistency and the right self-care rituals.

                                                  • Where Science Meets Soul: Healing Beyond Medicine with Dr. Patrick Tran

                                                    In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana speaks with Dr. Patrick Tran, a double board-certified dermatologist and surgeon who found himself face-to-face with a truth science couldn’t solve—his toddler’s rare and aggressive cancer. What followed was not a rejection of medicine but a radical expansion of what healing could look like. Dr. Tran shares how a sacred plant medicine ceremony and Kundalini activation shifted his worldview forever. He now guides high achievers to reconnect with their life force—not to “optimize” but to feel. This conversation explores trauma, structured Kundalini work, the dangers of spiritual bypassing, and how surrender, not control, may be our most powerful medicine.

                                                    About the Guest

                                                    Dr. Patrick Tran is a physician, surgeon, and Kundalini energy facilitator. He blends the clinical precision of Western medicine with the embodied wisdom of energetic healing, helping high performers integrate trauma, awaken consciousness, and redefine healing beyond symptom relief.

                                                    Key Takeaways

                                                    • Dr. Tran's spiritual journey began before his son’s cancer diagnosis but was deepened by it. The emotional devastation led him to seek grace beyond clinical knowledge.

                                                    • A 2020 plant medicine ceremony shattered his rigid scientific worldview, initiating a Kundalini awakening and shifting how he defined healing.

                                                    • Structured Kundalini is not about spectacle but inner purification, releasing stored trauma, and restoring energetic flow through the body.

                                                    • He warns that even spiritual work can become ego-driven, especially for high achievers, and emphasizes that real growth lies in integration, not transcendence.

                                                    • Dr. Tran responds to skeptics with grounded insight: even placebo is powerful. If belief can heal, then energy medicine deserves a place alongside clinical care.

                                                    • The Sacred Reawakening of Midlife: Soulful Medicine, Intuition & Identity with Dr. Sue McCreadie

                                                      Midlife isn't a crisis—it's a calling. In this deep and soulful episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana is joined by Dr. Sue McCreadie, MD—a physician, mom, and midlife transformation coach—to explore the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of the “messy middle.” Together, they unpack what it really means to tune in when life is loud, how hormones and shifting identities impact women at midlife, and why soulful medicine—combining science, spirit, and story—is the key to healing and wholeness. Whether you're navigating burnout, perimenopause, or a quiet sense of “what now?” this episode offers powerful rituals, intuitive tools, and wisdom for reclaiming your energy, voice, and self.

                                                      About the Guest:

                                                      Dr. Sue McCreadie is a board-certified MD, integrative paediatrician, midlife mentor, and founder of the Soulfull Medicine method. She guides women through transitions of burnout, hormonal changes, and spiritual awakening by blending medical expertise with intuitive wisdom. Her work centers around helping women rediscover joy, balance, and purpose in the second half of life.

                                                      Key Takeaways :

                                                      • Midlife is not a decline—it’s a reawakening. Dr. Sue reframes midlife as a sacred threshold where your soul speaks louder, not quieter.

                                                      • Slowing down is not failure—it’s survival. She shares how being forced to slow down led her to deeper self-awareness and ultimately, soulful medicine.

                                                      • Women’s midlife experiences are physiologically and emotionally unique. From hormones to caregiving roles, she outlines how perimenopause and societal expectations add complexity.

                                                      • Soulfull medicine combines intuition and logic. Through journaling, meditation, and even tarot, women can reconnect with their soul’s needs and direction.

                                                      • Ask better questions, like “What would love do?” This simple yet transformative question helps reframe hard decisions through the lens of compassion and alignment.

                                                              On this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with visionary entrepreneur and purpose-driven founder Lilly Field to explore how building soul-aligned businesses can harmonize impact with inner wisdom. Lilly shares how her journey from chronic burnout to cyclical living led her to create WombWise Co. and Founder Flow Accelerator, which align business strategy with menstrual cycles. She also discusses her AI-powered platform Me2We, designed to help entrepreneurs find value-aligned collaborators.

                                                              In this intimate conversation, Lilly talks about breaking the taboo around menstruation in high-performance environments, why working in isolation doesn’t work for mission-driven leaders, and how honoring our natural rhythms enhances productivity, creativity, and well-being. This is a must-listen for anyone striving to lead with purpose, avoid burnout, and build conscious communities.

                                                                          In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana is joined by licensed therapist, coach, and single mom of three—Zoey Kyriacou. Together, they unpack the emotional weight of people-pleasing, the cultural conditioning that makes it hard to say no, and how positive thinking can easily turn into emotional bypassing if not rooted in awareness.

                                                                          You’ll learn the real meaning of boundaries (spoiler: they’re not about others), how anxiety tricks your brain, and why reframing your thoughts is essential for mental clarity. Zoey shares accessible strategies for energy hygiene, managing emotional overwhelm, and using mindset as a grounding—not escaping—tool.

                                                                          This episode is a call to pause, protect your peace, and lead with self-respect in both personal and professional spaces.

                                                                          About the Guest:

                                                                          Zoey Kyriacou is the founder of Mastermind Counseling and Mastermind Coaching, a licensed therapist and coach who blends clinical insight with grounded wisdom. She specializes in helping high-functioning adults set boundaries, break anxiety loops, and build healthier internal narratives.

                                                                          Key Takeaways:

                                                                          • Boundaries aren’t about controlling others—they are a mindset and behavioral shift you make for yourself.

                                                                          • Saying no doesn’t make you difficult; it makes you self-aware. “No” is a full sentence.

                                                                          • Women, especially, are conditioned to be agreeable. Undoing that starts with affirming: I am enough.

                                                                          • Thought hygiene is essential. Ask yourself: Are my thoughts based on facts? Are they helping me feel better? Are they aligned with my goals?

                                                                          • Don’t emotionally bypass. Feel your emotions, recognize them, but don’t make life decisions from that reactive state.

                                                                          • Anxiety exaggerates threat and downplays your ability to cope—challenge it.

                                                                          • Simple energy resets: short walks, breathwork, and conscious movement help interrupt negative cycles and re-anchor you.

                                                                          • In workspaces, you can be kind and assertive. Use language that’s both respectful and firm to uphold your boundaries.

                                                                                    In this soul-stirring episode of , Sana sits down with Jeff Feinman—a molecular biologist, holistic veterinarian, and founder of Holistic Actions—to explore how healing for our pets and ourselves is rooted in energy, presence, and compassionate care. Drawing from decades of experience and a personal 35-year journey through undiagnosed illness, Jeff shares how true wellness is found not in suppressing symptoms, but in tuning in to what our bodies and our animals are trying to tell us.

                                                                                    We explore his upcoming book Path to Pet Wellness, the power of intuitive interspecies communication, and his BEAM (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood) model and Happiness Protocol. This is a deeply reflective and educational episode for anyone who shares their life with animals and wants to create a better, more conscious path to health—for all beings.

                                                                                    Dr. Jeff Feinman is a molecular biologist turned holistic veterinarian and founder of HolisticActions.com. With a unique background in science and energetics, he helps pet parents shift from symptom suppression to true wellness through holistic approaches rooted in mindfulness, homeopathy, and intuitive animal communication. His forthcoming book Path to Pet Wellness offers a roadmap for compassionate, present, and science-informed care.

                                                                                    Key Takeaways :

                                                                                    • Jeff lived with undiagnosed chronic illness for 35 years, which taught him that healing is a relationship, not a diagnosis.

                                                                                    • His shift came through mindfulness, Ayurveda, yoga, and deep energetic awareness—principles he now applies to pet care.

                                                                                    • His BEAM model (Behavior, Energy, Appetite, Mood) helps measure and optimize pets’ quality of life beyond symptom treatment.

                                                                                    • Jeff’s spiritual experience with his beloved dog Archie’s passing became the catalyst for completing Path to Pet Wellness.

                                                                                    • Through intuitive interspecies communication and teachings from Eckhart Tolle’s School of Awakening, Jeff emphasizes that animals are not just pets—they are our energetic companions and spiritual teachers.

                                                                                    • His Happiness Protocol invites both humans and animals to elevate wellness through laughter, movement, and presence.

                                                                                    • The episode encourages listeners to trust their intuition, advocate for their pets, and embrace a holistic mindset shift in healthcare.
