The Mindful Journey

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Sharon Ann Rose to explore what burnout really signals when life still looks “fine” from the outside. They unpack why burnout can be a loss of inner fire, why grief can come from outgrowing an identity, and how transitions can be sacred thresholds instead of problems to fix.

This conversation is for anyone feeling emotionally tired, quietly disoriented, or unsure who they are becoming, especially women navigating caregiving, career shifts, and changing roles. You will walk away with a calmer, more grounded way to approach change with patience, community, and self-respect.

Sharon Ann Rose is a ceremonialist, author, and guide who supports women through burnout, grief, and life transitions. She is the author of Faces of the Mother and draws on feminine wisdom traditions, archetypal psychology, and ritual.

Treat burnout as a signal to return to what truly warms and fuels you, not a personal failure

Steady your “inner fire” so you can give fully without running on stress and adrenaline

Name the grief of outgrowing roles, identities, or relationships, even without a single clear event

Honor the season you are leaving so you can step into the next one with less fear and resentment

Move at a nature-paced rhythm: slow, regulated, and compassionate, especially when emotions are raw

Healing works better with support and community, not isolation

Most people treat consciousness as an abstract idea. In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Yusuf sits down with Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. to explore consciousness as a lived experience shaped by burnout, health challenges, and recovery. You will hear why “knowing” is not the same as “experiencing,” and how awareness can expand through intentional practice.

This conversation is for anyone feeling disconnected, questioning identity, or trying to lead and live with more clarity in a demanding world. Dr. Locust shares how fasting, meditation, and mind body spirit integration can unlock deeper fields of awareness and a more grounded sense of meaning.

Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. is the founder of ConsiRise. He has worked as a graduate professor, researcher, and former vice president of inclusive excellence, and he blends academic thinking with lived spiritual exploration.

Consciousness is often oversimplified because most people never learn it experientially

Mind, body, and spirit work as one system, growth in one area alone creates blind spots

Practices like meditation can expand “fields of awareness,” not just calm the mind

A long fast can reveal how intention and willpower shape the body and perception

Connection to nature can become a real-time anchor when energy drops or doubt rises

Try a grounding visualization: connect your spine to the Earth, release heavy emotions, receive steadier energy

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with holistic wellness coach and author Kerisma Vere to reframe gratitude into something deeper and more realistic: self-gratitude. Instead of forcing positivity, this conversation explores how self-gratitude can become a grounded way to build self-trust, self-attunement, and emotional steadiness.

This episode is for anyone feeling anxious, burnt out, or stuck in self-criticism, especially when traditional “just be grateful” advice feels dismissive. You will learn how to practice self-gratitude without turning it into another task, and how to stay compassionate without bypassing real pain.

Kerisma Vere is a holistic wellness coach and author who supports people through complex, real-life change using a trauma-informed, non-prescriptive approach. She also created a self-gratitude journal and is launching a course called From Pressure to Path.

Self-gratitude is honest recognition, not forced positivity or “good vibes only.”

Notice your inner critic first, then create a small pause to choose a kinder response.

Regulation works better when you meet yourself where you are, not who you “should” be.

Sustainable change comes from support and compassion, not pressure, shame, or perfectionism.

Gratitude can feel unsafe in grief or depression; start with validation, then offer gentle perspective.

Use quick prompts or bullet notes to retrain your brain to see your effort, not only your flaws.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Scarlett Seebach to explore energy work in a grounded, real-life way, covering Reiki, human design, crystals, and Scarlett’s approach to Astral Reiki. This conversation is for anyone who feels curious but skeptical, and wants to know where intuition ends and personal responsibility begins.

You will hear how energy tools can support clarity, boundaries, and decision-making without becoming an excuse, a label, or an escape from reality. If you want a practical way to explore these modalities without forcing belief, this episode will help.

Scarlett Seebach is a human design reader, Reiki master, certified crystal healer, and the creator of Astral Reiki. She focuses on energetic transformation that translates into choices, boundaries, and daily behavior.

Use energy tools to build clarity and self-awareness, not to “fix” yourself.

Think of Reiki as energy replenishment that can improve perspective and boundaries.

Treat human design as a tool for optimal functioning, not a personality label or limitation.

Choose the modality that genuinely fits you, crystals are optional and skepticism is fair.

Prioritize validation and real outcomes when working with invisible or subtle practices.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with author, artist, educator, and storyteller Lorie Kleiner Eckert to explore her newest book Chai on Life (also known as High on Life). Together, they unpack why real life learning can feel messy, how small moments carry big lessons, and why the “joy in the journey” is more than just a phrase.

This conversation is for anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from gratitude. You will hear practical ways to rebuild momentum on hard days, how to find and keep friendships across life stages, and why journaling can help you process problems, grow resilience, and rediscover the meaning already present in your day to day life.

Lorie Kleiner Eckert is an author, artist, educator, and storyteller who writes short, slice of life stories designed to help readers notice meaning in everyday experiences. She shares her work through books, blog posts, and visual art, including quilt artwork.

Use a simple gratitude scan: list small wins from the day to retrain your attention toward what is working.

On dark days, follow a two-step reset: keep a healthy routine, then take one meaningful step forward.

Create an accountability log: write the date and the one step you took daily to build momentum.

Friendship is findable at any stage: reconnect with early friends, look within extended family, and join groups aligned with your life.

If happiness feels out of reach, treat it as both an addition and subtraction problem: add what helps, remove what harms.

Use journaling to solve problems: write it out, track what worked, and build a repeatable blueprint.

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Dr. Christiaan Oranje (The SoulMatters Mentor)to make “5D living” practical, grounded, and real. They unpack how growth is not about escaping life, but changing how you show up inside it.

This conversation is for anyone stuck in repeating patterns, feeling hijacked by stress, or craving genuine inner change without spiritual shortcuts. You will hear why the “bridge” matters, how conditioning forms, and what it takes to create safety for deep transformation.

Dr. Christiaan Oranje, The SoulMatters Mentor, specializes in disentangling unconscious habits and conditioning. He shares lessons from his personal journey and his work supporting affluent, soul-seeking women.

Treat 5D as an inner state, not a place to reach

Do not skip the “bridge” phase of healing and clarity

Notice how conditioning shapes beliefs, emotions, and coping habits

Use resistance as information, not proof you are broken

Build a “safety net” before doing deep inner work

In this episode of The Mindful Journey Podcast, host Sana sits down with Nic Scogna to unpack what “being triggered” really means and why it often has less to do with the present moment and more to do with your emotional history. Nic shares insights from the Self-Awareness Formula (SAF), a system developed by his parents, focused on mapping how past experiences shape today’s automatic reactions.

This episode is for anyone who feels emotionally reactive, drained by old patterns, or stuck in loops they cannot explain. You’ll learn a practical way to spot triggers sooner, reduce their intensity, and build a realistic reset plan you can actually follow even after motivation fades.

Nic Scogna grew up immersed in the Self-Awareness Formula (SAF), created by his parents Joseph and Kathy Scogna. He now helps translate decades of manuscripts and research into practical tools for modern self-awareness and stress pattern understanding.

A trigger is an automatic response tied to older memories, not just what happened today

“Personal proof” matters, but broad acceptance requires stronger evidence and clarity

Unresolved trauma can quietly consume energy that could be used in the present

Use awareness to shift from reacting automatically to choosing your response

Try a weekly 15-minute self-investigation habit to trace what your trigger is pointing to

Focus on observing yourself, not fixing yourself, to build trust and consistency

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with longevity specialist and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner Alejandra Garcia to explore a grounded idea: your body responds to the signals you send daily, thoughts, stress, sleep, food, and connection.

This conversation is for anyone (especially women) who feels “I’m doing everything right, but I still feel off.” You’ll hear why women need a different longevity playbook, how identity beats willpower, and what to track or ask for without spiraling into health anxiety.

Alejandra Garcia is a longevity specialist and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner based in Southern California. Her work is female-centric and mindset-led, shaped by her own early menopause experience and burnout recovery.

Treat stress signals like data, not personal failure

Shift identity from “trying” to “I am a health optimizer”

Support sleep as your daily “cell cleanup” window

Add parasympathetic habits: nose-breathing workouts, breathwork, nature walks

Prioritize community with a recurring plan (like a quarterly dinner)

Track measurable markers like REM sleep, VO2 max, and inflammation labs

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Yusuf sits down with Caleb Matthews to unpack a deceptively simple word that can change everything: willingness. They explore why so many people assume purpose is for “someone else,” and how fear, self-doubt, and identity stories quietly keep us playing small.

This conversation is for anyone who feels called to more but keeps waiting to feel ready. You will walk away with a grounded way to practice willingness daily, stay humble while standing out, and move forward with faith, action, and alignment instead of pressure.

Caleb Matthews explores spirituality, dreams, history, and culture, and has spoken globally for over 20 years. He shares practical spiritual frameworks and has interpreted thousands of dreams while working with diverse audiences.

Fear often disguises itself as “I’m not ready,” and repetition makes that belief feel real.

Willingness is not hype, it is a steady inner posture: ask, seek, and knock.

You move faster when you stop paddling alone and let support, faith, and direction guide you.

A simple habit: step back, inventory your life, and say “I’m willing” in the area you need help most.

Staying humble keeps purpose clean: serve people, stay grounded, and remember where you started.
