In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I’m joined by Krystal Sanchez, founder of Live Well with Krystal and a nutrition consultant and health coach who supports women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

We talk about why women need support outside of just medical appointments, the pressure to do everything perfectly, and how holistic health — sleep, stress, environment, relationships, and joy — plays a critical role in how women experience motherhood and hormonal transitions.

Krystal shares how motherhood can cause women to lose themselves, why perfection is actually harmful to health, and how reconnecting with joy and intuition can change the entire journey.

If you’re navigating fertility challenges, postpartum recovery, hormonal changes, or simply feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from yourself, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to do it alone — and you don’t have to be perfect.

In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I’m joined by Dr. Meher Chahal — a former psychiatry resident who made the courageous decision to walk away from Western medicine to explore healing at the root.

We talk about inherited trauma, ancestral patterns, and the invisible stories we carry that shape our lives. Dr. Chahal shares her journey from practicing psychiatry to discovering Family Constellations work, and why she believes true healing goes beyond symptom management.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying something that isn’t yours…
questioning everything you were taught about success, identity, or family…
or sensing that your healing needs to go deeper — this conversation is for you.

We also discuss her book Unlicensed Medicine and how understanding your lineage can change the way you understand yourself.

In this episode of Unmute with Priya, I sit down with Farla Efros, a Fortune 500 turnaround strategist whose life changed in an instant when she received a diagnosis of aggressive cancer during a client call.

Instead of approaching her diagnosis like most patients, Farla approached it the way she had spent decades fixing struggling companies — with strategy, organization, and a willingness to question everything. She stepped into the role of becoming the CEO of her own health.

We talk about advocating for yourself inside the medical system, why so many people give their power away after a diagnosis, and how reclaiming agency can completely change the healing journey.

Farla’s upcoming book, F*ck Cancer: Commanding Your Comeback When Your Body Has Turned on You, will be released March 24.

In this episode of Unmute with Priya, Priya sits down with Robin Goad—a powerhouse technology executive at Amazon Web Services, speaker, coach, mother, grandmother, and brand-new author of Girl by Birth, Woman by Fire.

Robin shares the real story behind her title (including the 3:30am “download” that landed it), and what it means to become the woman you were meant to be—especially when midlife, menopause, and career pressure collide. Priya and Robin talk about the hidden ways women learn to perform, over-function, and “hold it all together,” and the turning points that force you to stop pretending everything is fine.

They also get practical: Robin breaks down why corporate America is a game with rules most women were never taught—and how to win without losing yourself. You’ll hear about identifying your superpower, creating a clear career narrative, setting boundaries that protect your nervous system, and building financial confidence one step at a time.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overlooked, exhausted, or caught in the cycle of proving yourself—this conversation is your reminder that you can rewrite the story, refine in the fire, and come out clearer, stronger, and more you.

For decades, women have been told that weight is a willpower problem — that if they just tried harder, ate less, or exercised more, everything would change. But what if that narrative was never true to begin with?

In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, Priya sits down with Dr. Laurie DeMattia, an obesity medicine and family medicine physician with over 20 years of experience helping women understand their bodies without shame or self-blame. Drawing from both her clinical expertise and her own lived experience with binge eating disorder and weight stigma, Dr. DeMattia dismantles the myth that willpower is the answer — and explains why physiology, hormones, trauma, and life stage all play a role.

Together, they explore the hidden impact of childhood dieting, the guilt-shame cycle that keeps women stuck, the intense pressure around thinness, and what really happens during perimenopause when the body suddenly stops responding the way it used to. Dr. DeMattia also introduces her CHEF Framework — a compassionate, science-based way to understand cravings, hunger, energy, and fullness without judgment.

What happens when your voice is taken from you so slowly that one day you don’t recognize yourself anymore?

In this powerful conversation, Priya sits down with Dr. Karolina James, founder of Echo No More Coaching, to talk about the invisible realities of narcissistic abuse—emotional manipulation, gaslighting, spiritual abuse, financial abuse, and the long-term identity erosion that can happen behind closed doors.

Dr. James shares her personal story of surviving a covert narcissistic marriage and the moment everything changed: when she saw those same patterns beginning to target her child. Together, they unpack what narcissism actually is (and why people minimize it), why “just leave” is the least helpful advice, and how abuse often continues even after separation—especially when court systems and co-parenting are involved.

This episode is about reclaiming your reality, rebuilding your identity, and taking practical steps to unmute your voice again—one decision at a time. Dr. James also shares why documentation and journaling can be a lifeline when your perception of reality has been distorted, and what it really takes to create a strategy for healing and freedom.

Heartbreak doesn’t just end a relationship — it can unravel your sense of identity, your future plans, and the version of yourself you thought you were becoming.

In this episode, Priya sits down with breakup coach Sarah Curnoles, founder of Over It and Onward, to talk about what it really takes to rebuild after a breakup — not by rushing to “move on,” but by reconnecting with yourself.

Sarah shares her personal story of loss, the grief of losing an imagined future, and why time alone doesn’t heal heartbreak. Together, they explore the pressure to get over it, the myth of closure, how toxic relationships disconnect you from your intuition, and why healing requires turning inward — not chasing answers from an ex.

This conversation is for anyone navigating the messy middle after a breakup, learning to trust themselves again, and discovering that heartbreak can become a powerful doorway back to who you really are.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I now?” — this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

Priya Sudarsanam talks with Dr. Sage Breslin on Narcissistic Abuse, Stockholm Syndrome, and Reclaiming Your Soul.

Episode 7 of Unmute with Priya, Priya Sudarsanam sits down with Dr. Sage Breslin, trauma psychologist and creator of the Rose System, for a powerful and clarifying conversation about narcissistic relationships—and why so many strong, capable people slowly lose themselves inside them.

Together, they unpack why “just leave” is not only unhelpful, but deeply misunderstanding what’s actually happening in the nervous system and psyche. Dr. Breslin explains Stockholm syndrome in relationships, how your reality can be rewritten for survival, and why empaths, intuitives, and “old souls” are often targeted.

This episode explores:

How narcissistic abuse decimates identity over time

Why smart, high-achieving people still get trapped

How shame and self-blame keep people stuck

What it means to put your soul into “safekeeping”—and how to retrieve it

Why healing isn’t about getting over it, but getting into it

How to reclaim sovereignty, intuition, and your voice again

If you’ve ever asked yourself “How did I get here?” or felt muted, confused, or disconnected after a relationship, this episode is a reminder of one essential truth:

It’s not your fault—and you are not broken.
