    Timing vs. Willpower: Timing as a Tool for Personal Development

    In this episode of The Heal Method, host Madhavi explores the importance of timing over willpower in making life changes. She discusses how trying to change at the wrong time can lead to frustration and self-blame, and emphasizes the significance of aligning efforts with the right moments. Madhavi shares insights on how timing affects communication, confidence, and personal growth, encouraging listeners to honor their own rhythms and needs. What you will learn:Timing matters more than willpower. Change is easier when your nervous system has room. Willpower cannot override depletion. Rest is not procrastination. Sustainable change happens when effort and timing align. Confidence shows up when your system feels steady. Fresh starts are about internal readiness, not calendars. Healing grows when the body feels resourced. Pausing is not failure. Timing is information, not an excuse. Be sure to follow the podcast so you’ll be notified each week when a new episode drops!

    From the Mat Into Life: Building Energy Through Sleep, Nourishment, and Movement

    What do we need to truly feel energized, healthy, and supported in our bodies as we move through life? In this episode, I share how the foundations of sleep, nourishment, and movement directly influence our energy levels, anxiety, and overall well-being. When these basics are neglected, the body becomes exhausted—and that exhaustion affects every area of life. I also explain what makes my approach unique: I coach you while you’re on the mat, teaching lifestyle practices you can carry from the mat into everyday life to support a healthier, more pain-free lifestyle. If you’re seeking more energy, balance, and sustainable habits that support your body and life, this episode is for you.
