    Ep. 102 - Why Healing Never Ends and What That Really Means with Dr. Tara Chalakani

    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Dr. Tara Chalakani, a nationally recognized mental health expert, CEO, licensed psychotherapist, and thought leader with over 30 years of experience at the intersection of healthcare, leadership, and personal transformation. Dr. Tara's journey is rooted in resilience. Raised in Newark, New Jersey, she came from humble beginnings, navigating early life challenges that would ultimately become the fuel for her growth. Rather than allowing her circumstances to define her, she made a conscious decision to use her experiences as a catalyst—committing herself to education, service, and helping others heal. Today, she leads a $39 million behavioral health nonprofit, runs a thriving psychotherapy practice, and co-hosts the Well Off Podcast. Her work blends evidence-based clinical practice with spiritual grounding, helping individuals reconnect with their truth, process trauma, and step into more aligned versions of themselves. This conversation explores the depth of healing—from trauma and identity to leadership and purpose—and highlights the ongoing nature of personal growth. As Dr. Tara emphasizes, the work is never done. Growth is a lifelong commitment. What We Discuss Growing up in Newark and using adversity as fuel for growth The difference between living as a victim vs. using your story as power The importance of starting each day with intention, gratitude, and spiritual grounding Adam's recovery journey and the role of spirituality in sobriety Emotional processing, grief, and why there's no "right way" to feel Why curiosity—not judgment—is key in healing Understanding EMDR therapy and how it helps reprocess trauma The importance of self-awareness in therapy and leadership Learning not to take things personally and separating identity from others' behavior Breaking generational patterns and redefining family dynamics Forgiveness, compassion, and seeing parents as people—not just authority figures Leadership lessons from running a large nonprofit organization The difference between purpose-driven work and profit-driven work The importance of presence, transparency, and communication in leadership Balancing career, motherhood, and personal well-being Why true connection cannot be replaced by social media Building a life rooted in purpose, not just a paycheck About Dr. Tara Chalakani Dr. Tara Chalakani is a CEO, licensed psychotherapist, and nationally recognized mental health expert with over three decades of experience in healthcare and executive leadership. She leads a multi-million dollar behavioral health nonprofit, operates a private psychotherapy practice, and co-hosts the Well Off Podcast alongside Gina Simm. With degrees in nursing, psychology, mental health counseling, and a doctorate in psychology, Dr. Tara integrates science, spirituality, and trauma-informed care—including EMDR—to help individuals heal, grow, and step into their power. She is also the founder of New Horizon Coaching, where she works with women to rewrite their stories and create meaningful, purpose-driven lives.

Final Reflection Healing isn't about arriving somewhere. It's about continuing to show up—with curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to grow. Your past doesn't define you. It informs you. And when you choose to use it as fuel instead of a limitation, it becomes the very thing that leads you to your purpose.

    Ep. 101 - How Seth Stahlmann Built Purpose Through Responsibility Family and Business

    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Seth Stahlmann, Regional Director at Tweeds Clothier in Rye, New York, for a conversation rooted in discipline, responsibility, and commitment. Seth's story is anything but conventional. Raised in Sarasota, Florida as one of seven children in a family with limited means, he began working at just 12 years old—quickly learning the value of effort, time, and self-worth. By 14, he was balancing college coursework with work and creative pursuits, and by 18, he married his middle school sweetheart. A year later, he became a father—stepping fully into adulthood with purpose and urgency. Today, Seth leads the Tweeds location in Rye, working with high-performing professionals and entrepreneurs to help them look and feel their best through bespoke tailoring. But this conversation goes far beyond suits. This is about identity. This is about commitment. This is about what happens when responsibility becomes the foundation for purpose. Seth shares how fatherhood pushed him into entrepreneurship, why he walked away from traditional career paths, and how building something meaningful often requires betting on yourself before you feel ready. What We Discuss Growing up as one of seven children and developing patience, resilience, and responsibility Starting work at 12 years old and entering the digital marketing world early The lesson of "fast, good, cheap — pick two" and how it shaped his mindset Why authenticity matters more than ever in today's digital landscape Moving from Florida to New York and building a business in a new market The importance of community, relationships, and networking in business growth Why entrepreneurship provided more alignment than a traditional corporate path Becoming a father at a young age and how it reshaped his priorities Marriage, commitment, and building a life with intention Seth's journey with faith and returning to it during a time of success The psychology of image, confidence, and how people present themselves Why how you show up physically can impact how others perceive your value The role of trust and relationships in building a sustainable business Why purpose often evolves—and sometimes pushes you in unexpected directions Key Themes From the Conversation Commitment Creates Depth One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is Seth's perspective on commitment. In a world where many people avoid long-term decisions—whether in relationships, careers, or personal growth—Seth emphasizes that depth only comes from staying with something long enough to truly understand it. Without commitment, experiences remain surface-level. With commitment, they become transformative. Responsibility as a Catalyst for Purpose Fatherhood became a defining turning point in Seth's life. It forced him to move beyond exploration and into execution—finding a path that not only fulfilled him but allowed him to provide for his family. Rather than seeing responsibility as a burden, Seth embraced it as direction. Authenticity Over Perfection From his early days in digital marketing to his current work in tailoring, Seth highlights a core truth: People don't connect with perfection—they connect with authenticity. In a world filled with noise, shortcuts, and surface-level content, genuine expression and real craftsmanship stand out. Image, Identity, and Confidence Through his work at Tweeds, Seth has developed a deep understanding of how presentation impacts perception. While clothing does not define who someone is, it can influence how they are received—and in many cases, how they feel about themselves. Confidence is internal, but how you present yourself can either reinforce or undermine it. About Seth Stahlmann Seth Stahlmann is the Regional Director at Tweeds Clothier, a bespoke tailoring company specializing in custom garments for professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals who value craftsmanship and personal style. With a background in digital marketing and years of experience across multiple industries, Seth brings a relationship-driven approach to his work—focusing on trust, quality, and helping clients present themselves with confidence. He currently leads operations in Rye, New York.

    Purpose Panels Wellness Edition: A Live Conversation on Wellness, Community, and Purpose

    This special episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast features the first-ever Purpose Panels Wellness Edition, recorded live in front of an audience. Purpose Panels were created as an extension of the podcast — an opportunity to bring meaningful conversations into a shared physical space where community, vulnerability, and growth can happen in real time. After recording his 100th episode, Adam wanted to create an in-person experience where people could connect, share their journeys, and learn from leaders who are living with intention in the wellness space. The theme of the conversation centers around the idea of "yet." A yet can represent a turning point in someone's life — a moment where they recognize something must change. That moment might feel negative in the moment, but it can also become the catalyst for transformation. Throughout the panel, each guest shares how their own personal "yet" moments shaped their careers, their approach to wellness, and their commitment to helping others live healthier, more intentional lives. This conversation explores the intersections of physical health, mental resilience, community, and purpose, highlighting how wellness is rarely a single discipline — it's the result of consistent habits, meaningful relationships, and the courage to make changes when life demands it. Panelists Nick Kausa Nick is the Director of HealthSpan at The Practice in Greenwich, where he focuses on evidence-based performance and longevity training designed to help people stay stronger for longer. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ncausa/ The Practice: https://www.instagram.com/thepractice_greenwich/ Robin Kaden Robin is a registered dietician and personal trainer with more than 25 years of experience, specializing in functional nutrition and skin health by helping clients heal from the inside out. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robinbarrie/ AJ Schrag AJ is a group fitness instructor, endurance athlete, and founder of Stamford Run Club, where he has built a thriving running community focused on accessibility, accountability, and connection through movement. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aj_schrag/ Stamford Run Club: https://www.instagram.com/stamford.runclub/ Andrea Della Mura Andrea is the owner of The DripBar Rye and a two-time cancer survivor who has built a wellness business centered around proactive health, community, and integrative healing. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrea.della.mura/ The DripBar Rye: https://www.instagram.com/thedripbar.rye/ What We Discuss The concept of "yet" and how pivotal life moments create opportunities for change The role wellness played in overcoming personal hardship Why community is one of the most powerful tools for long-term health The importance of sustainable habits over quick fixes How coaches and wellness professionals help people move past resistance The psychology behind motivation, discipline, and behavior change Why celebrating small wins is critical for long-term success The difference between looking fit and actually being healthy How nutrition, fitness, recovery, and preventative health work together Why purpose often emerges after life's most difficult challenges Key Themes From the Conversation The Power of "Yet" A "yet" represents a turning point — the moment someone recognizes something must change. For some people it's a health scare, a personal loss, burnout, or a realization that their current lifestyle is no longer sustainable. The panelists emphasize that these moments can either push us deeper into negative cycles or motivate us to seek support and create lasting change. Wellness Is a Long-Term Commitment Real growth rarely happens through dramatic overnight change. Instead, it's built through consistent habits, small victories, and long-term commitment to personal health. Whether it's nutrition, training, recovery, or mindset work, sustainable wellness comes from embracing the process — even when it's repetitive or uncomfortable. Community Accelerates Growth One of the most powerful takeaways from the panel is the role community plays in transformation. From run clubs to coaching relationships to wellness spaces like The DripBar, having people around you who support your journey can dramatically increase the likelihood of long-term success. Community provides accountability, encouragement, and a reminder that no one has to navigate their challenges alone. About Purpose Panels Purpose Panels are live events created by Adam as an extension of the Finding Purpose Podcast. These gatherings bring together leaders from different fields to have authentic conversations about growth, resilience, and the experiences that shape who we become. The goal is simple: Create spaces where people can learn, connect, and walk away with tools that help them move forward in their own lives. Future Purpose Panels will continue to explore themes around wellness, entrepreneurship, personal development, and recovery.

Final Reflection Wellness isn't just about physical health. It's about connection, accountability, purpose, and the willingness to grow through life's turning points. Sometimes the moment that feels like a setback becomes the exact catalyst needed to create meaningful change. And often, the first step toward that change is simply showing up.

    Ep. 100 - Adam Reflects on His Addiction Recovery Journey with His Former Therapist Sinead Murphy

    Episode 100 of the Finding Purpose Podcast is a deeply personal milestone. Instead of interviewing a traditional guest, Adam invites someone who witnessed some of the most difficult chapters of his life—his former therapist, Sinead Murphy. Adam first met Sinead in 2012 after receiving a DUI and being court-mandated into an intensive outpatient program. Over the years that followed, she watched him navigate addiction, relapse, grief, and the complicated dynamics of family relationships. In this conversation, Adam opens the door to his recovery journey in a way he hasn't before—reflecting on the events that shaped him, the emotional turning points that forced him to confront himself, and the lessons that ultimately led him to build a life rooted in purpose. Together, Adam and Sinead unpack the psychology of addiction, the role of ego and resentment, and the difficult but transformative work of self-awareness. The conversation explores identity, forgiveness, family dynamics, and the long road toward accountability and healing. This episode offers listeners a rare look into Adam's past—from the perspective of someone who had a front-row seat to it—and highlights the powerful truth that recovery is not about perfection, but about honesty, humility, and growth. As Adam reflects, recovery ultimately became purpose-driven—transforming pain into a platform for meaningful conversations and helping others find their own path forward. What We Discuss Why Adam chose this conversation to mark the 100th episode milestone Meeting Sinead after a DUI and court-mandated treatment in 2012 Early perceptions: confidence, ego, and the insecurity underneath it How discovering he was adopted at 13 shaped Adam's identity and behavior Addiction as a coping mechanism for feeling different and disconnected The role of ego, resentment, and entitlement in delaying recovery Processing the grief of losing his mother while maintaining sobriety Why shame and secrecy can fuel addiction The importance of honesty and self-compassion in recovery Learning to replace destructive habits with purposeful living The shift from consequence-driven sobriety to purpose-driven recovery Why accountability and community are critical to long-term change Key Themes From the Conversation Addiction, Identity, and the Mask We Wear Sinead reflects on Adam's early persona—confident, charismatic, and larger than life—while recognizing it as a defense mechanism hiding insecurity and fear. Addiction often becomes a way to manage identity struggles, particularly when someone feels like they don't belong. Grief, Forgiveness, and Family Dynamics One of the most powerful moments in Adam's journey came during the final days of his mother's life, when a conversation about forgiveness helped release years of resentment. That moment became a turning point that allowed him to maintain sobriety through an incredibly painful chapter. The Role of Ego in Addiction Adam reflects on how ego and manipulation allowed him to avoid accountability for years. Recovery required confronting difficult truths, removing blame, and accepting responsibility for his own life. Purpose-Driven Recovery A major breakthrough came when Adam stopped pursuing sobriety only to avoid consequences and began pursuing it with a deeper purpose. That shift eventually led to the creation of the Finding Purpose Podcast—a platform dedicated to meaningful conversations about growth, identity, and resilience. About Sinead Murphy Sinead Murphy is a licensed therapist who has spent over two decades working with individuals struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. She previously worked in residential treatment and intensive outpatient programs before opening her own private practice. Throughout her career, she has helped thousands of individuals navigate recovery, trauma, and personal transformation. Her approach centers on compassion, accountability, and helping individuals develop the self-awareness needed to build healthier lives. Connect with Adam Website https://www.adamvohra.com Instagram: Adam https://www.instagram.com/adamvohra_/ Instagram: Finding Purpose Podcast https://www.instagram.com/findingpurposepod/ Adam works with a limited number of individuals as a Recovery and Purpose Development Coach, helping people break old patterns, gain clarity, and build lives aligned with who they truly are. Final Reflection Episode 100 is more than a milestone—it's a full-circle moment. By inviting the therapist who helped guide him through some of his darkest periods, Adam offers listeners an honest and vulnerable look into the experiences that shaped him. The conversation serves as a reminder that recovery is not linear, healing takes time, and sometimes the most powerful growth comes from facing the parts of our story we once tried to hide.

    Ep. 99 - Andrea Della Mura on Surrender, Survival, and Building a Life That Matters

    In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Adam sits down with Andrea Della Mura — two-time breast cancer survivor, entrepreneur, mother, and owner of The DripBar Rye — to unpack resilience, surrender, entrepreneurship, and what it truly means to live with purpose. At just 24 years old, Andrea was diagnosed with breast cancer. Years later, a second diagnosis — discovered almost by accident through routine imaging and deeper pathology — likely saved her life. What could have been another chapter of fear instead became the beginning of her purpose-driven evolution. Today, Andrea channels her lived experience into proactive health, personalized wellness, and community-centered care through The DripBar in Rye, NY. But this episode goes far beyond IV vitamin therapy. This is about identity. This is about surrender. This is about finding purpose in the depths of adversity. What We Cover in This Episode Being diagnosed with breast cancer at 24 and navigating survival at a young age The life-saving second diagnosis discovered through microscopic testing The emotional toll of illness and learning to stop hiding Why surrender is not weakness — it's power Raising children after cancer and advocating for a son with autoimmune challenges Why "health is your wealth" isn't just a cliché The truth about vitamin D, magnesium, gut health, and proactive wellness Quick fixes vs. sustainable health practices Entrepreneurship as the ultimate personal development journey Investing her retirement to build The DripBar Building community through compassion and intentional leadership What purpose really means — and why it's often born in your lowest moments Key Takeaways Andrea shares something profound: purpose is rarely found in comfort. It's often discovered in the depths — when you surrender, strip away what no longer serves you, and listen to your intuition. She speaks openly about: Letting go of the need for approval Becoming worthy of success Leading with integrity Meeting people where they are And building a business rooted in impact — not ego This episode is a masterclass in resilience, faith, health advocacy, and entrepreneurial courage.

    Ep. 98 - The Science of Fear, Faith, and Performance with Christopher Gabriel

    In this episode, Adam sits down with Christopher Gabriel, integrative health practitioner, certified wellness counselor, and founder of Life Science Performance. For over 20 years, Christopher has worked with high-performing executives, families, and individuals seeking more than generic health advice. His approach merges data-driven functional lab testing with timeless mind-body-spirit practices — focusing not on quick fixes, but on root cause healing. This conversation explores the intersection of health, faith, fear, resilience, nervous system regulation, and purpose. Christopher shares his unconventional upbringing — being homeschooled from fifth grade through high school in Southern California, skipping grades, and developing an early obsession with knowledge acquisition. Raised by a physician father, he was exposed to medicine early on — but his own path evolved into integrative health and performance optimization. Together, we dive into: ✨ The difference between spirituality, faith, and religion ✨ Why knowledge is ultimately a search for truth ✨ The nervous system and the biological science of fear ✨ Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic states and how they shape your life ✨ Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a measurable indicator of stress and resilience ✨ The science of "I Am" statements and identity formation ✨ How ego protects identity — and when it becomes destructive ✨ Why purpose cannot be found in survival mode ✨ How trauma, loss, and fatherhood reshaped Christopher's emotional awareness ✨ Practical tools for stress recovery and nervous system regulation Christopher explains how fear drives sympathetic activation (fight-or-flight), and how most unhealthy coping mechanisms — addiction, escapism, isolation — stem from the body's attempt to feel safe. True resilience, he shares, is not about avoiding stress, but about how quickly we return to baseline. One of the most powerful themes in this episode is coherence — when the mind, body, and spirit are aligned. According to Christopher, purpose is not abstract. It is biological. When we are regulated, present, and free from chronic fear, we move from survival into thriving. This is a grounded and expansive conversation about identity, regulation, spirituality, and the measurable science behind well-being.

    Ep. 97 - Interior Design, Social Media, and Reinvention with Fern Murray

    In this episode, Adam sits down with Fern Murray, interior designer, founder of Fern's Nest Interior Design, and creative force behind Social Tide, a boutique social media agency helping brands tell their stories with clarity and intention. Originally from England, Fern moved to the United States over a decade ago with what was meant to be a one-year adventure as an au pair. That year turned into a life. From navigating cultural shifts and personal growth, to building two businesses rooted in creativity and connection, Fern's journey is a powerful reminder that purpose often unfolds through unexpected reinvention. Fern opens up about growing up in England, her parents' influence (a builder father and teacher mother), and how early exposure to home renovation quietly shaped her passion for interior design. She shares the experience that accelerated her maturity — serving as emotional support for two young girls who had just lost their mother — and how that season reshaped her independence and resilience. We dive into: ✨ Moving from England to the U.S. and building a life from scratch ✨ Marriage, homesickness, and navigating identity across cultures ✨ The psychology of interior design — scale, color theory, and how spaces affect mood ✨ Turning a creative passion into a thriving design business ✨ Why homes should reflect the people who live in them — not the designer ✨ Building Social Tide and helping brands develop authentic digital presence ✨ The power of storytelling and founder visibility in business ✨ Social media mistakes most small business owners make ✨ Consistency, authenticity, and evolving with digital culture ✨ Why connection is at the heart of purpose Fern shares that for her, purpose isn't a single destination — it's evolution. It's growth. It's education. It's connection. Whether designing a family's forever home or helping a brand find its voice, her work centers around helping people feel aligned — in their space, in their business, and in themselves. This is a thoughtful conversation about reinvention, motherhood, creativity, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to build something meaningful far from where you started.

    Ep. 96 - Purpose Between Two Worlds with Jamie Lee Zeno

    In this episode, Adam sits down with Jamie Lee Zeno, professionally known as Jay Lee — a licensed esthetician, oncology-certified skincare specialist, life and health coach, law enforcement sergeant, and beauty and wellness entrepreneur. Jamie is the founder and CEO of Jay Lee's Beauty Lounge, a luxury med spa brand based in Westchester County, with a flagship location in Eastchester and an upcoming Hartsdale storefront opening this February. Jamie's story is a powerful reflection of alignment, discipline, and trusting your inner calling — even when it means redefining success. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she grew up inspired by parents who modeled sacrifice, work ethic, and resilience. While law enforcement initially felt like her path, Jamie shares how COVID became a pivotal moment that helped her reconnect with a deeper calling: helping people heal, regain confidence, and feel whole again through beauty, wellness, and self-care. This conversation explores the contrast between two demanding worlds — law enforcement and entrepreneurship — and how Jamie learned to honor both without losing herself. She speaks candidly about navigating burnout, standing firm in her values, and choosing integrity over convenience, even when it came at a personal cost. At its core, this episode is about self-trust, discipline, and living in alignment. We dive into: ✨ Growing up in Brooklyn and the influence of family, sacrifice, and structure ✨ Lessons from law enforcement on empathy, humility, and non-judgment ✨ Transitioning from public service to entrepreneurship during COVID ✨ Building Beauty with Jay Lee from the ground up ✨ Leadership rooted in selflessness, honesty, and accountability ✨ Why discipline — not motivation — drives real transformation ✨ Creating safe, healing spaces where clients feel seen and heard ✨ The power of routine, patience, and small consistent habits ✨ Trusting intuition and walking by faith when logic says otherwise ✨ Purpose as living your truth and creating lasting impact Jamie also shares deeply personal insights on breaking generational patterns, developing self-awareness, and understanding how upbringing shapes mindset, discipline, and self-worth. Her work goes far beyond aesthetics — it's about helping people reconnect with themselves and rebuild confidence from the inside out. This is a raw, inspiring conversation for anyone navigating career transitions, burnout, leadership growth, or the courage it takes to choose alignment over approval.
