    EP080 | Healing Through Simplicity: How Naila Broke the Cycle of Chronic Illness and Reclaimed Her Life

    Send us a text Most women living with chronic illness are doing everything “right” — the diets, the supplements, the tests and still don’t feel better.  Naila was one of them. In this powerful conversation, Naila Mahmood shares her deeply personal journey through breast cancer (twice), autoimmunity, years of steroid medication, flare-ups, exhaustion, and the emotional toll of living in a body that feels unpredictable. She had tried it all, Functional Medicine, naturopaths across continents, strict diets, endless supplements.  But nothing truly shifted until she found a simpler way to heal. Through our work together, Naila discovered something many women overlook: Healing isn’t about doing more.  It’s about listening more. In this episode, she opens up about: • Why strict protocols didn’t work — and what finally did  • The mindset shift that helped her stop fighting her body  • How she reduced medication and minimized flare-ups  • Healing within real-life constraints: culture, food availability, energy levels  • Why awareness—not perfection—is the true turning point  • The emotional journey of rebuilding trust with her body  • How community and connection sped up her healing Naila's story is a testament to what becomes possible when women stop chasing protocols and begin reconnecting with their own wisdom. This is healing without the hustle.  This is Effortless Healing™ in practice.  A reminder that even after decades of illness, your body is not your enemy and it has not given up on you. Whether you’re navigating your own autoimmune journey or supporting a loved one, this conversation will bring you hope, grounding, and a new way to see what’s possible. Listen in and remember: healing doesn’t require perfection — just presence.

    EP079 | From Burnout to Body Wisdom: Sonali’s Autoimmune Healing Breakthrough

    Send us a text In today’s deeply moving conversation, I’m joined by Sonali Patranabish, a former client whose journey captures the heart of what Effortless Healing™ truly means. If you’ve ever felt burnt out, overwhelmed, or stuck in a loop of symptoms that don’t make sense… this episode is going to speak directly to you. Sonali opens up about the years she spent feeling broken and burnt out, living on “fumes,” losing joy, losing herself, and trying so hard to keep life together while her body was shutting down.  Her story is one of courage, self-awareness, and the quiet rebuilding that happens when a woman finally listens to her body’s wisdom. Together, we explore: • What life looked like at her lowest point  • Why the pain of staying the same pushed her to choose healing  • How emotional weight and guilt were fuelling physical symptoms  • The surprising role of joy, rest, and slowing down  • How she learned to decode her body’s signals instead of fearing them  • The inner shift that made motherhood, resilience, and vitality possible again  • What it means to simplify wellness—and reclaim your life Sonali’s honesty is powerful, and her transformation is a reminder that healing doesn’t begin with doing more.  It begins with coming home to yourself. If you’ve been craving hope, clarity, or a reminder that your body hasn’t given up on you—this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn • How chronic burnout shows up emotionally and physically  • Why traditional wellness often overcomplicates healing  • The power of embodiment over protocols  • How small, simple shifts create big emotional and physical relief  • What self-compassion looks like in real life (not theory)  • How to rebuild trust with your body—even after years of symptoms Links Mentioned Download the Body’s Whisper Starter Kit (Free) 👉 https://aninditarungta.myflodesk.com/bodyswhisper If Sonali’s story made you realise it’s time to understand your own symptoms more clearly, you can book a free 20-minute Clarity Call with me.  This isn’t a coaching session — it’s a gentle space to explore what’s going on, what your body is trying to tell you, and whether personalised support is the right next step. 👉 Book your Clarity Call https://aninditarungta.com/claritycall Support the show Start Listening to Your Body — Free 7-Day Starter Kit If you’ve been trying to “fix” your symptoms with more diets, more supplements, or more willpower… pause.

    E078 | The Future of Wellness Is Quiet (Part 3)

    Send us a text Have you been doing “everything right” and still feeling stuck in your healing? If so, you’re not alone and this final part of the series will show you why. Over the past two episodes, we explored why healing feels so hard in today’s artificial, fast-paced world — and what happens when technology starts speaking louder than your body.  If you missed those earlier episodes, listen here:  • Episode 75 — How to Heal Naturally in an Artificial World: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286842/episodes/18001624 • Episode 76 — Teaching AI to Listen Like a Healer: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286842/episodes/18123600 Today, we close the loop. Because if you’re still trying new protocols, tweaking your diet, tracking every metric, or pushing through exhaustion… you’re treating the symptoms but not the real problem:  The noise around you has become louder than your body’s wisdom. This episode reveals why quiet — not willpower, not more effort, not more discipline — is the most powerful healing tool you have… and how reconnecting with your body can change everything. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:• Why your symptoms aren’t failures — they’re signals your body has been trying to send you.  • How modern wellness overload keeps your nervous system in survival mode.  • Why quiet reconnects you with your inner cues and helps your body feel safe enough to heal. BY THE END OF THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL ALSO REALISE:Healing doesn’t ask you to work harder — it asks you to listen better. And you don’t have to figure this out alone.
