    Saagar Modi on Psychosis, Healing & Spiritual Awakening

    Send us Fan Mail On this powerful episode of Trauma Behind the Glamor, Rah sits down with Saagar Modi, founder of Conscious Talent Management — a man whose journey through mental illness, identity, and spiritual rebirth is as raw as it is inspiring. At just 18 years old, Saagar experienced a severe psychosis episode that shattered his sense of reality. He faced terrifying intrusive thoughts, including the fear of harming the very people he loved most. Instead of hiding this chapter, he chooses to speak openly about it — not for shock value, but to break stigma and help others understand what psychosis truly feels like from the inside. Saagar walks us through the emotional chaos of losing control of his mind, the shame and fear that followed, and the long road of therapy, treatment, and rebuilding trust in himself. He explains the difference between intrusive thoughts and intention, and how learning that distinction saved his life. Today, Saagar is a mental health advocate, a spiritual seeker, and the founder of Conscious Talent Management, where he connects models, actors, creators, and artists with opportunities rooted in integrity and compassion. His story is a reminder that healing is not linear — it’s a rebirth, a reconstruction, and a reclaiming of identity. This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and deeply human. It’s about the mind, the soul, and the courage it takes to come back from the darkest places. This is Saagar’s truth — unfiltered, brave, and transformative.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Sandra brings a powerful message of healing, imagination, and personal transformation.

She is a Restorative Justice Circle Keeper, Certified Reiki Practitioner, Ceremonial Facilitator, and recently completed certification in Lymphatic Iridology, deepening her understanding of the body’s innate wisdom and ability to restore balance.

In this episode, Sandra shares her journey of healing, self‑discovery, and empowerment. She explores how imagination can become a tool for transformation, how restorative practices create safe spaces for growth, and how reconnecting with our inner wisdom can change the way we move through trauma, grief, and life’s challenges.

    Acceptance: Get Over It & Get Into Your Life

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Jennifer Paweleck‑Bellingrodt — known to thousands as “Dr. Jen” — brings two decades of clinical experience, military discipline, and no‑nonsense truth to the conversation on acceptance. A former Army psychologist turned private‑practice powerhouse, Dr. Jen has spent over 20 years helping people confront the stories, excuses, and self‑limiting beliefs that keep them stuck. She breaks down why mindset and attitude are the foundation for everything in life, and why acceptance isn’t passive — it’s a decision. A choice. A turning point. Drawing from her work in therapy, consultation, lecturing, coaching, and her own lived experience, she explains how people can stop repeating the same painful patterns and finally “get over themselves” enough to move forward. Dr. Jen also shares insights from her bestselling books — Fix Your Freaking Marriage, You’re Not Crazy: The Perimenopause Survival Guide, and Get Over It — and gives a preview of her upcoming work on indecision and the seven self‑limiting beliefs that block success. This talk is bold, direct, and transformational — exactly what you expect from Dr. Jen. Acceptance isn’t about giving up. It’s about getting real… so you can finally get free. #DrJen #MindsetMatters #Acceptance #GetOverIt #MentalHealthPodcast #TraumaHealing #SelfLimitingBeliefs #YouAreNotAlone #MrTraumaTalks #RahSpeaks #EmotionalResilience #HealingJourney #ArmyPsychologist #WomenInMentalHealth #MotivationDaily #InnerStrength Support the show
