    Muqaddisa Mehreen Talks UNICEF, Mental Health, and Traveling the World | Lived Words Ep. 10

    Muqaddisa Mehreen has spent her life understanding environments: the worlds we grow up in, the places that shape us before we understand what we’re feeling, and the systems that influence our perceptions of support and collaboration. She has worked across countries, cultures, and complex humanitarian settings, and found joy and purpose in listening to people whose stories are overlooked. More than that, she is someone who sees people. She listens closely, holds space, and brings care into conversations that are not always easy to have. More than most, she understands how the world around us shapes the ways we feel and grow. In this conversation, Dr. Mehreen details the ways in which her work in gender rights and child protection has taken her into environments where mental health is closely tied to safety, opportunity, and everyday lived experience. What does happiness really mean, when every moment is defined by survival? Follow us on Instagram: @livedwordspodcast Follow us on Facebook: @livedwordspodcast Follow us on TikTok: @lived.words.pod

    Swayam Bagaria Talks Religion, Belief, and Modern Spirituality | Lived Words Ep. 9

    Swayam Bagaria is a thinker. An anthropologist by education and professor of religion by trade, he is a deep thinker and someone who approaches every aspect of the world with his trademark curiosity and openness to complex thought. Dr. Bagaria's work, on the other hand, delves deep into the mental health space and bridges concepts of spirituality, belief, religion, and culture. Dr. Bagaria also explores culture and identity within himself. A deeply reflective person, Dr. Bagaria's focus on contemporary belief networks in India stems from his own heritage and background. Furthermore, he embraces a definition of spirituality that is personal and, in many ways, original; crafted by years of experience, research, and education. Today, Dr. Bagaria shares his perspective on modern spirituality, the importance of belief to the development of today's generation (as well as society as a whole), and the answer to whether or not he even considers himself to be religious at all.

    Alicia Mckoy Talks Stress, Self-Care, and the Impact of Our Environment | Lived Words Ep. 8

    Alicia Mckoy is a social scientist, an author, a speaker and an entrepreneur. More than that, she is someone who fully believes in the importance of self-care when facing chronic stress. But when searching for a path to her own self-care, she realized something crucial: few things influence our mental state as much as our environment. Whether it's a classroom, workplace, or home, our environments shape the way we think, feel, and live. Building Peak Mind became her solution. Essentially a set of tools designed for the chronically stressed, Ms. Mckoy leads Peak Mind to educate individuals on rewiring their response to stress, finding balance, and thriving in both life and work. Her goal is to Empower Employees to Thrive, giving everyone from firefighters to doctors to teachers and students the knowledge and understanding they need to become better, happier people. In today's conversation, Ms. Mckoy dives into the hidden impact of stress on young people, the habits and mindsets that can help ground you when life feels overwhelming, and how we can build better environments in our communities that support mental health and wellbeing, not just bare-minimum survival.

    Juliet Sarmiento Talks Neurodiversity, ADHD, and Living with Trauma | Lived Words Ep. 7

    Dr. Juliet Sarmiento has spent her entire life learning how to listen. From growing up in Mexico City, where the topic of mental health was shunned, to educating those around her about neurodiversity at Harvard University, her story spans the globe. But this journey is also one of survival, of learning to live with the day-to-day reality of mental health conditions such as PTSD and ADHD. Her understanding is shaped not only by research, but by true lived experience and trauma-induced growth. In today's conversation, Dr. Sarmiento recounts how she went from a PhD in animal communication to building her own company, NeuroDive AI, and dedicating her work to teaching effective communication and building neurodivergent-inclusive environments.
