    Why You Want to Change But Stay Stuck: Conscious Desires vs Subconscious Programming with Anna Machkalov

    Holidays can trigger pressure, comparison, and the same patterns on repeat. In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Anna Machkalov to unpack why motivation is not enough when subconscious programming is running the show. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in habits, relationships, or self-sabotage loops, especially when a new year starts. You’ll learn how early-life wiring shapes “safe” choices, how shame keeps people trapped, and a practical first step to interrupt automatic behavior so real change becomes possible. About the Guest : Anna Machkalov is a certified hypnotherapist and former cosmetic medicine professional with 23+ years of experience. Trained at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, she focuses on subconscious healing for anxiety, confidence, relationships, and lasting self-directed change. Key Takeaways: Your brain prioritizes safety and familiarity, not happiness, so change can feel threatening Early childhood (0–8) shapes subconscious patterns before logic and reasoning fully develop Shame and guilt often keep people stuck more than the habit itself Use a “pause button” moment to catch subconscious behavior before it runs automatically Replace behaviors with new cues and options, since the brain does not respond well to “don’t” Neuroplasticity makes change possible at any age with consistent retraining How to Connect With the Guest: Instagram: annamachkalov.hypnosis Website: https://annamachypnosis.com/  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/ The Mindful Living Podcast?

    Mindfulness as a Leadership Skill: Build Culture, Clarity, and Psychological Safety with Dalida Turkovic

    Mindfulness is powerful, so why do mindful leaders still burn out, and why do workplaces treat it like a band-aid instead of fixing what’s broken? In this episode of The Mindful Living podcast, Sana speaks with Dalida Turkovic about practical mindfulness for leadership: self-awareness, better decisions under pressure, and creating psychological safety. This is for leaders, managers, and solo founders who want sustainable performance without running on stress, criticism, or autopilot habits. About the Guest: Dalida Turkovic is a leadership coach with 30+ years of experience across Asia. She founded the Beijing Mindfulness Center and BMC Academy, and trains leaders, educators, and coaches through ICF-accredited programs. Key Takeaways: Treat mindfulness as a daily practice, not a 6–8 week program to “complete.” Build psychological safety by improving how mistakes are handled (reduce blame, support learning). Use mindfulness to spot “shadow” drivers like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and fear before they run decisions. Shift motivation from inner critic to compassionate self to prevent burnout. Practice “fierce compassion” by pairing care with boundaries and clear action. Start within: leaders create culture by how they show up, listen, and model pausing under pressure.

    Navigate Awareness With Orbits of Consciousness with Richard Smith

    In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Richard Smith to unpack what “navigating awareness” actually looks like in real life. They break down Richard’s Orbits of Consciousness framework. A practical map for how we move through fear, judgment, survival mode, compassion, connection, and those rare moments of awe. If you feel like your growth is messy, non-linear, and full of repeat patterns. This conversation puts language to it without turning it into a “fix yourself” checklist. About the Guest: Richard Smith is a coach and author who developed the Orbits of Consciousness framework through lived experience and years of observing how people shift emotionally and mentally without “going anywhere” physically. He’s the author of A Phenomenal Life: Ignite Your Clarity, Connection, and Awe. Key Takeaways: Awareness is like a horizon. It can shrink in grief, fear, shame, or depression, and expand when you feel spacious and present. Your “orbit” changes how the world feels. Same life, different lens. Like tinted glasses. The lowest orbit is the “dark places”. Heavy ego attachment and emotional density can make movement hard. Sometimes professional support is needed. The “oppressed” orbit holds more hope than the darkest states, but still feels like the world is against you. The “sustaining” orbit is where many people live. Functioning, coping, but still emotionally reactive. Judgment acts like a ceiling. It keeps you stuck by creating separation from yourself and others. Wholesome existence shows up in flow states. Nature, music, hobbies, sunsets, moments of calm presence. The spiritual orbit is brief but real. Deep connection, low ego, feeling part of everything. A simple orbit-check is noticing how connected you feel. To yourself, to others, and to life around you. You can be aware and imperfect at the same time. Repeating a pattern does not mean failure. It means you are still moving.

    Evolving Human Consciousness With Source Cards with Alexander and Viki

    In this The Mindful Living Podcast episode, host Charu breaks down “evolving human consciousness” into real life signals. More synchronicity, better alignment, fewer reactive choices. Guests Alexander and Viki share how they use the Deck of 52 and Source Cards as a mindfulness framework for high achievers who look successful on paper but still feel something missing. You’ll hear why they push back on fortune-telling, how “the future” can become a distraction from the only place action happens. Right now. They also cover why frameworks can either empower you or become an identity crutch. The outcome is simple. Use tools to increase self-awareness and personal responsibility, not to outsource your power. About the Guest: Alexander and Viki are Sacred Strategy Guides and creators of The Source Cards approach. They teach a mindfulness-forward way to use the standard deck of playing cards as a self-awareness system, supporting CEOs, entrepreneurs, artists, and athletes to play life with more clarity and intention. Key Takeaways Evolving consciousness shows up as alignment. More synchronicity, better timing, smoother outcomes. Mindfulness is basically a “quiet software update”. It’s not dramatic, it’s consistent. The Source Cards system maps patterns using your birth date. It’s positioned as self-knowledge, not prediction. Future-fixation disempowers you because it pulls you out of the present moment. A “bad year card” can trigger fear. Reframe it into a present-moment choice and it becomes useful. You are not your cards. You are playing your cards. That shift prevents identity excuses. High achievers often follow someone else’s success script. Misalignment creates the “soul itch”. The four suits are framed as life domains. Emotions, mind, consciousness, and values/physical reality. Avoid spiritual bypassing. Candles and journals are fine, but responsibility is the actual lever. A proactive breakthrough beats a forced breakdown. Growth hurts less when you choose it on purpose. Micro-experiment for the week. Interrupt autopilot once a day, pause, breathe, ask what aligned action looks like now.

    Social Growth Without Doomscrolling on Qu with David Coupland

    In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with David Coupland, the creator of Qu and the Qu Anytime app, to unpack a real problem in modern life. We are hyper-connected, yet emotionally underfed. David shares how he walked away from a successful film and TV career when “success” started feeling like self-betrayal, then rebuilt his life around mindful connection, communication, and curiosity. They break down what “social growth” actually means, how Qu Anytime matches you into live video conversations with strangers around topics like mindfulness, AI, and philosophy, and why practicing real communication is a life skill, not a vibe. Sana also presses into the tough stuff. Monetization, privacy, trust, and safety for users. This is a grounded conversation for anyone craving healthier social media habits, deeper community, and more intentional digital wellbeing. About the Guest: David Coupland is a creator and builder focused on human connection and personal growth. After years working in film and TV and later at HBO Studios in Los Angeles, he pivoted into building Qu, an ecosystem of real-life experiences, online conversations, and human-first content designed to reduce loneliness and improve communication skills. Key Takeaways: Social media often creates surface connection that looks busy but feels lonely in real life and that is the core problem Qu tries to solve. David’s career pivot was not one dramatic moment, it was a stack of small “this isn’t me” moments that finally hit a breaking point. “Social growth” means using daily life as practice, learning through reflection, conversations, and new perspectives instead of passive scrolling. Qu Anytime is built around live video calls where you choose a topic, group size, and time, then meet people you have never met. Communication is a skill, not a personality trait. If you only talk to the same circle your ability to connect stays capped. Qu is designed around three pillars. Real-life experiences, online experiences, and content that reinforces a human-first culture. Trust is earned over time. David’s stated intention is to avoid selling user data and use insights only to support the mission. Safety features include leaving instantly, group voting to remove disruptive users, reporting and blocking, plus limited identity visibility. Psychological safety matters because safety unlocks curiosity, and curiosity is the engine of growth and meaningful connection. The “loneliness epidemic” is framed as urgent, and the product goal is practical. Give people a way to talk when they need it.

    Nervous System Reset After Trauma with Aaron Gambel

    On the Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with nervous system coach and speaker Aaron Gambel to get real about men’s mental health, childhood trauma, and what it actually takes to rebuild your life after hitting a breaking point. This episode unpacks nervous system regulation in plain language. Fight or flight, emotional shutdown, and why “just push through” is a failing strategy for modern relationships and careers. Aaron shares the mindset shift that helped him choose recovery, plus practical tools like breathwork, journaling, movement, and rapid calming techniques you can use in a busy life. If you want trauma informed healing, mindfulness that is not performative, and grounded mental health tools for men and families, this one delivers. About the Guest: Aaron Gambel is a speaker and coach who helps people, especially men, rewrite old survival stories and regulate their nervous systems so they stop reliving the past on repeat. His work focuses on emotional awareness, practical regulation tools, and building healthier relationships through honest conversations. Key Takeaways : Nervous system regulation is not a vibe. It is a skill that changes how you parent, partner, and lead under pressure. Many men are conditioned to bury emotions and overperform. That creates chronic fight or flight and long term burnout. Healing often starts when you slow down and notice what is happening in your body. Tight chest, pit in stomach, shallow breathing. Data matters. Breathwork is a high ROI tool for self regulation because it directly shifts your physiology in minutes. Journaling works because it offloads emotional weight. You stop carrying it in your body and start processing it on the page. Movement is regulation. Walking, running, or anything that raises your heart rate helps rebalance stress chemistry and mood. In highly activated moments, cold exposure can interrupt emotional spirals and help you regain control fast. Most men have friends but not safe emotional friendships. Build a “council of peers” you can talk to for real. You are not your past. Recovery is possible when you stop suffering in silence and choose support.

    Surviving Plane Crash, Cancer, Heart Surgery with Donna Hartley

    On The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Donna Hartley, a plane crash survivor who rebuilt her life through grit, mindset, and spiritual practice. Donna shares what it felt like to survive a DC-10 crash and how that near-death moment reshaped her identity, her relationships, and her purpose. She also opens up about navigating stage 3 melanoma as a single mom, plus multiple heart surgeries, and the real, unfiltered reality of fear, panic, and rebuilding stability one choice at a time. This episode is about trauma recovery, nervous system resilience, and becoming solution-driven without pretending life is easy. About the Guest: Donna Hartley is a global speaker and past-life reader who works with the Akashic Records. She’s a survivor of a DC-10 plane crash, stage 3 melanoma, and major heart procedures, including valve replacement surgery. Donna teaches inner leadership, mindset, and practical ways to move through massive life disruption using both traditional and holistic tools. Key Takeaways: Survival is not a personality trait. It’s a series of micro-decisions made under pressure. Fear is normal. Donna describes panic, sleeplessness, and emotional spirals. Then choosing a plan anyway. Purpose can reduce trauma symptoms. For Donna, clarity about service helped reduce nightmares and intrusive memories. “If not you, then who?” can be a leadership trigger when life demands action. Advocate for change. Donna testified to improve aviation safety systems after the crash. Mindfulness is not aesthetic. It’s regulating your nervous system through repetition, routine, and reframing. Healing requires ownership. Less blame, more solution orientation. Support systems matter. Donna asked her community to focus on recovery intentions instead of pity. Gratitude is a discipline. Start with small truths, not forced positivity. Donna’s four self-check questions. Self-love, love in action, living your goals, and leaving a positive impact.

    Death of a Vision - Navigating Transitions Mindfully with Caleb Matthews

    In this The Mindful Living Podcast episode, host Sana sits down with Caleb Matthews to talk about what happens when a long-held dream ends, a chapter closes, or your “calling” suddenly feels like it is slipping away. They unpack the real-life psychology and spirituality of transition, from layoffs and identity loss to the slow grind of corporate seasons that feel like a detour. Caleb breaks down why “closed doors” can be redirection not punishment, how surrender reduces emotional load, and why intuition is not a soft concept but a practical tool for decision-making. If you are navigating career change, burnout, grief, uncertainty, faith questions, or a messy in-between season, this conversation is built to help you reset your mindset and take the next aligned step. About the Guest: Caleb Matthews is a speaker and guide who has spent over 20 years helping people discover their “design” and walk it out with clarity. His work blends spiritual principles, cultural and historical insight, and practical guidance around dreams, purpose, and personal transitions. Key Takeaways: A “death of a vision” can be a season, not your identity. The container may change while the calling stays intact. Detours like corporate life can build skills, depth, and credibility for your next chapter, even when it feels like delay. The seed principle matters. Growth often follows surrender, release, and an uncomfortable reset. Closed doors are not punishment. They can be an invitation to refine your focus and accelerate alignment. Fighting to force doors open or shut drains energy. Acceptance helps you find steadiness inside the desert season. Surrender is not weakness. It is leadership over your nervous system and expectations. You do not have to carry everything. The “save everyone” mindset creates burnout and emotional collapse. Intuition is actionable. It helps you read obstacles, make decisions, and course-correct in uncertainty. A multiple-perspective mindset helps you interpret hard seasons with more clarity and less panic. Your next move is small and aligned. Stay honest, stay connected, take the next step.
