The Mindful Living

In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Jessica Di Re, a real estate broker and entrepreneur, as she opens up about navigating personal upheaval — a breakup, surgery, and life changes — all at once. Jessica shares how being forced into stillness after breaking her kneecap became an unexpected turning point, allowing her to reflect, rediscover her values, and rebuild both personally and professionally. From survival mode to mindful healing, she reveals how she’s redefining success, embracing tiny steps toward growth, and learning to fill her own cup first. This candid conversation is a reminder that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come during life’s pauses. ABOUT THE GUEST: Jessica Di Re is a Montreal-based real estate broker who has built a thriving business while navigating personal transformation. Her journey speaks to anyone who’s faced sudden life shifts, helping them see the value in surrender, patience, and self-love. Jessica is passionate about mental health, personal growth, and learning how to rebuild from the inside out. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Stillness can become a powerful space for clarity and self-reflection. True healing often requires releasing old patterns that no longer serve. Bouncing back is not about speed but about consistent, mindful progress. Self-love and emotional truth are essential before extending energy to others. Every setback can hold a lesson if we are open to receiving it.

In this deeply moving episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Dr. Gregg Korbon, a physician and author of Beyond Reason, to explore the profound journey of grief after the loss of his gifted 9-year-old son, Brian. Gregg shares his son’s extraordinary foresight of his own passing, the mystical and paranormal experiences that unfolded before and after his death, and how these events challenged conventional medical understanding. From profound dreams to spiritual encounters, Dr. Korbon provides a raw and unfiltered account of navigating unimaginable loss while discovering healing, love, and a new perception of reality. About the Guest: Dr. Gregg Korbon is a physician who was unexpectedly drawn into the world of spirituality and the paranormal following the untimely death of his son. His book, Beyond Reason: Lessons from the Loss of a Gifted Child, documents this powerful journey blending grief, mystical experiences, and healing. Key Takeaways: Grief opens unexpected doors to spiritual understanding. The three stages of grief dreams: pain, reassurance, and letting go. Paranormal encounters aren’t rare but often unspoken. Healing isn’t about forgetting but integrating love into a new life narrative. Skepticism often stems from limited awareness and fear of the unknown.

In this deeply personal episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana speaks with suicide attempt survivors Deborah Charman and Brian Wardale. Deborah shares her lifelong battle with hopelessness starting from the age of 10, and how EMDR therapy became a game-changer in her healing. Brian opens up about his more recent suicide attempt, driven by grief and overwhelming loss after being his mother's caregiver. Together, they discuss the weight of hopelessness, early warning signs, and the critical difference between prevention and intervention. Their organization, Survivors of Hopelessness, focuses on early education and mental health support for youth. This raw conversation sheds light on how candid discussions can literally save lives. About the Guests: Deborah Charman and Brian Wardale are the founders of Survivors of Hopelessness. Deborah’s journey spans over 50 years, and Brian brings a powerful male perspective as a recent survivor. Together, they advocate for prevention-based mental health education, early intervention, and peer-led conversations that break stigma and offer real tools for healing. Key Takeaways: Hopelessness can overpower the survival instinct and push individuals to the edge. Suicide is often not a desire to die, but a desperate attempt to escape pain. Early education (pre-puberty) is essential for prevention, before suicide ever becomes an option. EMDR therapy can dismantle deep-seated emotional patterns and trauma. The importance of "Wait One More Day"—delaying action can give space for feelings to shift and support to arrive. Reaching out, whether you're the one struggling or the concerned friend, can make a life-saving difference.

Sharon opens up about the pivotal moments that led her to follow her passion, how mindful practices like yoga, meditation, and nature immersion supported her through personal and professional transitions, and why small, consistent habits make the biggest impact on well-being. This conversation is a practical guide for anyone standing at a personal or career crossroads. About the Guest: Sharon Vendle is the founder of Serenity SF, a San Francisco-based wellness center that blends massage therapy, aesthetics, and mindful living practices.

Mindful practices like yoga and breathwork played a critical role in managing stress and healing physical health challenges. Sustainable habits start with as little as 15 minutes of daily meditation.

In this compelling episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana is joined by Sara Nativi—former professional ballet dancer turned clinical hypnotherapist and RTT practitioner—to explore the hidden cost of perfectionism and the anxiety loops it creates. Sara shares how her pursuit of flawlessness on stage masked deep self-doubt and burnout, and how her healing journey led her to help high achievers reconnect with authentic confidence. Together, they discuss subconscious roots of anxiety, the myth of instant transformation, and why perfectionism is often a trauma response disguised as strength. About the Guest: Sara Nativi is a clinical hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner based in Brussels. Once a high-performing ballet dancer, Sara now helps high achievers, creatives, and professionals unravel the deep-seated patterns of anxiety, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. Her unique approach blends neuroscience, subconscious work, and deep emotional insight to help clients reclaim their inner worth and shift from survival to true self-acceptance. Key Takeaways: Perfectionism is often a mask for unresolved pain and low self-worth. High achievement doesn't equal high self-esteem—many successful people are stuck in invisible anxiety loops. Healing is not linear or performance-driven; it requires surrender, presence, and emotional safety. Tools like mirror work and conscious self-talk help rebuild somatic self-esteem. True transformation comes when we stop "perfecting" healing and start allowing it.

Summary: In this powerful episode of The Mindful Living, Dr. Theodore A. Henderson—a pioneering physician and neuroscientist—joins host Sana to unveil how infrared light therapy is redefining the science of healing. From treating chronic PTSD in veterans to addressing long COVID, depression, and even early dementia, his groundbreaking therapy "LUMIT" uses multi-watt infrared light to activate neuroplasticity and detoxify the brain. He also challenges conventional psychiatry by highlighting the overlooked role of latent viral infections like Epstein-Barr in triggering mental health conditions. This is not just about healing symptoms—it's about unlocking the brain’s true capacity for repair and resilience. About the Guest: Dr. Theodore A. Henderson is a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author of Brighter Days Ahead. He is the co-developer of LUMIT (Laser Unattenuated Multiwatt Infrared Treatment), which helps unlock neuroplasticity and healing in patients with traumatic brain injury, PTSD, depression, and cognitive decline. His work also brings to light the neurological impact of hidden viral infections. Key Takeaways: LUMIT vs. Traditional Light Therapy: Most devices lack the strength to penetrate the skull. LUMIT uses multi-watt infrared light to reach deep into brain tissue, activating true neuroregeneration. Healing PTSD in Veterans: A single patient experienced life-altering results in just 6 sessions—ending 50 years of trauma. Infrared & Brain Detox: LUMIT activates the brain’s glymphatic system, clearing toxins—especially helpful for long COVID and early-stage dementia. Viruses & Mental Health: Dormant herpes viruses like Epstein-Barr may be silent triggers behind fatigue, anxiety, and even Alzheimer’s. Medication-Free Depression Relief: LUMIT offers lasting improvements by biologically repairing the brain, not just masking symptoms.

In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana dives deep with Jayne Gottlieb—founder of Aspen Shakti and creator of the Alive Culture app—into what it really means to be fully alive. Jayne unpacks why aliveness isn’t a wellness trend—it’s a daily necessity. From integrating breath and movement to embracing shadow work and sensual energy, this conversation challenges the myth that vitality is a luxury. Instead, it’s an invitation to live fully embodied, unapologetically present, and in harmony with our inner truth. About the Guest: Jayne Gottlieb is a holistic vitality coach, movement alchemist, and founder of Aspen Shakti. With two decades of experience guiding people into embodied transformation, Jayne is reshaping how we view energy, healing, and presence. Her Alive Culture app fosters a community committed to conscious living—where aliveness is a vital, daily commitment, not a fleeting vibe. Key Takeaways: Being “alive” is a daily practice, not a fixed destination. Embodiment accelerates healing beyond intellectual understanding. Shadow, sexuality, and soul are essential parts of vitality—not distractions from it. Productivity rooted in coherence creates more ease and flow than burnout ever could. Aliveness is a planetary responsibility—we raise the collective vibration by honoring our own.

In this deeply moving episode, Bob Furniss—author, speaker, and founder of the Keesha Warrior Princess Foundation—joins Sana to share the story behind his memoir On to Blue. Through the lens of his daughter Keesha’s Stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis and her neurodivergent brilliance, Bob reflects on love, grief, early detection, and the lessons his daughter taught him about life, purpose, and resilience. Listeners will walk away with a raw and honest reminder: grief doesn’t fade—it transforms. This conversation is a powerful call to action, especially for families, fathers, and anyone supporting someone through illness. About the Guest: Bob Furniss is a renowned leader in the customer service industry with a legacy of over four decades. But it was his role as a father that transformed his life. After losing his daughter Keesha to breast cancer at 30, Bob channeled his grief into advocacy. His nonprofit, Keesha Warrior Princess, focuses on early detection for women under 45—a group often overlooked in standard screenings. His memoir On to Blue is a heartfelt tribute to his daughter’s strength, humor, and resilience. Key Takeaways: Early detection of breast cancer in women under 45 is critical, yet under-discussed. Neurodivergence, once seen as a limitation, became Keesha’s superpower during her treatment. Grief doesn’t “get better”—it evolves. It’s okay to live with it and speak about it honestly. Conversations around health, grief, and advocacy can create life-saving awareness.

In this powerful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Dr. Brittney Hobbs—a somatic soul guide and wellness consultant—to explore how chronic pain, fatigue, and disconnection are not just physical symptoms, but messages from the body shaped over lifetimes and generations. Together, they uncover why slowing down is the first step to true healing, how nervous system regulation impacts fatigue and burnout, and why presence—not performance—is the most radical wellness tool. Dr. Brittney offers a grounded, science-backed lens into somatic healing, offering listeners simple, transformative practices they can begin today. About the Guest: Dr. Brittney Hobbs is a former pharmacist turned somatic soul guide and wellness consultant. With nearly 15 years of experience, she helps high-achieving women decode pain and tension using body-based practices rooted in science and ancestral wisdom. Her work focuses on nervous system regulation, embodied healing, and reclaiming agency over one’s wellness journey—offering an alternative to symptom-chasing and quick fixes. Key Takeaways: Chronic pain often carries generational trauma and unprocessed emotional memory. Our bodies are “living libraries” of personal and ancestral experience. Nervous system dysregulation—even in high-functioning individuals—can drive fatigue and burnout. Presence is the path to healing. Start small with daily 30-second check-ins. Outsourcing healing to external experts is limited—true transformation begins within.

What happens when being “nice” becomes a survival strategy that slowly erodes your sense of self? In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana is joined by CBT therapist and confidence coach Ludovica Colella to unpack the truth behind chronic niceness, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. They explore how women are socialized to prioritize approval over authenticity—and what it takes to break free. From emotional burnout to assertive communication, Ludovica shares real-world strategies to reclaim your energy, speak your truth, and stop over-functioning. This isn’t about being rude—it’s about being real. About the Guest: Ludovica Colella is a CBT therapist and confidence coach with over a decade of experience helping millennial women heal from anxiety, low self-esteem, and people-pleasing patterns. Her signature program, The Confident Communication Lab, empowers clients to set boundaries with clarity and compassion. She combines clinical psychology with coaching tools to guide women from self-abandonment to self-alignment. Key Takeaways: People-pleasing is not kindness—it’s often self-abandonment rooted in fear of rejection. Burnout is a signal, not a weakness. Chronic “yes” habits often hide deeper beliefs of unworthiness. Assertive communication isn’t aggression—it’s honesty without apology. Saying no, setting limits, and honoring your needs can actually strengthen relationships. To truly lead or love, you have to stop managing others' emotions and start expressing your own.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Mindful Living, we sit down with certified hypnotherapist and holistic health coach Jessica Betancourt to explore the real reasons change feels so hard—and how we can reclaim our power through subconscious healing. Jessica shares her own story of daily wine habits, emotional burnout, and transformation, offering a raw look at how addictive patterns often mask deeper wounds.

What if chronic disease isn’t a lifelong sentence? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. David Bilstrom, a quadruple board-certified Functional Medicine Physician, shares how autoimmune conditions, gut issues, and chronic illness are not just manageable—but reversible. Host Sana and Dr. Bilstrom dig into the science of epigenetics, exposing how lifestyle, stress, and hidden infections turn “bad” genes on—and how we can flip them off to reclaim our health. From the role of gut bacteria to meditation’s genetic impact, this episode challenges what we think we know about aging, disease, and healing. Whether you’re navigating illness or want to future-proof your family’s health, this one’s worth your full attention. About the Guest: Dr. David Bilstrom is the Medical Director of the International Autoimmune Institute and a pioneer in using functional medicine to reverse chronic illness. With 30+ years of experience, he focuses on root-cause healing, gut health, and generational epigenetic shifts to change the future of healthcare. Key Takeaways: Chronic illness isn’t just “bad luck”—it’s often triggered by reversible gene expression patterns. Gut infections, trauma, and vitamin deficiencies silently fuel autoimmune conditions. Healing isn’t about managing symptoms with pills but resetting your body’s innate intelligence. Meditation, butyrate, and lifestyle shifts have epigenetic power to influence 6–8 generations. You don’t need perfect routines—just consistent, informed action to unlock healing.

In this powerful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Jenny Evans, a performance coach and resilience expert, to unpack the surprising science behind cortisol—the stress hormone silently disrupting our energy, clarity, and careers. From understanding how cortisol hijacks our decision-making to practical micro-strategies for recovery, this conversation delivers evidence-backed tools for anyone feeling stuck in overdrive. Jenny shares how even small physical movements, consistent routines, and reframing purpose can create massive resilience. If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through life, this is your permission to pause, reset, and reclaim control. About the Guest: Jenny Evans is an award-winning speaker, performance coach, and author with 20+ years of experience helping Fortune 500 leaders, creatives, and high achievers thrive in high-stress environments. Her work blends physiology, psychology, and real-life strategies to help individuals bounce back faster, lead more effectively, and avoid burnout. Jenny is known for making science simple, actionable, and even a bit fun. Key Takeaways: Cortisol is not the enemy, but chronic elevation leads to poor decisions, fatigue, and burnout. Microbursts of physical movement (30–60 seconds) help neutralize cortisol effectively. Poor sleep and erratic eating habits worsen cortisol levels—consistency matters more than timing. Purpose-driven thinking can biologically shift the brain’s chemistry for clarity and resilience. Strength training isn’t just for aesthetics—it’s a biological necessity, especially for women over 40.

In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana engages in a grounded conversation with Vicki Noethling—an experienced corporate leader turned leadership mentor—on what it truly means to lead with purpose. Vicki draws from 40+ years in corporate America to challenge traditional notions of leadership rooted in control and command.

Key Takeaways: Leadership isn’t managing—it’s mentoring, empowering, and understanding. Emotional intelligence isn’t a liability; it builds trust and inspires action. “Leading with hands” means making leadership actionable through service. Generationally adaptive leadership is non-negotiable in today’s workplace. Real influence comes from authenticity, not authority.

Digestion starts with chewing; the more you chew, the better your gut and mental health. Shared meals improve microbiome diversity, emotional regulation, and family bonds. Even small rituals—like a moment of gratitude—can shift your eating experience. Fast lifestyles don't have to mean fast food. Intention can transform any meal.

In this critical episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with board-certified optometrist Dr. Roger Wu to address a growing yet often overlooked health crisis—digital eye strain and vision problems in children. From skyrocketing rates of myopia to early signs of macular degeneration in kids, Dr. Wu breaks down the science, the risks, and—most importantly—the practical steps parents can take. He also explores the cultural habits fueling this epidemic and how families can find balance between screen use and holistic well-being. This is a must-listen for parents navigating parenting in the digital age. About the Guest: Dr. Roger Wu is a board-certified optometrist with over 25 years of clinical experience. He is also the founder of The Eye Drink—the world’s first science-backed drink designed specifically for ocular health. Dr. Wu is known for combining science, preventative care, and technology in innovative ways to help people of all ages preserve their vision. Key Takeaways: Excessive screen use among children is leading to dry eyes, early myopia, and even macular degeneration. Blinking frequency decreases dramatically when using screens, contributing to vision issues. The 20-20-20 rule is helpful, but longer visual breaks and better screen ergonomics are even more effective. Outdoor time significantly supports healthy eye development—at least one hour daily is recommended. Mindful screen habits must start early and be modeled by parents. Dr. Wu's company offers The Eye Drink, a nutritional beverage designed to support eye health from within.

In this insightful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Bryan Hardy—a holistic nutritionist and wellness guide—to explore how our connection to nature directly impacts our mental and emotional health. Bryan opens up about his near-death medical experience, healing journey, and transformative time in the Peruvian Amazon. Together, they discuss the simplicity and power of grounding practices like gardening, cooking with whole foods, and listening to our bodies. This conversation reminds us that healing doesn’t come from quick fixes—it comes from realignment with what’s natural and sustainable. About the Guest: Bryan Hardy is a holistic nutritionist and integrative wellness coach passionate about helping people revitalize their bodies and minds through nature-based healing.

In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Deborah Moffat, author, speaker, and host of The Healing Version podcast, for an honest conversation about the role of self-forgiveness in trauma healing. From a childhood of instability to rebellious teenage years and eventual inner transformation, Deborah shares how journaling, therapy, and a mindset shift helped her break free from generational pain. The dialogue explores the difference between true forgiveness and excusing harm, the struggle to let go, and how healing ourselves can lead to healing relationships. For anyone stuck in shame or blame, this episode offers a grounded and raw take on reclaiming your path to peace. About the Guest: Deborah Moffat is a U.S.-based podcaster, author, and speaker focused on self-development and emotional recovery.

In this direct and insightful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller, board-certified sexologist and founder of MyLibidoDoc.com, to unpack the multifaceted causes of low libido in both men and women. From hormonal imbalances and pelvic floor health to psychological factors like body image and trauma, Dr. Diane breaks down the top five physical causes while also addressing the deeper personal and relational influences. The discussion emphasizes how sexual well-being ties directly to overall health, and how shame and stigma often keep people from seeking solutions. Whether you’re in a long-term relationship struggling with desire, or curious about optimal sexual health, this episode offers practical advice, myth-busting insights, and actionable steps to reclaim intimacy. About the Guest: Dr. Diane Mueller is a dual doctorate holder in Naturopathic and Oriental Medicine, a board-certified sexologist, and host of the Libido Lounge podcast. She specializes in uncovering the root causes of low libido and is the founder of MyLibidoDoc.com. Her mission is to bring shame-free, science-based solutions to sexual health and wellness. Key Takeaways: Low libido is rarely just about hormones—neurological, circulatory, and stress factors are equally critical. Women’s arousal takes longer due to biological and neurological differences; foreplay and mindfulness are essential. Relationship dynamics and body image heavily influence sexual desire—communication and novelty play key roles in revitalizing long-term intimacy. Optimal testosterone levels matter more than just being “within normal range.” Hygiene, pelvic floor health, and psychological conditioning from childhood all contribute to libido health.

In this soulful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana sits down with holistic interior designer Nan Krueger to explore the transformative power of our spaces. Nan shares her unique framework of The Four Levels of Holistic Interior Design—aesthetic, physical, energetic, and emotional—and explains how our homes can either nourish or drain us depending on how aligned they are with who we truly are. From color psychology to emotional attachments, minimalism to mindful arrangement, this conversation encourages listeners to stop decorating and start designing with intention. If you're seeking more than just a Pinterest-perfect room, this episode will inspire you to create a space that supports your body, mind, and spirit. About the Guest: Nan Krueger is the founder of Groovy Home, where she helps clients create soulful, functional living spaces. Her mission is to make design accessible, intuitive, and deeply personal. Nan recently launched three insightful quizzes—on your interior design archetype, your ideal designer match, and your color palette style—at mygroovyhome.com/quiz. Key Takeaways: Interior design goes beyond decor—it's about emotional alignment and energetic support. Aesthetic preferences are deeply personal and should reflect the emotions you want to evoke. Physical design must consider body comfort and spatial harmony, not just style. Energetic and emotional levels help shape how a space is used and how it makes you feel. Letting go of items that no longer serve you can make room for the future, without losing the essence of your story.

In this enlightening episode of The Mindful Living, we journey beyond conventional mindfulness practices into the heart of ancient wisdom with visionary world explorer and bestselling author, Marko Petrovic. Marko, the founder of the MARA Project, shares profound insights on how to reconnect with the soul's path by aligning the three brains—gut, heart, and mind. He redefines mindfulness, not as a mere mental exercise but as an embodied practice rooted in rituals, nature, and ancestral connection. Discover how tuning into the elements—earth, water, fire, and air—can cultivate deeper awareness, presence, and joy in daily life. About the Guest: Marko Petrovic is a two-time bestselling author (Soul Path, Embrace of the Elements), world explorer, and founder of the MARA Project, leading transformative retreats to sacred sites worldwide. His mission is to awaken the soul through ancient rituals, reconnecting modern individuals with timeless wisdom and deeper self-awareness.

Embracing elemental rituals (earth, water, fire, air) can ground and enrich mindfulness practices. Disconnection is an illusion—awareness of disconnection is itself a form of connection.

In this powerful episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana welcomes Nate Pope, a neurological occupational therapist and co-founder of NCX Brain Recovery. They explore the misunderstood world of post-concussion syndrome (PCS), shedding light on why symptoms like brain fog, headaches, and balance issues can persist long after a head injury. Nate explains the science behind PCS, why it often goes undiagnosed, and the cutting-edge therapies that can restore brain function. Whether you've experienced a concussion, know someone who has, or simply want to optimize your brain health, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips for long-lasting wellness. About Nate Pope: Nate Pope is a neurological occupational therapist with over two decades of experience in brain recovery. As co-founder of NCX Brain Recovery, he specializes in treating post-concussion syndrome through innovative, intensive therapy programs designed to reset the brain’s blood flow patterns and break harmful neurological habits. Nate's mission is to help people reclaim their quality of life after brain injuries. Key Takeaways: Post-concussion syndrome affects 20-30% of concussion cases, with lingering symptoms like headaches, brain fog, and anxiety. Standard MRIs often fail to detect PCS, but functional MRIs can reveal blood flow imbalances in the brain. Intensive, integrative therapy—engaging multiple brain systems simultaneously over many hours—can help rewire the brain and restore balance. Outdoor activities on uneven terrain, combined with social interaction, are excellent for ongoing brain health. NCX Brain Recovery offers free consultations to assess potential PCS and guide individuals toward recovery.

In this soul-stirring episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana dives deep into the power of self-talk and the transformative process of healing the mind-body connection. Our guest, Rose Leopold, an authenticity and intimacy coach, opens up about her journey from chronic illness and emotional despair to wholeness through holistic health practices. Rose unpacks how self-awareness, compassion, and somatic work like yoga and breathwork can rewire inner narratives and shift the nervous system for deeper emotional integration. We also explore creative tools like naming inner voices (hello, Judgmental Janet!) and using humor, boundaries, and lightness to respond rather than react. A must-listen for anyone navigating trauma, negative self-talk, or craving a more loving relationship with themselves. About the Guest: Rose Leopold is an authenticity and intimacy coach, speaker, writer, and somatic healing guide. With a background in psychology, meditation, and holistic health, Rose supports individuals in reconnecting with their emotional truth, transforming inner narratives, and accessing deeper self-compassion. Her journey from debilitating illness to thriving entrepreneur fuels her powerful, grounded approach to healing. Key Takeaways: Your thoughts are not who you are — you can observe, question, and reframe them. Slowing down and sitting with silence helps reveal your true inner dialogue. Naming your inner voices with humor (like “Judgmental Janet”) helps reduce shame and resistance. Somatic healing practices are essential to support mental reprogramming. Self-compassion and curiosity are the gateway to sustainable inner change.

In this soulful episode of The Mindful Living with Sana, we sit down with Trinn Hatch—co-creator of Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy—for a deeply transformative conversation on healing the mind, body, and spirit. Trinn shares his powerful journey from being a top security professional to surviving a devastating injury and overcoming PTSD, addiction, and disability. His path led him to Tibetan medicine and phytotherapy, where ancient wisdom and modern insight merged to form Jampa. Trinn unpacks the essence of Sowa Rigpa (the Tibetan system of medicine), the role of phytotherapy, terpenes, and vibrational medicine, and how these all contribute to truly personalized, compassionate healing. Whether you’re skeptical or curious, this episode is your gateway to alternative healing modalities that honor both the physical and emotional self. About the Guest: Trinn Hatch is the co-founder of Jampha Tibetan Pharmacy. After experiencing a debilitating physical injury and being dependent on 17 medications, he turned to plant medicine, energy healing, and the Tibetan system of Sowa Rigpa. Today, he helps others on their healing journeys using personalized phytotherapeutic protocols rooted in ancient Tibetan lineage and supported by vibrational medicine and terpenes. Key Takeaways: Tibetan medicine (Sowa Rigpa) views disease as disharmony, treating the mind, body, and spirit. Trinn’s healing journey began with desperation and evolved into a promise to serve others. Jampha formulations include terpenes, minerals, and vibrationally enhanced water to elevate efficacy.

What if food sovereignty, climate action, and community resilience could all begin in your backyard? In this episode of The Mindful Living with Sana, we’re joined by Greg Peterson, founder of UrbanFarm.org and host of The Urban Farm Podcast. Greg dives deep into why growing local food and saving seeds are radical acts of change in today’s disconnected food system. From turning a quarter-acre into a thriving old growth food forest to launching Seed Up In A Box, Greg’s mission is clear: empower every individual—no matter where they live—to grow their own food and reclaim their health, autonomy, and connection to nature. Whether you’re in a city apartment or a countryside home, this conversation will inspire you to plant that first basil pot and rediscover the power in your hands. About the Guest: Greg Peterson is a regenerative urban farming pioneer and seed sovereignty advocate. As founder of UrbanFarm.org, Greg educates people worldwide about permaculture, local food systems, and sustainable growing. He’s the creator of Seed Up In A Box—a grassroots initiative reviving local seed economies—and hosts the widely respected Urban Farm Podcast. Key Takeaways: The average food item travels 1,500+ miles—local food is fresher, more nutritious, and climate-friendly. Highly processed foods and chemical agriculture damage our health and ecosystems. A small herb garden on a windowsill can be your first step to food freedom. Open-pollinated seeds allow your garden to self-sustain year after year. Greg’s "Seed Up In A Box" program empowers communities to distribute and grow locally adapted seeds. Experiential learning—especially for kids—helps instill a lifelong respect for food and nature.

In this soulful episode of The Mindful Living with Sana, we dive deep into the transformative power of movement and storytelling with Ricardo Topete—founder of Rico Media Productions and host of Why We Move podcast. Once on track to become a physician, Ricardo pivoted from medicine to media, guided by his passion for dance and storytelling. Through his journey, he discovered how movement fosters mindfulness, connection, and emotional healing. Ricardo shares how dance can be meditative, how mindful filmmaking goes beyond visuals, and why movement is a powerful tool in the digital age to reconnect with ourselves and others. This conversation is a rhythm of inspiration, presence, and purpose. About the Guest: Ricardo Topete is a Philadelphia-based storyteller, visual creator, and host of the Why We Move podcast. A former medical student turned filmmaker, Ricardo now uses visual media and social dance to explore emotional, cultural, and spiritual connections. His work bridges mindfulness with movement, inspiring people to embrace storytelling as healing. Key Takeaways: Movement is more than physical—it's emotional, relational, and healing. Dance can be a form of meditation, fostering deep presence and awareness. Mindful storytelling involves all senses, not just sight or sound. Being present in your body and creative practices can help release stored trauma. Reframing nervousness as excitement can empower you to show up authentically on camera. Journaling is a simple yet powerful practice for mindful storytelling.
