Mind Love: Modern Mindfulness For Happiness, Health And Success

We will learn: The surprising difference between healthy high standards and destructive perfectionism How to recognize when your good intentions have become rigid rules that no longer serve you Why true connection comes from sharing our messy parts, not our perfect performance Have you ever caught yourself putting something off because you're waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect idea, or the perfect version of yourself to emerge? Maybe you don't consider yourself a perfectionist because your closet isn't color-coded or your life doesn't look Instagram-perfect. But what if perfectionism shows up in the way you hold yourself back?What's fascinating is that perfectionism isn't actually about being perfect – it's about never feeling good enough. And in our current culture of "hustle harder" and "live your best life," this feeling of inadequacy has found the perfect breeding ground. We're even trying to perfect the way we practice self-care or show up authentically – can you see the irony?Today our guest is

We will learn:·      Why your childhood experiences might be secretly driving your adult decisions (and how to change that)·      The surprising reason why you and someone else can experience the exact same event completely differently·      How understanding your core motivations can free you from repeating the same patterns over and over Imagine you're trying to untangle a complex knot. You could just pull at random strings, hoping to make progress. Or you could study the pattern of the knot first, understanding exactly how it's twisted and turned, making the untangling process much more intentional and effective.That's what these frameworks can do when we use them wisely. Instead of using them to build our identity, we can use them to understand our attachments, our default patterns, and the stories we've been telling ourselves. They become mirrors showing us where we might be stuck, where we tend to grasp too tightly, and where we might need to pay extra attention in our personal growth work.This revelati

We will learn: How to recognize which of your ideas are worth pursuing and when timing is right The practical first steps to move from idea to action, even if you're starting from zero Why "failing" might be exactly what you need to succeed, and how to use setbacks as stepping stones What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't what you think it is? What if it's not your lack of experience, or connections, or even money – but the simple act of not starting?This episode is a little bit different. While I love diving deep into spirituality and mindset work, sometimes what we really need is just a practical roadmap for turning our dreams into reality. Because at the end of the day, all the inner work in the world won't matter if we don't know how to take that first step.Today we're talking with someone who understands this journey intimately. Daryl Schwartz isn't just an entrepreneur – he's a serial entrepreneur who's turned multiple ideas into reality, including his latest venture, GoodBar. And what makes h

We will learn:·      Why fighting against your mental blocks actually makes them stronger, and what to do instead·      The surprising way your body holds the key to accessing and transforming subconscious programming·      How to use the principle of polarity to turn your biggest blocks into your greatest strengthsHave you ever noticed that the harder you work on yourself, the more resistive your inner blocks become? Like trying to catch smoke with your hands - the tighter you grasp, the more it slips through your fingers.I've been there. A few years ago, I was deep in what I now call my "transformation addiction" phase. Picture this: I'd wake up at 5 AM, meditate for an hour, journal three pages, recite affirmations in the mirror, take a cold shower, and that was all before my actual morning routine even started. I had reminders on my phone to check in with my mood, apps to track my habits, and a stack of self-help books by my bed that was slowly turning into a safety hazard. What if the key to real transfo

Get all the links to the gift guide here.I'm back with this year's holiday gift guide, and I always love creating this episode because it's become this beautiful ritual of reflection for me. It's a chance to share not just products, but the real insights and discoveries that have changed how I live this year.From training your brain with sound frequencies to understanding what your feet are trying to tell you (spoiler: they're not loving those tiny foot prisons), we're diving deep into the 'why' behind each recommendation.Whether you're shopping for someone special or treating yourself with that holiday cash, you'll learn: How different sound frequencies can help you shift mental states Why what you put ON your body is just as important as what you put IN it The surprising connection between men's underwear and fertility Why wool might be more "high vibe" than we thought Find links to everything mentioned at https://mindlove.com/podcast/gift-guide-2024Because sometimes the best gifts aren't just things - they

We will learn: Why money acts as one of our greatest spiritual teachers, if we're willing to listen How to decode the messages in your financial patterns and transform them from the inside out The surprising truth about wealth that has nothing to do with how much money you have What if your relationship with money was trying to teach you something deeper about yourself? What if every financial pattern – from overspending to under-earning, from hoarding to impulse-splurging – was actually a mirror, reflecting back your deepest beliefs and fears?This pattern isn't just about money – it shows up everywhere. Maybe you keep attracting the same types of toxic relationships. Maybe you sabotage opportunities right when things start going well. Maybe you can't let yourself enjoy success without waiting for the other shoe to drop. These patterns are trying to show us something about ourselves, if we're brave enough to look.Think about it: We've all met people who make six figures but live in constant scarcity. People w

We will learn: The crucial difference between beliefs and patterns (and why most people get stuck working on the wrong one) How to eliminate limiting beliefs in hours instead of years — validated by research The surprising truth about how childhood experiences create your adult survival strategies (and how to finally break free from them) How many times have you sworn to break a pattern, only to find yourself living it out again — in an entirely new way? We walk around thinking we're in control of our choices. But what if those big decisions about money, relationships, how much you think you're worth — what if those were actually decided by old family wounds you don't even remember?Let me give you some science to back this up. Research shows that 95% of what we do every day comes from our subconscious mind. Think about that. While you're over here setting goals and making vision boards, your subconscious is running the show based on programs it picked up years ago.But listen — these patterns aren't permanent.

We will learn: The science-backed connection between your mindset and your fertility (and why most doctors never mention this) Specific action steps you can take right now to optimize your fertility journey How to transform your relationship with your body from adversary to ally, even when you feel like it's failing you  Raise your hand if your fertility journey has not gone exactly as planned. I know there are hands going up everywhere right now - in cars, in kitchens, on morning walks, in offices. Maybe you've been trying for months – or years – with no success. Maybe you got pregnant easily before, and now you're facing loss after loss. Or maybe you're just starting out, and nothing is working the way you thought it would.Here's what's wild – about one in six couples struggles with fertility. That's way more common than most people think. But you know what? That number doesn't tell the whole story. It doesn't show the nights you've cried yourself to sleep, or how hard it is to scroll through social media s

We will learn: The surprising science behind how alcohol affects your social confidence – even after just a couple drinks A fresh approach to navigating social situations that doesn't require liquid courage The unexpected link between everyday stress and drinking habits – and how to break free from this cycle once and for all Have you ever had that moment when you're a few drinks in, feeling like the conversation is flowing perfectly... but the next morning you find yourself overthinking every single thing you said? You weren't even drunk – just "socially lubricated" enough to wonder if maybe you talked a little too much, laughed a little too loud, or shared a little too freely.Here's what's fascinating – recent studies show that millennials and Gen Z are leading a quiet revolution in drinking culture. Alcohol consumption among young adults has dropped by 20% in the last decade. They're asking the questions many of us have been afraid to ask: Why is having a drink in hand the default setting for every social

In this episode, you'll learn: How to build authentic relationships that fit your current life stage (no time machine required) The difference between being connected and feeling connected (they're not the same thing) Practical ways to deepen relationships and create new ones, no matter how busy or complicated your life is Have you ever noticed how loneliness shows up differently as we move through life? Maybe in your twenties it hit you at 4 AM when you realized your party crew wasn't really there for you. Or maybe it's hitting you now, in your thirties or forties, when you're staring at your phone wondering when making friends got so damn complicated.Here's what nobody tells you about growing up: connection gets trickier. Maybe you're married with kids, and your idea of social life is trading war stories with other parents at pickup. Or you're single, watching your friends disappear into their domestic lives while you're still trying to figure out where to meet people who aren't swiping right. Or you've got

We will learn: How to spot and break out of subconscious loops that keep you stuck Practical ways to start consciously creating a life that’s actually yours Tools for creating real, lasting change in every part of your life One day, you’re wild, free, spontaneous—living each moment like anything could happen next. And then, before you know it, you wake up and realize… you’re living the same day for the 5,000th time.It doesn’t happen all at once. At first, that routine feels comfortable, like you’ve finally got things under control. But soon enough, it’s like you’re stuck on a loop. The same habits, the same thoughts, the same patterns keep showing up. And every time you try to break free or make a change, it’s like you’re right back where you started.If you’ve ever felt trapped in a loop like that, you know how it feels. Maybe for you, it’s not something visible, like an addiction or habit. Maybe it’s quieter—a fear that keeps you from making bold choices, a doubt that stops you from trying new things, or jus

We will learn: How positive psychology techniques can be applied to prevent suicide and improve overall mental health. Practical strategies, including Niyc's "333 system," that you can start using today to build resilience and cope with life's challenges. The importance of creating meaningful connections and how small daily actions can make a significant difference in mental well-being. Have you ever noticed how we tend to avoid talking about suicide until it's too late? It's a topic that many of us shy away from, perhaps because it's uncomfortable, or maybe because we think it won't touch our lives. But the truth is, it affects more of us than we realize.The thing is, when it comes to suicide, we often tell ourselves that hindsight is 20/20. We say, "If only we had known, we could have done something." But is that really true? Or is it just a comforting lie we tell ourselves to ease the pain of loss and helplessness?The reality is, we don't have to wait for hindsight. We can take action now. We can learn to

We will learn: How the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine views the connection between the heart and uterus, and why this matters for your fertility journey. The power of conscious creation and how your thoughts and visualizations can influence your reproductive health. Practical techniques to reduce stress and promote the free flow of energy in your body, potentially enhancing your fertility. Have you ever felt like your body has a mind of its own, especially when it comes to fertility? Like no matter how much you plan or hope, your reproductive journey seems to have its own mysterious timeline?Studies have shown that chronic stress can affect everything from our immune system to our hormonal balance. In fact, research published in the journal Human Reproduction found that women with high levels of stress enzymes in their saliva were 29% less likely to get pregnant compared to those with lower levels.What if the key to unlocking our fertility potential lies not just in medical interventions, but

We will learn: How to tap into the unparalleled intelligence of your heart to access higher intuition and make better daily decisions How to align the brains in your heart, head and gut to create more health and success in your life Proven practices to shift from overthinking and resistance into flow, clarity and harmony in your daily life They say the mind is a powerful thing—but what if we've been putting the wrong part of ourselves in charge all along?This is where heart intelligence comes in. It's not about abandoning logic—it's about finding a balance. It's about cultivating enough trust within ourselves that we can stop overthinking every decision and instead feel our way into a life that not only looks impressive on paper but feels deeply satisfying too.In this episode, we're diving deep into what it means to live from your heart, not just your head. We'll explore practical ways to quiet the mind's constant chatter and tune into your inner guidance system. Because here's the truth: your heart already k

How has everyone been doing? because I have been going through it. September was the most challenging month of my responsible-adult-chapter of my life. It tested every ounce of my resilience and every spiritual tool I've ever preached about. It was the kind of month that makes you question if the universe has a personal vendetta against you. Grief, fear, and raw survival instincts hit me all at once.Here's what I've discovered: in most cases, it's not about rising above or avoiding certain experiences, but instead, radically changing how you experience them. Instead of spiraling in the storm, you dance in the rain.So in this episode, I'm about to share the story of my month filled with loss, terrifying medical chaos, natural disasters, and the business decision that forced me to navigate it all while literally evacuating my family to safety.And I’m also going to share how I’m dealing with it all, because I am still currently in it… what I’m learning, how I’m processing, what I'm leaning into and out of, and m

We will learn: How consciousness, not your brain, is the primary creator of your reality. The secret to meditation's deep rest and wakeful alertness. How transcendental meditation can transform your brain functions, improve your physiological age, and even alter your DNA. Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Damn, why does my brain keep screwing me over?" Maybe you're stuck in an anxiety spiral, or you can't kick that habit you've been trying to ditch for years. Trust me, I've been there, and it's a special kind of hell.Here's a wild thought: What if everything we think we know about our brains is completely backwards?Most people have the wrong expectations of meditation… and actually meditation is kind of the antithesis of meditation. And transcendental meditation helps you get to that state. Non judgment. Non attachment. No expectations. Letting go. And sometimes, even moments of bliss. Our guest is Dr. Tony Nader, one of the godfathers of transcendental meditation and basically an expert in consciousness.

We will learn: The hidden impacts of constant online exposure. Simple, yet powerful ways to reclaim your focus and purpose. How to change how you connect to others. Do you feel in control of your phone use? Or does it sometimes feel like it’s in control of you? Have you ever wondered how much of your daily stress and anxiety is linked to your phone and constant connectivity? How different would your life be if you made intentional choices to unplug?The problem is, so many of these devices or apps to help you decrease screen time feel so all or nothing. Or they’re too easy to get around. And then ultimately, the change isn’t sustainable. That’s why I’m excited about the approach I learned in this episode. Instead of just cutting off tech, or decreasing our Instagram usage to 30 minutes a day… Hannah Brencher suggests a challenge of 1000 hours completely tech free.What I love about this method is that it alone also gives you a hit of dopamine, but toward something more positive. Those of you who love to-do list

We will learn: The 3 sinister phases of burnout and learn how to recognize the alarm bells before it's too late. How a simple object can tune you into the hidden messages your body is sending. A powerful blueprint for reclaiming your energy and purpose. Do you ever feel like you're drowning in your own life? Like no matter how hard you try to keep your head above water, you just keep sinking deeper?Yeah, me too. And guess what? We're not alone. Over 80% of people have experienced burnout in the last four years. That's not just feeling tired – we're talking full-on, soul-crushing burnout.But, what if I told you there's another way? What if we could rewire our lives to work for us, not against us?In this episode, we're going to get real about burnout. We're going to talk about why it's not just you being "lazy" or "weak." We're going to call out the systems that are failing us, and most importantly, we're going to talk about how to dig ourselves out of this hole.Our guest is Neha Sangwan, MD, CEO and founder of

We will learn: How early emotional experiences secretly shape your neurological coding and influence your life's core beliefs. How your body stores untapped wisdom and intuition, and how to use them to break free from autopilot reactions. A life-changing method to create a gap between stimulus and response. Do you ever catch yourself reacting to a situation and wonder, "Where the hell did that come from?" One minute you're fine, the next you're spiraling into anxiety or lashing out in anger. It's like your emotional thermostat is set to "overreact," and you can't figure out how to reset it.Here's the thing: we're all walking around with invisible wounds from our childhood. Some are gaping and obvious, others are subtle scratches we barely notice. But make no mistake, they're all shaping how we move through the world as adults.This is where understanding our "neurological wounding" comes in. It's not about blaming our parents or wallowing in past hurts. It's about recognizing how those early experiences litera

We will learn: The habits that could be causing you to be your own worst enemy and how to fix them. Why teeny-tiny nudges can steer your life back on course in monumental ways. What’s different about the mysterious 2% super achievers that just flow with life. Ever feel like you're almost running on a hamster wheel, chasing happiness but never quite catching it? Like you're stuck in a loop of monotony, waiting for some big event to finally break you out of your rut?The truth is, many of us are sleepwalking through life, caught up in routines and habits that don't serve us. We're so busy doing what we think we should be doing that we forget to ask ourselves what actually makes us happy. But here's the thing: happiness isn't some far-off destination. It's not something that happens to us. It's something we create, day by day, choice by choice.So today, we're learning about the art of being brilliant. Our guest is Andy Cope, a happiness expert and best-selling author. Andy has spent years studying what makes peop
