About this listen

Life, Alchemized is a podcast about the quiet, powerful work of inner transformation.


Hosted by leadership coach and neuroscience-informed practitioner Natasha Sheyenne, this show explores how psychology, neuroscience, and mental wellness intersect with real life. Not as optimization. Not as hustle. But as support.

Each episode invites you to look beneath your habits, stress patterns, and inner narratives to understand what’s actually happening in your mind and nervous system—and how small, compassionate shifts can create meaningful change. From burnout and self-talk to agency, resilience, emotional regulation, and sustainable effort, Life, Alchemized translates complex science into human language you can use.


This is a space for people who are tired of pushing and ready to listen more accurately to themselves. For those who want growth without self-abandonment. Clarity without urgency. Strength that includes softness.


Because transformation doesn’t require becoming someone new. It happens when you learn how to work with yourself—gently, intelligently, and with care.

  • Regulation Before Mindset

    Regulation Before Mindset
    Feb 16 2026

    In today's episode, we explore how the nervous system sets the limits of cognition and why regulation is the missing layer beneath learning, leadership, and growth. Practical tools show how to return to the window of tolerance so effort turns into capability rather than burnout.

  • The Power of Reflection

    The Power of Reflection
    Feb 9 2026

    In today's episode, we explore how reflection turns raw experience into learning, lowers stress by making meaning, and improves decisions without slowing momentum. We define reflection versus rumination, outline practical formats, and offer levels of practice from starter routines to advanced restraint.

  • Rethinking Self-Talk

    Rethinking Self-Talk
    Feb 2 2026

    In today's episode, we explore how inner narration shapes stress, attention, and choices, and we teach a simple method to move from reactivity to agency. Realistic, stabilizing language replaces drama so you can think clearly, lead better, and act on what matters.
