  • Emotional Needs vs Spiritual Needs: The Framework Behind Why You Feel Stuck with J.D. Pincus

    Emotional Needs vs Spiritual Needs: The Framework Behind Why You Feel Stuck with J.D. Pincus
    Jan 13 2026

    On Mind Over Matter, host Aanya sits down with J.D. Pincus to decode why so many high-functioning people still feel empty, numb, or restless. He breaks down emotions as real-time data, not personality flaws, and shares why most of what drives us is subconscious.

    This episode is for anyone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels misaligned inside. You will learn how unmet needs shape behavior, why grind-mode often neglects self, social, and spiritual needs, and how to rebalance without blowing up your life.

    About the Guest :

    J.D. Pincus is a social psychologist and the creator of the Periodic Table of Human Motivations. He is also the author of The Emotionally Agile Brain.

    Key Takeaways :

    • Emotions are signals of unmet needs, not something to ignore

    • Most motivation runs subconsciously, so labeling feelings is hard

    • Material success cannot replace self, social, and spiritual fulfillment

    • Spiritual needs can be grounded in justice, ethics, and higher purpose

    • Small daily actions can restore balance across all need domains

  • Narcissism, Spiritual Recovery, and the Path to Inner Transformation with Sterlin Mosley

    Narcissism, Spiritual Recovery, and the Path to Inner Transformation with Sterlin Mosley
    Jan 1 2026

    Narcissism is often treated like a label to fear, but this conversation treats it as a doorway to deeper self-awareness. Sterlin Mosley reframes narcissism as a defense strategy, not the entirety of a person, and explains why naming patterns is the first step to real healing.

    This episode is for anyone navigating ego, empathy struggles, spiritual communities, or the aftermath of a painful relationship. You will learn how self-protection can masquerade as enlightenment, why psychology and spirituality must develop together, and how accountability can create connection instead of shame.

    About the Guest :

    Sterlin Mosley is the author of The Narcissist in You and Everyone Else and Center of the Universe. He works with people exploring narcissistic traits and the psychology-spirituality intersection.

    Key Takeaways :

    • Treat narcissism as a defense strategy, not a full identity

    • Name the pattern first so you know what to heal

    • Watch for “helper” roles used to control outcomes

    • Build psychology and spirituality together, not separately

    • Pair insight with behavior change, not excuses

    • Use self-awareness to grow empathy without tolerating harm

  • Healing Multiple Sclerosis Through Five Koshas with Dayna Wylder

    Healing Multiple Sclerosis Through Five Koshas with Dayna Wylder
    Dec 23 2025
    In this returning conversation, we unpack what happens when a life-altering diagnosis forces a full reset. Dayna Wylder shares how her multiple sclerosis experience pushed her from “fight mode” into deep listening. We talk nervous system disconnection, trauma patterns, chronic stress, and why healing can look more like integration than “fixing.” Dayna breaks down the Five Koshas as a practical framework for whole-person well-being. Physical care matters, but so do energy, mindset, emotional digestion, and the shift from living in effect to living in cause through radical responsibility. If you’re navigating autoimmune symptoms, burnout, or feeling disconnected from your own body, this episode reframes healing as collaboration with your body, not a war against it. About the Guest : Dayna Wylder is an author and healing guide exploring trauma recovery, nervous system restoration, energy and vibration, and the Five Koshas as a pathway back to embodied well-being. She recently released her book Unlearned Disease, Relearn Well-Being and is beginning her podcast guest journey to share what she’s learned. Key Takeaways: A diagnosis can become its own trauma. The mindset shift is moving from battling symptoms to building a relationship with the body. Dayna challenges compartmentalized healthcare thinking and focuses on the body-mind link. How thoughts can shape bodily signals and stress chemistry. Multiple sclerosis is described here as a disruption in sensing and interpreting the world. That reframes “healing” as restoring connection and safety in the body. Listening starts when you stop overriding the whispers. If you ignore them your body can escalate to a full stop moment. “Doing” and over-achieving can be a coping strategy for discomfort with being. Slowing down becomes a required skill, not a vibe. Toxic positivity fails when emotions are undigested. Making space for anger grief and fear helps them move through instead of getting stored. The Five Koshas model supports multi-layer healing: physical habits, energy awareness, mental patterns, wisdom, and the deeper experience of bliss. Radical responsibility shifts you from effect to cause. Expectations, triggers, and old patterns become data not a life sentence. Healing is not linear. Old wounds can resurface. Awareness plus self-regulation shortens the spiral.

  • Reclaim Your Rhythm: Nervous System Mastery with Rachel Korb

    Reclaim Your Rhythm: Nervous System Mastery with Rachel Korb
    Dec 11 2025
    High achieving women are burning out inside systems built around a 24 hour male rhythm. In this conversation, coach and founder of Nervous System Mastery for Women, Rachel Korb breaks down why so many women feel like they are failing at productivity when in reality the framework is failing them. She explains the science of the circadian versus infradian cycle, how the four phases of the menstrual cycle affect energy, focus and emotional regulation, and why capacity is never meant to be constant. Rachel walks through the concept of the window of tolerance, the difference between fight or flight and freeze or shutdown, and how chronic stress and allostatic load quietly erode health, hormones and performance. She also names the early warning signs women tend to override . tension in the body, distraction cycles, perfectionism and a brutal inner critic. If you are successful on paper yet exhausted in your body, this episode gives you a practical, physiology based playbook to renegotiate how you work, rest and relate to yourself. Think less hustle, more strategic nervous system regulation that actually fits a female body and a real life. About the Guest: Rachel Korb is an ICF certified coach and the founder of Nervous System Mastery for Women. She has worked with women from more than 40 countries, helping them move from burnout and chronic dysregulation to sustainable high performance that respects their biology. Drawing on two decades of mindfulness, somatics and leadership work, Rachel teaches women to work with their nervous system, menstrual cycle and lived realities instead of trying to squeeze into a one size fits all productivity model. Key Takeaways: Women in their reproductive years run on a 24 hour circadian rhythm plus a roughly 28 day infradian rhythm, so expecting the same energy and output every day is biologically misaligned. The four phases of the menstrual cycle (follicular, ovulation, luteal, menstruation) change how flexible the nervous system is. Capacity for stress and social engagement is usually higher in the first half of the cycle and more vulnerable after ovulation. The window of tolerance framework helps women name three states. regulated connection, hyper arousal (fight, flight, fawn) and hypo arousal (freeze, shutdown). Chronic time outside this window drives burnout. Allostatic load is the wear and tear of chronic stress on the body. When women never fully recover, it accelerates cellular aging, disrupts hormones, worsens sleep and sets the stage for burnout, anxiety and physical symptoms. High performing women often ignore early red flags . constant tension, migraines, insomnia, doom scrolling, binge watching, emotional numbness, and self soothing with food or alcohol instead of regulation. Many women carry a strong inner critic, impostor syndrome and perfectionism, with very little self compassion. This nervous system pattern shrinks the window of tolerance and makes recovery harder. Sustainable regulation is not about rigid 30 minute routines. It is about micro practices woven into daily life. breathwork, movement, humming in the shower to stimulate the vagus nerve and somatic sensing that meets the body where it is. Practices should change by cycle phase. what works in the high energy follicular phase will not be appropriate in the more sensitive luteal phase. Adapting regulation tools to biology turns them into a genuine strategic advantage. Rest is not optional. it is infrastructure. Women need explicit permission to stop performing long enough to listen to their bodies instead of chasing worth through constant productivity. When women understand their physiology, they can stop blaming themselves, redesign their work around their actual rhythm and build careers and lives that do not require a fourth round of burnout to get the message.

  • Are Your Four Bodies Out of Alignment in the Modern Age? With Gabriela Popescu

    Are Your Four Bodies Out of Alignment in the Modern Age? With Gabriela Popescu
    Dec 7 2025
    In this conversation on Mind Over Matter, Gabriela Popescu breaks down the four bodies we carry through life. physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. No fluff, no mystical escape hatch. just a clear reality check on why one meditation session will not fix a body that is exhausted, undernourished and emotionally shut down. Gabriela calls out the quick fix culture that chases pills, hacks and instant gratification while ignoring lifestyle, boundaries and nervous system health. She explains how unprocessed emotions from childhood, rigid cultural expectations and inherited beliefs quietly run the show in adulthood, shaping how we think, react and relate. If you are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out or just “off,” this episode gives you simple, practical entry points. from a ten minute walk and protein in the morning, to emotional self inquiry, belief work, breathwork, grounding and intentional spiritual practice. About the Guest: Gabriela Popescu is a practitioner who bridges ancient wisdom with modern life, using the four body framework to help clients reclaim physical resilience, emotional literacy, mental clarity and spiritual connection. Raised in Romania and now living in the United States, she understands the impact of culture, family conditioning and fast paced environments on the nervous system. Her work focuses on practical, sustainable practices that people can actually integrate into busy lives, rather than chasing the next spiritual trend. Key Takeaways: Wholeness is not a single practice. Your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies influence each other constantly, so working on only one creates limited results. Quick fix mentality is a trap. Society trains us to want pills, hacks and instant gratification, but real change in health and mindset comes from consistent lifestyle shifts, not shortcuts. Emotional avoidance is expensive. Many of us were taught to suppress anger, sadness or fear, and that suppression later shows up as burnout, anxiety, disconnection and physical symptoms. Beliefs formed between ages zero and seven silently steer adult life. Stories like “the world is not safe” or “I am only worthy if I achieve” must be examined and consciously updated. Simple daily actions work. Ten minutes of walking, starting the day with protein, five minutes of silence, basic breathwork and clear boundaries can reset the nervous system and create real momentum. Spiritual practice does not need to be complicated. Intention setting, grounding visualizations and mindful breath are enough to begin strengthening the spiritual body without adding pressure or perfectionism.

  • Are Life Transitions Really Your Hero’s Journey In Disguise? with Dr. Jessie and Omar Ferreira

    Are Life Transitions Really Your Hero’s Journey In Disguise? with Dr. Jessie and Omar Ferreira
    Dec 6 2025
    In this episode of Mind Over Matter, we unpack life transitions not as random chaos but as invitations into your own hero’s journey. Dr. Jessie from A Soul’s Quest (ASQ) shares how empty nest, identity loss and leaving a six-figure corporate role became catalysts for deep self-discovery instead of breakdown. She explains her “engine and dashboard” analogy. how core drives like belonging and purpose power our lives while emotions show up as warning lights we usually ignore. Through the PEP framework (Perspective, Experience, Philosophy), she lays out a practical way to pause, reframe your story and respond instead of freeze when everything familiar falls away. If you’re feeling untethered by career changes, parenting shifts or spiritual burnout, this conversation gives you grounded language and tools to recognize your call to adventure and step into the next chapter with intention. About the Guest : Dr. Jessie is a psychospritual guide, educator and co-creator of A Soul’s Quest (ASQ) and ASQ Empowerment Services. Drawing on research, lived experience and the hero’s journey, she helps people move through major life transitions. from toxic workplaces and identity loss to empty nest and reinvention. Her work focuses on core drives, emotional awareness and building a philosophy of life rooted in authentic belonging and self-trust. Key Takeaways: Empty nest and other life transitions can trigger a loss of purpose. but they’re often signals that your core drives for belonging, meaning and contribution are ready to evolve. Core drives are like the “engine” of your life, while emotions act as dashboard lights. when you feel loneliness, shame or depletion, it’s data, not a verdict on your worth. The PEP framework helps you navigate disruption. Perspective (step back), Experience (ask “what can I learn” instead of “why me”), and Philosophy (decide how you’ll now show up in life). The hero’s journey shows up in real life as a call to adventure. for Dr. Jessie, that meant leaving a well-paid but toxic corporate job to fully commit to A Soul’s Quest. Daily anchoring practices like having a dedicated reflection space, journaling honestly and speaking to your inner child with grace help you stay grounded during emotional and spiritual depletion. How Listeners Can Connect with the Guest Search for “A Soul’s Quest Podcast” (ASQ) on your favorite podcast platform to hear more of Dr. Jessie and Omar’s teachings on the hero’s journey and conscious transitions. Look for “A Soul’s Quest” and “ASQ Empowerment Services” on social platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube) and website to learn about their group guiding, empowerment work and community offerings. During the episode, Dr. Jessie invites anyone curious about core drives and the PEP framework to reach out through their A Soul’s Quest ecosystem for deeper guidance and support.
