There’s a quiet kind of turning point—when the life you’ve built still looks good on the outside, but doesn’t feel like home on the inside. On The Mindful Living, hosted by Yusuf, we sit with that moment and explore what it may be asking of you.

This episode is for anyone in a season of transition—career shifts, relationship changes, identity questions, or that simple “Is this it?” feeling. Randy Bishop shares a grounded path for moving forward without rushing: rebuilding trust with yourself through reflection, reframing, and restoring what’s most true.

Randy Bishop is an author, speaker, and coach who supports people navigating midlife transitions and reinvention. He created The RE-Method, a simple framework for becoming more aligned with who you are.

1. 00:02:04 — When life looks fine, but doesn’t feel like home

2. 00:03:31 — “I became someone for everyone else”—the identity gap

3. 00:04:36 — Why transition is happening all the time, not just in crises

4. 00:05:51 — What we miss when we rush or live on autopilot

5. 00:10:32 — Subtle signs: unrest, the search for peace, and inner wake-up calls

6. 00:14:12 — The RE-Method: Reflect, Reframe, Restore

7. 00:18:51 — Repeat: becoming is a lifelong practice, not a one-time fix

• Treat transition as a daily process, not a single dramatic event.

• Notice early signals: unrest, loss of peace, or “Is this it?” thoughts.

• Ask three grounding questions: where have I been, where am I now, where am I going?

• Use Reflect → Reframe → Restore to realign with what fits today.

• Create “quiet minutes” daily—look yourself in the eye and ask what you need.

• Move one step at a time so life feels less overwhelming.

On The Mindful Living, hosted by Sana, we name the quieter kind of fear—the one that whispers you’re not ready—and the self-doubt that makes even simple choices feel heavy. In this conversation, Sana sits down with Sean McManus to explore what it really takes to move forward when your mind wants to freeze.

This episode is for anyone who believes deeply but still feels stuck—especially those navigating pressure, identity, and the weight of “should.” Together, they unpack how faith and action can work as partners, how to tell caution from avoidance, and why progress often looks like small steps stacked over time.

Sean McManus helps men who feel stuck step back into leadership in their lives and families. His approach centers on fitness, nutrition, discipline, faith, and building strong support systems.

• 00:03:43 — Naming the quieter fear and the weight of self-doubt

• 00:06:32 — “On the sidelines”: stuck vs. lazy, and the comfort trap

• 00:09:20 — When you’re trying but not seeing results: staying with the growth journey

• 00:14:22 — Discerning fear: burnout-warning vs. fear that blocks your next step

• 00:17:08 — When prayer feels quiet: pairing faith with practical action

• 00:20:46 — A parent’s lens on God: free will, fulfillment, and “What do you want?”

• 00:22:33 — Accountability without isolation: why support and mentors matter

• Treat “no action” as a signal: pick one next right step instead of needing the full plan.

• Expect “this isn’t working” days—growth often feels like uncertainty before clarity.

• Ask: is this fear protecting me (rest, recovery, wisdom) or shrinking me (avoidance)?

• Pair prayer with movement: seek guidance, then take a small action that keeps you learning.

• Build support on purpose: mentors, coaches, and peers who push you toward growth.

• Drop the victim loop: own your choices while still honoring real circumstances and needs.

In The Mindful Living Podcast, hosted by Sana, we explore why “inner peace” can feel far away—and what meditation is actually doing inside you when you sit down and meet yourself. This episode is for anyone who’s tried mindfulness and secretly wondered, “Why does this feel harder for me?”

Guest Stuart Perrin shares how a moment of deep serenity he witnessed at his father’s deathbed reshaped his life—and how meditation became a practical craft for transforming inner tension into steadiness, joy, and an open heart.

Stuart Perrin is a meditation teacher and author of “Rudra Meditation: Transforming Life’s Tensions into Joy and Love.” He teaches multiple weekly Zoom classes and has extensive Q&A content on YouTube and Facebook.

1. 00:09:10 — When “peace” feels like another thing you’re failing at

2. 00:10:03 — The deathbed serenity that changed everything

3. 00:15:37 — Breath as prayer: “so hum” and conscious breathing

4. 00:19:07 — The chakra system: why it feels “dormant”

5. 00:21:33 — Grounding below the navel + gratitude to open the heart

6. 00:31:27 — “When the student is ready, the teacher appears”

7. 00:46:34 — How to learn with Stuart: book, Zoom classes, and Q&A library

• Treat meditation as a skill: build inner capacity, not a perfect “state.”

• Practice grounding attention below the navel before chasing calm in the mind.

• Use gratitude as a direct doorway to soften and open the heart.

• Breathe consciously: inhale as receiving life, exhale as letting go.

• Notice how the mind flips between past/future—and return to now as training.

This episode is for anyone in recovery, rebuilding after major life changes, or feeling discouraged by emotional setbacks. You’ll learn why “clarity before comfort” is part of real growth, how to pause before reacting, and how surrender can replace control without losing momentum.

Ryan Reichert is an entrepreneur and coach who wrote about the Icarus Effect and emotional highs and lows. He served 23 years in the U.S. Army as an Airborne Ranger and shares being 20 months into recovery.

• 00:18:01 — Mindfulness: control or allowing what’s here?

• 00:23:02 — Why “survival mode” can feel comfortable

• 00:35:05 — Analysis paralysis and faster decisions

• 00:41:15 — Where to connect and keep the work going

Presence sounds simple—until your nervous system treats “being here” as unsafe. In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana explores why “live in the moment” can feel confronting, especially for anyone carrying trauma or disconnection.

Therapist Lou Lachman shares how kindness, slow pacing, and body-based energy practices can create a bridge back to safety. This conversation is for anyone who feels “spacey,” overwhelmed by mindfulness, or tired of performative wellness—offering practical ways to listen to your body without forcing healing.

Lou Lachman is a therapist whose work grew from her own healing journey. She has supported people navigating dissociation, trauma, and disconnection from the body, using energy-based approaches and deep listening.

• Treat “listening to yourself” as a gentle skill, not a self-improvement demand

• Use simple grounding: hold forehead (thinking brain) or chest (heart) a bit longer

• Recognize dissociation as a protective strategy—not a personal failure

• Aim for safety first: presence should be negotiated with the nervous system

• Choose tools that fit you (movement, breath, writing, rest) and keep practicing

What if “purity” isn’t a trend—but a signal your body and mind are asking for clarity? In this episode, we explore how skepticism, curiosity, and personal responsibility can coexist when you’re searching for real answers.

On The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana speaks with Stan Kurtz, founder of Quantum Research, about his journey from grief and uncertainty to studying patterns in blood, environment, toxins, infections, and deficiencies. This conversation is for listeners who feel overwhelmed by conflicting health narratives and want a grounded way to think, question, and choose next steps with discernment.

Stan Kurtz is the founder of Quantum Research. He shares how his family experiences led him to study health patterns at a microscopic level and develop a framework focused on identifying key drivers affecting the body.

• Build your “discernment filter”: ask what someone tried, why, and what measurable outcome changed.

• Treat health like a dashboard: track patterns, not labels—look for root drivers behind symptoms.

• Simplify inputs: consider toxins, infections, deficiencies, and excesses as starting categories.

• Don’t outsource truth blindly: investigate claims, request evidence, and verify with real examples.

• Use curiosity without agreement: skepticism can be a doorway to deeper self-awareness.

When stress and anxiety feel like constant background noise, even “good days” can feel heavy. In this episode of The Mindful Living, host Sana explores whether tapping is a practical grounding tool—or another wellness trend that misses complexity.

Guest Marla Ballard shares how FreeMe EFT evolved from traditional EFT to feel simpler, less rigid, and more supportive—especially for people who feel overwhelmed or skeptical after trying multiple approaches. This conversation is for anyone who wants more internal space to respond instead of react, and a usable option for emotional release.

Marla Ballard is the CEO of YU2SHINE and Director of Unconquerable mE®. She teaches FreeMe EFT, a licensed and trademarked approach to EFT used in U2Shine’s quantum personal development work.

• Release stress without needing “perfect” wording or a rigid sequence.

• Close the loop: clear old emotion, then install a supportive new belief state.

• Follow body wisdom: let breath, yawns, movement, and sensation guide release.

• Use tapping to reach a baseline when emotions feel too big to explain.

• Treat skepticism as discernment—stay open without forcing a fit.

When food becomes comfort, control, or escape, it’s easy to believe something is wrong with you. This episode gently dismantles that belief and reframes emotional eating as a learned coping response, not a personal failure.

Hosted by Sana on The Mindful Living Podcast, this conversation is for anyone stuck in cycles of restriction, overeating, guilt, or secrecy around food. You’ll gain clarity, compassion, and practical insight into why willpower and diets fail—and what actually helps you rebuild trust with yourself.

About the Guest: Nadege Saysana helps women who lift and appear strong on the outside but struggle with binge and emotional eating, especially at night. Her work focuses on changing the relationship with food by addressing emotional and mental patterns.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional eating is information, not a flaw

• Restriction fuels loss of control, not discipline

• Shame keeps the cycle alive; curiosity breaks it

• The DIF method (Duration, Intensity, Frequency) reveals patterns

• Healing starts by understanding emotions, not fighting food
