In this episode of The Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with Rich Ashton to unpack what “improving your life trajectory” really means, and how leadership growth can stay grounded, human, and sustainable. Rich shares how honest conversations, clear expectations, and steady course-correction can change someone’s path at work and at home.

This one is for founders, managers, and high-potential professionals who feel stuck, are scaling a team, or want to lead with more clarity and less stress. You will walk away with practical leadership principles, culture signals to fix fast, and a simple way to build confidence through action, feedback, and continuous learning.

Rich Ashton is a longtime small-business owner who built an internal leadership development program and transitioned leadership to the team he developed. He is the author of Growing Your Own and offers training focused on developing leaders inside small businesses.

• Start leadership development by identifying what is holding someone back (often a self-imposed ceiling).

• Culture is shared values, not vibes; one person violating values can derail the whole team.

• Avoid the small-business leadership trap: outsiders may miss culture, insiders may lack readiness.

• Build healthy leadership with accountability, proactivity, communication, and innovation through learning.

• Confidence grows through clear delegation, agreed expectations, and honest debriefs, not pressure.

• Fear drives bad leadership decisions; expect to be wrong sometimes and course-correct quickly.

In Wellness Reimagined, host Shreya sits down with author and “ordinary mystic” Blair Abee to make meditation, mindfulness, manifestation, and soul contact feel usable in everyday life. They break down why “quieting your mind” is the wrong goal for many people, and what to do instead.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, scattered, or skeptical but still curious. You will leave with a grounded way to integrate practice into your mornings, evenings, and random Tuesdays without escaping real life.

Blair Abee is an author, poet, and educator. He founded Energetic Web Publishing and has written five Amazon best-selling books on meditation, mindfulness, manifestation, and personal development.

Key Takeaways:

• Stop forcing silence and learn to partner with the mind

• Use “best possible outcome” requests instead of ego-driven manifesting

• Build consistency with short morning and evening meditation sessions

• Treat spirituality as an inside-out way to live, not an escape

• Try different methods until one actually fits your brain and life

Alignment is not “balance” on paper. It is the felt sense of safety, calm, and steadiness when life gets loud. In this episode, Jennifer Pilates breaks down what alignment feels like day to day, and how to spot the difference between being aligned and just coping on autopilot.

This conversation is for anyone who looks functional on the outside but feels disconnected inside. You will hear practical ways to reconnect with your intuition, shift heavy energy into grounded clarity, and use simple actions (nature, appreciation, service) to realign from the inside out.

About the Guest :

Jennifer Pilates has spent over 25 years helping people release inner blocks, reconnect with intuition, and step into empowered alignment. She offers virtual intuitive sessions and Reiki distance healing, and hosts the podcast Empowered Within.

Key Takeaways :

• Use your body as data: alignment feels safe, cohesive, and steady; misalignment feels rushed, irritable, and overwhelmed.

• Spot “coping mode”: heavy energy, autopilot, checklists with no joy or color.

• The biggest disconnect is often head vs heart: “should” living vs what truly lights you up.

• Start realignment outside: sit in nature and list 3 things you appreciate, plus why they matter.

• Ask better questions: shift from “Why is this happening to me?” to “How is this happening for me?”

• Right before breakthroughs, expect resistance: storms often come before the next opportunity.
