   Mind-Body Connection and Community: Maria Van Der Maaten on Wellbeing

   Your body often speaks before your mind catches up: tight shoulders, shallow breath, a quiet no. If you have been pushing through and feeling out of sync with yourself, this conversation is for you. On Inner Peace, Better Health, host Niharika talks with Maria Van Der Maaten about seeing mind, body and emotions as one connected system, and why wellbeing grows more gently in community than alone. About the Guest: Maria Van Der Maaten describes herself as a systems thinker. She is a teacher, a parent of two, and the author of the upcoming book Even Monks Meditate Together. Key Takeaways: Mind, body and emotions work as one system, not separate parts. Stuck for a hobby? Ask what you loved at eight, before you cared what others thought. Feeling your feelings, even the messy ones, can be freeing. Build several social circles so no single one carries all the weight. We are not meant to do wellbeing alone. Start by trying one thing.

   Finding Calm in High-Pressure Careers: Inner Peace with Lisa Haynes

   Do your shoulders live up near your ears? On Inner Peace, Better Health, host Niharika and coach Lisa Haynes explore stress management for professionals and what inner peace looks like on a messy Tuesday. You will learn why peace is a practice, how stress shows up in the body, and how to spot the peace stealers draining your energy. About the Guest: Lisa Haynes is a retirement and executive coach in Tampa, Florida. After years leading finance teams, she created Retired and Killing It and has written two books. Key Takeaways: Inner peace means settling your own mind while the world stays busy. Ask "Who am I?" and name five adjectives that describe your core. Constant striving often hides inner dissatisfaction. Notice whose approval you chase. An eye twitch, gut trouble or poor sleep can be stress signals. Name your peace stealers and take one thing off your plate this week. Before taking on a burden, ask: is this my monkey, my circus?

   Finding Calm in Daily Chaos: Faith, Intention and Inner Peace with Xenia Ioannidis

   Can you find calm when life has taken almost everything away? This episode of Inner Peace, Better Health is for anyone carrying constant tension or overthinking, and struggling to slow down even when they know they need to. Healer and master coach Xenia Ioannidis shares how faith and a sense of purpose kept her grounded through a devastating season, and offers a simple five-line intention practice for morning and night. About the Guest: Xenia Ioannidis is a healer and master coach who has run healing and teaching practices since 2007, including the HyperTherapy Center. Now based in Miami, she writes the Crowned in Faith series of children's books. Key Takeaways: Inner peace doesn't mean a stress-free life. Challenges will still come. Much anxiety is fear of the unknown. Trusting yourself, and for Xenia, faith, brings calm. A short intention practice in bed, morning and night, sets the tone. When you lose your balance, don't isolate. Helping others moves you into solution mode. Keep a list of simple, free resets: a walk, a shower, music, tending plants.

Rebuild After Divorce and Job Loss with Ralph Brewer

Published 16 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] It's not the end of the world. That is in fact what a lot of guys that I work with realize after going through a horrible divorce.
