From Mom Guilt to Heart Health: The Power of Self-Care with Sarah Wilson

In this gripping episode of The Soul Mirror, host Shreya sits down with Sarah Wilson—soulfulness advocate, mom of three, and heart attack survivor before the age of 43. Through raw honesty and lived wisdom, Sarah shares the terrifying moment she realized she was having a heart attack with zero typical symptoms—and how that moment became a mirror reflecting years of self-neglect, chronic stress, and silent suffering. Together, they dive deep into the harsh realities of mom guilt, the societal pressure to be constantly “doing,” and the urgent need for real, accessible self-care. Sarah’s voice is a rallying cry for women everywhere: your well-being isn’t optional—it’s survival.This episode is a must-listen for moms, caretakers, and women in burnout cycles, especially those overlooking early signs of heart disease. Let this episode inspire a reset.
About the Guest – Sarah Wilson:Sarah Wilson is a wellness advocate, podcast host of Everything’s Messy, and a fierce voice for women’s health. A survivor of type 1 diabetes and a heart attack before 43, Sarah now helps others untangle the myths around self-care, guilt, and chronic illness. She’s the founder of Everything’s Messy Wellness, where she supports women in reclaiming their health through honest storytelling, breathwork, and practical rituals.
Key Takeaways :
Sarah ignored the red flags—constant fatigue, unmanaged stress, and dismissing her own needs—and it nearly cost her life.
Her heart attack came with no chest pain or classic symptoms—just fatigue. A common and dangerous scenario for many women.
She emphasizes that stress is not just emotional—it creates cellular damage that puts women's heart health at risk.
Sarah breaks the myth that self-care is selfish. She shares how she carved out non-negotiable 10-minute breaks, even naming them “Break Time” for her family to respect her need for rest.
Breathwork, ice plunges, silent moments, and simply saying “no” became her anchors in healing.
Her advice to others who feel overwhelmed: Start with one small step. Even a deep breath at a red light counts.
The silence around women’s heart health is deadly—1 in 2 women are at risk, yet most don’t recognize the signs until it’s too late.
Vulnerability and honesty—especially in the messy parts—became Sarah’s healing fuel and the foundation of her brand.

The Mindfulness Paradox: Trading Perfection for Presence with Florence Doisneau

What if your mindfulness practice is stressing you out more than it’s helping you? In this thought-provoking episode of The Soul Mirror, host Shreya is joined by Florence Doisneau, a self-realization coach and wellness guide, to unpack “The Mindfulness Paradox.” Together, they explore why the pursuit of peace can sometimes become just another pressure—and how to shift from performance to presence. From the myths around meditation to the deeper meaning of authenticity, Florence offers grounded insights to help listeners reconnect with their inner truth. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or feeling stuck in your routine, this episode is your invitation to slow down and come home to yourself.#MindfulnessMatters #SelfRealization #MentalWellness #SoulfulLiving #PodcastShow #AuthenticLiving #HealthyMindByAvik #MeditationTips #MindfulLiving #PresenceNotPerfection
About the Guest:Florence Doisneau is a self-realization coach with a foundation in yoga, mindfulness, and transformative coaching. Through her work and programs like The Realization Catalyst, she supports seekers in moving from overwhelm to inner alignment—helping them replace pressure with peace and discover deeper connection in community.
Key Takeaways:Florence Doisneau shares how mindfulness, when misunderstood, can become another form of self-judgment. She explains that many people quit meditation because they expect to quiet their minds instantly—when in fact, the practice is about observing thoughts, not erasing them. Florence highlights the importance of recognizing mindfulness as an umbrella term, much like "exercise," and aligning techniques with desired outcomes. She also discusses her personal experience of realizing her daily practice had become mechanical—and how that awareness led her back to true presence.
Florence defines self-realization as the unfolding of one’s true self through mindful presence, going beyond external development to reconnect with inner truth. In group work, she emphasizes the power of shared insight and how a well-held space can elevate everyone's growth. Authenticity, according to Florence, emerges when we drop distractions and tune into what’s real—moment by moment.
Importantly, Florence encourages listeners to stop treating mindfulness as a scheduled task. Instead, presence is available in every moment. This conversation is a powerful reminder that peace isn’t a goal to chase, but a space we can return to, again and again.

The Power of Digital Detox: Reclaiming Time, Energy & Focus with Colin Corby

In this episode of The Soul Mirror, host Shreya speaks with Colin Corby—CEO of Technology Wellbeing Ltd, endurance athlete, and creator of The Digital Detox Coach. With decades in the tech industry and the grit of a triathlete, Colin explores how our constant digital connection is silently draining resilience, productivity, and presence. He explains why digital detox is no longer a luxury but an essential reset for modern life. From personal stories of overcoming stress through fitness to actionable strategies for leaders, Colin shares how to reframe detox as empowerment—not sacrifice—and build the mindset of a “business athlete.”
This conversation offers practical wisdom for professionals, leaders, and anyone seeking balance in an always-online world.

A triathlete and Ironman finisher, Colin translates resilience from sport into strategies for navigating digital overload.

Key Takeaways
Digital detox is not rejection of tech but a habit “off switch” that creates balance.
True resilience is built like fitness—through consistent practice, patience, and mindset shifts.
Leaders must become “business athletes,” ensuring rest, recovery, and presence to perform at their best.
Multitasking is a myth; constant task-switching drains productivity and creates stress.
AI and automation offer convenience, but outsourcing too much thinking risks eroding critical skills.
Reflecting on personal digital habits and designing new rituals can transform both work and family life.
Digital detox becomes powerful when it supports something you love—family time, exercise, or creativity.

Undoing Resistance to Love's Presence: The Path to Embodied Healing with Greg Vorst and Michael of Embodied Recovery

In this powerful and intimate episode of The Soul Mirror, host Shreya sits down with Greg Vorst and Michael, co-founders of Embodied Recovery, to explore why we often resist the very thing we crave most—love. This conversation dives deep into the intersection of breath, trauma healing, shame, and embodied spirituality. Greg and Michael share grounded wisdom from years of guiding others through addiction, disconnection, and shame into radical presence and self-acceptance.
Listeners will learn why control, rigidity, and unworthiness block love—and how we can soften through ancient breath practices like Sundo, psychological repatterning, and daily presence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with inner resistance, toxic shame, or the feeling that they are too broken to be loved.
Perfect for seekers, healers, therapists, and anyone reclaiming wholeness.
About the GuestsGreg Vorst and Michael are the co-founders of Embodied Recovery and MELoS Center. Together, they offer trauma-informed somatic healing rooted in ancient Korean breathwork (Sundo), psychology, and spiritual presence. They work with individuals healing from addiction, mental health challenges, and deep emotional wounds—offering daily practices, monthly events, and workshops to guide people back home to themselves.
Key Takeaways :
Resistance to love often stems from unconscious fear, control, and inner rigidity. Love is always present, but we’re not always available to receive it.
Addiction and mental health challenges often signal disconnection not just from others—but from the self, the body, and breath.
Toxic shame convinces us we are unlovable; healing begins by gently revealing, not hiding, our inner experiences.
Embodied practices like Sundo teach us to breathe fully into our lower center (hara/dantien), shifting us out of mental loops and into presence.
The breath regulates the nervous system, opening access to parasympathetic states where love and safety can enter.
Letting go of perfection and achievement-based love is key to healing—love isn’t earned, it’s remembered.
Love might not show up the way we expect. Releasing expectations helps us notice the subtle, ever-present grace in everyday life.

Authenticity in connection can be mirrored through relationships with people, animals, and nature.

Breaking Free from the Inner and Outer Narcissist: Reclaiming Your Power with Emma Lyons

In this eye-opening episode of The Soul Mirror, host Shreya sits down with trauma-informed healer and founder of The Trauma Matrix, Emma Lyons, to uncover the deep and often hidden ways narcissistic dynamics impact our lives. Emma shares powerful insights on identifying the "inner narcissist"—that internalized, shaming voice that keeps us small—and how it mirrors the outer narcissistic dynamics we may experience in relationships, families, and workplaces.
Listeners will gain clarity on how to distinguish intuition from shame, why covert narcissism is so difficult to spot, and how shame fuels burnout, perfectionism, and disconnection. Emma also provides actionable steps for regaining autonomy, breaking toxic patterns, and reclaiming your power. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by self-criticism or trapped in unhealthy relationships, this conversation offers tools for true freedom and healing.
About the Guest:
Emma Lyons is a trauma-informed healer, psychic guide, and founder of The Trauma Matrix. With years of experience supporting high-achieving women, Emma helps people break free from internalized shame and external narcissistic dynamics. Her work focuses on creating shame-free living and empowering individuals to reclaim their voice and autonomy.
Key Takeaways:
The inner narcissist is the internalized, shaming voice we mistake for self-protection, but it is actually rooted in control and fear.
Intuition never shames—if the voice is shaming you, it is not your higher self.
Covert narcissists use victimhood and emotional manipulation to extract energy and control, making them harder to recognize than overt narcissists.
Shame fuels hustle culture and burnout, keeping people small and disconnected from their true power.
Creating distance (physically or emotionally) from narcissistic dynamics is the first step in reclaiming autonomy.
Becoming "shameless" is about freedom from shame, not bad behavior.
