  • TMB83 - Dr. Mala - Somatic Truth: Ancient Practices for Modern Wounds
    Aug 13 2025

    Dr. Mala

    No one ever steps into the same river twice. Our lives change, but some moments ripple through us forever. In this deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Mala, we explore the many faces of trauma—childhood wounds, cultural silence, military service, intergenerational grief—and the surprising ways they can still serve us in the present.

    From evolutionary psychology’s take on hypervigilance, to the spiritual and biological truths behind inherited pain, Dr. Mala shows how survival responses can be reframed into pathways for post-traumatic growth. We dive into her “Four A’s” method, the five common pathways of healing, and the embodied practices—like rehabilitative martial arts and henna art—that reconnect us to our own strength.

    We talk about what it means to break cycles without rejecting our roots, how speaking truth aloud can literally change the body, and why rituals from drumming circles to mindful breath work still heal us in a high-tech world. And we go all the way to life’s edge—discussing how imagining your ideal death can help you live more fully now.

    Whether you’ve carried your own storms or inherited the rains of your ancestors, this episode is an invitation to not just survive, but to recover into yourself.

    Dr. Malasri Chaudhery-Malgeri

  • TMB82 – Kerie Logan – Courage & Compassion: Consciousness Beyond Fear
    Aug 12 2025

    The Undetected Narcissist

    In this episode, I sit down with Kerie Logan—hypnotherapist, teacher of human consciousness, and author of The Undetected Narcissist—for a deep, living conversation about breaking free from old pain and stepping into the higher rooms of human awareness. Kerie shares her own transformational journey from personal crisis to life-changing work, revealing how we can release generational trauma, reframe our pain stories, and shift from fear-based living to love-based consciousness. We explore the differences between 3D, 4D, and 5D states of being, and how courage, forgiveness, and compassion can literally change the frequency of your life. Whether you’re navigating toxic relationships, searching for meaning, or simply curious about what’s possible when you stop feeding the seeds of anger, this conversation offers a grounded map for spiritual evolution—without losing sight of the practical steps it takes to get there.

  • TMB81 - Brian Sachetta - Get Out of Your Head: Evolution, Panic, & Emotional Freedom
    Aug 11 2025

    Get Out of Your Head

    In this episode of The Mental Breakthrough (TMB81), I sit down with Brian Sachetta, author of the Get Out of Your Head series, to explore how our brains—still wired for survival on the African savanna—struggle to navigate modern life. We unpack the evolutionary roots of anxiety, how our ancient threat detection systems misfire in today’s world, and what it really means to “get out of your head.”

    Brian shares two pivotal panic attack experiences from his teens that shaped his understanding of fear and inspired his work in mental health. We dive into the difference between resisting emotions and allowing them to pass, how exposure therapy can rewire anxious patterns, and why honest conversations can radically shift anxiety in relationships.

    Whether your anxiety shows up before a big date, a public speech, or an important meeting, this conversation blends neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and practical wisdom to help you live alongside your mind—more wisely and more freely.
