In this soul-stirring episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with Dr. Glenn Berger—psychotherapist, former sound engineer for legends like Dylan and Sinatra, and author of Never Say No to a Rock Star. Glenn unpacks what it means to lose your heart and how to find it again through self-cultivation, courage, and compassion. He explores the emotional cages we build, the toxic chase for perfection, and how true growth mirrors the slow nurturing of nature—not optimization. This is a deep dive into music, mental health, and the soulful pursuit of inner freedom.
About the Guest:
Dr. Glenn Berger is a seasoned psychotherapist and former music engineer who worked with iconic artists including Bob Dylan and Frank Sinatra. Now, he blends that creative insight with decades of therapeutic wisdom to help people recover their “lost heart.” He is the creator of the Heartfinders method and author of the memoir Never Say No to a Rock Star.
Key Takeaways:

Self-cultivation is a slow, intentional process—like tending to a plant, not forcing outcomes.
-
Shame is the primary emotional cage blocking human potential.
-
Social media comparison distorts self-worth and fuels impostor syndrome.
-
The real work of healing includes building courage, emotional strength, and compassion.
-

In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya is joined by Cristiano Colla—writer, poet, and spiritual storyteller—whose journey from personal trainer to purpose-driven creator began with a life-altering Ayahuasca experience. Together, they unpack the gritty truth of spiritual awakening, the role of humor in healing, and the tension between social media perfection and authentic self-expression. Cristiano shares how reconnecting with his body, embracing emotional messiness, and letting go of external validation transformed his identity and life purpose. If you’re standing at the edge of change but unsure how to leap, this conversation is the nudge you need.
About the Guest:
Cristiano Colla is a former fitness coach turned poetic soul, whose writing blends vulnerability, humor, and deep spiritual insight. After a powerful Ayahuasca retreat, he left behind the chase for perfection and leaned into the chaos of healing. He now uses storytelling to help others reconnect with their bodies, their truth, and their creative essence.
Key Takeaways:
-
True healing isn’t polished—it’s messy, emotional, and beautifully raw.
-
Humor softens the weight of transformation, making space for lightness in the darkest moments.
-
Social media often distorts authenticity—showing up with your full, imperfect self is the real power.
-
Integration means uniting body, mind, and spirit—not abandoning one for the other.
