Friday Aug 08, 2025

Friday Aug 08, 2025

In this powerful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya speaks with Bhupinder Sandhu, a corporate mindfulness coach and mental health advocate who has walked over 1,000 miles across the UK to raise awareness for mental well-being. Bhupinder shares how a personal mental health crisis inspired his first walk from London to Scotland and how each step brought him deeper into his own healing. From guiding 5,000+ individuals during the pandemic to challenging societal norms around success and productivity, this conversation explores the power of presence, resilience, and humanizing mental health.

About the Guest:
Bhupinder Sandhu is a UK-based mindfulness coach, speaker, and mental health advocate known for his long-distance walks to raise awareness. With experience coaching top corporates and supporting communities through COVID-19, he brings a grounded, compassionate voice to mental health advocacy. He emphasizes small, mindful steps over grand gestures—and embodies that with every mile he walks.

Key Takeaways:

  • Bhupinder’s journey began after a personal family crisis, proving that real-life challenges often deepen professional purpose.

  • Walking became his form of activism—a reflection of how movement can offer healing and awareness.

  • During COVID-19, he transitioned from one-on-one support to group sessions, helping over 5,000 people cope with anxiety and uncertainty.

  • Bhupinder explains that mindfulness starts simply—with one breath, one thought, one moment.

  • Leaders must recognize the economic and human cost of unaddressed mental health in the workplace.

  • Rural and urban responses to mental health differ—awareness is still lacking in smaller communities.

  • His go-to practice? Deep belly breathing—simple, free, and transformative.

Sunday Aug 03, 2025

Sunday Aug 03, 2025

In this powerful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya welcomes Kerry Blaser—mother, shaman, and author of My Inner Heroine—to explore the alchemy of feminine pain into personal power. Kerry shares how owning her trauma and rewriting her story helped her reclaim self-worth, break generational patterns, and discover the sacred wisdom within. Through shamanic healing, trauma work, and unapologetic truth-telling, she guides women to embrace their feminine essence not as weakness, but as a source of deep strength and connection.

From surviving a suicide attempt to negotiating a film adaptation of her book, Kerry reminds us that healing isn’t about comfort—it’s about courage, confrontation, and choosing to fall apart with purpose.

About the Guest:

Kerry Blaser is a trauma-informed healer, mother, and shamanic practitioner. Her book My Inner Heroine is both a memoir and a call to reclaim feminine wisdom in a culture that often silences it. Drawing from psychology, spirituality, and shamanism, she helps women transmute pain into healing and embody their inner heroine.

Key Takeaways:

  • Feminine pain is not weakness—it’s repressed wisdom waiting to be honored.

  • Healing begins when we stop blaming others and start owning our inner landscape.

  • Shamanism and trauma therapy complement each other by addressing the soul and psyche.

  • Relationships act as mirrors, revealing our deepest wounds and potential for growth.

  • Falling apart with intention creates the momentum for transformation and enlightenment.

From Rock Stars to Real Souls: Dr. Glenn Berger on Healing, Shame & the Lost Heart

Monday Jul 21, 2025

Monday Jul 21, 2025

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.

  • Inner freedom comes from listening to the heart, not the voice of internal tyrants or external validation.
