What if “sparkle” isn’t a trend—but a missing ingredient in real well-being? In this episode, we explore how awe, beauty, and meaningful connection can restore a sense of aliveness, especially after burnout, grief, or disconnection.

Hosted by Sana on The Mindful Journey podcast, this conversation is for anyone tired of wellness advice that feels mechanical. Guest Hayley Hunter Hines shares how her decades in corporate wellness led her to create the Sparkle Framework—an evolution of holistic health that includes wonder, nervous-system regulation, and the courage to live your own calling.

Hayley Hunter Hines is a wellness futurist and founder of Soul Sparkle Living. She spent over three decades in holistic health and corporate wellness and created the Sparkle Framework to expand how we define well-being.

• Well-being expanded over time: body → mind → social connection → spiritual practice → “sparkle.”

• Prioritize healthy connection—proximity and relationships help regulate the nervous system.

• Notice what reliably shifts your state: nature, stillness, prayer, meditation, or water.

• Use simple self-inquiry: “Am I where I need to be right now?” “What’s the next step?”

• Follow “breadcrumbs” instead of needing a full 6–12 month plan.

In this deeply grounding and expansive conversation on The Mindful Journey, we explore what intuition really looks like beyond clichés like “trust your gut.” Host Sana sits down with Michelle Lundstrom to unpack intuition as a lived, embodied experience—one that shows up through nature, the nervous system, and subtle everyday moments. From regulating energy after near-miss encounters to distinguishing intuition from fear or habit, this episode brings intuition down from the mystical clouds and into daily life. Michelle also shares how a life-altering lightning strike in 2019 amplified her intuitive and energetic abilities, reshaping her healing work and connection to the natural world. This episode invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and build a personal, grounded relationship with intuition—without needing to believe in anything blindly.

About the Guest: Michelle Lundstrom is a former mental health therapist, healer, and intuitive practitioner trained across multiple modalities including shamanic practices, chakra work, and intuitive arts. With a lifelong connection to animals and nature, her work bridges psychology, spirituality, and embodied healing. Her lived experiences—including surviving a lightning strike—inform her grounded yet expansive approach to intuition.

Key Takeaways: Intuition strengthens with presence and practice Nature and the body are powerful intuitive messengers Intuition doesn’t need to be mystical to be meaningful Skepticism and intuition can coexist Healing happens when we listen, not rush

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with Sharon Ann Rose to explore what burnout really signals when life still looks “fine” from the outside. They unpack why burnout can be a loss of inner fire, why grief can come from outgrowing an identity, and how transitions can be sacred thresholds instead of problems to fix.

This conversation is for anyone feeling emotionally tired, quietly disoriented, or unsure who they are becoming, especially women navigating caregiving, career shifts, and changing roles. You will walk away with a calmer, more grounded way to approach change with patience, community, and self-respect.

Sharon Ann Rose is a ceremonialist, author, and guide who supports women through burnout, grief, and life transitions. She is the author of Faces of the Mother and draws on feminine wisdom traditions, archetypal psychology, and ritual.

• Treat burnout as a signal to return to what truly warms and fuels you, not a personal failure

• Steady your “inner fire” so you can give fully without running on stress and adrenaline

• Name the grief of outgrowing roles, identities, or relationships, even without a single clear event

• Honor the season you are leaving so you can step into the next one with less fear and resentment

• Move at a nature-paced rhythm: slow, regulated, and compassionate, especially when emotions are raw

• Healing works better with support and community, not isolation

Most people treat consciousness as an abstract idea. In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Yusuf sits down with Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. to explore consciousness as a lived experience shaped by burnout, health challenges, and recovery. You will hear why “knowing” is not the same as “experiencing,” and how awareness can expand through intentional practice.

This conversation is for anyone feeling disconnected, questioning identity, or trying to lead and live with more clarity in a demanding world. Dr. Locust shares how fasting, meditation, and mind body spirit integration can unlock deeper fields of awareness and a more grounded sense of meaning.

Dr. Jonathan Locust Jr. is the founder of ConsiRise. He has worked as a graduate professor, researcher, and former vice president of inclusive excellence, and he blends academic thinking with lived spiritual exploration.

• Consciousness is often oversimplified because most people never learn it experientially

• Mind, body, and spirit work as one system, growth in one area alone creates blind spots

• Practices like meditation can expand “fields of awareness,” not just calm the mind

• A long fast can reveal how intention and willpower shape the body and perception

• Connection to nature can become a real-time anchor when energy drops or doubt rises

• Try a grounding visualization: connect your spine to the Earth, release heavy emotions, receive steadier energy

In this episode of The Mindful Journey, host Sana sits down with holistic wellness coach and author Kerisma Vere to reframe gratitude into something deeper and more realistic: self-gratitude. Instead of forcing positivity, this conversation explores how self-gratitude can become a grounded way to build self-trust, self-attunement, and emotional steadiness.

This episode is for anyone feeling anxious, burnt out, or stuck in self-criticism, especially when traditional “just be grateful” advice feels dismissive. You will learn how to practice self-gratitude without turning it into another task, and how to stay compassionate without bypassing real pain.

Kerisma Vere is a holistic wellness coach and author who supports people through complex, real-life change using a trauma-informed, non-prescriptive approach. She also created a self-gratitude journal and is launching a course called From Pressure to Path.

• Self-gratitude is honest recognition, not forced positivity or “good vibes only.”

• Notice your inner critic first, then create a small pause to choose a kinder response.

• Regulation works better when you meet yourself where you are, not who you “should” be.

• Sustainable change comes from support and compassion, not pressure, shame, or perfectionism.

• Gratitude can feel unsafe in grief or depression; start with validation, then offer gentle perspective.

• Use quick prompts or bullet notes to retrain your brain to see your effort, not only your flaws.

This conversation is for anyone who feels curious but skeptical, and wants to know where intuition ends and personal responsibility begins.

You will hear how energy tools can support clarity, boundaries, and decision-making without becoming an excuse, a label, or an escape from reality. If you want a practical way to explore these modalities without forcing belief, this episode will help.

Scarlett Seebach is a human design reader, Reiki master, certified crystal healer, and the creator of Astral Reiki. She focuses on energetic transformation that translates into choices, boundaries, and daily behavior.

• Treat human design as a tool for optimal functioning, not a personality label or limitation.

• Choose the modality that genuinely fits you, crystals are optional and skepticism is fair.

• Prioritize validation and real outcomes when working with invisible or subtle practices.
