Before You Burn Out: A Healing Conversat...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Are you treating your body like a project to fix, or a vessel to honor?

Could the root of your illness be emotional, not physical?

What if slowing down was the boldest healing move you could make?

How do you build a healing ritual—when life won’t slow down?

Is your nervous system stuck in survival mode?

 

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with nutritionist and Ayurvedic wellness coach Mona Sharma, her go-to expert for health and healing. But this conversation isn’t just about what to eat — it’s about what your body is trying to say.

 

Mona shares how her journey from burnout and heart surgeries in the corporate beauty world led her back to her roots in Ayurveda — and how it completely transformed her health. They dive into the emotional roots of illness, the overlooked wisdom of ancient rituals, and how to build a healing practice in your everyday life, no matter where you are.

 

You’ll also hear about Mona’s philosophy that symptoms are not just random — they’re messages. And by listening with compassion, you can become your own greatest healer.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why your anxiety, burnout, and fatigue aren’t just “in your head”
  • How trauma and suppressed emotions show up as real physical illness
  • Mona’s healing practices from her time at an ashram — and how to build your own at home
  • Why the vagus nerve is the key to calming your nervous system
  • How to use food as medicine, without obsessing over diets
  • The energy of emotions and how to raise your inner frequency
  • Why common symptoms like bloating, eczema, and worry are not normal
  • How to honor your body as a sacred vessel — not a project to be fixed
  • The difference between habits and healing rituals
  • Tests and tools to understand your unique body and rebalance it holistically

 

Whether you're experiencing health challenges or just feeling disconnected, this episode reminds you that healing is not just physical — it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal.
