    Waking Up to Presence: Somatic Healing Beyond Autopilot with Leslie Draffin
    15 Oct 2026
    What if being present isn’t about learning something new, but noticing what’s already happening inside you? On I Awaken, host Swati and former TV news anchor Leslie Draffin explore what it really means to wake up from autopilot.Leslie shares how a successful career hid years of anxiety and burnout, why awakening is a spiral rather than a straight climb, and how body-based practices, glimmers and the senses can bring you gently back to now.About the Guest:Leslie Draffin spent about 15 years as a television news anchor in the US. Based in Texas, she is now a trauma-informed somatic practitioner who helps high-achieving women reconnect with their bodies and feel more present.Key Takeaways:Awakening isn’t a straight climb; the ups and downs are part of it.Spotting a pattern is step one; changing it takes repetition.Doom scrolling and a flat “blah” feeling can be signs of autopilot.Play and creativity can restore you more than zoning out.Collect glimmers: small moments of wonder that prove progress.Presence isn’t constant calm; it’s openness to every feeling.Connect With Leslie Draffin:Website: https://www.lesliedraffin.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lesliedraffin/ TikTok: @lesliedraffin YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRakA_HiNPoVYEB_MYDEs3Q Podcast, The Light Within: https://www.lesliedraffin.com/podcast-the-light-withinEpisode Chapters (approx.):[00:00] Welcome to I Awaken: the quiet moment before the phone [01:30] Meet Leslie Draffin: a news anchor’s outer success and inner disconnection [05:00] Awakening Is a Spiral: why the down days are part of the path [08:00] Seeing Patterns vs Changing Them: repetition, intention and attention [11:00] Signs of Autopilot: doom scrolling, comfort shows and the flat blah [15:00] You Can’t Do Presence Wrong: dropping shame and finding your kind of rest [18:00] Glimmers and the Five Senses: evidence that it is working🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?Send me a direct message on PodMatch.👉 DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik🌱 About Healthy Mind By Avik™️Healthy Mind By Avik™️ Global Mental Wellness Podcast Network - focused, credible, no more identity clutter.👉 Subscribe and be part of this healing journey.Refer a GuestKnow someone who would be a great fit for one of our podcast shows?

    Awakening Your Inner Truth: Cheyenne Heflin on Living Beyond Survival
    10 Oct 2026
    What if awakening is not one bright moment, but a slow return to yourself? If you have been getting through your days without really being in them, this conversation is for you.On I Awaken, host Niharika talks with Cheyenne Heflin about life after cancer treatment, the difference between surviving and living, and why asking for help is strength. Expect small, honest practices for coming back to the present.About the Guest:Cheyenne Heflin went through cancer treatment when she was younger and adjusted to life with a disability. She shares her story so others feel less alone, and is completing a master’s in counselling to become a mental health counsellor.Key Takeaways:Awakening is not having every answer. It is trusting you can meet what comes.Asking for help is strength, not weakness.Survival is not living. Old ways of coping can keep you from being present.Return to something you once loved for five minutes a day.Journal without rules. Simply notice your day and how it felt.Connect With the Guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilient_akaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@resilient_akaEpisode Chapters:[00:00] Waking From Autopilot (approx.) - Awakening as a gradual opening[01:30] What Awakening Really Means (approx.) - Confidence that you will get there, not certainty[03:00] Sharing the Story (approx.) - Cancer treatment, disability, and training as a counsellor[06:00] The Myth of Doing It Alone (approx.) - Hyper-independence and the strength of asking for help[09:00] Survival Is Not Living (approx.) - When the walls that protected us start to hold us in[11:30] Five Minutes Back to Yourself (approx.) - Hobbies, stillness, and listening to the body[16:00] Journaling Without Rules (approx.) - A simple practice for staying close to your inner truth🎙️ Want to Be a Guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?Send me a direct message on PodMatch.👉 DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik🌱 About Healthy Mind By Avik™️Healthy Mind By Avik™️ Global Mental Wellness Podcast Network - focused, credible, no more identity clutter.👉 Subscribe and be part of this healing journey.Refer a GuestKnow someone who would be a great fit for one of our podcast shows?
