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.
