What if the “off” feeling isn’t something to fix, but something to listen to? In Mind Over Matter, hosted by Shreya, we explore how balance can return when we stop forcing our way out of anxiety, exhaustion, and inner noise.

This episode is for anyone feeling drained, disconnected, or stuck in mental loops. Herman Petrick shares how energetic overwhelm can show up as low vitality, restless sleep, and heavy emotional patterns—and why gentle practices like stillness, breath, and self-prioritization can help you come back to yourself.
