So many of us think healing mostly comes from outside—someone else fixing us, saving us, telling us what to do.

But what if part of healing is something you cultivate from within?

This clip from Pause To Elevate With Dr. Kasim Al-Mashat podcast, my guest Farhad Khan, shares how your thoughts, your daily practices, the way you breathe, move, or connect with nature all can play a role in healing. Even with depression, anxiety, ADHD, or OCD, you can build a toolbox that brings you peace and regulation.

This is about empowerment, not perfection—discovering what soothes your mind, your energy, and your heart 💓

What if postponing a healthy habit change is risky!💓

Waiting until things fall apart makes healing harder. Preventative self-care, and use of mindfulness and breathwork can support nervous system regulation. Small daily practices make a big difference.

This clip was part of a conversation with Stefanie Broes, co-founder and CEO of moonbird, a popular handheld breathing device that guides users in calming slow breaths for stress relief and better sleep.

Have you struggled with sleep or stress lately?😴 😮‍💨

So many of us are walking around with overstimulated nervous systems—struggling to sleep, carrying stress in our bodies, and wondering why it feels so hard to truly unwind.

In this episode of Pause to Elevate With Dr. Kasim Al-Mashat, I share a conversation with Stefanie Broes, co-founder and CEO of Moonbird, to explore how something we do every moment of our lives—breathing—can become a powerful tool for regulation, resilience, and rest.

Stephanie shares her personal journey from PhD research in pharmaceutical sciences to navigating severe insomnia and stress, and how discovering breathwork changed everything. We explore how slowing the breath can act like a “remote control” for calming the body.
