Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

🎙️ Hi, I’m Maria Angelova, and welcome back to the Mind Body Podcast!
In this solo episode, I dive into the powerful (and often misunderstood) topic of control. As a recovering control freak myself, I explore how trying to control everything people, situations, even our own bodies creates unnecessary stress and tension. And how letting go, softening, and surrendering is actually the path to true strength and inner power.
You’ll hear how the way we move often reflects how we live and how tuning into your body can change your life.

- Why control is a protective mechanism—but not always a helpful one
- How your movement patterns reveal your emotional state
- The power of surrender and what it really means
- Reclaiming mobility, softness, and ease in your body and life

💡 Key Takeaways:
- Awareness is the first step to change
- Control is often rooted in fear—let curiosity lead instead
- Your body gives you constant feedback—listen
- Movement should feel good—not like punishment

Episode 102: Breathwork & Inner Peace - The Healing Couple

Thu, 23 May 2024 09:00:00 -0400

In this episode of the "Mind Body Podcast," host Maria welcomes Dr. Cory Ostroot and Jessica Waala, known as the Healing Couple, who specialize in breathwork. The episode begins with Maria and her guests discussing the sunny weather in San Diego compared to the rainy day in Atlanta. Cory and Jessica then describe each other with three words: Jessica calls Cory rebellious, inquisitive, and consistent, while Cory describes Jessica as a performer, kind, and creative.

The conversation delves into the concept of breathwork, an umbrella term for various breathing techniques. Cory and Jessica explain the different types, including ancient practices like pranayama, physiological breathing like Wim Hof’s method, and their own trademarked reset breath method, which aims for deep emotional and spiritual healing.

They emphasize the importance of being aware of one's breath as a mirror for life and how it influences emotional and physical well-being. Jessica shares a personal story about discovering true happiness through breathwork. The couple offers a practical exercise called box breathing, a technique used by Navy SEALs to maintain calm and focus.

The podcast closes with Cory and Jessica defining rebellion as following one's truth and standing against silent suffering, thereby empowering others to do the same. They invite listeners to connect with them on Instagram and explore their monthly breathwork workshops for deeper healing.

Bio:

Dr. Cory Ostroot and Jessica Waala are master Breathwork facilitators and teacher trainers. As The Healing Couple, they lead soul-changing experiences to help go-getters release overwhelm and unlock ultimate freedom and success from the inside out. You can count on them for a down-to-earth approach to personal growth, to guide you to the deepest depths within, and to empower you to take real action and radically transform.

As a Naturopathic Physician and Yoga Teacher, they’ve traveled the world and experienced everything from plant medicine, talk therapy, yoga, personal development seminars, shamanic journeys, silent meditation retreats… you name it. But nothing came close to Breathwork for long-lasting transformation.

Through breath, they’ve transmuted years of anxiety, burnout, and depression into deep inner peace, abundance in life and business, and true happiness.

Today, Cory has stepped away as a full-time Physician and together, they’ve supported tens of thousands of humans all over the globe through their events, programs, and coaching and are known as the go-to secret weapon for many entrepreneurs and leaders. They are also founders of RESET Breathwork and train others to become facilitators through their certification program. Their mission is to impact millions of lives, and they believe that together we can heal the world, and it starts with your breath.

Pearl highlights her personal healing journey through burlesque, explaining how it helped her reclaim her body and narrative, especially from traumatic past experiences.

Pearl also delves into the concept of "healing through seduction," a method she developed to encourage individuals to find self-love and redefine their relationship with their own bodies. She stresses the importance of self-seduction, urging listeners to embrace their physical changes and imperfections as part of their identity, rather than seeking external validation.

Throughout the interview, Pearl and Maria discuss the misconceptions surrounding seduction and burlesque, advocating for a deeper understanding and appreciation of these as tools for personal empowerment and self-acceptance. Pearl's message is clear: true seduction is about feeling safe and authentic with oneself, transforming self-perception and embracing one's full potential without judgment.

Welcome, rebels! Join me, your host Maria, on the Mind Body podcast, the rebellious show that's all about cultivating a strong body, a calm mind, and living life to the fullest. Today, we have an extraordinary guest, Victoria Kirilloff, the founder of Wealth Analytics. Victoria is not just an entrepreneur but someone who embodies success and fun. Today, she shares her wisdom with us, delving into her journey, values, and insights.

Key Takeaways:

Confidence, Intelligence, and Hustle: Victoria defines herself with these three words. Her confidence stems from her father's wisdom, emphasizing the power of intelligence to outthink challenges. Her father, a Russian nuclear engineer, imparted the importance of numerical communication early on.

Intelligence and Numerical Communication: Victoria's intelligence was honed by her father, who stressed expressing ideas in numbers. She shares how her early experience of convincing her parents to buy her a horse showcased the power of numerical communication.

Hustle and Taking Action: Victoria believes in the importance of taking action. She emphasizes that actions speak louder than words, and real accomplishments come from actively pursuing your goals.

The Impact of Stress on Decision-Making: Victoria discusses the effects of stress on decision-making, emphasizing that during major life transitions like divorce, decision fatigue can lead to detrimental choices. Building awareness and engaging in self-care can mitigate these challenges.

Financial Clarity in Divorce: As a divorce negotiator, Victoria sheds light on the financial aspects of divorce. She urges individuals to be mindful of their financial habits, especially during high-stress situations, to avoid long-term consequences.

Self-Care and Nervous System Regulation: Victoria advocates for self-care routines, highlighting the role of breathwork in regulating the nervous system. She stresses the importance of shifting from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system for sound decision-making.

Viewing Divorce as a Period of Rebirth: Victoria challenges the negative perception of divorce and encourages viewing it as a period of rebirth. She shares her belief that navigating through divorce empowers individuals to expand and become their truest selves.

The Power of Rebellion: For Victoria, rebelliousness is about staying true to oneself in the face of adversity, not backing down, and embracing one's truest self regardless of external circumstances.

BIO

Victoria Kirilloff, CDFA®, NCPM®, CDS® was at a crossroads; she could not stay married but did not know how to leave and the relationship was getting more and more abusive. Victoria’s decade-long partnership had far exceeded its expiration date, but they were deeply financially entwined. Searching for a pathway to freedom, Victoria returned to her roots of financial analysis and report writing (which is how she got her first horse). Victoria created the first Divorce Impact Analysis report which laid out the marital financial facts and different settlement ideas. After a shockingly productive conversation, Victoria and her former partner came to a resolution and peacefully separated. That’s when a lightbulb went off in Victoria’s head! Victoria realized that she could not only help others leave their timed-out marriages but also guide them to becoming financially empowered in the process.

Determined to bring a modern peaceful approach to the divorce process, Victoria founded Divorce Analytics. Divorce Analytics focuses on bringing financial clarity and transparency to the divorce process and illustrates the real-world impact of proposed settlements. By concentrating on the financial facts, Victoria shifts the divorce process from destructive to productive. Victoria recently released a 9-part Divorce Planning Kit and more information can be found at DivorceAnalytics.com/shop.

Thu, 03 Aug 2023 00:00:00 -0400

Life opened the window to her purpose when her second-born child was diagnosed with pervasive developmental delays. A moment of conviction changed the trajectory of her life. Without a plan and guided by her gut, she resigned her job and committed to daily work with her son. The long hours of studying, researching and building upon her background skills along with finding expert mentors resulted in the creation of an internationally renowned private school–Jacob’s Ladder-offering effective and comprehensive care to those with neurodevelopmental disorders and delays. Tune in to my heartfelt and inspirational conversation with healthcare innovator and a ray-of-hope for many, Amy O’Dell.

When Amy’s son, Jacob, was diagnosed as an infant with extensive developmental delays and doctors offered little guidance to help him thrive, she built upon her therapy and counseling background to extensively study neurological development and related interventions. Finding her passion through dedicated purpose, Amy has spent the past three decades becoming a leading innovator and global authority on special needs education and neurobiology. Her development of the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of CareTM (IWBMC) and its delivery has effectively transformed the standard of care in neuroscience today, positively changing the lives of more than 4,000 children with neurological disorders. Amy holds a degree in Activity Therapy and a master’s degree in counseling from Clemson University. She is a licensed Professional Counselor with extensive training in the Neurodevelopmental process. She has worked in a wide variety of clinical settings, including Shepherd Spinal Center in Atlanta, and later at Woodridge Psychiatric Hospital in Clayton, Georgia, where she held the position of Director of Adolescent Psychiatric Services.

Bio:

“I was told by a mentor and teacher that there are two types of artists; natural and learned. It has taken me a lifetime to learn that I am a natural artist. The kind that picks up things and thinks, "I wonder what this will do."I mix my own paints and add different additives or mediums to create different viscosity and pour it onto the canvas. I use a blow torch, forks, straws, paint brushes, fingers...whatever is handy. I'm intrigued by what materials do when they organically repel instead of blend.

Most often my visual inspiration comes from astronomy images of distant galaxies and solar systems or nature; organic images like glaciers, forests, and oceans that make you look deeper and try to make sense of its beauty. Music also inspires me to be creative. It can put me in a mood that I associate with colors. Deep, vibrant colors are full of passion and molten emotion. I like my pieces to have texture and movement. I also like my artwork to have complexities that take you years to see yet a moment to feel.”

BIO:
I grew up in small town of Nichols, SC, about an hour from Myrtle Beach. I spent many days riding bikes or fishing with my dad in the rivers and ponds in the area (hence the name Riverbend).

My dad would watch the stock market when he came home from work. I was curious and started asking questions. This inspired me to make my first investment before I was 12 years old.

I went to College of Charleston, where I focused my studies in biology, chemistry, and
business. After graduating in 1996, I was fortunate to be hired as a financial advisor.

I married way above myself, when Iren said “I do” in 2001. In 2004, we were blessed with Elliott, our only child, who’s an avid tennis player and hopes to play college tennis like his mom.

I was the assistant coach of the Myrtle Beach High School tennis team, when in 2019,
after the passing of our legendary head coach Rivers Lynch, I became interim head
coach. The Myrtle Beach Seahawks rallied in the playoffs and won the state
championship. It was such as honor to see these young men play so inspired, for a
man who was known simply by the name, Coach.

Our family enjoys traveling. We travel to Iren’s home country of Bulgaria once a year. Elliott is fluent in Bulgarian. Me? Not so much.

Episode 30: Path of a Recovering Lawyer with Isaac Emmanuel

Thu, 25 May 2023 11:00:00 -0400

You go to law school. You spend years studying. You pay a lot of money. You graduate. You get a job in a law firm. That does not cut it for you. You decide it is because you want to be your own boss.

You start your own law firm. It’s exhilarating. 6 months later, you are flat out of passion fuel yet again. Something does not feel right. Then your wife makes a simple yet earth-shattering statement: ‘I don’t think you like being a lawyer.’

Now what?

Meet Isaac Emmanuel, a 35-year-old, self-proclaimed ‘recovering lawyer’ who chose to follow his instinct, leaped into the unknown, and landed in a place he did not expect.

Fulfilled and excited, Isaac shares his real-life inspirational story of trust, commitment to change, and personal growth–all taking him to a leadership role in building a family empire in the healthcare industry.

About Isaac

In his own words: “I am a “recovering attorney” who now enjoys starting and building businesses. Born and raised in New Mexico, I did my undergrad at Tufts University in Boston and then returned to NM to study business and law at the University of New Mexico. After obtaining my JD/MBA, I practiced in New Mexico for about 5 years, but I found my career choice very depressing and unfulfilling. The only real fun I had was starting my own law firm–I loved the process of planning, designing, and running a small entrepreneurial-style business. My wife encouraged me to “jump with both feet” for something better, even if it meant a difficult transition for both of us. I eventually listened. It has not been an easy journey, but we now live in Georgia and I am in the business of healthcare–I currently manage the operations of a doctor-owned dietary supplement company, and I also serve as a transition consultant for doctors moving to the “concierge” primary care model. I like what I do much more now.

I met Maria at the annual Concierge Medicine Conference and am now one of her Pilates students!
