You Don't Have to Grow Old to Grow Wise | Jamie Naegele | A Wise and Happy Life

Who Are You, Really? Identity, Happiness & Rewriting Your Inner Story | Jamie Naegele | A Wise and Happy Life
In this profound and thought-provoking episode of A Wise and Happy Life, host Bob Martin sits down with Jamie Naegele—actor, identity coach, author of Who Are You? The Art of Being Yourself in a World That Doesn’t Want You To, and founder of Identity Mastery.
Jamie shares his unconventional journey from a lucrative engineering career to acting, coaching, and helping others reconnect with their authentic selves. Together, Bob and Jamie explore how identity shapes happiness, why flexibility is not the same as losing yourself, and how self-awareness allows us to “wear different hats” without compromising who we truly are.
The conversation dives deep into Jamie’s three-bucket framework for happiness—self-image, relationships, and wealth—and how cultural conditioning, negative self-talk, and technology-driven dopamine depletion have quietly eroded joy, confidence, and fulfillment across generations.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and begin rewriting the internal narratives that dictate how you see yourself—and how you live your life.
🔍 HIGHLIGHTS:
🧠 The Three Buckets of Happiness: Why self-love, healthy relationships, and meaningful work must be aligned—and why money alone never creates fulfillment.
🪞 Rewriting Negative Self-Beliefs: Jamie breaks down the three core insecurities most people carry (“I’m not attractive,” “I’m not intelligent,” “I’m not enough”) and how rewriting those stories can completely change your life.
📱 Dopamine, Technology & Mental Health: A candid look at how constant stimulation, smartphones, and instant gratification are depleting motivation, focus, and joy—especially for younger generations.
🌱 Expanding Your Comfort Zone: Why happiness requires building a tolerance for discomfort—and how facing small fears consistently leads to confidence, freedom, and growth.
"Your level of happiness is directly related to how you view yourself, the quality of your relationships, and how you make your money." — Jamie Naegele
If you’ve ever questioned who you are, felt stuck in negative self-talk, or wondered whether happiness is truly possible for you, this episode offers clarity and hope. Subscribe to A Wise and Happy Life, share this conversation with someone who needs it, and start taking small, intentional steps toward a life built on self-awareness, courage, and joy.

Living With a Perfect Memory: Healing Trauma, Thoughts & Emotions | Frank Healy | A Wise and Happy Life

In this fascinating and deeply thoughtful episode of A Wise and Happy Life, host Bob Martin welcomes Frank Healy—licensed therapist, life coach, and author—who possesses an extraordinarily rare ability: autobiographical perfect memory. Frank remembers nearly every day of his life, including the emotions, weather, conversations, and events attached to those memories.
Frank shares how he first discovered this gift at age five, how it shaped his emotional world, and why remembering everything is both a blessing and a burden. From recalling childhood movie outings to reliving painful professional setbacks decades later, Frank explains why memory itself isn’t the problem—the emotional charge attached to memory is.
Together, Bob and Frank explore powerful concepts around cognitive therapy, mindfulness, emotional regulation, somatic healing, and the importance of choosing which thoughts deserve “airtime.” This episode offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking to release emotional pain, reclaim balance, and live more freely—regardless of how strong your memory may be.
🔍 HIGHLIGHTS:
🧠 What It’s Like to Remember Everything: Frank explains how his autobiographical memory works, how emotions surface with each recall, and why memory without emotional mastery can feel overwhelming.
🌱 Healing Without Reliving Trauma: Why acknowledging emotions—without drowning in them—is key to healing, and how techniques like mindfulness, NLP, EFT tapping, and somatic therapy help clients release pain safely.
📰 Choosing What Gets Airtime: A powerful metaphor comparing thoughts to newspaper headlines—Frank and Bob discuss how we can consciously decide which thoughts dominate our mental front page.
📚 From Memory to Meaningful Work: Frank shares insights from his books, including Heal Your Memories, Happy Every Day, and Somatic Therapy for Beginners, all designed to help people live with emotional clarity and balance.
"You can’t always control what thought pops up—but you can control how much airtime you give it." — Frank Healy
If you’ve ever felt trapped by old memories, emotional reactions, or mental narratives that no longer serve you, this episode is essential listening. Tune in to hear how awareness, balance, and intentional thinking can transform your inner world—and help you live a wiser, happier life.

Amita shares her deeply personal journey—beginning with childhood illness, unexplained fatigue in her 30s, and the onset of perimenopause in her 40s—that led her to seek answers beyond traditional medicine. This quest eventually inspired her to interview hundreds of global experts and to build a platform designed to make holistic wellness accessible for women everywhere.

🌿 Ayurveda Starts With You: Amita explains the foundational concepts—doshas, digestion (Agni), toxin buildup (Ama), and the importance of understanding your unique mind-body constitution.
🕊️ Practical Tools for Daily Balance: From warm morning teas and tongue scraping to breathwork, oil massage, and seasonal cleansing, Amita details everyday habits that regulate digestion, reduce stress, and restore inner harmony.
📱 How NourishDoc Makes Wellness Accessible: Amita reveals the inspiration behind her women’s wellness app, built to support symptoms like sleep issues, stress, gut health, and perimenopause—offering self-care programs, group coaching, and expert-guided options.

Self-Care Isn’t Selfish | Jenny Lytle, RN | A Wise and Happy Life

In this heartfelt episode of A Wise and Happy Life, host Bob Martin sits down with Jenny Lytle, RN—hospice nurse, author of Self-Care Isn’t Selfish, and creator of The Nurse’s Breakroom podcast. Jenny opens up about her 31-year nursing career, her journey through burnout, the sudden loss of her mother, and how those experiences shaped her lifelong mission to help caregivers protect their energy, their identity, and their well-being.
From the oxygen-mask metaphor to the “salt-water pool” approach to daily care, Jenny and Bob explore why so many helpers forget to help themselves—and what simple, doable steps can rebuild balance, clarity, and compassion.
Whether you’re a parent, professional caregiver, or someone who simply gives more than you get, this conversation is a grounding reminder: your needs matter, and taking care of yourself makes you better for everyone else.
🔍 Highlights:
🌿 Burnout, Loss & Rediscovery: Jenny shares how years of caregiving—and the unexpected passing of her mother—forced her to confront her own depletion and rethink what healthy service really looks like.
🧘‍♀️ Self-Care in Small Doses: Forget the spa days—Jenny explains why self-care must begin with tiny, consistent moments: breathing breaks, unplugging, sleep, nature, and understanding your own recharging blueprint.
🛑 Permission to Pause: Why saying “no,” setting boundaries, and even scheduling “blocked time” on your own calendar matters—especially for caregivers who never stop giving.
"If I'm taking care of myself, that doesn't automatically mean I'm neglecting everybody else… it helps me show up better for other people." — Jenny Lytle
 
If you’ve ever felt drained, overwhelmed, or guilty for wanting a moment to yourself, this episode is for you. Listen in, share it with someone who gives endlessly, and remember: self-care is not selfish—it's essential.
