Shownotes

What if the life you call “normal” is actually survival in disguise? In Inner Light, hosted by Shreya, this conversation with Dr. Rochelle Vogt explores why so many of us feel stuck despite doing everything “right.”

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, overthinking, or quietly exhausted. You’ll discover how your nervous system shapes your reactions, why mindset alone isn’t enough, and how to move toward a calmer, more creative way of living—without forcing or reliving pain.

About the Guest:

Dr. Rochelle Vogt, Ph.D., is a mindfulness researcher and trauma resolution specialist. She integrates neuroscience, somatic awareness, and nervous system work to help people shift deep-rooted patterns.
