Aly is the author of Out of Focus: Why Gen Z’s Mental Health Crisis is More Complex Than You Think and is currently producing the documentary series Crisis Generation. Episode Summary Mental health struggles are often treated as individual problems, but Aly argues that society-wide issues like healthcare access, economic instability, and social disconnection play a major role.

29:17

In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Paul Wilson, a coach and mental health advocate specializing in helping high-net-worth entrepreneurs break free from procrastination, overwhelm, and perfectionism. Paul challenges the idea of self-sabotage, explaining why it's a myth and how our minds are actually working for us—not against us. We discuss how fear, judgment, and past experiences shape our actions, why decision-making is the key to overcoming procrastination, and why retirement, as we know it, is broken. Paul also shares actionable strategies to move past overthinking, start taking bold steps, and truly get out of your own way. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, this episode is a game-changer! About the Guest: Paul Wilson is a coach, mental health expert, and a conversational hypnosis practitioner who helps entrepreneurs break free from self-imposed limitations. He has a no-nonsense approach to personal growth and success, combining neuroscience, life experience, and deep insights into the mind. Fun fact—he's also hitchhiked across Europe, which has taught him incredible lessons about trust, uncertainty, and resilience. Key Takeaways: ✅ Self-sabotage isn’t real – Your brain is designed to protect you, not work against you. ✅ Fear is behind procrastination – It’s not laziness; it’s about avoiding discomfort. ✅ Make decisions faster – Sitting on the fence creates stress; choose a direction and adjust as needed. ✅ Retirement should be a transition, not an end – Business owners fear losing their identity, but mentoring and consulting offer new opportunities. ✅ Overthinking is the biggest roadblock – Simplify decisions, break problems down, and take small steps toward action. ✅ Face fear and do it anyway – Fear fades when you acknowledge it and move forward despite it.
