Feeling overwhelmed or untethered lately? This episode is a gentle exhale.

In Episode 141, Autumn sits down with Nazar Yasin, co-founder and CEO of Sol, to explore how living with purpose can calm the nervous system and transform mental health. Drawing on both science and personal insight, Nazar explains why purposeful or spiritual activity acts like exercise for the brain—boosting social, emotional, physical, and mental health while reducing anxiety, depression, addiction, and even suicide risk.

You’ll discover just how powerful simple daily rituals can be—like moving through nature, practicing compassion, engaging in creative expression, meditating or journaling—in shifting your inner state toward peace. Nazar also dives into the neuroscience of connection through oxytocin, the importance of belonging, and the power of resilience when life feels uncertain.
