Ravinder Taylor is a longtime explorer of the human mind. She authored the book Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment, and she joins us for a rich and layered conversation about inner transformation, healing, mindset, and the truth behind what actually works when it comes to becoming who you truly are.

In this episode, Ravinder shares her incredible story of healing herself from rheumatoid arthritis—without medications—by combining subconscious programming, hypnosis, spiritual perspective, placebo research, and relentless curiosity. She walks us through the science-backed benefits of optimism, the daily practices that truly shift your mindset, and the real psychology behind affirmations, rituals, and manifesting.

We also touch on:

• Hypnotherapy, trauma resolution, and subconscious programming
• Growth vs fixed mindsets and the Neuroscience behind habit change
• The role of free will (or lack thereof) in transformation
• Media manipulation, subconscious priming, and being aware of your inputs
• Optimism, journaling, diaphragmatic breathing, and the power of smiling
• The journey of becoming the best version of yourself—without the fluff

Notable Quotes from Episode 0114 – Ravinder Taylor

“I wanted to give people the why—not just another list of what to do. When you understand why something works, you stop outsourcing your power.”

“You don’t always have to know which thing healed you. Sometimes it’s the accumulation, the ripening—your belief meets your action, and something finally shifts.”

“Free will isn’t free—you have to take it. Most of our minds are running on autopilot, but we can interrupt the programming and rewire it intentionally.”

“Healing isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about removing what blocks your authentic self from expressing.”

“Smiling is underrated medicine. It shifts your brain chemistry, helps others feel seen, and reminds you that you’re safe, here, now.”

This is one of those episodes that’s packed with tools, reminders, and encouragement for anyone working on themselves. Ravinder brings grounded wisdom from both scientific and experiential lenses, and delivers it all with heart and clarity. I highly recommend grabbing a physical copy of her book 'Mind Training - Science of Self-Empowerment'
