When Leaders Disappoint - How to Stay Grounded in a Time of Scandal
Episode 187
Friday, 20 February, 2026

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores what happens inside us when leaders, teachers, or institutions disappoint us. Rather than focusing on scandal or personalities, she examines the nervous system response — the tight chest, the bracing, the fatigue — that arises when authority feels unstable. Using the cultural moment and the paradigm shift illustrated in the 2023 Barbie film as a backdrop, she invites listeners to reclaim internal authority instead of outsourcing certainty to charismatic figures. This episode offers a grounded, embodied framework for discernment, emotional maturity, and self-trust in a time when external structures feel increasingly unreliable. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent. Her podcast, Wisdom of the Body, holds an average rating of 5 stars on Apple Podcasts and is in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally.
