Episode Details

On Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Saw K. Myint—a Burmese-Australian finance professional and property developer—to unpack a Buddhist, science-aligned approach to self-mental healthcare. We get practical on non-attachment, moment-to-moment awareness, and why most feelings are reflections of the past—useful signals, not life sentences. This direct, toolbox-style conversation covers stress, depression, addiction, grief, aging, and resilience with clear, repeatable practices you can apply today. Perfect for listeners seeking evidence-aware mindfulness, mental clarity, and steady leadership in messy real life.

About the guest  :

Saw K. Myint is a Burmese-Australian mother of two, CPA-qualified finance broker, and property developer. Grounded in Buddhist teachings and everyday pragmatism, she helps people steady their minds with accessible, fact-of-life practices—no dogma, no fluff.

Key takeaways:

• Feelings are real but lagging indicators. Because mind–body processes shift rapidly, most emotions reflect memory, imagination, or reflection rather than the live present.

• Non-attachment isn’t apathy. You still feel joy and pain; you simply don’t cling. Good and bad states don’t last, so act without over-identifying.

• Practical reset for stress/depression/addiction:

1. 1. Name the urge or state precisely.

   2. Ask what it aims to achieve and for how long the relief would last.

   3. Compare benefits vs. costs (health, freedom, relationships).

   4. Return attention to the next right action you can do now.

• Grief with responsibility. Care fully while loved ones are here; when they pass, release guilt and honor impermanence by continuing to live well.

• Leadership edge: Non-attachment reduces reactivity, widens options, and supports calm decision-making under pressure.

• For elders and caregivers: Recognizing “this too passes” reduces loneliness and softens expectations, creating peace in later years.

• For disability and neurodiversity contexts: Lead with respect and sameness—we all “play catch-up” with our perceptions.

• Daily micro-practice: During any spike (anger, craving, worry), pause–label–evaluate–act. Keep it short; repeat often.
