Listen "Mindful Resilience Beyond Burnout with Dr Jonathan Locust"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Mindful Living Podcast, host Sana sits down with Dr Jonathan Locust, founder of ConsciRise, to unpack what mindful resilience really looks like when life has already broken your body and your bandwidth. This is not about fake positivity or hustle culture. It is about how to move from quiet burnout into honest, strategic, sustainable healing.
Dr Jonathan shares how a full-body collapse, a 24 day water fast, and encounters with both supportive and exploitative healers pushed him to rebuild his life, his health, and his work from the inside out. Together, they explore the intersection of science, spirit, and strategy, and what it takes to create a nervous system friendly life in a world that moves too fast. This is a straight talking conversation for anyone who is done pretending they are fine and wants a grounded path back to themselves.
About the Guest:
Dr Jonathan Locust is the founder of ConsciRise, a curated community of vetted holistic practitioners focused on authenticity, integrity, and real healing outcomes.
Previously, he served as Vice President of Inclusive Excellence and a graduate professor, leading high pressure, high impact work in higher education. He holds a PhD in Theory and Social Foundations, and his background includes:
Psychometric instrument design
Behavioral analysis and predictive modeling
Legal and jury outcome prediction work
After a serious health crisis and profound burnout, Dr Jonathan undertook a 24 day water fast that radically shifted his understanding of consciousness, trust, and resilience. His later exploration of hypnosis based regression and spiritual practices helped him bridge analytical research, lived experience, and energetic healing into the ConsciRise model. Today he supports individuals and communities in building mindful resilience inside safe, ethically held healing spaces.
Key Takeaways:
Mindful resilience is not grit on autopilot. It is the ability to pause, assess, and adapt rather than white knuckling your way through stress until you crash.
Resilience has components you can actually build. Balance, self confidence, adaptability, connection, empathy, and self control are measurable and trainable, not just personality traits you either have or do not.
Strategy separates resilience from self abandonment. Resilient people step back, think, and adjust their approach instead of repeatedly pushing through the same patterns and calling it strength.
Your inputs shape your resilience capacity. What you watch, read, listen to, eat, and who you spend time with either supports your nervous system or keeps you stuck in burnout.
Evaluation is a first practical step. Listing what you consume daily and asking whether it increases or drains your mental and emotional bandwidth is a simple, powerful entry point.
Progress is not linear, but it can still be net positive. Ten steps forward and two steps back still leaves you eight steps ahead. Grace is part of sustainable resilience.
Responsibility can be a stabilizer, not just pressure. For Dr Jonathan, his family, students, and community became part of the reason he refused to slide back into old patterns.
Data and spirit can coexist. His work shows that analytical rigor, experimentation, and spiritual practices like hypnosis based regression can align when you test them in real life instead of staying in theory.
