In this eye-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we dive deep into the truth behind personal development with transformational coach and author 'Polish Peter' Kolat. Known for his book Authentic Self Rebirth and the creator of the 7 Human Drives framework, Peter dismantles the traditional “mindset” narrative and introduces a more visceral, human, and transformative approach—Mindshift.
From healing deep-rooted trauma to rewiring behavior through journaling, somatic work, and emotional release, Peter shares practical tools that go beyond surface-level hacks. We talk about the power of language, the science of neuroplasticity, toxic positivity, and how inner work, when done right, can lead to lasting personal liberation.
Whether you're a high achiever feeling spiritually flatlined or someone tired of performative self-help, this conversation will shift how you view growth, success, and authenticity.
