In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, Sana sits down with Louis Brantmeier, a relationships and intimacy coach, to pressure-test what “inner peace” actually looks like when life gets loud. They break down why chasing outer success for inner calm usually backfires, how the nervous system runs your relationships on autopilot, and why “peace” is less a personality trait and more a daily operating system upgrade. Expect practical frameworks on emotional intelligence, emotional fitness, and emotional alchemy. Built for entrepreneurs, high performers, and anyone tired of collecting self-help content instead of building real emotional regulation.
Louis Brantmeier is a dating, relationships, and intimacy coach who helps successful professionals create healthier relationships, deeper intimacy, and more grounded connection. He blends communication skills, nervous system awareness, men’s work, and personal development to help people stop repeating old patterns and start leading themselves with clarity.
Inner peace is not the absence of triggers. It’s staying present without abandoning yourself when you get activated.
Most people chase peace through achievement because they inherited a “blueprint” from culture, media, and conditioning. That blueprint optimizes for status, not stability.
Desire is not the enemy. Attachment is. Own your goals, don’t let your goals own you.
Emotional intelligence is naming what you feel. Emotional fitness is responding skillfully. Emotional alchemy is letting the emotion move through you so it stops running your life.
Healing is not “fixing yourself.” Over-focusing on fixing feeds the ego loop. Shift from “what’s wrong with me” to “what do I want to create.”
Relationships often mirror your subconscious expectations. You can unconsciously train people how to treat you through what you tolerate.
Stress is not automatically toxic. Controlled “good stress” can build capacity, but overload creates diminishing returns.
Meditation and self-awareness build the gap between stimulus and response. That gap is where peace lives.
Your nervous system is not a Slack channel. You can’t just “mute” discomfort. You can process it and lead yourself anyway.
