Stay Grounded With Raj Jana

This is a re-release of an episode with one of my favorite human beings on the planet. I’m currently re-reading his book and the wisdom shared in this episode is timely for myself.“When we begin to understand that our challenges are there to point us in certain directions so that we will focus on those specific things in our lifetime, then it's exactly what we need to be working on.” Ron was one of the first teachers that taught me to go within for the answers, the awareness, and the healing. His impact on me was profound. In this conversation, we explore the intense wisdom that your soul’s curriculum has as you navigate this incarnation on earth. Tune in now to hear Ron and I explore: Understanding the concept of a soul emergence. What self-care is and what it isn’t. How to know what’s your truth. The concept of: Do unto yourself what you would do to others. Using breath to release stored emotion safely.Claiming self as the main prize.Ron’s experience of doing an audible re

I’m a massive advocate for leaning into your family and intimate relationships as catalysts for rapid transformation and growth. May 2023 has been a masterclass for me in showing up with authentic and grounded vulnerability to unleash profound levels of emotional intimacy and connection in my relationships. One of the most profound months of growth I have ever experienced. There is so much going on in my life right now, and as usual, you get a front row seat in this month’s reflection episode. Tune in now to hear Georgina and I explore: What’s possible when you choose to close one chapter of a relationship with love to intentionally create space for the nextThe power of keeping your heart open when it feels safer (or easier) to close. The 100 days of Raj challengeGiving your shame and other “prickly” emotions the space to breatheWhy mastering your interpersonal relationships begins with a commitment to self How expressing your vulnerability gives others permission to do the same Commu

When confronted with adversity, it is natural to tense up and resist what is happening. But what if there’s a more intuitive approach to managing adverse life experiences that leaves you feeling emotionally resilient, connected to forces unseen, and held by the graceful hands of life? Bailee Buckedorff’s life turned upside down when she lost her husband to suicide and was left to tend to her 3 young children on her own. Shortly afterwards, she “fell” into an opportunity to learn from and be held by Guru Singh, a celebrated 3rd generation yogi and master spiritual teacher. Fast forward 4 years, Bailee is now the founder of 13 Moons - an online community that showcases a library of Guru Signh’s teachings and provides tools like guided meditations and kundalini to help you stay grounded through a daily spiritual practice. This podcast is the story of a woman who has allowed herself to be led by spirit through the darkest of times. She fell into entrepreneurship through seemingly divine orchestrati

I was specifically drawn to Nina because her teachings are conveyed in a way that is accessible to men as well.Learning to harness and work with my inner feminine has created profound levels of depth and co

I’ve known for a while that April would be a big month. Earlier in the year, I booked an 8-day ayahuasca retreat with 21 other men. This is the most nights I’ve sat in a ceremony, and the first with a group of men. I spent the first three weeks of April prepping for the event. It was important to me to get clarity on the intentions I wanted to take into ceremony. The retreat was an invitation to explore what’s been hiding in my shadow - the source of my greatest fears and my greatest potential. It’s been a long road to get to this point in my life, but something inside me knew it was time to ask myself the bold questions that I was afraid to know the answers to.What resulted was the most transformative journey I’ve ever experienced. I found the root of my inner critic, and replaced the critical voice in my head with that of a compassionate guide. My relationship with myself has shifted entirely. More than that, I now understand what it means to love myself fully - and it’s changing how I show up in

Over the last several years, I’ve spent a lot of time learning how to feel several uncomfortable emotions like sadness, grief, and shame. But anger is another story. I’ve always had a hard time connecting to my anger, and I know I’m not alone. Most of us are not taught how to deal with anger in the moments we feel it because of all the conditioning and “rules” we have around expressing anger. As a result, it just gets stored in the body and fuels reactive behaviors and emotional triggers. These emotional triggers don’t fully stop occurring until you release what’s been buried in the unconscious mind for years, some decades.March was a profound month of learning to release repressed anger that never fully got felt growing up. I had a few profound healing experiences and enlightening conversations led to some significant breakthroughs in my emotional well-being. Thank you all for being. I’m beyond grateful that I get to share this journey with you all. Love you guys! If you have a moment, please

How do you navigate life when your reality doesn’t align with your expectations? February was a month of deep and difficult reflection for me. I found myself revisiting the topic of attachments and expectations - in business, health, and relationships. In many ways, I’ve been battling with myself as I cultivate the courage to stay connected to the magic of the moment instead of dwelling on the unmet desires of my ego. I think this is a common dilemma. What does it mean when we don’t manifest what we think we want? Maybe it’s an invitation to look for grace and fall deeper into faith. Because what if the true reality is that you can’t miss what is meant for you? As usual, I’m joined by your old friend Georgina El Morshdy in this reflection episode. Tune in now to hear us explore: Why reflection has the power to create meaning. Why meaning ignites a natural source of energy that makes life interesting. The difference between goals and expectations. The art

This episode is my January reflection, a practice that has changed its flavor over time. Instead of finding lessons to learn from my reflections, I'm discovering patterns; it's like I keep coming back to what has worked and keeps working, and I find myself doubling down on what is true.
