What if the moments you most want to escape are the exact moments that are rewiring you?
Most of us were taught to fix, push through, or numb the hard stuff. When conflict hits a relationship, when a business deal falls apart, when fear grips your chest — we run. We reach for the phone, the distraction, the solution. But what if the single most transformative thing you could do in those moments is the one thing nobody taught you: just be in it?
In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj sits down with his close friend Nasya Miller in Nosara, Costa Rica to unpack a month that included getting engaged, navigating business pivots, sitting in emotional turbulence with his partner, and discovering a weekly practice that changed the way he digests life. This isn’t theory — it’s wisdom from the trenches of building a business, deepening love, and learning how to die well so you can actually live.
What You’ll Discover:
- Why a neuroscientist says the moment you’re most triggered is the exact moment you’re most neuroplastic — and how to use that to rewire yourself in real time
- The ancient weekly practice that gave Raj a rhythm of rest and reflection he didn’t know he was missing — and how it accelerated his integration
- What it felt like to close “a thousand timelines” by getting on one knee — and why that single choice rearranged everything
- The difference between knowing something is a gift and actually feeling it as one — and what shifts when that gap finally closes
- Why your triggers aren’t your partner’s fault, and the specific reframe that moves you from blame to liberation in seconds
- How to access the intuitive guidance of your future self — the father, the leader, the 86-year-old version of you who’s already been through this
- The surprising question a mentor gave Raj that reoriented his entire relationship with uncertainty: “What miracles are about to arrive in my life today?”
- Why getting better at “dying” — letting old identities, plans, and beliefs dissolve — is the single most important skill for anyone navigating change
If you’re in a season of uncertainty, transition, or emotional intensity and you’re wondering how to stay rooted in playfulness, hope, and trust while everything shifts around you — this episode is your permission slip to stop fixing and start feeling. Press play and let this reflection meet you exactly where you are.
