EP 252. Gina Worful: Releasing The Shame Around Your Emotions

“Doing the work is the journey of questioning. Once you question and you become aware, it’s making choices.”

Over the last four years, I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours on my inner work journey. I chose to turn myself into my own research project, and this time in my life has been a period of massive growth, reflection, and expansion. 

In this episode, I’ve paired up with my beautiful life partner Gina to open up about the rock bottom experiences that brought us to our knees, and how we used those experiences as catalysts to shift the way we lived our lives.

The journey of increasing awareness is potent, powerful, and profound. Eventually, you uncover the underlying factors that are unconsciously creating your reality. It’s the work that returns you to your personal power. It’s a rich inquiry that elevates your ability to choose differently and shift the course of your life for good.

I hope this week’s episode is a glimpse of the ecstatic level of fulfillment possible when you choose to face your fears and lean into the wisdom of what wants to be shown.

Key takeaways:

  • Why hormonal imbalance became a gateway for Gina to go inwards. 
  • When stress-relieving techniques aren’t effective
  • We’ve normalized living with chronic stress. 
  • How compartmentalizing is a coping strategy. 
  • Looking inward to discover hidden beliefs. 
  • The ego death from coming clean to my ex
  • Why the secret to healing is to understand your nervous system responses. 
  • Creating the space for a proactive response. 
  • The liberation that comes from looking at discomfort. 
  • Information about a LIVE group healing experience. 
  • And more…

EP 250. Raj Jana: My Eight Year Journey To Self Love & Liberation

“Even though on paper I had all the markings of someone successful, I didn’t feel it. That really confused me.”

As a 250th episode special, I wanted to share all the lessons I’ve learned from investing multi-six figures and thousands of hours into my personal journey to create a life of alignment and liberation that I feel so grateful to be living today.

When I started this podcast, I had no idea about the journey I was about to take. The journey to internal liberation isn’t easy. My life has changed entirely since releasing my first episode in 2017, but the path to this point has been riddled with the most extreme highs and lows.

The game of BEING is confusing because it’s filled with guesswork, detours, and setbacks.

But hindsight brings clarity.

As I reflect over the past eight years (and the thousands of dollars and hours I invested), I’m clear on what worked and what didn’t. I’m now confident about what levers to pull and where to focus my time, energy, and resources so I can keep experiencing unshakeable confidence, freedom, clarity, and self-love.

No one should have to invest as much as I have into healing our minds, bodies, and souls in order to experience wholeness. I believe it’s our birthright to feel good about who we are. We shouldn’t be living in a constant state of anxiety or fear. We should be learning how our nervous systems are wired from an early age so we can properly tend to it as we grow through life. It’s why I’ve decided to share my journey so far with you — with no stones left unturned – so that you can see how a dedication to the “inner work” can lead to permanent shifts in your mental & emotional well-being.

Key takeaways:

  • How a book transformed my perspective of what’s possible.
  • My quest to seek missing feelings through entrepreneurship – only to fall short of what I wanted.
  • How a drive to infuse meaning & purpose into my side hustle birthed Stay Grounded.
  • Forcing change through the game of DOing.
  • External success will only take you so far. You’ll eventually hit a wall.
  • Opening to my emotions through plant medicine. Breaking open to build myself up.
  • Discovering what’s under the hood. Moving into the realm of root cause exploration.
  • Differentiating between MY vision for my life and the vision that others had for my life.
  • Unlocking mirror work through community-based healing. My Journey groups.
  • Working with hypnotherapist Grace Smith.
  • Ending a nine-year relationship and confronting uncomfortable truths about myself.
  • Inner work has the answers, but it’s hard, expensive, and time-consuming.
  • Inner work shouldn’t be for the privileged few with resources. It should be accessible and effective for EVERYONE. And that’s what I’m excited to share with you all.

On October 5th, I will be doing a teaching a live masterclass about a data-driven, heart-centered, and personalized approach to the inner work that removes confusion from the process altogether. Please visit www.rajjana.com/masterclass to join!

EP 248. Raj Jana- August Reflection: Burning Man – The Frequency Of Liberation

“Infinite possibility lives in the unknown. Can I trust the frequency of truth and presence over the ego hits that my mind is craving?”

I’m just back from my first ever Burning Man experience, and it was life-changing. In this month’s reflection episode, I share the raw integrations and lessons from my time in Black Rock City. 

Stepping out of the constraints and conditions of everyday life into an environment with zero judgment and radical inclusion, driven by a gifting economy, was wildly transformative. For the first time in my life, I got to experience the frequency of liberation — where I could feel the infinite possibilities of the human spirit and potential. 

Burning Man allowed me to experience a life that side-steps the ego and follows the calling of the heart. In the infinite expanse of the desert landscape, I felt safe to calibrate to the speed of my soul. 

There’s so much to talk about and reveal. I’m grateful to have Georgina El Morshdy with me to guide the conversation.

Key takeaways:

  • My raw integrations and lessons from Burning Man. 
  • What is Burning Man in a nutshell (in case you haven’t heard of it). 
  • The possibilities for living inside a judgement-free space. 
  • How a new environment can change your life – radically. 
  • Side-stepping ego and allowing intuition to guide my decisions and experiences. 
  • The power of a gifting economy. 
  • Burning the man and the temples. 
  • Burning my perfectionist tendencies to experience liberation. 
  • Owning my soul gifts. 
  • How to integrate profound shifts so they remain a permanent part of who you be and do. 
  • Tapping into energetic frequencies as a gateway for creation.

EP 247. Nick Onken: Tapping Into Your Inner, Creative Genius

“I think identity alchemy is finding who you are at the core.”

How do you identify and define yourself when you have multiple interests, multiple talents, multiple ways you see yourself interacting with the world? 

For Nick Onken, the answer is Identity Alchemy – the creative art of deconstructing who you are [and who you’ve been] so you can discover the essence that sits at your core.    

This episode’s guest is Nick Onken – a creative alchemist who dances between the roles of photographer, hat designer, podcaster, artist, and entrepreneur. He’s lived a creative life where his curiosity has guided him to shed identities and redefine himself as his work and life have shifted and evolved.  

In this episode, Nick and I explore the creative power we can all access – to unleash our inner genius.

Nick Onken has been commissioned by top tier brands such as Nike, Coca Cola, Adidas and publishers such as Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller and Marie Claire. His portfolio of photographed personalities include Justin Bieber, Usher, Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba and Tony Robbins, to name a few. Nick also supports, and photographs for Pencils of Promise, a reputable non-profit organization using education as the most powerful tool to change the world.

In this beautiful episode, Nick and I explore: 

  1. What does identity alchemy mean? 
  2. The power of personal brands 
  3. The creative force of connecting to the energy of the moment. 
  4. Creation as a tool to pull yourself into your truth.

  9. And more…

Nick’s on a mission to raise consciousness through the art he creates in the world – no matter what art form that is. He believes everyone is a creator with the ability to explore and express their inner genius – and in this episode he shows you how.

EP 246. Justin Sharpe: Practicing Conscious Awareness

“Words are like magic and sentences are like spells. They can take on multiple meanings. They can put things in motion. They are so powerful.”

Justin Sharpe is the serial entrepreneur with several companies and a wide range of lived experiences.

Listen to this conversation, and you’ll get an insight into how a deep-thinking entrepreneur processes his thoughts, experiences, and personal stories. It’s this depth of thinking that first drew me to Justin. I was inspired by his insatiable commitment to scrutinize himself for the purpose of knowing his truth.

This episode dives deep into Justin’s personal life philosophies. We learn how his mother’s origin story led to an incredibly difficult childhood and how Justin chose to see his life through a more empowering lens and create a beautiful life for himself.  You’ll hear about the tools and practices Justin uses to go inwards and create his realities. We also explore definitions of purpose and how who you are can matter more than what you do.

Key takeaways:

  • How Justin brings conscious awareness to his unconscious operating systems. 
  • Integrating the wisdom of the mind, body, and soul.
