We’ve mastered how to fight. But no one ever taught us how to repair.

In this raw, emotionally electric episode, Raj sits down with his brother-in-growth Alex King to unpack the real reason our relationships—romantic, professional, and personal—fall apart: unseen attachments and unconscious triggers.

Raj reveals the invisible architecture behind every emotional reaction, conflict, and moment of disconnection—and how to rewire your nervous system, soften the ego, and build true safety in love.

This is the deep inner work that leads to freedom, resilience, and unshakable peace. And once you learn how to repair… everything changes.

🔍 In this episode, you’ll learn:

The #1 relationship skill no one teaches—but every partnership needs
How to recognize when your inner child is running the show
Why “I’m sorry” is more powerful than you think (if it’s real)
How to turn triggers into tools for transformation
The subtle difference between control and curiosity
Why your relationship to uncertainty shapes every decision
How to shift from codependence to devotional love
A framework to feel safer, stronger, and more self-aware—starting now

If you’ve ever asked, “Why do I keep reacting this way?”—this conversation is the answer.

S2 EP80. Libby & Andy Drish: How to Transform Relationship Death into Lifelong Devotion

2 April 2025 by Raj Jana

In this deeply intimate conversation, I sit down with Libby and Andy Drish, a couple who have mastered the delicate balance between devotion and freedom in their 15-year relationship. Starting young and admittedly anti-relationship, they’ve navigated through volatile beginnings to discover a level of harmony most couples never experience. What sets their journey apart is their extraordinary commitment to relationship mastery—they’ve dedicated years to studying with the world’s most advanced relationship teachers, experimenting with cutting-edge frameworks, and developing their own maps for love’s terrain.

Unlike most couples who rely on conventional wisdom, Andy and Libby have approached their relationship like relationship astronauts—venturing into uncharted territories, testing boundaries, and bringing back wisdom that few have access to.

What You’ll Learn:

The three stages of relationship evolution: codependence, independence, and interdependence
How to navigate “death portals” in your relationship where old dynamics must die for new ones to emerge
The Infinite Theory of Love – a powerful map for balancing freedom and safety
Why devotion feels like death in the darkest times but becomes the most exquisite experience in the lightest times

Why vulnerability and emotional expression are more effective than verbal negotiation
The immense power of their weekly “ritual” practice and how it can transform your relationship

Andy and Libby share battle-tested wisdom from their 15-year experiment, revealing maps and frameworks they wish they’d had during their hardest moments. Their journey proves that with devotion as your North Star, you can create a relationship that continually evolves into something you wouldn’t have believed possible.

S2 EP79. Raj Jana: Becoming an Energy Billionaire

26 March 2025 by Raj Jana

This episode explores how to view your work, business, and creative projects through the lens of energy rather than conventional metrics. As I’ve grown in my spiritual journey, I’ve started to see everything as energy flows – when something isn’t working between team members, I see stuck energy; when sales aren’t flowing, there’s likely a kink in the chain. In this conversation with Alex, we dive into how companies have souls born from the seed of an idea, how your consciousness gets embedded into every aspect of the business, and why aligning with “what wants to happen” rather than “what I want” can lead to quantum leaps in success.

What You’ll Learn:

How to connect with the soul of your company or creative project
Why your level of consciousness directly affects the flow of energy in your business
The profound difference between “what I want” versus “what wants to happen”
How to identify where energy is stuck in your organization and how to release it
The concept of “return on energy” as a more meaningful measure than return on investment
How to become an “energy billionaire” rather than just pursuing financial success
Practical ways to access intuitive leadership for better decision-making
How creating safety is the fundamental role of conscious leadership

If you’re experiencing friction in your work, team dynamics, or sensing that your business isn’t flowing as effortlessly as it could, this episode offers a completely different perspective on your challenges. I’m not sharing concepts from business books (there aren’t any on this topic!) – this is what’s actually working for me. When you realize you’re not the owner of your creations but rather a conduit for what wants to flow through you, everything changes. You’ll make decisions from greater alignment, attract unexpected opportunities, and experience the kind of expansion that happens when you get out of your own way.
