EP 234. Jaime McFadden: Riding The Healing Wave Of Guilt-Free Self-Care

6 June 2022 by Raj Jana

“In order to serve our family, to serve our friends, to serve the community, we have to serve ourselves.”

Self-care is no longer a luxury, It’s a necessity. What’s more, as a culture, we desperately need to transform our definition of self-care. It’s not all luxury massages and delightful bubble baths! Instead, self-care is about asking for help and getting support from your ‘village’ so you can overcome the common inhibitors of time, guilt, shame, and negativity bias.

Jaime McFadden is an international self-care specialist, health coach, and thought-leader on cultivating a lifestyle of guilt-free wellness. She’s also the host of the What’s The Word podcast.

I recorded this conversation LIVE on Memorial Day Weekend at Feast It Forward festival in Napa.

I was so inspired by Jaime’s story of holistic self-care backed by a village of support. Jaime is a bold, vibrant soul with masses of energy. I was mesmerized by her story and her vision. In this episode, she shared publicly for the first time the life experiences that took her to the brink and inspired her to bring a self-care message to the world. Don’t miss it!

As a busy mom and successful entrepreneur, Jaime’s story is proof of what’s possible when we choose ourselves. With the right support, you can hold a lot! For example, Jaime was in full-on book launch mode during the Feast It Forward festival. Her NEW book WAVES of Self-Care is out now.

Jaime wrote this book to inspire people to dig deep and discover what they need to enhance their well-being, one baby step at a time.

Here’s an overview of all the awesome things we got to chat about.

Redefining the word selfish.
Why do we sometimes need to hit burnout before we’ll ask for help?
Life is precious.
Surrendering the need to hold on.
How Jaime’s childhood dreams, premonitions, and visions pushed her to the brink.
The power of micro-choices on the recovery journey.
Experiencing life as a wave.
How our presence sparks a ripple of impact.
The healing power of self-care.
And more…

In a world where so much is demanded of us, prioritizing self-care and asking for help is one of the most empowering things we can do. I hope this beautiful conversation with Jaime inspires you to build yourself a village and prioritize your self-care.

EP 233. Nina Lombardo: Demystifying Feminine Energy & Embodiment

1 June 2022 by Raj Jana

“When you place your awareness on your body and on your sensations and allow–through the depth of your presence with that sensation, the sensation actually expands, the sensation deepens and more feminine wisdom is revealed.”

As human consciousness evolves, we’re beginning to discover the true power of energetics as a creative and manifesting force. In a world where masculine energy has dominated for millennia, the rise of the divine feminine opens a new gateway for conscious leadership.

As a result, more people are getting inspired to understand the role of feminine energy and embodiment as a pathway to freedom, fulfillment, and happiness.

This episode’s guest is the founder of The Way of Devotion, the incredible Nina Lombardo.

In her work as a teacher, mentor, and artist, Nina supports women in embodying their most authentic spiritual and sexual expressions. Through workshops, retreats, and private mentoring, she provides women with somatic-based tools to embody their love and deepen their capacity for intimacy and connection, so they can create the lives and relationships they yearn for.

I was drawn to Nina because, for me, she’s done the work to integrate both masculine and feminine energies within herself. I can feel it in her expression and her presence. It’s one of the attributes that makes Nina an exceptional leader in the art of polarity, devotion, authentic expression, and yearning.

Key takeaways:

Understanding feminine energy & embodiment.
Becoming aware of our numbness and why we’re afraid to feel.
Why our authentic expression requires an attunement to love.
Polarity and the exquisite dance between the masculine & the feminine.
Understanding how devotion transcends service.
Calling more love, intimacy, and devotion into your work and relationships.
And more…

I’ve come to learn that mastering the art of living is to master the art of polarity. When you understand how masculine and feminine energies dance together, you can create more intimacy, devotion, and love in your relationships, work, art, and more.

This episode is a powerful gateway for demystifying the feminine and understanding the potency of embodiment. If you care about conscious leadership, you won’t want to miss it!

“Can I love what it is and love it exactly the way it is?”

Phoebe Mroczek is my soul sister and one of the most inspiring women I know. She’s been on a relentless pursuit of the greatest levels of love in herself over the past few years and I’ve witnessed her transformation first-hand. Her desire to step into new levels of leadership for herself, her relationship, and her work is so inspiring.

And in this multi-faceted conversation, we explore it all. What does self-love really look like, why we need to befriend the body instead of transcending it, how to accept ALL of life (not just the good bits) – and so much more.

As an energetic intelligence leader and a media personality in the consciousness space, Phoebe empowers people to create an incredible life, not just a thriving business.

EP 227. Ron Baker: What Your Soul Is Really Here To Do

18 April 2022 by Raj Jana

“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.”

I love having previous guests back on the show. The new conversation reminds me how far I’ve come in my own journey of awareness. I’ll always remember the first time I met Ron Baker because until that moment, I knew nothing about the concept of an inner child.

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 pick up the theme of the inner child and expand it to embrace the emerging self. We explore the intense wisdom that your soul’s curriculum has as you navigate this incarnation on earth. We talk about Ron’s new book and how it’s been inspired by his soul. No book can match the book of the soul and it’s clear that Ron’s new book was written from the most soulful of places.

This conversation is so rich and delicious. 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 recording of his book.
And more…

There’s so much freedom in discovering what the soul is here to do. There’s so much peace in understanding that our wounding helps create a soul curriculum for this life that serves to expand and evolve us. In this beautiful episode, Ron helps us remember the depth of truth that can be found inside. After all, when we know it’s there, we feel compelled to go and find it.
