EP 235. Raj Jana- May Reflection: The Power Of Surrendering Your Need For Control

14 June 2022 by Raj Jana

“When you’re triggered, how the hell is your triggered mind supposed to understand the wisdom of the universe?”

This episode is my May reflection. As usual, some BIG stuff has been moving through me. The constant challenges and up-levels result from choosing to walk my own unique path through life. When you’re looking for the lessons and practicing a lifestyle of awareness, it’s impossible to NOT grow.

But it’s impossible to avoid frustrating setbacks as well! This month, I found myself asking “Why is this happening to me?”

Do you ever find yourself asking that question? For me, this conversation shows up anytime my life doesn’t match my expectations. For example, when I believe something should have happened faster or when I wish I were further along my path.

In the past, these thoughts would get me in a funk. But because of my steady reflection practice, I know there’s a lesson I need to learn (or an experience I need to have). I’m learning to let go of my own attachments and align with the universe’s timeline rather than my own. After all, just because you received a vision or an idea in a flash doesn’t mean the world is ready for it.

This realization was one of my biggest takeaways from May. I reveal more in this episode.

As usual, your old friend Georgina El Morshdy is here to hold space and help guide the conversation to ensure you get the most out of it. Here’s an overview of the juicy topics and insights that came up.

How, as a society, we’ve normalized the wrong things.
Why our individual, reflective work contributes to the evolution of our collective consciousness.
The impact of big T and little t traumas on our lives.
The mind can’t have all the answers.
How we react when things don’t happen as fast as we want them to.
Reconnecting with our vision.
What it means to live a lifestyle of awareness.
Your timeline vs the timeline of the universe.
Trusting your aligned path.
Efforting vs flowing.
And more…

These monthly reflections are a core element of how I practice a lifestyle of awareness.

Sometimes I come to record these episodes with pages of notes. Other times I have fewer written thoughts but a lot of stuff in the air. Part of staying grounded is my monthly ritual to unpack and process what’s coming up. Sure, there are some months when I don’t feel like sitting down to reflect. I question if it’s the best use of my time. But without exception, I’m always glad I made it a priority because the experience always informs clarity and confidence in a path less traveled.

I hope that by sharing these reflections with you, they inspire you to embark on your own ritual.

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 232. Zarak Fatah: Finding Your Soul’s Geographical Home

23 May 2022 by Raj Jana

“When you have that time and space to really reflect and sit in your s**t, to be able to actually be there with it and feel it, sit in it, process it, you quickly develop your boundaries, your parameters, you know what you won’t do in the future.”

What if there was a place in the world where you could recalibrate to your soul’s calling – AKA your geographical home.

Zarak Fatah is a transformational Life Coach who guides male entrepreneurs to experience more aliveness, love, deeper meaning, and purpose through his events and coaching. Zarak is a man who walks his talk. His 40th birthday brought a stark, undeniable realization that he wasn’t where he wanted to be (and where he thought he would be).

This wake-up was the catalyst for igniting a 180-degree shift in his life.

Zarak swapped the city for the jungle, reinvented himself, and as a result, is now living his dream of a healthy, balanced, fulfilling life. In this episode, he shares how he got here.

If you feel the call to reinvent your life and step more fully into what your soul intended, this delicious conversation is the catalyst you need.

These are the key takeaways that Zarak and I explored together:

What does it mean to be ALIVE?
Stepping away from aspects of life to more deeply connect with yourself.
Why we’re called to specific geographical locations.
How stepping away elevates your clarity.
Differentiating between the voices of obligation and vanity versus truth.
The unintentional choices that change us to the core.
The difference between masculine & feminine energy.
What the ego protects us from.
The journey of reparenting yourself.
Rewriting the stories to change your life.
Choosing to believe that love is safe.
And more…

This episode is a masterclass in vulnerability. You rarely get to see someone pouring out their heart in such an open and honest way.

There’s not enough vulnerability in our world. As a result, it’s hard for us to cultivate deep connections and express the buried things in our souls. Zarak is an incredible example of what it means to not only be vulnerable but to use the courage to show up as fuel to inspire others.

I believe the more we see vulnerability, the more we can pattern match to its safety. Eventually, being vulnerable becomes a genuine option for you. Imagine how that could change our lives – and ultimately the world.

EP 228. Amy Albright: Waking Up Your Spiritual Gifts

25 April 2022 by Raj Jana

“The most important thing that you can ever give another person is your loving presence.”

I first met this episode’s guest at a dinner. We had an instant connection that led to a deep spiritual conversation. Since that moment, I’ve been so excited to have Dr. Amy Albright on the show.

Dr. Amy’s audacious ownership of who she is inspires me, and I was curious about how one develops the courage to know themselves so deeply. How do you reach the place of trusting your intuition so fearlessly? How do you live a life fully guided by the wisdom within?

This episode is a spiritual journey – almost a 101 for the role of spirituality in these changing times. We cover a LOT, and in particular, explore the incredibly important role that presence plays as an activator, a catalyst, and a gateway to a soul-led life.

Dr. Amy Albright is on a mission to advance humanity. She’s a top-tier executive coach, and strategic business advisor to high-level CEOs, leaders of multi-million & billion-dollar companies, and social change makers. With over 20 years’ experience, Dr. Amy serves as the life-changing catalyst in her clients’ lives. Through her unorthodox methods, Dr. Amy guides her clients through extraordinary transformations using her cutting-edge blend of neuroscience, consciousness, personal development, and business success.

As the co-founder of Holon Evolution, Dr. Amy works to reinvent the operating system for leaders, so they can fulfill their life’s purpose and accomplish their soul’s calling. Her work is potent, powerful, and profound.

Our conversation was so rich and delicious. Amy has access to an incredible depth of wisdom and information. She blew me away and I know she’ll do the same for you too.

Here’s an overview of everything we explored:

What is spiritual intuition?
Why do some people wake up and others don’t?
Leaning into moments of truth.
Remembering and reconnecting with indigenous wisdom.
What is a spiritual gift?
Expanding our level of consciousness.
What is presence?
The most important thing you can give to another.
What’s happening in presence.
The Holon Breath Practice for activating presence.
Bifurcation is why we suffer.
The potency of making meaning from nature.

If you’re ready to discover the magic that can happen inside of presence – as well as some techniques that can take you there – do not miss this incredible conversation with Dr. Amy Albright.

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.

EP 218. Juanique Roney Finding Rainbows In the Depths Of Grief

14 February 2022 by Raj Jana

“Your shadow work, your mindset, those subconscious programs, is what governs everything in your body. It’s the control center. It’s the thermostat to the house.”

Shadow work is a huge focus in my life right now and I’m excited to share more in the podcast. In these shadow-themed episodes, I’m bringing on people to talk about their experiences of different shadow emotions.

In this episode, Juanique Roney (aka @gutsy_mom) shares her experience with grief.

Juanique is a soul sister to me and one of the most inspiring and powerful women I’ve ever met. She’s had a traumatic five years after her husband Tristin was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2017. He died last July. They had two young children.

The way Juanique chose to navigate loss, death, and grief is one of the most powerful and inspirational things I’ve ever witnessed.

She chose to grieve for her husband before he died by willingly diving into her fears, pain, and loss. Her strength is breathtaking. Somehow, she was able to alchemize her pain into a new kind of love for Tristan. One that’s empowered their children to write a story about loss that’s unconventional and beautiful.

As well as supporting her kids, Juanique’s journey through grief has allowed her to serve her thriving community in the most beautiful way. As the gutsy_mom, Juanique shows people how to lean into their bodies so they can live their healthiest, most vibrant lives. Through her wellness clinic, she teaches people to be their own self-healing superheroes.

Tune into this episode to hear Juanique’s story and more…

Inspiring the courage to dive into the pain of shadow work.
How desperation empowered Janique to heal her stress.
Softening the walls around your heart.
Admitting the things that you’re afraid to admit.
The difference between transactional and unconditional love.
Breaking down your heart walls.
Tackling the global shadow.
Empathogens. Manifesting medicines that help people do true healing.
Addiction as a tool to push down, self-soothe, and numb out the shadow.
How the fear of changing your life stops you from changing.
Setting boundaries and navigating the response.
How Juanique’s kids have experienced life after their dad’s death.
The meaning of rainbows.
And more…

Shadow work is confronting and painful. But if you allow yourself to sink in, you experience the flip side of healing, love, and freedom.

Juanique’s story is a beautiful example of finding beauty in pain. Tune in now and you’ll see that there are rainbows inside of grief.
