S2 EP98. Raj Jana: Raj Jana: Why Shame Dies in Sunlight – The Science of Healing Through Vulnerability

What if the very thing you’re hiding is the key to your healing? In this powerful episode on vulnerability and shame healing, Raj reveals groundbreaking insights from hundreds of thousands of data points at transformation company Liber8, proving shame is the invisible force driving our deepest disconnection and loneliness.

Research shows loneliness impacts health more than smoking daily, and at the root lies shame: believing we’re fundamentally flawed and must hide our darkest parts. This transforms how you understand shame and gives you practical tools to heal trauma, build self-compassion, and create authentic connections.

What You’ll Learn About Healing Shame & Building Self-Love

🎯 Vulnerability Psychology – Why things you refuse to share reveal deepest wounds and how vulnerability becomes your pathway to emotional freedom

🎯 Guilt vs Shame Recovery – The life-changing distinction between “I did something wrong” versus “I am wrong” for mental health healing

🎯 Shadow Work & Projection – How judging others mirrors your hidden shame and blocks authentic relationships

🎯 Psychological Safety – What makes someone feel truly safe to be vulnerable and share their deepest truths

🎯 Inner Critic Transformation – How shame-based self-talk sabotages relationships and blocks self-compassion

🎯 Nervous System Healing – The neuroscience of how being witnessed literally rewires your brain for connection

🎯 Trauma Release Techniques – What happens in your body when shame releases and your nervous system finds rest

🎯 Failure Reframing – Transform your relationship with mistakes through self-forgiveness and emotional intelligence

Start Your Healing Journey Today

Here’s what Raj wants you to know: there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are worthy of love exactly as you are, and every mistake has shaped the beautiful, complex human you are today.

The shame you carry isn’t protecting you—it’s blocking the love and connection your soul craves. Here’s the liberating truth: shame cannot survive in the light of loving witness and radical self-acceptance.

This is your permission slip to stop hiding. Watch the full episode and discover why the most healing thing you can do is exactly what you’re most afraid of: being fully, authentically seen.

S2 EP97. Raj Jana: The Frequency of Alignment – How to Design Rituals That Keep You in Your Power

Most of us chase healing through endless tools and practices—yet remain stuck and unfulfilled. What if the most powerful healing isn’t something you add to your life, but something you align with?

In this episode, Raj shares his journey to discovering “the frequency of alignment”—where safety and aliveness intersect to create a life with wind behind your sails. No amount of meditation can bring you back to center if you’re living misaligned. But when you track your unique signal and design rituals around it, everything changes.

What You’ll Discover:

🔍 Why do most people confuse chaos with aliveness? The fundamental difference between frenetic energy and true vitality.

🧭 What does your personal “safety signal” feel like? Specific qualities that indicate optimal state versus survival mode.

⚡ How can you create courage by building safety first? The counterintuitive approach to bravery without forcing through fear.

📡 What is “signal tracking” versus traditional reflection? Why focusing on feeling states is more powerful than analyzing actions.

🌪️ Why does life fall apart when you start aligning? Why relationships shift and chaos emerges—and why this is perfect.

🎯 How do you distinguish true alignment from avoiding discomfort? Learn the difference between authenticity and spiritual bypassing.

☕ What role do physical rituals play in anchoring insights? How Raj uses ceremonial tea to embody principles and set daily frequency.

🚀 How do you know when to wait versus take aligned action? Understanding when to push forward versus trust the process.

Are you ready to stop pushing the boulder uphill and design rituals that keep you in the frequency where life flows through you? When you prioritize your wellbeing and choose yourself, you don’t just heal—you become a gift to everyone around you. Listen to discover your unique alignment frequency and learn to protect it like your life depends on it.

S2 EP96. Alexa Rosenthal: Sacred Witnessing and Grief Work: How I Survived Coming Off SSRIs

Alexa Rosenthal is the co-founder of Eco University, where she built a multi-million dollar herbalism program after receiving guidance from plant medicine to “make plants sexy again.” But behind her entrepreneurial success was a 20-year journey with antidepressants that began at age 16. After seven failed attempts to get off SSRIs, Alexa finally found a path to freedom through sacred witnessing, grief work, and learning to trust her body’s natural capacity to feel. Now eight months medication-free, she’s courageously sharing the raw reality of what worked—and what didn’t—in her healing journey. Through radical vulnerability and honest storytelling, she’s pioneering a new model of feminine leadership that refuses to hide the messy, non-linear path of authentic transformation while demonstrating that regulation, not performance, can be the foundation for sustainable creation.

What You’ll Discover: 

  • Why a $1.6 million business milestone became her breaking point
  • The shocking reality of what happens when your emotional “container” disappears
  • How she broke her hand learning to feel again after 20 years of numbness
  • The ancient healing technology called “sacred witnessing” that changed everything
  • The disturbing 2013 medical change that criminalized natural grief
  • Why antidepressants are actually “outsourcing your emotional power”
  • The surprising link between women’s rage and planetary healing
  • What happened when she tried to raise capital while getting off psychiatric drugs

Your vulnerability is not your weakness. It’s your gift.

If you’re feeling the call to trust what your body is telling you—whether about medication, relationships, career, or anywhere you’ve been outsourcing your power—you’re not alone in this work.

The courage to feel fully, ask for help, be seen in your mess, and trust your body’s wisdom over external validation is the revolution our world needs right now.

Listen to discover the practical tools and raw honesty that can support your own path to wholeness.

S2 EP95. Dr. Alec Verkuilen-Brogan: The Sacred Geometry of Your Spine: How Safety Unlocks Each Stage of Spiritual Awakening

What if your spine holds the blueprint to your entire spiritual journey? What if every trauma, every breakthrough, every stage of awakening creates a specific energetic pattern that can be read like a map? In this profound conversation, we explore the revolutionary concept that your nervous system’s capacity for safety directly determines how far you can travel on the path of consciousness.

Meet Alec Verkuilen-Brogan, founder of Geometry of Grace and master practitioner of the transformational arts. With decades of study under traditional teachers from Varanasi, India, Alec has developed the rare ability to read the energetic patterns stored in your spine and translate them into precise spiritual development maps. His work bridges ancient wisdom with modern nervous system science, helping people understand exactly where they are on their awakening journey and what specific work is needed to progress to the next stage.

What You’ll Discover:

  • Why your spine is actually the most physical expression of the spiritual world – and how this changes everything about how you approach inner work
  • The shocking truth about why psychedelics create states but not stages – and what you actually need to build lasting spiritual development
  • How to identify your specific “geometry of trauma” – the precise energetic patterns that keep you stuck and exactly where they’re stored in your body
  • Why most people can’t access bliss even when they desperately want to – and the specific interference patterns that block your natural sensitivity to life’s beauty
  • The safety paradox that determines your spiritual ceiling – how your nervous system’s capacity for safety literally controls how much awakening you can handle
  • How to read the developmental map of consciousness – understanding exactly which stage you’re in and what paradigm shift is needed to evolve to the next level
  • Why chasing spiritual highs actually keeps you stuck – and how to identify where you’re spiritually bypassing your real work
  • The moment when personal will becomes divine will – recognizing when you’ve developed enough coherence to trust your desires as cosmic guidance

This conversation is a masterclass in understanding the precise mechanics of consciousness. If you’ve ever felt stuck on your path, wondered why some practices don’t create lasting change, or sensed a deeper map to awakening no one has shown you, this episode will shift how you approach inner work. Alec reveals the hidden geometry behind spiritual growth and gives you tools to read your energetic blueprint. Your spine holds the records of your soul’s journey – it’s time to learn how to read them.
