S2 EP116. Dr. Zach Bush: The Courage to Feel – How Embracing Pain Becomes the Doorway to Infinite Freedom (Repost)

23 December 2025 by Raj Jana

What if the thing you’ve been running from your entire life is the exact doorway to your freedom?

Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician who spent 17 years in academic medicine—running ICUs, bone marrow transplant units, and managing end-stage disease—before discovering that the root of nearly all illness traces back to one thing: stuck emotions. His work now bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, revealing how we’ve turned natural feelings into toxic emotional constructs that can’t metabolize through our systems.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

→ The profound difference between feelings and emotions—and why one heals while the other gets stuck

→ Why emotions are the “high fructose corn syrup” of feelings and what that means for your body

→ What unconditional love actually feels like (hint: it’s not the warm fuzzy sensation you think)

→ How the victim-perpetrator cycle keeps you trapped—and the one shift that breaks you free

→ Why nature has no purpose—and what that means for your obsession with finding yours

→ The reason your grief, heartbreak, and pain aren’t problems to solve but waves to ride

→ How to move from “life is happening to me” to “life is happening as me”

→ The one regenerative act that opens the floodgates for nature to restore everything

You are not broken for feeling everything so deeply. You are an infinite soul in a finite body, which means you signed up for constant loss—and constant falling in love. The sunsets. The people. The moments. To be alive is to grieve and marvel in equal measure. And the courage to feel—fully, without resistance—is the medicine this world needs most. Listen now and remember what it means to truly feel your way through this one precious life.

S2 EP115. Annie Lalla: What Brilliant People Get Wrong About Love – The Relationship Skills No One Taught You

17 December 2025 by Raj Jana

You’ve done the work. You’ve built the career, gone to therapy, read the books. So why does love still feel like the one area where your brilliance doesn’t translate?

Annie Lalla is a relationship cartographer with an Honors Science Degree in Biology and Philosophy, a minor in Buddhism, and professional certifications in Coaching, NLP, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Her work weaves evolutionary psychology, integral theory, intergenerational family systems, and therapeutic sexuality into a framework that actually works. She helps singles done with dating find their person—and couples in love resolve the conflicts that keep them stuck. Her mission: help you build a relationship that’s a trampoline for your dreams and a sanctuary for your heart.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

→ Why women are actually the visionary leaders of relationships—and what happens when they wait to be rescued instead

→ The reason your partner triggers you so intensely (hint: you’ve time-traveled back to childhood)

→ How to know if overwhelming emotions are actually yours—or inherited pain you’ve been carrying for someone else

→ The simple practice that releases feelings that aren’t yours back to their rightful owner

→ Why conflict is actually a collaboration trying to happen—and how to use it to strengthen your bond

→ The “WTF to MLK” method that transforms criticism into an invitation your partner can’t refuse

→ What your partner is really doing when they challenge you (think Michelangelo carving David)

→ The one question that reveals whether a relationship is worth the growth it demands

Here’s the truth: The love you’re looking for exists. But it won’t come from rescue. It won’t come from finding someone who finally “gets it” so you don’t have to feel your feelings anymore. True love is the emotional CrossFit of human existence—and it’s rare because most people are chasing happily ever after instead of alive ever after. The fantasy says love should be easy. The truth says love is the highest game you can play as a human being. You have everything you need to lead.

Listen to the full episode and let Annie show you how.

S2 EP114. Raj Jana: 3 Steps to Transform Anxious Attachment and Finally Feel Secure in Love

10 December 2025 by Raj Jana

You sent the text. Now you’re spiraling. Rereading it. Analyzing their response time. Convincing yourself you said too much, came on too strong, ruined everything. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re running on outdated childhood wiring—and it’s time to update the code.

In this raw solo episode, Raj shares his personal journey from crippling relationship anxiety after a nine-year relationship to finally feeling secure in love. No fluff. No generic advice. Just the actual map he walked to heal patterns of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and the constant fear of saying the wrong thing.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

→ Why your anxious attachment isn’t a flaw—it’s a child frozen in your nervous system between ages 4-7

→ The reason meditation and talk therapy alone can’t heal relationship anxiety

→ How the wiring you developed to survive childhood is now sabotaging your adult relationships

→ The counterintuitive truth: you can’t heal attachment wounds alone because you didn’t get them alone

→ A simple reframe that transforms how you relate to your anxiety (hint: it involves compassion, not control)

→ The exact script Raj uses to communicate vulnerability without self-abandoning

→ Why risking losing the other person is actually the path to keeping them

→ What becomes possible when you finally stop operating from outdated programming

You’re not too much. You’re not too needy. You’re carrying pain that was never yours to hold in the first place. This episode is your permission slip to put it down—and your roadmap to relationships that actually feel safe. Listen now and take the first step toward secure love.

S2 EP113. Natalie Adele: Why You Can’t Speak Your Truth – A Woman’s Guide To Reclaiming Your Voice and Being Seen Without Fear

3 December 2025 by Raj Jana

What if the reason you can’t speak your truth isn’t suppression at all—but complete disconnection from what your truth even is?

In this intimate conversation, Raj sits down with his beloved Natalie Adele to explore why so many women have lost access to their authentic voice. It’s not that you’re choosing to stay silent. It’s that you’ve been severed from the body, the heart, and the stillness where truth actually lives. This is your guide to finding your way back.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why suppression isn’t the real problem—and what disconnection has to do with your silence
The surprising place where feminine truth actually lives (hint: it’s not your mind)
What we’re really afraid of when we fear being seen—and why confidence dissolves that fear
How childhood micro-moments slowly dialed down your life force without you realizing
The difference between being seen and being truly known
Why “sorry” and “sorrow” share the same root—and what that reveals about your energy
The practice of “dropping anchor” that rebuilds trust with yourself
How reclaiming your voice transforms the way men respond to you

Your voice was never lost. It’s waiting to be reclaimed. The truth you’ve been afraid to speak, the emotions you’ve been afraid to feel, the version of yourself you’ve been afraid to reveal—they’re all still there.

Underneath the noise. Underneath the conditioning. Underneath every moment you made yourself smaller to feel safe.

This episode is your invitation to come home to yourself.

S2 EP112. Dr David Clarke: 55 Years of Pain Gone in 30 Days – The Science of Stress Illness

26 November 2025 by Raj Jana

What if 40% of the patients walking into doctor’s offices have real, debilitating symptoms—but nothing physically wrong with their bodies?

Dr. David Clarke has spent decades proving this isn’t “all in your head.” It’s in your brain—and it’s changeable. After treating over 7,000 patients with mysterious chronic conditions, earning Doctor of the Year honors, and authoring the groundbreaking book They Can’t Find Anything Wrong, Dr. Clarke has become one of the leading voices in stress illness recovery. His work reveals why gold-standard research centers are now showing remarkable outcomes for conditions that baffled medicine for generations.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why your chronic symptoms might be a form of communication from your mind
The surprising childhood patterns that predict adult illness decades later
How one woman’s 60 hospitalizations ended when she identified a single trigger
The “butterfly on the wall” exercise that unlocks buried emotional truth
Why writing a letter you never send can eliminate years of physical pain
The personality traits that make mentally strong people more vulnerable to stress illness
How the brain physically changes when emotional wounds are finally addressed
The missing self-care skill that prevents full recovery

If you’ve been suffering for months, years, or even decades with symptoms that doctors can’t explain… if you’ve been told “there’s nothing wrong” while your body screams otherwise… this episode is your permission slip to believe what you’ve always sensed: your pain is real, AND there’s a way out.

Dr. Clarke’s patients have recovered from 55 years of abdominal pain. From decades of unexplained symptoms. From conditions so severe they required hospitalization and round-the-clock morphine. Not through more tests or medications—but by finally understanding what their bodies were trying to say.

The most powerful truth in this conversation? You’re not broken. You’re not weak. You’re actually stronger than average—you’ve just been carrying weight no one should have to carry alone. And once you learn to set that weight down, you don’t just lose the pain. You gain the life you were always meant to live.

🎧 Listen now—because the body that’s been speaking to you in symptoms is waiting to speak to you in healing.

S2 EP111. Raj Jana: Is It Safe to Feel Safe? How Childhood Trauma Makes Healing Feel Dangerous

20 November 2025 by Raj Jana

Your body is screaming for rest, but the moment you try to slow down, every alarm in your system goes off. Why does stillness feel like a threat?

Because while you’re chasing tangible solutions, your nervous system is running on an invisible map—one created when you were 3 years old. A map that says: the world is dangerous, don’t let your guard down. And that map is keeping you sick.

Most people don’t realize that safety itself feels dangerous. The moment symptoms improve, you’re waiting for them to come back. The moment you start to relax, panic sets in. This isn’t self-sabotage. This is your nervous system operating on outdated programming—and it’s triggering something called Cell Danger Response at the cellular level.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why your nervous system learned that feeling safe is actually dangerous—and how this contradiction is manifesting in your body right now

• The unconscious “safety map” created between ages 0-7 that still dictates your healing capacity as an adult

• How Cell Danger Response keeps your cells in defense mode, blocking detox, energy production, and healing—no matter what supplements you take

• The survival strategies you developed (perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing) that saved you then but are destroying your health now

• Why you can’t think, supplement, or protocol your way out of nervous system dysregulation

• The three pillars of true nervous system transformation: Awareness, Witnessing, and Integration

• Why relational medicine (being seen and held by safe others) is more powerful than any biohack

• How one woman raised her HRV from the 30s to the 90s in 90 days using this exact framework
