Stay Grounded with 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 tra...

“Tuning into silence is just taking time to listen to nothing in particular… just tuning into the simple essence of what is.” The WHO has ranked noise pollution as only second to air pollution in its impact on human well being. Our world has become noisier and noisier. We’re constantly bombarded with stimuli and notifications competing for our attention. As a result, it’s becoming harder than...

“I really feel like I'm getting to that point where I now know when something undesirable is happening, like a trigger it's here to teach me something and it's on me. It's my responsibility to understand what that is.” This episode is my personal reflection for April 2022. Looking back, April was a very triggering month for me. I had a lot of things happening in my work, my relationships, and my r...

“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 courag...

“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 becau...

"You are not anxious. Anxiousness is just present. It's just there. How do we nurture ourselves through the anxiousness and let it be there?" This week’s guest is one of the most magical humans I know. Gina Worful is a registered dietician and a master of human nutrition. Her work in this field is beautifully unique. Gina doesn’t teach meal planning or strict dieting rules but instead empowers her...

“Everything comes back down to this conversation around feeling and healing and learning to go deep within ourselves and remember who we are.”  I’m so pumped to share my monthly reflection for March with you. This was a rich, potent conversation about the path to experiencing deep love and self trust through being present with every feeling that exists within you. There was a time when I live...

“Financially happy is a philosophy or a state of being. It’s this idea that you can be both happy and wealthy now.”  As a society, we’ve guided ourselves into a challenging relationship with money. Money is the thread that flows through EVERYTHING. It’s the ultimate connector that ties us all together. Due to the way society is structured, most of us can’t live without money! Yet, we decided...

“The emotions are just like a little kid – they’re gonna keep coming at us wanting to say what they need to say until they’ve been heard and acknowledged.”  Victor Pierantoni is a top-rated Results Coach who’s worked with hundreds of clients. He’s the founder of Zen Stoic - a method of emotional mastery that blends the timeless wisdom of two ancient schools: Zen Buddhism (from the East) and S...

“it's a new experience of learning to live with my full body and accessing intuition and connecting with truths that are present inside my body and my whole soul, my everything.”  February was a month of potent growth for me. As I explore my emotional triggers to lean deeper into my healing journey, I’ve been able to integrate aspects of my shadow and expand my knowing of who I am.  Look...

“Our ego was created to protect us. It comes up as a protection mechanism.”  Part of our journey through life is to learn to navigate and work with the ego. The ego is a powerful force that can keep us trapped in a victim mindset, unconscious ways of being, and stories and narratives that aren’t conducive to the way we want to live. As a result, it’s tempting to try to ‘kill’ the ego.  B...

“Consciousness doesn't let wonderful things be marginalized.” The energy of intimacy is a powerful way to connect deeper with life. In turn, a quest for intimacy can transform your relationship with everything including yourself, your partner, your work, and the world.  I met this episode’s guest at a retreat for people seeking greater levels of intimacy with themselves and their significant...

“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, J...

“When we choose to go into the darkest aspects of ourselves, change is exponential.”  For me, the first month of 2022 (really the last 5 months) has been infused with shadow work. I want to emphasise that I’ve been fully supported through my journey with mentors and coaches. Shadow work is deep and can be very uncomfortable. It pulls you through emotions and memories that can be hard to hold...

“I don’t think I’ve found any greater amount of growth than I’ve found as a result of choosing to look into the shadow.”  Do you have emotions that you struggle to feel? Is there a dark shadow to your character that you’re reluctant to explore? Have you noticed an undercurrent of anger, shame, or guilt that bubbles to the surface every now and again?  If so, you’re human.  Most of u...

Jena Sophia is a world-renowned Subconscious Specialist and Healer who’s helped thousands of people - in...

“I actually don't want to try to be divine. I want to try to be as human as possible.”  Welcome to the first interview of 2022! Traditionally, this time of year is potent for goal setting because January represents a fresh start.  In the past, I’ve been used to setting clearly defined goals and I’ve had a lot of success with the process. However, as I feel more deeply into a more holisti...

“I knew what I wanted, and I was so afraid that I wasn't going to get it. But when I let myself surrender and just feel the disappointment of not getting it, I ended up getting it.”  This first episode for 2022 has been an entire year in the making. Welcome to my 2021 reflection - a culmination of hours of intentional reflection to extract and share the lessons and insights that life has been...

“It doesn't matter if you're closing out a year or 10 years, the act of closure feels the same.” When I think about my pace of growth, I’m so clear it’s because I’ve cultivated a lifestyle of awareness. This means I intentionally carve out time to reflect on the things that are happening in my life - and how I move through them.  For me, hindsight is 20/20 vision. Reflection reveals all the l...

“The reaction to the trauma doesn’t necessarily stop with the people who experienced it.”  Do you have symptoms that you can’t explain? For example, are you overly anxious for no obvious reason? Do you instinctively push people away or intentionally disassociate from difficult feelings in your body? Do you have irrational fears or thoughts about what could happen that don’t make logical sense...

“I would say mindfulness, as a practice, as a whole, is about waking up to the true experience of life.”  Sara Raymond was in her early 30s when she realised she was drifting through her life aimlessly. Up until this point, her life had been guided by what she felt she ‘should’ do. The feeling of being in the status quo inspired Sara to reinvent her life. This feeling was the beginning of The...

“Growth, to me, is a self-defined concept, because the hardest thing for you might not be the hardest thing for me.”  One of my favorite rituals is the deep-dive reflection I do monthly. I love looking back over everything that happened to pull out the patterns, lessons, and learnings. Best of all, I get to share the highlights with you in this episode. The theme of this month was finding and...
