Stay Grounded with Raj Jana

After 420+ episodes, conversations with some of the world’s brightest luminaries, hundreds of thousands of you reached worldwide, and 50+ deep, vulnerable reflections on my own journey and what I’ve learned along the way, this is my final episode of the Stay Grounded podcast. It’s the end of an era. The most profound dojo for me to develop the skill of asking questions, offering deep presence, and...

For years, I couldn't give myself permission to heal. My parents were good to me. They loved me. By every conventional measure, I had a good life — and that made it almost impossible to look at my own pain and call it what it was. Then I read Mark Wollyn's book and everything shifted. The pain you're carrying doesn't have to have started with you. Your parents went through things. Their parents we...

Nobody taught me how to be vulnerable. Not my parents. Not my teachers. Not the culture I grew up in — where masculinity and emotional openness didn't exactly go hand in hand. I spent years performing a version of myself that looked together, while underneath I was really afraid to be real. I wish someone had handed me a step-by-step guide. I wish someone had sat me down and said: here's why you'r...

What does healing actually look like? Not the concept of it. Not the retreat version of it. Not the highlight reel of someone on the other side of it. The real thing. In real time. On camera. That's what this episode is. Raj guides his dear friend Lindsay Hergott — a brilliant teacher, coach, and leader in her own right — through the Liberate Mapping Process live. No script. No rehearsal. No agend...

What if love wasn't the reward at the end of the journey? What if it was the fuel? Love is not something you fall into or a state you occasionally access on a good day. Love is a resource. Love is a technology. Love is the most advanced, most powerful, most renewable operating system available to every human being alive right now — more potent than ambition, more durable than discipline, more gene...

Nobody warns you about this part. The proposal happens. The ring goes on. Everyone celebrates. And then somewhere in the quiet — maybe that night, maybe a week later — something unexpected surfaces. A fear. A doubt. A version of yourself you thought you'd already healed. And you wonder if it means something is wrong. It doesn't. In this episode, Raj and @thenatalieadele get radically honest about...

What if every heartbreak, every failure, every person who showed up and walked away — was actually pointing you toward your purpose? Most of us move through life reacting to what happens — calling it bad luck, calling it unfair, calling it "just the way things are." But what if you zoomed out far enough to see the pattern? The same type of relationship that keeps showing up. The same wall you keep...

What if the moments you most want to escape are the exact moments that are rewiring you? Most of us were taught to fix, push through, or numb the hard stuff. When conflict hits a relationship, when a business deal falls apart, when fear grips your chest — we run. We reach for the phone, the distraction, the solution. But what if the single most transformative thing you could do in those moments is...

What if everything you've been told about fertility and age is wrong? Dr. Ann Shippy — Board-Certified Internal Medicine physician, functional medicine pioneer, former IBM engineer, and author of the new book The Preconception Revolution (foreword by Dr. Mark Hyman) — joins Raj to shatter the myths keeping couples stuck in fear and share what the science actually says about getting pregnant natura...

What if miracles aren't mystical, they're scientific? Dr. Larry Farwell is a Harvard-trained neuroscientist selected by TIME Magazine to the TIME 100 Top Innovators of the Century—"the Picassos or Einsteins of the 21st Century." The son of a Manhattan Project physicist, he has advised President George W. Bush on counter-terrorism, freed innocent people from prison using brain fingerprinting techno...

What if everything you've been told about disease is wrong? What if your chronic symptoms aren't caused by bad genes, toxins, or bad luck—but by unresolved conflict in your relationships? In this paradigm-shifting episode, Raj sits down with Brandon Bozarth, a practitioner of German New Medicine and biological relating, to explore the revolutionary discovery that ALL disease begins with a "conflic...

What if the reason you feel so exhausted, so unseen, so disconnected from your own life is because you've been abandoning yourself to make everyone else comfortable? In a world that celebrates self-sacrifice and rewards people-pleasing, choosing yourself is a radical act of revolution. In this intimate conversation, Natalie Adele and I break down what it actually means to choose yourself—not as a...

What if your hardest moments this year were never obstacles — but invitations? For five years running, Raj has shared his annual reflection process with thousands of listeners. This year's reflection is different. After navigating a heart-wrenching chapter of pain with his partner Natalie in the first quarter of 2025, dissolving business partnerships, and shedding identities he'd held for years, R...

What if life is a game—and you've been playing it without knowing the cheat codes? Steve Young has spent 37 years studying the Hermetic Principles—ancient universal laws that govern how reality actually works. He's the creator of the Ammortal chamber, a transformational technology that has helped people reverse genetic disorders and experience direct connection with the divine. In this episode, St...

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 wi...

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 psycho...

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 relations...

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 of us (especially 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...

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 The...

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 d...

You crave deep love, but when it shows up, your body goes into lockdown. Your partner is loving, consistent, devoted—yet something inside you tightens. You forget how much they care. You pick fights. You feel safer in chaos than in peace. Sound familiar? This isn't self-sabotage—it's your nervous system protecting you from a love your childhood didn't prepare you to receive. In this raw and intima...

You're doing everything right. The supplements. The protocols. The appointments. But you're still sick. Still exhausted. Still stuck.  Here's the truth nobody's telling you. The people who actually heal aren't following better doctors—they possess four qualities that have nothing to do with medicine. And after witnessing 60+ transformed lives at a groundbreaking health conference, the pattern...

Are you starting something new but feeling stuck in old patterns? The problem isn't the opportunity ahead—it's the unfinished business you're carrying with you. Most people try to move forward while dragging the weight of unclosed chapters, unprocessed emotions, and misaligned relationships. They wonder why new relationships feel like old ones, why career changes don't bring fulfillment, or why su...

You've built the career. Earned the title. Checked all the boxes. So why does success feel like you're wearing someone else's skin? If you've ever felt the weight of a job title that no longer fits, or sensed a growing gap between who you are and what you do, this episode is your permission slip to explore what's underneath. Raj opens up about his own identity crisis as a CEO—and the vision quest...

There's an elephant in the room that's keeping you sick, stuck, and afraid—and almost no one is talking about it. Trauma isn't just the big things that happened to you. It's the feelings that never got expressed. The shame that never got released. The hurt that never got processed. The beliefs you learned about yourself that keep you trapped. The grief you never fully let in. All of it—stored in y...
