S2 EP124. Raj Jana: What If Nothing in Your Life Is Random? How to Decode Your Soul’s Purpose (Repost)

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 hitting at work. The same feeling that follows you no matter how much you try to outrun it.

What if none of it was random — and all of it was trying to teach you something?

In this episode, Raj introduces a simple but powerful idea: your life has a purpose, and that purpose is hidden inside the very experiences you wish never happened. He breaks it down into two layers — the lessons you’re here to heal from and the life you’re here to step into — and explains why most people stay stuck in the first layer without ever realizing there’s a second one waiting for them.

What You’ll Discover:

  1. Why the same painful patterns keep repeating in your life — and what they’re actually trying to show you about your deeper purpose
  2. The difference between the wounds you’re here to heal and the life you’re here to build — and why understanding both is the key to finally moving forward
  3. Why “just the way I am” is the most expensive belief you’ll ever carry — and the mindset shift that puts your life back in your hands
  4. The moment Raj realized that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice — and the simple distinction that changed everything
  5. How to use your past as a map — a reflection practice that helps you connect the dots and see the deeper intelligence behind what you’ve been through
  6. Why trusting yourself enough to try something new — even without a guarantee — is the real work most personal growth skips over
  7. The reason your life might feel like it’s falling apart right now — and why that breakdown could be the setup for the version of you that’s trying to emerge
  8. How to stop waiting for permission, clarity, or the “right time” and start walking toward the life that’s been calling you all along

If you’ve ever felt like there has to be more to life than what you’re experiencing — like there’s a reason behind the struggle that you just can’t see yet — this episode will help you see it. Press play and start connecting the dots.

S2 EP123. Raj Jana: My Best Decisions, Worst Moments, and Biggest Lessons from January — The Engagement, Nervous System Rewiring, and The One Practice That Changed How I Handle Fear

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 the one thing nobody taught you: just be in it?

In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj sits down with his close friend Nasya Miller in Nosara, Costa Rica to unpack a month that included getting engaged, navigating business pivots, sitting in emotional turbulence with his partner, and discovering a weekly practice that changed the way he digests life. This isn’t theory — it’s wisdom from the trenches of building a business, deepening love, and learning how to die well so you can actually live.

What You’ll Discover:

  1. Why a neuroscientist says the moment you’re most triggered is the exact moment you’re most neuroplastic — and how to use that to rewire yourself in real time
  2. The ancient weekly practice that gave Raj a rhythm of rest and reflection he didn’t know he was missing — and how it accelerated his integration
  3. What it felt like to close “a thousand timelines” by getting on one knee — and why that single choice rearranged everything
  4. The difference between knowing something is a gift and actually feeling it as one — and what shifts when that gap finally closes
  5. Why your triggers aren’t your partner’s fault, and the specific reframe that moves you from blame to liberation in seconds
  6. How to access the intuitive guidance of your future self — the father, the leader, the 86-year-old version of you who’s already been through this
  7. The surprising question a mentor gave Raj that reoriented his entire relationship with uncertainty: “What miracles are about to arrive in my life today?”
  8. Why getting better at “dying” — letting old identities, plans, and beliefs dissolve — is the single most important skill for anyone navigating change

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, transition, or emotional intensity and you’re wondering how to stay rooted in playfulness, hope, and trust while everything shifts around you — this episode is your permission slip to stop fixing and start feeling. Press play and let this reflection meet you exactly where you are.

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

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

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

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
