Healing

In February’s vulnerable and honest reflection episode of Stay Grounded, Raj shares his journey of dismantling the shame and societal conditioning around sexuality, masculinity and relationships. He courageously speaks to the unspoken reality of how his own dating and self-pleasure practices were disconnecting him from his authentic needs and desires, and what resulted when he decided to abstain from those practices for an entire month.

Discover in this episode:

• Why openly discussing taboo subjects like porn, sexuality, and serial dating is essential for collective healing
• How childhood wounding and unmet needs fuel adult behaviors of self-abandonment
• The vital importance of spaces where men can vulnerably share without judgment
• The power of “rooting down” and cultivating intimacy with all our parts, especially hurt inner children
• Why fully feeling challenging emotions is the gateway to genuine behavior change
• How to cultivate shame-free self-awareness and break free from compulsive patterns

If you’ve ever struggled to break a self-defeating habit or release an addiction, this episode offers inspiration to compassionately unwind the roots of these patterns. With candid stories and hard-won insights, Raj illuminates why self-abandonment and unprocessed trauma fuel unconscious behaviors – and how radical self-love and courageous truth-telling create new possibilities.

Raj’s words will remind you that you are not alone. Let this conversation inspire you to courageously speak your own unspoken stories, reach out for support, and take daily steps toward embracing all parts of yourself. Witness how the simple act of naming the shame serves to dissolve its power. Tune in to begin dismantling the barriers to your fullest, most vibrant embodied life.

In this episode, Raj speaks with Sarah Spears about her journey of healing from an eating disorder using emotional release techniques. With over a decade of experience as a licensed therapist, eating psychology coach, EFT practitioner, and certified reiki master, Sarah intimately understands the mind-body connection and has leveraged her journey of recovering from an eating disorder into a passion for helping others achieve freedom from their pain.

A few things they discuss:

• How tapping into long-buried emotions finally enabled Sarah to break free from years of secret bulimia after failed attempts to control her compulsions.
• Why we emotionally eat and abuse substances – the childhood origins of losing touch with our feelings.
• The unexpected mental, physical and spiritual shifts Sarah began experiencing when she found the courage to express anger for the first time.
• How fully feeling rather than feeding our feelings opens conduits to self-trust, embodiment and unconditional self-love.
• Where mindfulness reaches its limit – and how Sarah accessed radical new dimensions of joy and creativity by connecting to her Highest Self.

Sarah guides people to break free from the food addiction cycle by discovering the emotional roots perpetuating their issues and developing skills to healthfully feel, express and release pent up energies for good. This episode offers an integrative approach addressing mind, body and spirit simultaneously so we can transform our inner worlds and outward habits for lasting change.

On this week’s episode, Raj speaks with transformation coach Alyeria Faith about how we can learn to trust our body’s innate wisdom when it comes to healing from emotional wounds and trauma.

Alyeria shares her powerful personal journey of moving through childhood attachment wounds and freeing herself from the binds of past pain. She beautifully articulates how when we can meet our challenging emotions with non-judgment and compassion, we allow space for repressed energy and trauma to move through us, bringing heightened alignment and expansion.

Tune into this soul-stirring conversation to discover:

• Why emotions are not obstacles, but gateways waiting to reveal truths about ourselves in their own unique language.
• Practices like prayer and conscious “pausing” that help rupture the illusion of limitation created by our survival-based minds.
• The incredible difference between healing from a space of lack versus one of empowered wholeness.
• Simple but profound tools to help anchor in presence, cultivate courage, expand inner freedom.

If you find yourself constantly struggling upstream against feelings you just can’t shake or pain that continues its haunting echoes through relationships and daily life, this is an absolutely essential listen. Let Alyeria be your guide to finally coming home in yourself – body, mind and soul.
