Key Takeaways:
The critical distinction between "doing" and "being" - exploring how our modern lifestyle pushes us to fill every moment with activity, making it harder than ever to simply exist in stillness.The transformative power of confronting our inner world - how removing external distractions reveals the patterns, beliefs, and attachments that shape our daily experiences.The practice of expanding awareness - learning to step back from our thoughts and witness the mind's activities from a place of compassionate observation.Embracing uncertainty and flow - moving beyond the need to control outcomes and finding peace in life's natural unfolding, especially relevant in our increasingly unpredictable world.The power of perspective shifts - understanding how our mental frameworks shape our reality and why expanding our viewpoint is essential for personal growth.Finding strength in solitude - discovering the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, particularly meaningful in our hyper-connected digital age.The importance of integrating stillness practices into daily life - why making space for silence and reflection remains crucial for navigating the complexities of 2024 and beyond.In a world that seems to move faster with each passing year, the courage to slow down and embrace stillness becomes increasingly valuable. Through Raj's experience, we see how creating space for silence can lead to profound insights and a deeper connection with our authentic selves. His journey shows us that beneath the constant noise of modern life lies an opportunity to discover who we truly are.
Whether you're considering your first meditation retreat or simply seeking ways to incorporate more mindful moments into your daily routine, this episode offers valuable insights for the journey inward. As we reflect on 2024, Raj's experience reminds us that sometimes the greatest growth comes not from doing more, but from the simple act of being present with what is.

In this powerful episode of Stay Grounded, Raj and Alex explore courage as a fundamental vehicle for awakening and personal transformation. They dive deep into how choosing courage over comfort repeatedly in life not only leads to growth but serves as a catalyst for spiritual evolution. Through vulnerable personal stories and profound insights, they reveal how courage isn't just about taking bold actions, but about being willing to feel the emotions we most want to avoid.
Key Takeaways:
Every moment presents a choice between courage and comfort - growth happens when we consistently choose courageTrue courage often means letting go rather than holding on tighter to our desired outcomesFear can serve as a compass - the things we're most afraid of often point to our greatest opportunities for growthThe path of awakening requires us to feel the emotions we're most afraid of feeling, as this liberates us from their holdOur relationship with uncertainty and death underlies many of our fears around taking courageous actionCourage requires both trust and self-compassion as we navigate the unknownSuccess often comes when we release our attachment to specific timelines and trust in divine timingThe longest journey is from the head to the heart - courage helps bridge this gapReal growth happens when we engage with life rather than trying to control itThe paradox of courage: when we fully accept our worst fears, we become free to receive what we truly wantWhether you're facing a career transition, relationship challenges, or simply feeling called to live more authentically, this episode offers profound insights into harnessing courage as a transformative force in your life. Raj and Alex's vulnerable sharing about their own journeys with courage - from entrepreneurial challenges to relationship fears - provides both practical wisdom and spiritual depth for anyone looking to break free from the limitations of fear and step into a more liberated way of being.

Natalie Adele is a transformational guide and embodiment mentor who has spent the last five years helping women reconnect with their innate feminine wisdom and power. Through her unique approach combining somatic practices, energetic work, and ancient wisdom traditions, she guides women back to their authentic expression of leadership. Moving beyond traditional paradigms of feminine power that often mimic masculine structures, Natalie challenges our modern understanding of feminine leadership and offers women a pathway back to a natural state of power.
Key Topics & Takeaways:
• Discover why the most powerful woman in the room might be the most relaxed one - and what this reveals about true feminine leadership
• The surprising truth about "security vs. safety" and how this distinction changes everything about how we show up in the world
• Why digital clutter might be blocking your feminine power (and the ritual Natalie uses to clear it)
• The "garden metaphor" that completely reframes how we think about feminine development and growth
• What "Soul Yum" is and why it might be the missing ingredient in your leadership journey
• The counterintuitive approach to feminine leadership that has nothing to do with "leaning in" or traditional power structures
• Why the feminine wound of "everyone for themselves" might be holding you back, and how to heal it
• The three energy centers that form the foundation of feminine power (hint: they're not what you might expect)
• A radical new way to think about sisterhood and its role in feminine awakening
This isn't just another discussion about women in leadership - it's a deep dive into what becomes possible when we strip away societal conditioning and return to our innate feminine wisdom. Whether you're a woman feeling disconnected from your feminine essence, someone curious about authentic leadership, or anyone interested in understanding the true nature of feminine power, this episode offers profound insights that go far beyond traditional leadership paradigms. Natalie's approach isn't about adding more to your plate - it's about remembering what you've always known but perhaps forgotten. Don't miss this opportunity to explore what feminine leadership really means in its most sacred and authentic form.

In this illuminating episode of Stay Grounded, Raj Jana and Alex explore the transformative power of relationships as vehicles for spiritual awakening and personal growth. Rather than viewing relationships solely as sources of happiness, they discuss how relationships serve as mirrors that reflect our deepest wounds, beliefs, and patterns - offering unprecedented opportunities for healing and evolution.
Key Takeaways:
Relationships are not meant to make us happy, but to help us grow - happiness is a byproduct of doing the inner workWhere there is a trigger in relationship, there is an opportunity for deep healing and self-discoveryThe quality of our relationships is directly influenced by our beliefs and programming around love, much of which comes from our parents and cultural conditioningIt's easier to blame others or leave relationships than to take radical ownership of our patterns and do the inner workTrue lasting love requires dismantling unhealthy beliefs about "happily ever after" and embracing relationship as a journey of mutual growthBoth partners need to be willing to look at themselves and take ownership of their patterns for the relationship to reach its highest potentialTime spent in a relationship isn't necessarily a measure of success - a 9-year relationship could be 1 year repeated 9 times without growthWhen we do our inner work and heal our wounds, we create space for more authentic and fulfilling connectionsSocial media often shows the highlight reel of relationships while hiding the mountain of inner work required to maintain themThe path to extraordinary love requires courage to examine ourselves honestly and lean into difficult conversationsWhether you're currently in a relationship, healing from heartbreak, or seeking deeper connection, this episode offers profound insights into using relationships as catalysts for awakening. Raj and Alex's vulnerable sharing and practical wisdom illuminate how we can transform our relationship challenges into opportunities for profound personal evolution. If you're ready to move beyond surface-level connections and experience the transformative power of conscious relationships, this episode is your invitation to begin that journey.

In this profound episode of Stay Grounded, host Raj Jana sits down with Dr. Zach Bush to explore the deep interconnectedness of human health, emotional well-being, and our relationship with nature. Dr. Zach Bush, MD, is a renowned physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care. His work integrates a deep understanding of human biology, environmental science, and emotional health. Dr. Bush is a pioneer in the field of intrinsic health, with a focus on the microbiome and its connection to overall well-being. As the founder of the Journey of Intrinsic Health, he advocates for a holistic approach to healing, emphasizing the interdependence of emotional resilience, the microbiome, and planetary health. This conversation delves into the root causes of disconnection in modern society and presents a compelling vision for reconnecting with our intrinsic health.
Key insights from the episode:
The surprising link between human disconnection and ancient historical eventsHow unprocessed emotions become "stored" in specific parts of the body, potentially leading to diseaseThe unexpected way quantum entanglement relates to cellular identity and healingWhy the concept of "emotional hygiene" might be more crucial for health than we've realizedThe intriguing reason Dr. Bush believes humans are uniquely capable of witnessing beauty in natureHow unconditional love might be experienced through both profound joy and heartbreaking lossThe counterintuitive approach to feeling "grounded" that doesn't involve external practices or foodsThe biggest takeaway from this episode is Dr. Bush's perspective on intrinsic health and the power of reconnection. He posits that true healing comes not from external interventions, but from within - by allowing ourselves to fully feel and process our emotions, reconnecting with our bodies, and recognizing the beauty and perfection in nature and ourselves. This shift in perspective from seeking external solutions to embracing our intrinsic capacity for health and wholeness offers a profound and potentially transformative approach to wellbeing.

In this profound episode of Stay Grounded, Raj Jana delves deep into the transformative power of emotional hygiene and its impact on personal growth, relationships, and overall well-being. Reflecting on the past three months of his life, Raj shares valuable insights on how maintaining emotional clarity can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful existence. This conversation with Alex King explores the importance of inner work and its ripple effects on our lives and the world around us.
Key insights from the episode:
• The unexpected benefits of expanding reflection periods from monthly to quarterly
• Why "hurt people hurt people" and how healing ourselves can create positive change
• The connection between emotional hygiene and attracting like-minded individuals
• How courage acts as a catalyst for personal growth and community healing
• The role of self-love in unlocking our innate healing potential

In this powerful episode of Stay Grounded, host Raj sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, a bestselling author, renowned integrative oncologist, and cancer thriver. With over 30 years of experience in the field having supported thousands of patients, Dr. Winters brings a unique perspective to the cancer journey, emphasizing the critical importance of emotional and spiritual healing alongside physical treatment. Together, they explore the often-overlooked aspects of cancer recovery and how inner work can be a transformative force in the healing process.
Key Insights:
• The surprising origin of the "war on cancer" mentality and how it impacts patient outcomes
• Why fear might be the biggest obstacle in cancer recovery, and how to overcome it
• The unexpected benefits some patients find in their cancer diagnosis
• How viewing cancer cells as "sociopaths" can shift your approach to treatment
• The power of curiosity in transforming the cancer experience
• Why some patients struggle to let go of their diagnosis even after remission
• The ripple effect of a cancer patient's inner work on their community and future generations
• How the "f*ck cancer" mentality might be holding patients back from true healing
• The role of self-love in cancer recovery and why it's often overlooked
• Why some of the most effective treatments aren't found in a doctor's office
The inner work of cancer recovery is not just about fighting a disease—it's about embarking on a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. By addressing the emotional and spiritual aspects of healing, patients can not only improve their chances of recovery but also find purpose, self-love, and a new perspective on life that extends far beyond their diagnosis. This episode reminds us that while we can't always control our circumstances, we have the power to choose how we respond to them, and that choice can make all the difference in our healing journey.

In this episode of Stay Grounded, Raj and his partner Natalie take us on a transformative journey through their experience at Burning Man. This annual event in Nevada's Black Rock Desert is far more than just a festival - it's a temporary city built on principles of radical self-expression, communal effort, and gifting. For one week, tens of thousands of participants create art, share experiences, and push the boundaries of their comfort zones in a unique environment that challenges societal norms and personal limitations.
Key insights from Raj and Natalie's Burning Man adventure:
The power of intention-setting in manifesting synchronistic experiencesHow radical self-reliance paradoxically fosters deep community connectionThe unexpected wisdom found in getting lost during a dust stormWhy play and childlike wonder can be profound tools for personal growthThe transformative potential of gifting without expectation of returnHow Burning Man serves as a "maturation ceremony" for many participantsThe delicate balance between sacred rituals and profane celebrationsThe challenge and reward of truly allowing oneself to receiveWhy preparing for Burning Man can be as enlightening as the event itselfHow the playa becomes a mirror, reflecting one's deepest essenceThe biggest takeaway from this episode is the profound personal growth that comes from releasing control and embracing the unknown. Raj and Natalie's experiences highlight how surrendering to the unpredictable nature of Burning Man - and by extension, life itself - opens doors to transformation, deeper connection, and a more authentic way of being. Their journey teaches us that true surrender isn't about giving up, but about opening up to the magic and potential of each moment.
