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 is undeniable. What separates those who break free from illness and those who stay trapped on the healing hamster wheel forever? The answer will challenge everything you thought you knew about getting well.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why illness is actually a messenger, not an identity—and what happens when you learn to decode what your body is trying to tell you
• The shocking difference between people who heal and those stuck in chronic illness (hint: it's not about access to better doctors)
• What "internal safety" really means and why your nervous system might be sabotaging every protocol you try
• The courage paradox: Why looking at your past won't destroy your life—but avoiding it might be killing you slowly
• How feeling "seen" outperforms hundreds of thousands of dollars in therapies, treatments, and modalities
• Why HRV and cortisol levels reveal the hidden stress you don't even know you're carrying
• The transformational shift from "fixing a problem" to "uncovering a mystery" that changes everything
Your body isn't broken. It's brilliant.
Listen now and discover the four qualities that could finally set you free.
If you're ready to create deep, unwavering internal safety and heal the root traumas keeping you stuck in dysregulation, join Dr. Nasha Winters and I for an exclusive webinar where we show you how to put these principles into practice.

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 success still feels empty. The truth? Transformation isn't complete until you properly close what was.
In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj shares his journey of returning to Austin after five years of self-discovery, moving in with his partner, and completely reimagining his company Liber8. He reveals the often-overlooked art of completion—and why mastering it is the key to creating alignment in everything you do.
In this episode, you'll discover:
The truth is simple but profound: You are enough. You don't need to do more—you need to be held, witnessed, and seen as you release what you've been carrying.
This isn't just another self-help conversation. It's an invitation to give yourself permission to complete, to grieve, to let go—and finally step into full alignment.

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 that helped him separate the labels others gave him from the truth of who he really is.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why the identities we didn't choose often create the most suffering in our lives
• What happens when you write down every label you've ever carried (and why this exercise changes everything)
• How to distinguish between the roles you were given and the ones you actually chose
• Why "I am" without any label attached might be more powerful than you think
• The difference between sourcing power from titles vs. sourcing it from soul
• How letting go of "CEO" opened up a more authentic way to lead • Why expanding beyond one audience (cancer patients) actually aligned him with his true mission
• What humility and vulnerability have to do with stepping into your real identity
Here's the truth: You are so much more than your resume, your role, or what people call you.
The labels you carry either liberate you or trap you—and most of us don't realize we have a choice. If you're navigating a career transition, feeling misaligned in your work, or sensing there's a more authentic version of yourself waiting to emerge, this conversation will help you see the path forward.
Listen to the full episode to learn how to reclaim your identity and build a life that's truly yours.

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 your body—keeps you stuck in cycles of suffering.
After 4 years of research with cancer patients, I discovered this truth: until we address what's actually at the root, we stay on a hamster wheel of healing.
Liber8 isn't just for cancer patients. It's for anyone whose body is breaking, whose symptoms are screaming, whose life is trying to send them a message—but they're looking in all the wrong places.
• The elephant in the room that a $4.4 trillion healthcare system refuses to address
• Why one cancer patient's tumor activated when she finally remembered her trauma
• What "stuck feelings" actually are—and why they're keeping you sick
• The real reason traditional therapy can only take you so far
• Why feeling safe isn't a precursor to healing—it IS the healing
• The 3-step framework (Awareness → Witnessing → Integration) that creates transformation in 12 weeks
• How your body already remembers how to heal once it feels safe
• Why I'm fired up and can't stay silent about this work anymore
If you're tired of running in circles—spending money on therapy, on personal growth and development, on things that don't actually move the needle—and you're ready to finally address what's really keeping you stuck, this episode is for you.
Your body isn't broken. Your life isn't crumbling. All of this is happening to help you meet a part of you that IS the medicine.
Listen now to discover how Liber8's new 12-week program can help you decode the message your body has been trying to send you—and finally break free from the patterns that have kept you sick, stuck, and playing small.

Dr. Amy Albright is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and clairvoyant healer with 23 years of experience reading and transforming the human energy field. She's the co-founder of Holon, where she partners with leading neuroscientists to deliver intensive neurological transformation retreats that produce EEG-verified brain changes in just four days.
But here's what makes Amy different: she doesn't believe in processing trauma. She believes in paradigm shifts so profound that the wound doesn't just heal—it disappears entirely, leaving you stronger, wiser, and more expansive than before.
Most of us have been taught that healing means understanding our problems, labeling our pathologies, and slowly working through the pain. But what if that's the exact reason we stay stuck? What if the mind's need to process keeps us trapped in the story, while the energetic body holds the key to instant liberation?
In this transformative conversation, Raj and Amy dismantle everything you thought you knew about healing and reveal the quantum mechanics of true transformation.
In this episode, discover:
• Why most healing modalities keep you stuck in your story—and what actually creates lasting change
• The "tailbone technique" that activates biological safety in seconds (you can do this anywhere)
• How to identify when you're truly healed vs. when you're still carrying trauma you don't realize
• Why "processing" emotions mentally keeps you trapped—and what the energetic alternative looks like
• The "coordinates method" for flipping paradigms instantly instead of analyzing problems for years
• How to hold space for others' pain without getting pulled into their suffering
• The foundational ingredients required for transformation that most people miss entirely
• Why becoming grounded means remembering you're an "endless soul on an infinite journey"
You are not broken. You never were. You are an energetic being capable of quantum shifts that transcend everything you thought was fixed. This conversation will show you how to stop swimming in circles and start embodying the freedom that's already yours.

There's a paradigm shift happening in healing that most people are missing - and without understanding it, you'll keep hitting the same ceiling no matter how much inner work you do.
You've been told that healing is an individual journey. Fix yourself first, then help others. But what if this entire framework is keeping you stuck at a developmental stage that can never access the deepest states of consciousness, embodiment, and transformation?
Dr. John Churchill - clinical psychologist, 15-year Tibetan meditation practitioner, and founding member of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute - has spent 25 years mapping why individual healing approaches plateau and what actually unlocks the next evolutionary leap in human development.
This Episode Reveals the Missing Key That Changes Everything:
This isn't about adding community to your healing journey - it's about recognizing that the deepest states of consciousness, the most profound embodiment, and the transformation our world needs can only emerge through collective awakening.
Without this paradigm shift, you'll remain in what Churchill calls the "pre-collective" stage of development, unable to access the planetary awareness and heart-centered intelligence that represents the next phase of human evolution.
This conversation doesn't just offer new techniques - it provides the framework that makes all your previous healing work finally integrate and unlock the transformational states you've been seeking.

Meet Traver Boehm: Founder of the UNcivilized men's movement, former bodyguard to billionaires, TEDx speaker, and licensed acupuncturist who has spent 77 cumulative days in complete darkness retreats. After hitting rock bottom following divorce and business loss, Traver transformed his pain into purpose - spending 28 days in pitch-black isolation that fundamentally changed his relationship with death and masculinity. Now, after completing an unprecedented 49-day darkness sit, his new book "28 Days in Darkness" chronicles these profound journeys into the depths of the human psyche.
What You'll Discover:
Traver's journey from rock bottom to spiritual breakthrough reveals that our deepest healing often requires venturing into territories our minds desperately want to avoid. His unflinching honesty about the physical and psychological challenges - from hallucinations to pre-verbal trauma surfacing after weeks of isolation - offers both a sobering reality check and profound inspiration. This conversation will challenge your assumptions about what it means to truly know yourself and why the path to freedom might require temporary surrender of everything you think you control. Listen to discover how one man's extreme practice became a roadmap for accessing the untouchable depths of the human soul.

What if the very thing you're hiding is the key to your healing? In this powerful episode on vulnerability and shame healing, Raj reveals groundbreaking insights from hundreds of thousands of data points at transformation company Liber8, proving shame is the invisible force driving our deepest disconnection and loneliness.
Research shows loneliness impacts health more than smoking daily, and at the root lies shame: believing we're fundamentally flawed and must hide our darkest parts. This transforms how you understand shame and gives you practical tools to heal trauma, build self-compassion, and create authentic connections.
🎯 Vulnerability Psychology - Why things you refuse to share reveal deepest wounds and how vulnerability becomes your pathway to emotional freedom
🎯 Guilt vs Shame Recovery - The life-changing distinction between "I did something wrong" versus "I am wrong" for mental health healing
🎯 Shadow Work & Projection - How judging others mirrors your hidden shame and blocks authentic relationships
🎯 Psychological Safety - What makes someone feel truly safe to be vulnerable and share their deepest truths
🎯 Inner Critic Transformation - How shame-based self-talk sabotages relationships and blocks self-compassion
🎯 Nervous System Healing - The neuroscience of how being witnessed literally rewires your brain for connection
🎯 Trauma Release Techniques - What happens in your body when shame releases and your nervous system finds rest
🎯 Failure Reframing - Transform your relationship with mistakes through self-forgiveness and emotional intelligence
Here's what Raj wants you to know: there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You are worthy of love exactly as you are, and every mistake has shaped the beautiful, complex human you are today.
The shame you carry isn't protecting you—it's blocking the love and connection your soul craves. Here's the liberating truth: shame cannot survive in the light of loving witness and radical self-acceptance.
This is your permission slip to stop hiding. Watch the full episode and discover why the most healing thing you can do is exactly what you're most afraid of: being fully, authentically seen.

Most of us chase healing through endless tools and practices—yet remain stuck and unfulfilled. What if the most powerful healing isn't something you add to your life, but something you align with?
In this episode, Raj shares his journey to discovering "the frequency of alignment"—where safety and aliveness intersect to create a life with wind behind your sails. No amount of meditation can bring you back to center if you're living misaligned. But when you track your unique signal and design rituals around it, everything changes.
🔍 Why do most people confuse chaos with aliveness? The fundamental difference between frenetic energy and true vitality.
🧭 What does your personal "safety signal" feel like? Specific qualities that indicate optimal state versus survival mode.
⚡ How can you create courage by building safety first? The counterintuitive approach to bravery without forcing through fear.
📡 What is "signal tracking" versus traditional reflection? Why focusing on feeling states is more powerful than analyzing actions.
🌪️ Why does life fall apart when you start aligning? Why relationships shift and chaos emerges—and why this is perfect.
🎯 How do you distinguish true alignment from avoiding discomfort? Learn the difference between authenticity and spiritual bypassing.
☕ What role do physical rituals play in anchoring insights? How Raj uses ceremonial tea to embody principles and set daily frequency.
🚀 How do you know when to wait versus take aligned action? Understanding when to push forward versus trust the process.
Are you ready to stop pushing the boulder uphill and design rituals that keep you in the frequency where life flows through you? When you prioritize your wellbeing and choose yourself, you don't just heal—you become a gift to everyone around you. Listen to discover your unique alignment frequency and learn to protect it like your life depends on it.

Alexa Rosenthal is the co-founder of Eco University, where she built a multi-million dollar herbalism program after receiving guidance from plant medicine to "make plants sexy again." But behind her entrepreneurial success was a 20-year journey with antidepressants that began at age 16. After seven failed attempts to get off SSRIs, Alexa finally found a path to freedom through sacred witnessing, grief work, and learning to trust her body's natural capacity to feel. Now eight months medication-free, she's courageously sharing the raw reality of what worked—and what didn't—in her healing journey. Through radical vulnerability and honest storytelling, she's pioneering a new model of feminine leadership that refuses to hide the messy, non-linear path of authentic transformation while demonstrating that regulation, not performance, can be the foundation for sustainable creation.
What You'll Discover:
Your vulnerability is not your weakness. It's your gift.
If you're feeling the call to trust what your body is telling you—whether about medication, relationships, career, or anywhere you've been outsourcing your power—you're not alone in this work.
The courage to feel fully, ask for help, be seen in your mess, and trust your body's wisdom over external validation is the revolution our world needs right now.
Listen to discover the practical tools and raw honesty that can support your own path to wholeness.

What if your spine holds the blueprint to your entire spiritual journey? What if every trauma, every breakthrough, every stage of awakening creates a specific energetic pattern that can be read like a map? In this profound conversation, we explore the revolutionary concept that your nervous system's capacity for safety directly determines how far you can travel on the path of consciousness.
Meet Dr Alec Verkuilen-Brogan, founder of Geometry of Grace and master practitioner of the transformational arts. With decades of study under traditional teachers from Varanasi, India, Alec has developed the rare ability to read the energetic patterns stored in your spine and translate them into precise spiritual development maps. His work bridges ancient wisdom with modern nervous system science, helping people understand exactly where they are on their awakening journey and what specific work is needed to progress to the next stage.
What You'll Discover:
This conversation is a masterclass in understanding the precise mechanics of consciousness. If you've ever felt stuck on your path, wondered why some practices don’t create lasting change, or sensed a deeper map to awakening no one has shown you, this episode will shift how you approach inner work. Alec reveals the hidden geometry behind spiritual growth and gives you tools to read your energetic blueprint. Your spine holds the records of your soul’s journey – it’s time to learn how to read them.

In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, we're forgetting the most sophisticated intelligence system ever created—the one inside your own body. While AI processes information, ancient intelligence processes life itself: healing wounds, creating connection, and generating the aliveness that makes existence meaningful. But here's the problem: most of us have been systematically disconnected from this intelligence since childhood, leaving us numb, anxious, and searching for answers outside ourselves.
Steven Jaggers is the founder of Somatic Breath Work and a pioneer in the nervous system regulation movement. With over 3,000 practitioners trained across 40+ countries, his work is now accredited by Arizona State University for continuing education credits. A former neuromuscular therapist, Steven has spent years studying the intersection of physical alignment, emotional regulation, and human connection. His unique approach combines Eastern somatic practices with Western neuroscience to help people reclaim their birthright: the ability to feel fully alive in their own bodies.
• Why numbness is actually an active process that's draining your life force – and the counterintuitive truth about why it takes more energy to suppress your feelings than to feel them
• The "Attunement Code": How to host another human inside yourself – the meta-skill that data shows is more healing than any technique, tool, or modality
• Why your nervous system regulation isn't about staying calm – it's about developing choice, and the surprising reason most people are stuck in the anxiety-depression ping-pong cycle
• The parasitic tension stealing your energy – how unconscious muscle contractions are robbing power from your healing, creativity, and aliveness (and how to redirect that energy)
• Why healing trauma alone is actually impossible – the science of co-regulation and why your wounds from people can only be healed with people
• The "Completion Principle" that changes everything – how somatic breathwork helps your nervous system finish the stress responses that trauma interrupted
• How to tell if someone is safe using your nervous system – the congruence test that reveals when someone's words don't match their internal state
• The four meta-skills of human intelligence – alignment, attunement, holding space, and range – that no AI can replicate and why mastering them is your greatest advantage in the age of artificial intelligence
Your nervous system holds the key to healing, connection, and true aliveness—if you know how to access it. In this episode, Steven distills years of research and client work into practical insights you can use right away. Whether you're facing anxiety, feeling off, or seeking more from life, this is your roadmap. Tune in and discover why your ancient intelligence may be the most vital skill of the decade.

• The simple daily test that reveals whether you're expanding toward your purpose or contracting away from it
• How rejection becomes "redirection" when you understand you're planting seeds that may bloom years later

What if everything you've been taught about consciousness is backwards? In this mind-expanding conversation, Raj sits down with Mark Gober—Princeton graduate, former Silicon Valley strategy partner, and author of seven groundbreaking books—who went from hardcore materialist to consciousness researcher after discovering peer-reviewed scientific evidence that completely shattered his worldview. Mark has spent nearly a decade diving deep into the research that mainstream science doesn't want you to see, and what he's uncovered about the nature of reality, consciousness, and your soul's role in designing your life will leave you questioning everything.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why Nobel Prize-winning physicists believe consciousness is fundamental and matter is just a derivative—and what this means for how you experience reality
• The University of Virginia's 2,500+ documented cases of children remembering past lives, complete with birthmarks that match historical death records (and why this changes everything about medicine)
• How your brain functions more like a radio antenna receiving signals than a computer generating thoughts—and how to tune into higher intelligence
• The specific body sensations that signal when you're in alignment versus living a lie (and why ignoring these signals literally makes you sick)
• Why the beliefs you inherited from family, school, and society might be keeping you trapped in someone else's reality—and how to identify what's actually yours
• The difference between intuition, channeling, and psychic phenomena (plus how to distinguish between fear and genuine inner knowing)
• Mark's "falsification method" for questioning any belief system without needing to have all the answers—a skill that could save you years of living someone else's truth
• How to practice "holding the gold"—why rushing to share insights before they're fully integrated actually waters down your deepest wisdom
This isn't just another consciousness conversation—it's a scientifically-backed roadmap for recognizing that your soul chose this exact life experience, and how to live in alignment with that deeper intelligence. If you've ever felt like reality is more mysterious than we're taught, or if you've had experiences that don't fit the mainstream worldview, this episode will give you both the permission and the scientific foundation to trust what you already know deep down. Get ready to see your life—and your role in it—in a completely new way.

Do you find yourself constantly saying "I'm sorry" for taking up space, speaking your truth, or simply being yourself? If you're trapped in endless cycles of apologizing, people-pleasing, and seeking forgiveness from others, you're not alone—and more importantly, you're looking for healing in all the wrong places. In this eye-opening episode, Raj and Alex reveal why your compulsive need to apologize is actually a symptom of a deeper wound, and how shifting your forgiveness practice inward is the key to breaking free from chronic people-pleasing forever.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why constantly apologizing to others is actually a sign that you haven't forgiven yourself (and how this keeps you stuck in victim mode)
• The hidden inner critic that's driving your need for external validation—and how to transform it from your worst enemy into your greatest ally
• How Raj's pattern of "I'm sorry for being too much" was actually his inner child crying out for self-acceptance
• The revolutionary shift from seeking forgiveness from others to facilitating forgiveness between the parts of yourself
• Why your guilt about advocating for yourself reveals exactly where you need to do inner healing work
• The Ho'oponopono practice that stops the apologizing cycle by directing "I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you" toward yourself
• How to parent your inner child in the ways you desperately crave from others—so you stop seeking that validation externally
• The counterintuitive truth that taking full responsibility for your reality (including forgiving yourself) actually gives you more power and choice in your life
If you're exhausted from walking on eggshells, over-explaining yourself, and carrying guilt for simply existing, this episode will show you how to break the cycle. It's time to stop apologizing for who you are and start healing the relationship that matters most—the one you have with yourself.

Ever notice how the same type of person keeps showing up in your life? Or how you find yourself in eerily similar situations over and over again, wondering "Why does this keep happening to me?" What if we told you there are actually two hidden curriculums running your life - and only one of them is truly yours? In this episode, Raj reveals the invisible map your soul has been drawing through every relationship, challenge, and "coincidence" you've experienced, and how understanding this changes everything about how you navigate your future.
The Two Hidden Forces Controlling Your Reality: There are two invisible curriculums running your life simultaneously - and 99% of people are completely unaware of the second one
Why You Can't Shake That Restless Feeling: That persistent pull toward something different isn't anxiety or dissatisfaction - it's actually something much more profound trying to communicate with you
The Most Uncomfortable Truth About Your Life: There's a perspective about responsibility that will either completely liberate you or make you want to run away - but you can't unsee it once you know
The Single Question That Reveals Everything: One simple filter exposes which invisible curriculum is running your life in any given moment - and changes how you'll make every decision moving forward
Why You're Unconsciously Addicted to Struggle: There's a hidden psychological reason we make things harder than they need to be - and it has nothing to do with what you think
The Secret Code Hidden in Your Recurring Patterns: Your repetitive experiences aren't random - they're following a precise blueprint that can be decoded once you know what to look for
What You Think Is Destiny Might Actually Be Programming: Most people mistake one thing for another when it comes to their life patterns - and this confusion keeps them stuck in cycles they could actually break
The Evolutionary Pattern You've Never Noticed: There's a specific way your challenges evolve over time that reveals something profound about your spiritual development - once you see it, everything makes sense
Ready to stop being the victim of your own patterns and start consciously creating your reality? This conversation will completely shift how you see every challenge, relationship, and "coincidence" in your life. Raj breaks down exactly how to map your soul's journey and step into your role as the conscious creator you were born to be. Listen to the full episode to discover which curriculum has been running your life - and how to finally align with the one that's authentically yours.
