To mark the first official full-length episode of Stay Grounded Season 2, I’m bringing you my reflection for July - a super vulnerable month of closures, deep questions, and surrendering to forces beyond my control, which challenged my ego in every way.   Tune in now and hear Georgina and I explore: What shifts when you choose to feel the things you’re most afraid of? Taking the medicine of surrender. Making the decision to close my coffee club. The power of accessing future versions of myself in the quantum. Exploring the cycles of death and rebirth.The interaction of soul, ego, and universal timelines.  Daring to dream and asking the universe for what you want. The work of evolving as a soul.Working through my core wound with Liber8’s processes. And more…As I continue along my awakening path, I’m more and more clear that we evolve in a spiral. This is why we often feel a hint of familiarity when facing challenges and growth opportunities. Same core wound, but a different perspective and entry point. A test from life. Have you really learned the lesson, or is there something deeper to excavate and resolve? Such is the curriculum of the soul. The soul is endless and moves on an infinite timeline. Yes, the ego can get frustrated, scared, or shamed when it feels it should be someone else, doing something else. But the soul knows better. The soul knows that parts of it must die before new versions can be born. The soul knows that surrendering to what wants to happen is the most effective medicine for the nervous system. The soul knows the truth. The question is, can we hold true to what’s real, authentic, and aligned - especially in the face of challenge? July gave me a ton of opportunities to help integrate these principles and deep concepts, and I’m excited to share it all with you when you tune in.LinksLiber8InstagramDisclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to replace professional mental health support.

After almost five years of podcasting and nearly 300 episodes recorded, I am excited to announce…Season 2 of Stay Grounded!It's been over 5 years since I launched Stay Grounded. The show started out as a tagline for my first company, JavaPresse, with the intention to inspire you to infuse more passion and fulfillment into your daily life.As beautiful of an intention that is, I have had a hard time sticking to it. As I evolved over the years, so did the show. The questions I asked shifted as I navigated incredible highs and debilitating lows. Through business failures and breakups. Through peak experiences and adventures. Through profound transformations and evolutions.Who I am is not the same young man that began down this path. As I was reflecting on this, I realized I haven’t updated the branding, intro, outro, or feel of the podcast to align with who I am today and what I'm most passionate about stewarding into the world.Hence, the revampSeason 2 will have the same caliber of amazing guests, same depth, and the same Raj you’ve grown to know and love. But instead of just helping you STAY grounded throughout your day, we'll be sharing perspectives to help you BECOME the most grounded, whole, liberated versions of yourself that you can possibly be.Thank you all for being part of my journey. Thank you for giving me the gift of your attention. So excited to share what's coming next. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What’s been true in my life is that when I declare something to the Universe, the Universe tests me. June has been a wild testing ground for growth, healing, and expansion as I followed through on my commitment to investing in 100 days of Raj. The month has been a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences as I’ve navigated my relationship transition alongside some really big business challenges. As always, I’ve stayed true to my desire for reflection, which means I’ve been able to extract some powerful insights. And I’m excited to share them with you in this episode. Tune in now and hear Georgina and I explore: The power of choosing to believe that your story is still being written.My process for asking questions that get to the core of who you are and what you actually desire. Learning to distinguish between intuition and fearWhat happened when I created a contract with Spirit. Specific ways that June taught me to deepen my faith in God. Disciplines for bringing you back on track when you fall into an unhelpful spiral. The subtle but significant difference between freedom and liberation. How I learned that I’m unconditionally deserving of love.The power of spiritual forgiveness. And more…It’s not always easy to keep your heart open through challenges, disappointments, and pain. What I’ve discovered is that there is ALWAYS wisdom in your present moment experience. Cultivate the courage to be fully with yourself -- in all the emotions of the present -- and once you’ve processed the feelings, you’ll arrive in the realm of insight, intuition, and clarity. I’m learning that I can hold more of life than I ever thought possible, and that’s making me stronger, surer, and more loving of myself. I hope that by sharing what’s working in the trenches of my life, you find something that can inspire your own journey. It’s why I keep showing up month after month and why I’m so grateful for you.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a re-release of an episode with one of my favorite human beings on the planet. I’m currently re-reading his book and the wisdom shared in this episode is timely for myself.“When we begin to understand that our challenges are there to point us in certain directions so that we will focus on those specific things in our lifetime, then it's exactly what we need to be working on.” Ron was one of the first teachers that taught me to go within for the answers, the awareness, and the healing. His impact on me was profound. In this conversation, we explore the intense wisdom that your soul’s curriculum has as you navigate this incarnation on earth. Tune in now to hear Ron and I explore: Understanding the concept of a soul emergence. What self-care is and what it isn’t. How to know what’s your truth. The concept of: Do unto yourself what you would do to others. Using breath to release stored emotion safely.Claiming self as the main prize.Ron’s experience of doing an audible recording of his book. And more… There’s so much freedom in discovering what our souls are here to experience. There’s so much peace in understanding that our wounding is here to help us learn specific lessons to expand and evolve us. In this beautiful episode, Ron helps us remember the depth of truth that can be found inside. After all, when we know it’s there, we feel compelled to go and find it.Contact Info:Check out Ron’s site - https://www.ronbaker.netGet Ron’s book on Amazon - Bright Lights, Big Empty. We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

When confronted with adversity, it is natural to tense up and resist what is happening. But what if there’s a more intuitive approach to managing adverse life experiences that leaves you feeling emotionally resilient, connected to forces unseen, and held by the graceful hands of life? Bailee Buckedorff’s life turned upside down when she lost her husband to suicide and was left to tend to her 3 young children on her own. Shortly afterwards, she “fell” into an opportunity to learn from and be held by Guru Singh, a celebrated 3rd generation yogi and master spiritual teacher. Fast forward 4 years, Bailee is now the founder of 13 Moons - an online community that showcases a library of Guru Signh’s teachings and provides tools like guided meditations and kundalini to help you stay grounded through a daily spiritual practice. This podcast is the story of a woman who has allowed herself to be led by spirit through the darkest of times. She fell into entrepreneurship through seemingly divine orchestration, by listening to what wants to happen and acting in the direction of what she hears. We discuss the power of slowing down in times of adversity, using reflection as a tool for growth, and the power of operating in life through the lens of your unique design. Hope you guys enjoy it.Resources mentioned13 Moons Website - https://the13moons.studio/Guru Singh’s Website - https://gurusingh.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
