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:

• Why your nervous system has a biological ceiling when healing happens in isolation - and how to transcend it

• The hidden reason trauma isn't personal but multi-generational, cultural, and civilizational - affecting your capacity for awakening

• How attachment wounds create an invisible barrier to accessing mystical states, no matter how advanced your spiritual practice

• Why even successful therapy can only make you "a functioning member of a dysfunctional culture" - and what comes next

• The evolutionary shift from hero's journey individualism to collective awakening that unlocks planetary consciousness

• How community healing rewires your nervous system in ways solo work cannot achieve

• The integration of cleaning up (healing trauma), growing up (developmental maturity), waking up (spiritual realization), and showing up (service)

• Why understanding humanity as a single organism fundamentally changes your healing trajectory

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:

• Why complete darkness strips away every coping mechanism you rely on daily
• How Traver's mind "broke" around day 9 - and why this was necessary medicine
• The difference between 3-day, 28-day, and 49-day darkness experiences
• What pre-verbal trauma looks like when it surfaces after 6 weeks of isolation
• Why grief became Traver's greatest teacher (and how to surrender to it)
• The moment he thought he had died - and what death actually felt like
• Essential skills needed before attempting any darkness retreat
• How to create intimacy with yourself in just 20 minutes weekly

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.
