Hi all; doing something a little different today. Instead of an interview this week, I've decided to share a story of my own: why I left New York. Now that I have a little distance from living there and have begin to meaningfully work through the ups and downs of what really happened during those ten years, I realized that it was important to share my journey in the week leading up to Thanksgiving. I know many of you are going through big life changes, and from the people I've talked to so far, it seems that the themes of letting go of something you once loved are truly universal. Whether you're in the process of leaving a relationship, a city, a lifestyle, a vocation, or a hobby, the underlying truth is that we are all fundamentally responsible for our own happiness. More importantly, letting go of something this big is truly a process. What matters is that we take ownership of where we re in that process and keep moving forward in it, no matter how painful it may be.Link to transcript: https://thejollyraja.wordpress.com/2019/11/24/why-i-left-new-york/Contact: thejollyraja@gmail.com 

You probably know a few runners in your life; you may even know a few people who have completed a marathon or two. But ultra-runners like Andy Bartelsmeyer are a different breed of athlete. Not only do they run distances that most of us can't even imagine, they commit to their training with a fierce discipline that is truly inspiring. In this interview, Andy and I go in-depth about the culture of ultra-running: from the day to day schedule, the community of running, and how to set goals for two or even three years into the future.

As some of you may know, one of my main hobbies and passions is the study of personality type, specifically the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. In today's episode, I'm speaking with typology expert and entrepreneur Lindsay Johnson. Her YouTube channel, LiJo, explores the ins and outs of the Myers-Briggs system, specifically the INTJ type (which happens to be my type as well!). We talk about personality type as a whole, what each of the four letters means, and how to use your type as a tool for personal growth. We also talk about her new software platform, Snugg, a tool that allows social media influencers to further connect with their followers in a way that is authentic and meaningful.Connect with Lindsay!YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWecz0ehEfc_TJAPMngAN7gSnugg: www.snugg.meConnect with me!thejollyraja@gmail.com 

In today's episode, I have the immense privilege of speaking with "soul coach" Amy Berryhill. To her, the work that she does goes far beyond life coaching because she believes in getting to the emotional and spiritual root of the roadblocks and old wounds that her clients are in the process of working through. In this interview, we talk not only about her history as a yogi and a coach, we also talk about the role that social media plays in personal development these days; in particular, we talk about the idea of the "forever summer" that all of us are expected to live in. If we're constantly trying to produce and perform, it never gives us the opportunity to go inward and embrace our "winter mood," which is a necessary part of any kind of growth.Connect with Amy!www.instagram.com/amy__berryhillwww.amyberryhill.comConnect with me!www.instagram.com/thejollyrajathejollyraja@gmail.com 

I've always deeply admired songwriters. I've been playing guitar and singing since before I could talk, but I never really had a knack for rhyme or lyricism. My guest this week, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Katie Ludden, is kind of the opposite: she's been singing and writing catchy songs since she was a kid, but didn't start playing the guitar until she was twenty-nine. Through dedicated, deliberate daily practice, and the support of her LA songwriting group, she went from being able to play just two chords to performing multiple original songs on a weekly basis. Her latest single, "Liza," is already out, and if you're in the LA area, you can catch her release party on Monday, October 28th at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood.Connect with Katie!www.katieluddenmusic.comwww.instagram.com/katieluddenmusicwww.facebook.com/katieluddenmusichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ICLtYK-NGw ("Liza" on YouTube)Connect with me!www.instagram.com/thejollyrajathejollyraja@gmail.com 

In the wellness space, the practice of Yoga can take many forms, but my guest this week is committed to a truly holistic approach to both yoga and her life. Pranidhi Varshney has been practicing yoga for well over a decade, and she has witnessed firsthand how the space has changed and grown, particularly with the advent of social media. In this episode, we talk about the importance of practice in all areas our life, how being a mother will show you who you really are, the double-edged sword of social media, and, of course, "Insta-Yogis."Connect with Pranidhi:www.yogashalawest.comwww.youtube.com/user/PranidhiVwww.facebook.com/pranidhiConnect with me:www.instagram.com/thejollyraja 

This episode of "Magical Living" features a guest who is unlike any guest I've had so far, at least when it comes to "creative" types. Delano Ponce is now a financial advisor, but he began his professional career in pursuit of playing Major League Baseball. And this wasn't just a pipe dream: he was an All-American, got recruited to play Division I baseball, and was clearly on the right track to go pro. But through a series of unexpected events, he slowly started to realize that the life of a pro athlete probably wasn't in the cards for him, but that everything in his life worked out exactly as it needed to.Connect with Delano:www.facebook.com/delanoponcewww.twitter.com/mcdpizzlewww.instagram.com/mcdpizzleConnect with me:www.instagram.com/thejollyraja 

Today's episode is one that's very special to me, as it features one of my dearest friends, activist and theatre maker Theresa Burns! In addition to being an immensely talented actor, singer, dancer, director, and choreographer, Theresa is also passionate about social justice. As part of "Don't Dream It, Be - An Activist," she's currently directing and singing in a benefit concert for the ACLU at Feinstein's/54 Below in New York City on October 10th at 9:30PM. “Songs from Cult Classics to Benefit the ACLU” features a diverse cast of sixteen singing hits from shows like "Sideshow," "Zanna, Don't!" and "Heathers." In this episode, we talk about why the intersection between art and activism is so important, learning to listen to your gut brain, examining your own blind spots, and much, much more. For tickets or to donate directly to the ACLU:https://54below.com/events/songs-from-cult-classics/ (use code ACLU5 for $5 off)https://www.aclu.org/action/Connect with Theresa and Don't Dream It, Be - An Activist!www.TheresaBurns.netwww.instagram.com/hoomanofchowderhttps://www.instagram.com/dontdreamitbeanactivist/https://www.facebook.com/dontdreamitbeanactivist/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5BDWQubKzqGaOsJm_F-MPQConnect with me!www.instagram.com/thejollyraja

In this episode, I get to speak with multi-faceted artist Aaron Lehr! In this deeply introspective interview, Aaron and I discuss all the ups and downs that come with being an artist. We talk about being influenced by different artists, why Prince's death hit both of us so hard, how to handle (what we see as) rejection, and of course, how to live in the mess of creativity and trusting that when we look back on our body of work that it will have some kind of cohesion.Connect with Aaron!lehrarts.comtheprinceoffairfield.cominstagram.com/theprinceoffairfieldConnect with me!instagram.com/thejollyraja

In this episode of Magical Living, I have the incredible privilege of speaking with Rob Gonzales! He is a professional eSports host and commentator who has travelled across the world hosting events for games like Halo, Super Smash Bros, DOTA, and more. We talk about not only our shared history of gaming going back over 25 years but also about how the gaming community has evolved over time, the importance of building and maintaining that sense of family, and how the lessons we learned as part of that community have shaped who we are and what we love.Connect with Rob!Instagram - @RobAJGTwitter - @RobAJGFacebook - facebook.com/robajgConnect with me!Instagram - @thejollyraja

In this episode of Magical Living, we're talking to sex-positive community builder Shay! They are the co-founder of Playscapes NYC, a consent-driven sex party organization in New York City. We talk not only about consent in the poly community, but also how to improve communication in relationships, gender, sexuality, identity, and learning how to ask for what you really want.Connect with Shay!Instagram - @PlayscapesNYCConnect with me!Instagram - @thejollyraja

On this debut episode of Magical Living, we're speaking with opera singer and teaching artist Anne Slovin!
