Podcasts about becoming whole

Hey friend, welcome back. In this week's solo episode, I'm sharing a bit more of my backstory and what shaped me into who I was and became. You'll hear some of the triumphs and defeats in my own life that taught me how to think, feel, and heal.  With my kids away for a bit, I've had space to reflect and reset, and I wanted to bring you into that moment with me. This isn't just a personal update. It's a deeper dive into how I became the woman, coach, and creative catalyst I am today. I talk about growing up in a religious household, navigating trauma and depression, and how chronic suicidal ideation has shaped my perspective in both quiet and powerful ways. But this is not a heavy episode. It's real. It's hopeful. It's a reminder that healing isn't about erasing the past — it's about reclaiming yourself through it.

In today's deeply divided world—marked by polarized politics, global tensions, and fractured communities—is the aspiration for "wholeness" realistic or even desirable? In this thought-provoking episode of Integral Edge, Keith Martin-Smith sits down with executive coach and consciousness explorer David Arrell to explore what it truly means to become whole, both personally and collectively, amid ongoing division and conflict. The conversation begins by acknowledging an uncomfortable truth: human beings have always "othered" one another, creating deep divisions over seemingly trivial differences—illustrated vividly through the satirical example of Jonathan Swift's kingdoms warring over how to crack an egg. Yet, as Keith and David unravel this tendency, they uncover a profound evolutionary logic behind our innate impulse to distrust and exclude "others" outside our tribe. From early hunter-gatherer societies protecting themselves from existential threats to vast empires maintaining cohesion through myths and collective identities, "othering" is a deeply ingrained survival strategy. But does this mean we're doomed to division forever? David introduces the concept of "fictive kinship," where humans form collective bonds through shared stories, myths, and identities, enabling large-scale cooperation across cultures and history. However, as our conversation shifts into a developmental perspective, the limitations and dangers of this instinctual "othering" become clear, especially when we regress into lower stages of consciousness during times of intense polarization. Drawing upon Integral Theory and the developmental frameworks of Robert Kegan and Terri O'Fallon, Keith and David discuss how the same moral teachings—like the Golden Rule—can be interpreted very differently depending on one's developmental stage. At a rule-based, "Amber" stage, the injunction to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" often devolves into revenge-driven cycles. Yet at a more rational, individualistic "Orange" stage, it fosters genuine reciprocity and empathy. The crucial insight here is understanding how easily individuals at higher stages can regress, or "shadow crash," into these simpler and more combative perspectives when emotionally triggered—particularly visible in political polarization around figures like Donald Trump. Join Keith Martin-Smith and David Arrell in this timely and deeply reflective conversation as they offer practical wisdom, inspiring perspectives, and genuine hope for navigating—and ultimately transcending—the divisions that mark our contemporary moment.

If you've ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or like you're stuck in patterns you can't explain—this episode is for you. You're not broken. You're not failing. You're simply disconnected from the truth of who you really are.In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Dan Siegel—world-renowned psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and bestselling author—joins Raj to reveal the science of reconnection. Together, they uncover how trauma, culture, and outdated ideas of the "self" have fractured our inner world—and how we can reclaim wholeness, purpose, and power.This isn't just about mental health. This is about healing the disconnection between your mind, your body, and something bigger.In this episode, you'll learn:The revolutionary COAL framework: Curiosity, Openness, Acceptance & Love—and how it transforms your nervous systemWhy the Western idea of "self as individual body" is literally killing us—and what quantum physics reveals about who you really areThe 3 pillars of mindfulness that create measurable changes in your DNA, immune system, and longevityHow forgiveness is actually "giving up all hope for a different past"—and why this sets you freeThe difference between chaos, rigidity, and the "FACES flow" of optimal mental healthWhy uncertainty isn't something to fear—it's the portal to infinite possibility and freedomDr. Siegel's daily Wheel of Awareness practice that grounds him and connects the quantum realm to everyday lifeHow integration (differentiating while linking) is the secret to thriving relationships, brain health, and planetary healingWhy this moment of global disorganization might be humanity's "caterpillar to butterfly" transformationThe scientific truth that we're all emergences from the same source of possibility—and how living this changes everythingThis episode is a roadmap back to wholeness—backed by decades of research and delivered with profound compassion. Dr. Siegel doesn't just explain the science; he shows you how to embody it.Connect with Dan:https://drdansiegel.com/Connect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

In this profound and hope-filled conversation, award-winning theologian Dr. Kelly M. Kapic joins us to explore the intersection of mental health, anxiety, and theology. Drawing from his acclaimed book You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why That's Good News, Kapic challenges the cultural narrative that treats human limitations as flaws to be fixed. Instead, he invites us to see our finitude as part of God's good design—a truth that offers deep relief in the face of anxiety, burnout, and unrealistic expectations. We also touch on insights from his other works, including Embodied Hope and Becoming Whole, as we discuss how accepting our God-given limits can lead to greater spiritual health, emotional honesty, and a more grounded life. If you're wrestling with perfectionism, exhaustion, or a pressure to "do it all," this episode is for you. We talk about why our limits are not sins, the theological roots of anxiety and performance culture, how embracing finitude opens the door to real community and grace, and what it means to be fully human in a fast-paced, success-driven world. Join us for a refreshing and compassionate take on what it means to be whole in a world that prizes productivity over presence. Check out Kelly's book: You're Only Human Also, see his new 40 day devotional: You Were Never Meant to Do It All

Emotional problems are spiritual problems. Why do we have struggles with emotions? What is the underlying cause? What is the first step to becoming whole? 7.21.24

Would you join us on the couch? The couch is a place to talk about emotions, relational struggles, hurt, habits, and mental health. In this series, we dive into emotions and mental health because emotional problems are spiritual problems. While many find it difficult to talk about mental health and our own internal struggles, we believe that the church must address these issues and that God speaks directly into human need! So, won't you join us on the couch?

How do you navigate the complex terrain of identity and labels within the Christian community, especially during Pride Month? This episode is an insightful exploration of the  debate between using terms like "same-sex attracted" and "gay Christian."

We hope you'll gain an understanding of the arguments for and against each term, and learn the importance of compassionate pastoral care in supporting individuals through these challenges.Moving on to the modern ideology of expressive individualism, we scrutinize its stark contrast with Christian beliefs. This episode uncovers the risks of syncretism and how blending differing religious beliefs can impact the purity of the Christian faith. We delve into the anthropological, sociological, ecclesiological, and theological levels to discuss the far-reaching implications of expressive individualism. Wrapping up, we invite you to embrace Christlikeness and discover what it means to see yourself as a holy creation of God. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges you to grow in your identity in Christ.

In this episode, we sink into some important depths of the human experience, honoring life's transformative trials and tribulations along the journey toward wholeness.  Join us as we tenderly traverse the terrain, uncovering invaluable qualities forged amidst adversity and exploring the distinction between mere knowledge and embodied wisdom.  Together, we reflect on the sacredness of mystery and the profound humility that accompanies genuine understanding and healing. Amidst our contemplations, we revere nature as a primary teacher, acknowledging its ancient laws and its vital role in our collective healing journey. This dialogue invites us to welcome life's mysteries and envision a new collective dream rooted in love, curiosity, and gentleness. Let us be guided by the wildness of the heart and the boundless wisdom of the unknown.   Thematic Show Notes Below Connect with Angell: Website: https://www.thesanctuaryheal.com Instagram:   / thesanctuary.angelldeer   Book: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Web-Mag...

How often do we truly examine the 'bad fruit' in our lives? In an honest and revealing conversation, we venture deep into this concept, drawing inspiration from Brother Lawrence's book "The Practice of the Presence of God".

We encourage you to invite Jesus into your life to not only confront these sins but to help bear good fruit. We then transition to the transformative power of partnership with Jesus, exploring the importance of sanctification. Referencing the profound verses of Romans 12:1-2, we discuss the significance of offering ourselves as living sacrifices and letting our minds be renewed. As we address the 'bad fruit' in our lives, we explore how this process leads to a more vibrant and fulfilled existence. Join us as we journey together towards sanctification, ending in a collective prayer for guidance along this path.
