    Episode 361 - Regulating the Nervous System with Kiara Armstrong

    February 17, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 361 - Regulating the Nervous System with Kiara Armstrong This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. Trying to find relief for years while nothing seems to help can break us down. When the treatments keep failing, we start to wonder if there is something fundamental being missed about what is actually wrong. Something most of us are not getting enough of in our daily lives might be exactly what our nervous systems need to feel safe and regulated. When we find ways to bring it into our lives, our bodies can finally begin to balance and heal. KIARA ARMSTRONG Kiara Armstrong has been practicing yoga for nearly 25 years and teaching for 15. Over the past decade, she has trained yoga teachers around the world and taught anatomy in both yoga and massage school settings. With a clinical background as a California-certified massage therapist and lived experience healing from CPTSD, Kiara brings a rare depth of perspective to the body. Her trauma-informed teaching blends formal study with personal insight and is rooted in principles that guide all her work: anatomy-based, consent-centered, and biomechanically precise. Early in her teaching, Kiara became captivated by the power of hands-on assists. But repeated exposure to imprecise or unsafe touch—including in her own body—led her to question conventional methods. During her time at Yoga Journal, she witnessed a broad range of assist techniques and recognized the urgent need for a clear, teachable, and anatomically sound system. Over time, through thousands of hours of teaching, experimenting, and refining, she developed the Rubber Band Method®—a structured approach that distinguishes between assisting and adjusting, prioritizes teacher sustainability, and helps instructors read student tissues through tactile awareness.

    Episode 360 - Working with Impossible Conditions with Matt Johnson

    February 13, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 360 - Working with Impossible Conditions with Matt Johnson Being told there is nothing more that can be done can feel like a door closing. Many of us stop there, accept it as the final word, and settle into whatever limitation we have been handed. We can be making real progress and still have symptoms that will not resolve. The root cause might be operating in the subconscious mind outside our awareness, and finding it might be the missing piece in our healing journey. MATT JOHNSON Matt Johnson is a hypnotist and NLP coach who turned his recovery journey into powerful methods to help others break free from subconscious blocks. After a devastating brain injury left him living in darkness, Matt discovered that hidden PTSD was sabotaging his healing. By rewiring his subconscious with hypnotherapy and NLP, he not only recovered his health, he developed a method for helping others release deeply rooted emotional baggage and transform their lives.

    February 10, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 359 - The Power of Choice with Martyn Williams The next thing we are chasing might not be what we actually need. So much energy goes into getting somewhere better than where we are, and the moments we are running from might hold exactly what we have been searching for all along.

Asking one simple question about the moment we are in can change everything about how we experience it.

    Episode 358 - Regulate Your Emotions with Dr. Mitch Abrams

    February 6, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 358 - Regulate Your Emotions with Dr. Mitch Abrams This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. We have been told our entire lives that anger is the emotion we need to eliminate, that feeling it at all means something is wrong with us, and that good people do not get angry. The shame we carry about this emotion is more profound than almost any other emotion, and that shame is exactly what keeps us trapped in cycles we cannot seem to break. What if the problem is not that we feel anger but that no one ever taught us how to use it, how to recognize the difference between the intensity that makes us stronger and the point where we lose all ability to think clearly? There is only one letter separating anger from danger, and learning what that letter stands for is the difference between using anger to fuel what we do and letting it consume us. DR. MITCH ABRAMS Dr. Mitch Abrams has a private practice providing sport, clinical, and forensic psychology services, and is also an expert in the treatment of trauma. Since 2000, he has worked inside the prison system in New Jersey and now oversees psychological services for seven of the state’s prisons as Chief Psychologist for Rutgers-University Correctional Health Care. He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Rutgers Health-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Dr. Abrams is the Founder and CEO of Learned Excellence for Athletes, utilizing anger management training to assist athletes, coaches, and professionals reach peak performance. His new book is: I’m Not F*****g Angry!!! Adjust the Flames to Get What You Want and Need.

    Episode 357 - Hormone Health with Dr. Nayan Patel

    February 3, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 357 - Hormone Health with Dr. Nayan Patel This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. Why does talking about certain parts of our health still feel like something we need to whisper about in private, while we discuss heart disease and diabetes freely at dinner tables? We have been conditioned to believe that managing symptoms for the rest of our lives is the same thing as solving a problem, and somewhere along the way we stopped questioning whether there might be another option. The body has its own intelligence about how to regulate what it needs, but we reach for external solutions before we ever ask what threw our bodies off balance in the first place. Sometimes the answer is not what we are missing but what we have been interfering with, and understanding that difference changes everything about how we approach our own healing. DR. NAYAN PATEL Dr. Nayan Patel is a sought-after pharmacist, wellness expert, and thought leader in his industry. He has been working with physicians since 1999 to custom-develop medication for their clients and design a patient-specific drug and nutrition regimen. He has been the pharmacist of choice to celebrities, CEOs, and physicians themselves. He recently published his first comprehensive book, The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging & Increase Energy. After 11 years of clinical research on the master antioxidant, glutathione, Dr. Patel and his team developed a patented technology to deliver Glutathione topically, changing the game on how best to absorb GSH systemically. From this technology, he additionally developed The Auro GSH Antioxidant Delivery System to create a skincare line to deliver antioxidants more efficiently and effectively than ever before at potent concentrations.

    Episode 356 - Growing up with Schizoid Personality Disorder with Blair Sorrel

    January 30, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 356 - Growing up with Schizoid Personality Disorder with Blair Sorrel This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. What does it feel like to know something is profoundly wrong but have no language for the pain, to spend decades being told to just try harder when the very act of trying pushes you further into isolation? Some of us carry defenses formed so early in childhood that we mistake them for who we are, and those protective patterns become the walls that keep out everything we think we want. The belief that the right job or relationship will finally fix us falls apart when the condition itself blocks our ability to get close enough to anyone or anything that might help. Some wounds stay invisible until they are why we cannot keep a job, cannot leave home, or cannot care for our own needs, and recognition is what turns decades of confusion into something we can finally work with. BLAIR SORREL Blair Sorrel is an author, innovator, and animal lover. She was Free Time’s “Dollarwise Dilettante” columnist, Together Dating Service’s matchmaker, and New York Blood Services’ apheresis recruiter. She founded StreetZaps to protect dogs and people from stray voltage, and was the first community representative invited by Con Edison to their annual Jodie S. Lane Stray Voltage Detection, Mitigation, and Prevention National Conference. Her memoir is A Schizoid at Smith: How Overparenting Leads to Underachieving.

    Episode 355 - Connecting with Your Authenticity with Marcia Martin

    January 27, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 355 - Connecting with Your Authenticity with Marcia Martin This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. We spend so much energy searching for the person or program or practice that will finally show us who we are, but what happens when the very thing promising transformation becomes the thing that pulls us furthest from ourselves? The patterns we develop in childhood about power, approval, and worthiness do not disappear when we enter spiritual or personal development spaces, and sometimes the most charismatic teachers are the ones we most need to question. There is a difference between what we have been taught is right and what actually works for our lives, and learning to tell them apart requires us to get centered enough to hear the signals the universe keeps sending. We want to believe that betrayal and heartbreak mean we failed, but sometimes they are exactly the wake-up call we needed to stop giving our power away and start trusting that who we are is already enough. MARCIA MARTIN Marcia Martin is an entrepreneur extraordinaire, renowned global speaker, and master personal and business coach dedicated to helping people create a business and life they love. Often called the “Grand Dame of Transformation,” she was an original pioneer of the Human Potential Movement and was Senior Vice President at Werner Erhard’s EST, helping take the company from inception to a graduate base of millions. She helped Tony Robbins launch his first great book Unleash Your Power and take his organization national, trained for LifeSpring, helped market the Hoffman Institute, and was Co Creator and CEO of the Transformational Leadership Council. Her students and clients have included Lynne Twist, Robert Kiyosaki, Anthony Robbins, Jack Canfield, T. Harv Eker, and Mari Smith. She has trained over 300,000 people worldwide in communication and leadership skills and was knighted for her humanitarian contribution to the world working on saving the Rainforest and ending hunger.

    Episode 354 - Rewiring Stress and Money Blocks with Michelle Masters

    January 23, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 354 - Rewiring Stress and Money Blocks with Michelle Masters We can work ourselves into the ground and still feel like we are never quite safe. The anxiety about money can show up whether we have billions or barely enough, and the number itself might not be what needs fixing. Old beliefs might be running automatically beneath what we think we want, and they sound like truth. They are patterns stored in parts of us we often have difficulty accessing, but there are ways to release them and rewire what no longer serves us. MICHELLE MASTERS A Personal Development Trainer and Coach since 1995, Michelle Masters’ work is an innovative alchemy of Neuro-Science based change techniques, Family Constellation work, and quantum healing modalities, combined with profound understandings of what creates transformation and lasting change for people. Warm, funny, and insightful, she helps the transformation soak in more easily. Her hugely popular Money Magic workshop has helped people all over the world to transform their lives and money. Her Money Magic book became a bestseller in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the UK, and she has appeared on stages, radio, TV, and was featured in the docuseries A Year of Transformation.
