    Episode 405 - The Illusion of Reality with Melissa Tittl

    July 21, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 405 - The Illusion of Reality with Melissa Tittl Reality can feel like the one thing we do not need to question because it is right in front of us. Yet perception, belief, and frequency can change the picture enough to make us wonder what we have been calling real without looking too closely. We explore how consciousness, sound, ancient structures, and sacred geometry may point to a different way of understanding the world we live in. The deeper question is personal, because once reality stops feeling completely fixed, the limits we have accepted in our own lives may no longer feel as certain. MELISSA TITTL Melissa Tittl is a leading voice in consciousness media, an investigative journalist, award-winning filmmaker, and the creative force behind some of the most talked-about programming in science, spirituality, and human potential. Across a career spanning Hollywood and the world's biggest networks, she has created and written shows for Netflix, History, and Discovery, including Ancient Aliens and The Universe, and hosted and led investigations on UFO Witness for Discovery. As former Head of Content for Gaia, the world's leading platform for conscious media, she shaped a generation of programming on spirituality, the mind, and human potential, creating flagship series such as Ancient Civilizations. That vision made her a natural fit for Dr.Joe Dispenza. With Hathor Studios, she produced and directed SOURCE: It's Within You, the documentary built around the largest meditation study ever conducted. Her career began in Hollywood at Paramount Studios, working on franchise films including Star Trek and Mission: Impossible. Her award-winning film Code 12 uncovers a hidden mathematical code linking ancient megalithic structures, sacred texts, and quantum physics, a discovery that supports the simulation hypothesis. Now, with ILLUSION, she turns her investigation to the nature of reality itself, exploring belief, frequency, and the hidden structures that shape everything we perceive. RESOURCES Illusion The global online launch of ILLUSION opens July 24–26, 2026, as a free limited-time viewing event. The film explores consciousness, frequency, human perception, ancient civilizations, sacred geometry, and the deeper structures shaping reality, featuring voices from science, philosophy, and research.

    Episode 404 - The Power of Now with Billy Mandarino

    July 17, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 404 - The Power of Now with Billy Mandarino We can spend whole days physically in one place while our minds live somewhere else entirely, rehearsing the past or worrying about the future. The present moment, the only one we ever truly have, slips by while we are busy looking everywhere but here. Learning to live in the now turns out to be a skill, something any of us can practice and build. We explore how stepping out of the mental rearview mirror can change how the whole of life feels, and why the present moment may be the most powerful part of any day. BILLY MANDARINO Billy Mandarino is an author, speaker and Now-ist, teaching people to become more aware of the gifts in the present moment. His hit book, The Now-ist is full of wisdom from his own journey. The inspiration and truth Billy presents in his new book, The Now-ist is a life-changing creation. Billy dives deep into the essence of us all and breaks down present-moment living in a very unique way.

    Episode 403 - Burnout and Addiction with Alina Roselli

    July 14, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 403 - Burnout and Addiction with Alina Roselli This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. It is possible to build a life that looks exciting from the outside and still feel like we are strangers in it. We learn to perform a version of ourselves so well that we lose track of who we actually are behind the mask and the facade. Burnout and addiction often grow in the gap between the life we let others see and the life we actually live. We explore how losing ourselves can be the start of finding our way back, and why the hardest chapters can turn out to be the ones that return us to who we really are. ALINA ROSELLI Alina Roselli is a recovery and transition coach who believes we are in an epidemic of not knowing who we truly are. Through her recovery and coaching work, she is witnessing firsthand how most people are living as smaller versions of themselves without knowing it. She's developed Soul Coordinates, a portrait that bypasses the mind entirely and reveals who you actually are underneath the survival strategies. Her own journey through burnout, addiction recovery and self loss is the source of everything she offers. She knows what it is to not recognize yourself. If you've ever felt hollow, stuck, or like something's off but you can't name it, this conversation is for you.

    Episode 402 - Rewiring the Nervous System with Miguel Bautista

    July 10, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 402 - Rewiring the Nervous System with Miguel Bautista We tend to trust that when something is wrong with our health, a test will find it. Yet some of us live with chronic fatigue and unexplained physical symptoms, while every lab test comes back clear. The nervous system may hold a large piece of that puzzle, and with it, a possible path to recovery. We explore how the same drive and determination that serve us so well in life can sometimes keep the body locked in survival mode, and what it can look like to find a way back to a full and active life. MIGUEL BAUTISTA Miguel Bautista is the founder of CFS Recovery, a global recovery program helping people overcome Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Long Covid, fibromyalgia, and related nervous system driven conditions. After spending years battling severe unexplained symptoms that left him bedridden and hospitalized, Miguel developed a practical, systemized approach focused on nervous system regulation and long-term recovery. Today, CFS Recovery has helped thousands of people worldwide regain function, stability, and independence through structured coaching and recovery frameworks. Miguel is also known for simplifying complex recovery concepts into clear, actionable strategies through his educational content and YouTube channel.

    Episode 401 - Love and Reason with Lincoln Stoller

    July 7, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 401 - Love and Reason with Lincoln Stoller This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. We spend so much of life trying to think our way to the right answer, certain that enough cleverness will finally make the big questions resolve. Love tends to be the place where that approach comes undone, refusing to behave the way logic says it should. Maybe love was never a problem to solve, but a capacity to grow. We explore the idea that learning to love ourselves changes how we love everyone else, and why the questions that have no clean answer are often the most rewarding to explore. LINCOLN STOLLER Lincoln Stoller is a parent, author, physicist, neuro-therapist, and certified psychotherapist in British Columbia, Canada, and has been a mountaineer, aviator, paraglider, scuba diver, kayaker, and snowboarder. He works in private practice as both a counselor and coach helping people see how and why they have created their environment, their view of reality, and sense of self. He’s a member of the American Alpine Club’s Climbers Grief Fund helping people with wilderness related trauma. Lincoln’s professional experience includes physics, business software, and brain research as well as roles as a cultural ambassador to communities in the Caribbean, Panama, and Mongolia. His work comes together under the heading of mastering one’s state of mind through experience, aiming to raise his clients sense of purpose in all aspects of their lives.

    Episode 400 - Grow a New Brain with Dr. Alberto Villoldo

    July 3, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 400 - Grow a New Brain with Dr. Alberto Villoldo Every part of our bodies can repair by replacing its old cells, except the brain. The neurons we are born with have to last a lifetime and it is easy to believe this means the brain simply has to decline with age. What the brain is actually capable of is far more fascinating, and most of it is ours to shape. We explore where modern medicine meets ancient shamanic traditions, and how the body holds a capacity for renewal we are only just beginning to understand and study. It turns out we might hold the power to do something extraordinary. To grow ourselves a new brain. DR. ALBERTO VILLOLDO Medical anthropologist Alberto Villoldo Ph.D. has studied the shamanic healing practices of the Amazon and Andes for over 25 years. He is the founder of the Four Winds Society, an organization dedicated to the bridging of ancient shamanic traditions with modern medicine and psychology. The Four Winds Society Light Body School is internationally recognized as the Gold Standard in shamanic education, preparing wise and ethical energy medicine practitioners. In his mid-20s, Dr. Villoldo was the youngest clinical professor at San Francisco State University, where he founded and directed the Biological Self-Regulation Lab to investigate how psychosomatic medicine changes the chemistry of the brain. He soon realized that the microscope was the wrong instrument to answer the questions he was asking. Other scientists were already studying the hardware, and Dr. Villoldo wanted to learn to reprogram the system for extraordinary health. He is the author of more than 20 international bestsellers in the field of energy medicine, and a Fellow of the Explorer’s Club.

    Episode 399 - Reconnecting with Our Essential Nature with Mary Rothwell

    June 30, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 399 - Reconnecting with Our Essential Nature with Mary Rothwell When a plant in our care starts to struggle, we look at it with curiosity and care. We ask what it needs, more light, less crowding, different soil, and we adjust the conditions around it so it can recover. In therapy, the out-of-the-box approach that humans can be like plants can help us understand ourselves with more compassion. We explore how knowing our own nature and the environment we thrive in shows us what to change in our relationships, our work, and our daily lives so we can start to flourish. MARY ROTHWELL Mary Rothwell is a licensed therapist, podcast host, speaker, and writer who helps women honor their Essential Nature and live in alignment with their true purpose to find fulfillment and strength from within. Drawing on her background as a Master Gardener and Certified Forest Therapy Practitioner, Mary blends the wisdom of nature with more than 35 years of experience in the mental health field. Her work helps women see their innate resilience, reconnect with what truly matters, and cultivate lives that feel both grounded and vibrant. Whether she’s speaking in a quiet workshop circle or on a large conference stage, Mary inspires audiences through her humor, authenticity, and real-life stories that remind us we’re all capable of growth—just like the landscapes that nurture us.

    Episode 398 - Psychogenic Longevity with Dr. Srini Pillay

    June 26, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 398 - Psychogenic Longevity with Dr. Srini Pillay Once we get curious about longevity, we might come to the conclusion that despite taking supplements, sleeping well, exercising, and watching our diet, something else is still missing from the picture. Surprisingly, how old we feel may actually be more important than how old we physically are. Two people could follow the same routines and still have completely different health outcomes as the years go on. Where does that leave us? Maybe with much more choice over how well we age than we may have been led to believe. DR. SRINI PILLAY Dr. Srini Pillay is Chief Medical Officer and co-founder of Reulay, an AI-driven digital therapeutics company that enhances well-being and extends healthspan by shifting mindset to reduce the risk of chronic disease. A Harvard-trained psychiatrist, brain researcher, and biotechnology consultant, Dr. Pillay is widely recognized for his groundbreaking work in psychogenic longevity, the science of using mindset to improve healthspan and lifespan. After graduating as the top medical student in South Africa, he completed his psychiatry residency at Harvard’s McLean Hospital and spent 17 years conducting brain research at Harvard while directing both the Outpatient Anxiety Disorders Program and the Panic Disorders Research Program at McLean Hospital. A pioneer in psychogenic longevity, Dr. Pillay merges cutting-edge neuroscience with ancient wisdom to help people upgrade their brains in an age of AI and expand consciousness.
