    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.

    Episode 397 - Our Primal Five with Dr. Matthew Campbell

    June 23, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 397 - Our Primal Five with Dr. Matthew Campbell We hold far more influence over how we feel each day than we tend to give ourselves credit for. Much of our energy, our focus, and our mood traces back to a few simple foundations that are completely within our power to implement. We discuss what these primal five foundations are, how to start rebuilding them, and what it takes to stick to change in the midst of our busy modern lives. We also explore how these shifts ripple outward, changing not just how we feel but how we connect with our families and communities. DR. MATTHEW CAMPBELL Dr. Matthew Campbell is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping people improve their mental health and daily functioning. Based in Oxford, Mississippi, his work focuses on a simple but often overlooked idea: most people aren’t broken—they’re depleted. Through his framework, Our Primal 5, Dr. Campbell emphasizes five foundational areas that directly impact energy, clarity, and consistency—sleep, sunlight, movement, connection, and consumption. His approach is practical and science-based, designed to help people rebuild capacity in a way that actually supports lasting change. He is the creator of the Our Primal 5 workbook, a 5-week guide to strengthening these foundations, and is currently developing a companion app that provides daily tracking and feedback to help users stay consistent.

    Episode 396 - Beyond Patterns with Constantin Bogdan Morun

    June 19, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 396 - Beyond Patterns with Constantin Bogdan Morun Some of what we call our personality, our limits, and our fears, was never actually ours to begin with. It was handed to us before we had any say in the matter, and most of us go an entire lifetime without questioning whether it has to stay. Usually, there comes a point in life when these old programs collide with our current reality and we begin to question what it would take to change. The moment we realize that we have the power to let go is the moment this change begins to happen. CONSTANTIN BOGDAN MORUN Constantin Bogdan Morun is a transformational guide, speaker, and creator of the CLEAR Activation Method, blending neuroscience, subconscious reprogramming, and embodied awareness to help individuals break free from the patterns that keep them stuck. After years of high performance on the outside but internal struggle with anxiety, burnout, and misalignment, Constantin discovered that true transformation doesn’t come from mindset alone, but from working with the deeper layers of the nervous system and subconscious. His work bridges structure and intuition, guiding people to release what is not truly them and reconnect with their natural state of clarity, energy, and purpose. Through his programs, music, and speaking, Constantin supports individuals in stepping out of survival patterns and into aligned, authentic living, what he calls the journey back to one.

    Episode 395 - The Emotional Root of Fertility Struggles with Katherine Rohland

    June 16, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 395 - The Emotional Root of Fertility Struggles with Katherine Rohland Many women experiencing fertility struggles are simply handed a label like "unexplained" and sent home with very little to work with. What Chinese medicine has been saying for millennia, and what research is only now beginning to catch up to, is that unexplained does not necessarily mean unsolvable. The emotional and mental state we are in has a direct effect on our fertility, and that is a conversation most women never have with their doctor. Getting curious about what that actually means for our own bodies may be one of the most important things we do on this journey. KATHERINE ROHLAND Katherine Rohland is a licensed Chinese medicine practitioner specializing in fertility and women’s reproductive health and the founder of the Femergy Fertility Framework.  Katherine works with women all over the world who have been told their only option is IVF—or that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely or impossible. She has helped countless women support their bodies naturally on the path to pregnancy. But what makes her work especially interesting is not just the medicine, but her mission to change the narrative around fertility, to move women from fear and confusion into clarity and empowerment.

    Episode 394 - Exploring Autism with Paul Voss

    June 12, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 394 - Exploring Autism with Paul Voss This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. A diagnosis can feel like a door closing, the moment the future rearranges itself into something smaller than what we imagined. For families receiving an autism diagnosis, that label often arrives with an unspoken instruction to accept it and manage it for life. Yet that same moment can become the start of searching for answers and a way forward. When we give ourselves permission to question what we have been told and explore every avenue open to us, we often find there is much more room for possibility than we first believed. PAUL VOSS Paul Voss is a father, strategist, and autism advocate whose world changed in an instant when his daughter started to regress, lost language, and disappeared behind behaviors no one could explain. The experience forced him into the deepest kind of leadership—one without titles, teams, or playbooks—where the stakes were his child’s future. Refusing to accept the standard narrative, Paul and his family rebuilt their lives from the inside out. They overhauled diet, environment, routines, and nervous-system inputs with relentless intention. What followed wasn’t a miracle, but a measurable, hard-won return of skills, connection, and hope. Today, Paul blends strategic clarity with raw, father-centered honesty to help parents—especially dads—navigate the emotional, practical, and spiritual upheaval that comes with an autism diagnosis. He speaks about leading your home with conviction and why families must be at the center of their child’s healing journey. He is the author of Autism Sucks: Finding Hope in the Chaos and a sought-after guest for conversations on resilience, fatherhood, health transformation, and the meaning we find when life breaks us open. Paul’s mission is clear: give parents the clarity, courage, and tools he wishes he had on day one.

    Episode 393 - The Thyroid Connection with Dr. Kevin Smith

    June 9, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 393 - The Thyroid Connection with Dr. Kevin Smith Modern medicine performs miracles in the emergency room every day, yet chronic conditions still tend to get managed rather than resolved. Challenges as different as fatigue, brain fog, thinning hair, and stubborn weight often trace back to a single source that points the way forward once we know to look for it. Something small enough to overlook sets the pace for nearly every cell in our bodies, and the path back to vitality can look closer to detective work than to a prescription pad. We follow the empowering web connecting stress, sleep, the gut, and our daily choices, finding why getting to the root of a problem can change everything about how we take charge of our own health. DR. KEVIN SMITH Dr. Kevin Smith, a functional medicine practitioner from Pittsburgh, PA., is the founder and clinic director of Metabolic Solutions in Bethel Park. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic health problems that have failed to be cured by traditional medical approaches. Dr. Smith has been in practice since 2001. And in that time, he has seen thousands of people regain their function, restore their health, overcome imbalances, preserve their independence, and decrease their reliance on medications.

    Episode 392 - Why Frequency Is Everything with Rachel Wayte

    June 5, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 392 - Why Frequency Is Everything with Rachel Wayte What does the body do with everything we have never been able to express, the emotions we pushed down, and the things we decided it was safer to just move on from? Most of us assume we have to go back through all of it to find our way out, and that assumption alone can keep us from even starting. There are ways of releasing what is stored in the body that are faster and gentler than anything conventionally available. Understanding how frequency and sound play a role in this transformation may just shift the way we think about what is possible for our health, wealth, and growth. RACHEL WAYTE Rachel Wayte is a high-level Energy and Frequency Healer to the world’s most discerning leaders and entrepreneurs. She combines intuitive mastery, energetic precision and her classically trained voice to shift energy and frequency in real time. At the highest level, strategy alone is no longer the answer. Rachel's work allows founders and leaders to cross over into purpose and legacy, attaining the ultimate life fulfilment and wealth beyond strategy.
