    Episode 420 - Trusting Forward with Antonia Daniek

    September 25, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 420 - Trusting Forward with Antonia Daniek This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. We usually want to know how a decision will turn out before we commit to it, but life does not really work that way. In an effort to be “logical” we often ignore our intuition or gut feeling, and go with the solution that makes sense to everyone else instead. When we come back to ourselves and start trusting what we know, we tend to end up somewhere better than we were aiming for. Creating alongside others while staying aligned in who we are can then become something that enriches us and gives us a whole new layer of life experience. ANTONIA DANIEK Antonia Daniek is a mentor, speaker and creator of Source Dynamics whose work explores what becomes possible when we learn to trust ourselves, listen to our inner wisdom and co-create without losing who we are. Raised in a Tibetan Buddhist community, Antonia has spent much of her life exploring the relationship between our inner world and how we meet life, change and one another. Today, she brings together more than 16 years of coaching and entrepreneurship with a lifelong practice of contemplation, intuition and listening to what wants to emerge. At the heart of her work is an invitation to Trust Forward: to take the next step without needing to know the whole path, become more fully ourselves, and learn to trust not only our own inner knowing, but also relationship, emergence and life itself. Through her work, Antonia invites changemakers to explore new ways of being, relating and consciously co-creating—within themselves, with each other and with the living world.

    Episode 419 - Know Yourself, Be Yourself with Patricia Lindner

    September 18, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 419 - Know Yourself, Be Yourself with Patricia Lindner From the outside our lives can look like what we set out to build, and on the inside, we have dimmed ourselves so far we hardly recognize who is left. We read another book, take another course, go deeper into the personal work, and yet the alignment we were promised keeps moving further away. We are told that everything we need is already inside us, which is great to hear and no help at all when we cannot find it. Once we can see what has been standing in our way, the change we have circled for years stops being an idea and becomes the thing we actually do. PATRICIA LINDNER Patricia Lindner spent fifty years being chosen. Then she chose herself. A Private Advisor, Retreat Host, and Speaker based in Bavaria, Germany, Patricia mastered the art of looking perfect: high-achiever, people-pleaser, quietly unraveling underneath. A professional once told her she was “incurable.” She didn’t believe him. She found her way home to herself in the south of France instead, and hasn’t stopped burning since. Now she helps founders, leaders, and creatives stop performing and start living as themselves. Know Yourself. Be Yourself. Express Yourself. Everything else will follow.

    Episode 418 - The Warm Edge with Chen Lizra

    September 11, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 418 - The Warm Edge with Chen Lizra This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. Many of us reach the level we worked so hard for and still catch ourselves living with impostor syndrome, and the higher we climb, the stronger that fear can become. What we absorbed as children about how much space to take up travels with us into every room we enter as adults. That inheritance appears in the conversations we avoid, in the higher salary we never ask for, and in the toll our health pays for staying silent. We do not have to wait for the world to feel safer before we take up more space, and can work with our bodies to build resilience and capacity any time. CHEN LIZRA Chen Lizra, the female founder of the Power of Somatic Intelligence, is a sought-after somatic transformational coach and TED Speaker, helping high achievers release what is blocking them, leading to inner alignment, nervous system regulation, and emotional mastery. Combining embodiment, somatics, and ancient wisdom, she developed a ground breaking method and delivers powerful results in 3-6 months. She intuitively uncovers ancestral somatic imprints to reprogram emotional blocks impacting performance. She specializes in the Warm Edge - shifting tough conversations in an embodied way, adding softness to strength. Her TED Talk has captivated 13M viewers. Featured in The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Oprah Daily, Women of Impact, Business Insider, CEO Weekly, and more. Winner of the Global Recognition Award 2024, and the 2025 Stevie Award as Coach of the Year in health and wellness. Chen helps her clients reclaim their voice through courage, truth, and honour.

    Episode 417 - Lyme Disease with Christina Kantzavelos

    September 4, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 417 - Lyme Disease with Christina Kantzavelos We discuss the lived experience of navigating Lyme disease, sharing stories of loss, resilience, and the search for answers in the face of complex symptoms. Through personal and professional reflection, we connect with the challenges and triumphs faced along the journey toward healing and understanding. Questions arise about why some people become gravely ill while others remain symptom-free after similar exposures, prompting us to re-examine the intricate links between trauma, nervous system regulation, and chronic illness. We learn how even the smallest bacteria can transform our lives, discover surprising facts about testing and healing, and find hope in stories of transformation and renewed purpose. CHRISTINA KANTZAVELOS Christina P. Kantzavelos, LCSW, MLIS, CTA, is a licensed psychotherapist, chronic illness advocate, author, and founder of Begin Within Today. After becoming seriously ill herself and navigating years of complex diagnoses, medical trauma, and life disruption, Christina transformed her personal healing journey into a mission to support others living with invisible and complex chronic illnesses. As a therapist specializing in chronic illness, trauma, and nervous system regulation, Christina integrates evidence-based approaches including EMDR, trauma-informed therapy, emotional freedom techniques, mind-body practices, and integrative healing approaches. She is passionate about increasing chronic illness competency among mental health providers and creating more compassionate systems of care for patients who are often misunderstood or dismissed. Christina is also the creator of the Begin Within Daily Health Wellness Journals and WithinMe App, tools designed to help individuals track their health journeys, reconnect with their bodies, and cultivate greater awareness and self-compassion. Through her clinical work, advocacy, writing, and speaking, Christina bridges the gap between mental health and complex chronic illness, helping people move from survival toward empowerment, resilience, and hope.

    Episode 416 - From A to Zen with Chris Bath

    August 28, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 416 - From A to Zen with Chris Bath We explore the art of finding presence and meaning amid the fast-paced demands of modern life and share unique perspectives on how ideas around time, agency, and personal growth can be reimagined so that each of us can feel more grounded in who we are. We ponder why our minds live in the past and future, and how simple, mindful shifts might transform the way we experience each day. New ways of thinking about self-compassion, the tension between ambition and authenticity, and those small practices that enrich our lives could be what realigns us with the present moment. CHRIS BATH Chris Bath is the author of AtoZen, a father, and a multifaceted leader whose background spans the fields of science, finance, and spirituality. Driven by a lifelong curiosity about the mechanics of the universe, he read Physics at Oxford University, later applying that analytical mindset to a high-stakes professional career defined by complexity and change. Chris spent a decade in Mergers & Acquisitions at Rothschild & Co before transitioning into executive leadership. As CFO and later CEO of a family-owned healthcare business, he led a major organizational transformation that culminated in a successful sale to Goldman Sachs. In parallel to his corporate trajectory, Chris has maintained a dedicated spiritual practice for over 20 years. A seasoned yogi currently studying to become a teacher, he created AtoZen to bridge the gap between high-pressure professional environments and mindful living. His work offers a practical toolkit for reconciling these seemingly contradictory worlds, providing a path through the demands of time and a return to the present moment.

    Episode 415 - Is Sugar Addiction Real with Mike Collins

    August 25, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 415 - Is Sugar Addiction Real with Mike Collins This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. We reflect on our relationship with sugar and how it shapes our daily lives. It might be one of the more difficult things we do, but reconsidering what we may have always taken for granted about sweetness and self-care could become the key to change. We navigate the surprising connections between sugar, emotional wellbeing, and the habits embedded in family traditions and might just find ourselves questioning the deeper behavioral patterns that lie beneath our daily choices. What could real freedom from sugar look and feel like? MIKE COLLINS Mike Collins believes sugar addiction is very real and not to be taken lightly. As a person in long-term recovery from substance use disorder for over forty years, he took a keen interest in what sugar was doing to him and his friends in early recovery. After much research and experimentation, he quit sugar with the help of amazing mentors. He then raised two children sugar-free from the womb to six years old, and as they grew, he rewrote the rules for sugar and kids in childhood. He takes his stewardship of SugarAddiction.com, SugarDetox.com, and QuitSugarSummit.com very seriously and aims to provide information and community for anyone wanting to curb or quit sugar. Hundreds of thousands have read his book The Last Resort Sugar Detox, and tens of thousands have completed his online 30-Day Sugar Freedom Challenge.

Listener discretion is advised. We explore the human experience of trauma, healing, and the power of guided imagery in creating profound transformation.
