    August 18, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 413 - The Path to Sustainable Health with Dr. Jen Mann We dive into holistic health, opening a thoughtful space to reflect on how our wellbeing touches every aspect of our lives. Through curiosity and compassion, we can honor the wisdom within our bodies and explore what it truly means to thrive on a sustainable path. We can view our symptoms as meaningful signals and guides along our healing journeys, to let new connections emerge between our physical state, emotions, and life circumstances. When we question how everyday choices and deep-seated patterns shape our experience of health and empowerment, we can begin to unravel even the most confusing health puzzles. DR.

    Episode 412 - How Your Brain Shapes Stress with Dr. Amy Albright

    August 14, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 412 - How Your Brain Shapes Stress with Dr. Amy Albright We explore the fascinating intersection of stress, the brain, and our innate capacity for transformation within all three. Our brains are so much more than just a physical organ and understanding this can empower us on both personal and collective levels. Thought-provoking questions about consciousness, the roots of stress, and the possibilities of neurofeedback therapy invite us to rethink what is possible for our wellbeing. While perspectives on joy, intuition, and the mysteries of how interconnected we really are may just spark curiosity about how much change we can create when we work with our own minds. DR. AMY ALBRIGHT Dr. Amy Albright is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, executive advisor, and co-founder of Holon — a rare synthesis of clinician, oracle, and strategist. Possibly the only practitioner in the world working simultaneously at the level of elite executive coaching, neurological architecture, and the human energetic field. Founders and leaders seek her out at the most consequential chapters of their lives. She works at the level of the system — seeing what others miss, moving what others can't touch, dissolving patterns that have resisted every prior approach and activating capacities her clients didn't know they had. At the heart of her practice is the Holon lab, where her team directly shapes neurological architecture using advanced EEG neurofeedback, in-depth brain mapping, and cutting-edge recovery technologies. What shifts in the field gets encoded in the brain. What changes in the brain reorganizes how a person perceives, responds, and leads. Transformation, in her world, is not a concept. It is trained, embodied, and built to last.

    Episode 409 - Healing Grief with Victoria Volk

    August 4, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 409 - Healing Grief with Victoria Volk This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. Grief can begin with death, or with a change that alters our sense of safety, belonging, and the future we imagined. As those experiences become part of our lived story, they influence our emotional resilience, our coping strategies and how we care for ourselves, and the old patterns that return in adult life. We challenge the common understanding of grief and reveal how it influences the ways we relate, cope, and even shape our families. An invitation unfolds to reflect on how emotions impact our daily actions and identities, sparking new questions about the patterns we repeat and how we can create meaningful healing and change. VICTORIA VOLK Victoria Volk, the owner of The Unleashed Heart, LLC, is an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Self-Published Author, Certified YouMap® Coach, Certified Biofield Tuning Practitioner, and End-of-Life Doula.

    Episode 408 - The Spirit Led Way to Regulation with Mary Hope

    July 31, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 408 - The Spirit Led Way to Regulation with Mary Hope We can do breathwork, meditate, work on ourselves, and still feel caught in the weeds, searching for answers while our bodies stay in survival mode. Regulation becomes a way of living when it starts changing the state we create from each day. When we begin shifting from our heads into our hearts, embodiment happens in our nervous systems and a felt sense of safety moves us out of survival into receiving. Coherence and alignment become the guiding threads for creating from joy, and our capacity to receive expands infinitely. MARY HOPE Meet Mary Hope, a nervous system regulation coach and founder of the Spirit-Led Way. Mary helps high-capacity entrepreneurs regulate their nervous system — so they can expand their capacity, attract the right clients, and lead from connection and alignment. She bridges somatic intelligence, breath work, and leadership performance — helping entrepreneurs move out of internal fight-or-flight and into heart coherence and grounded execution. Mary’s approach is unique and simple. Nervous system regulation isn’t a practice. It’s a new way of living.

    Episode 407 - From Autopilot to Embodied Living with Veronique Ory

    July 28, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 407 - From Autopilot to Embodied Living with Veronique Ory It is easy to spend whole days running on autopilot, repeating routines and obligations we created and agreed to, and then never stopped to question. We can live this way for years before pausing to ask whether that is even still the life we want. The body is where we begin to find our way back from autopilot. We explore how paying attention to what we feel physically helps us live more deliberately, and how something as ordinary as our posture can change the way we feel. VERONIQUE ORY Veronique Ory is an Intuitive Movement and Mindful Awareness Guide, author of Shine On & Off the Mat, and the founder of the Shine Collective. With a background in theatre and over a decade of experience in yoga and holistic wellness, she guides individuals and groups through practices that reconnect the body, calm the nervous system, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-trust. Through private sessions, international retreats, and her online platform, Veronique creates spaces for connection and nourishment in every sense—where movement becomes a pathway to clarity, resilience, and embodied living. Her work bridges the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing, supporting people in moving beyond autopilot and into a more intentional, aligned way of life.

    Episode 406 - Unlocking Your Chakra Map with Laura Morrice

    July 24, 2026 The Jōrni Podcast Episode 406 - Unlocking Your Chakra Map with Laura Morrice This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised. We can know exactly what needs to change and still feel our bodies unfold an old response before we can consciously choose otherwise. Whether we repeat challenging relationship patterns, come up against an income ceiling, or experience physical symptoms in our bodies, the question may be why the same outdated patterns keep finding new ways to get our attention. If we get what we are, not what we want, how can we use our own internal energy map to get to the root of our patterns? We explore how our subconscious beliefs can keep looking for evidence, why this shapes our identity, and how reading our patterns can fundamentally change what we create in our lives. LAURA MORRICE Laura Morrice is an energy alignment specialist and pattern reader with over 25 years of experience working at the root of what keeps high-achieving women stuck. Based in Scotland, she is the founder of The Chakra Coach, a precision diagnostic practice that goes beyond mindset to identify the energetic patterns running beneath the surface of every result a woman is or isn't getting. A Scottish Prestige Award winner for Holistic Leadership Coach of the Year 2026, former columnist for Soul & Spirit magazine, and 4 times best selling author, Laura has spent decades doing the work that most coaches don't know exists. She works with women who have done the therapy, the courses, the inner work, and are still hitting the same wall. Her diagnostic approach spans the chakra system, Human Design, Gene Keys, astrology, and numerology, reading the full energetic architecture of a person's life rather than treating the symptom. Her core belief is simple and non-negotiable: you don't get what you want, you get what you are. When the pattern changes, everything changes.
