2. Akshay Nanavati - The Fear Fueled Route to Happiness

•

“If you don’t seek out struggle, it will find you anyway.”

 

Today’s guest persuaded the Dalai Lama to write the foreword of his new book - FEARVANA: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear Into Health, Wealth and Happiness.

 

Akshay Nanavati is used to living life at the extremes.

 

Akshay has battled with drug addiction in high school, was diagnosed with PTSD after serving as a marine in Iraq, and is now obsessed with all kinds of extreme sports ranging from marathon running to cave diving to skydiving.

 

It means his story is riddled with struggle, pain, and survivor’s guilt.

 

While the demons still haunt, Akshay has manifested a way of life that transforms fear into a powerful tool for growth and happiness. By actively seeking out and immersing himself in the struggle, Akshay has architected a revolutionary path to success and fulfilment for himself while sharing his message with millions around the world.

 

And in this episode he shares some practical strategies that you can use to revolutionize your relationship with fear and emotions.

 

“The biggest mistake when it comes to happiness is that we live in a world that has us think that happiness is an end result.”

 

We all seek happiness, but Akshay has found a route along a path that many of us would be reluctant to walk. Instead of allowing agonizing experiences to define his life, he’s found a way to use them as a key to unlock success and fulfilment.

 

In this episode, Akshay explains the importance of a ‘worthy struggle’ and argues that we should all proactively seek out ‘Spark Moments’ (or instances of inspiration) to create more happiness.

 

He explores the value of intentional living and the importance of taking control of your emotions so you can decide how you want to feel.

 

Akshay has some brilliant insights and I was in awe at the value of everything he shared when I listened to the episode again.

 

I’m so pumped for you to listen to this podcast as we explore an approach to fear-based living that could change your life.

 

“Being conscious and proactive about how, when, and what emotions you want to experience is a game-changer.”

 

Some questions I ask:

  • How do you cultivate a practice of consistently having Spark Moments? (6:31)
  • What does your daily routine look like? (13:09)
  • What role does gratitude play in your life? (18:01)
  • What have been some of your biggest Spark Moments and in what format did they come? (22:19)
  • Do have a process for reflecting and collecting your Spark Moments? (25:05)
  • You have some powerful motivators pushing you. Do you have a daily practice that helps you stay focused and keep the demons away? (33:22)
  • How do you #StayGrounded? (45:00)

 

In this episode, you will hear about:

  • How Black Hawk Down got Akshay off drugs almost overnight. (3:42)
  • Why pain is a very strong motivator for behavior change. (5:03)
  • Why Spark Moments are the key to a fulfilled life. (5:55)
  • What Fearvana means. (7:04)
  • Akshay’s definition of happiness - and how to find it. (11:19)
  • The power of simplicity and the benefit of removing decisions from your day. (13:11)
  • Why Akshay used to struggle with gratitude and what it taught him about life. (18:15)
  • The two things that all growth has in common. (24:30)
  • The reason Akshay was inspired by someone who started at a blank wall for 24-hours. (26:20)
  • The importance of NOT judging your emotions.
  • The role guilt plays in Akshay’s life and how it’s become a powerful motivator. (30:08)
  • How Akshay persuaded The Dalai Lama to write the foreword in his new book. (42:40)

His work now bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, revealing how we've turned natural feelings into toxic emotional constructs that can't metabolize through our systems.In this episode, you'll discover:→ The profound difference between feelings and emotions—and why one heals while the other gets stuck→ Why emotions are the "high fructose corn syrup" of feelings and what that means for your body→ What unconditional love actually feels like (hint: it's not the warm fuzzy sensation you think)→ How the victim-perpetrator cycle keeps you trapped—and the one shift that breaks you free→ Why nature has no purpose—and what that means for your obsession with finding yours→ The reason your grief, heartbreak, and pain aren't problems to solve but waves to ride→ How to move from "life is happening to me" to "life is happening as me"→ The one regenerative act that opens the floodgates for nature to restore everythingYou are not broken for feeling everything so deeply. You are an infinite soul in a finite body, which means you signed up for constant loss—and constant falling in love. The sunsets. The people. The moments.

  • 115. 115. Annie Lalla: What Brilliant People Get Wrong About Love: The Relationship Skills No One Taught You

    01:11:22||Season 2, Ep. 115
    You've done the work. You've built the career, gone to therapy, read the books. So why does love still feel like the one area where your brilliance doesn't translate?Annie Lalla is a relationship cartographer with an Honors Science Degree in Biology and Philosophy, a minor in Buddhism, and professional certifications in Coaching, NLP, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Her work weaves evolutionary psychology, integral theory, intergenerational family systems, and therapeutic sexuality into a framework that actually works. She helps singles done with dating find their person—and couples in love resolve the conflicts that keep them stuck. Her mission: help you build a relationship that's a trampoline for your dreams and a sanctuary for your heart.In this episode, you'll discover:→ Why women are actually the visionary leaders of relationships—and what happens when they wait to be rescued instead→ The reason your partner triggers you so intensely (hint: you've time-traveled back to childhood)→ How to know if overwhelming emotions are actually yours—or inherited pain you've been carrying for someone else→ The simple practice that releases feelings that aren't yours back to their rightful owner→ Why conflict is actually a collaboration trying to happen—and how to use it to strengthen your bond→ The "WTF to MLK" method that transforms criticism into an invitation your partner can't refuse→ What your partner is really doing when they challenge you (think Michelangelo carving David)→ The one question that reveals whether a relationship is worth the growth it demandsHere's the truth: The love you're looking for exists. But it won't come from rescue. It won't come from finding someone who finally "gets it" so you don't have to feel your feelings anymore. True love is the emotional CrossFit of human existence—and it's rare because most people are chasing happily ever after instead of alive ever after. The fantasy says love should be easy. The truth says love is the highest game you can play as a human being. You have everything you need to lead. Listen to the full episode and let Annie show you how.Connect with Annie:Website: https://www.annielalla.com/Instagram: @lallabirdConnect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

  • 111. 111. Raj Jana: Is It Safe to Feel Safe? How Childhood Trauma Makes Healing Feel Dangerous

    24:42||Season 2, Ep. 111
    Your body is screaming for rest, but the moment you try to slow down, every alarm in your system goes off. Why does stillness feel like a threat?Because while you're chasing tangible solutions, your nervous system is running on an invisible map—one created when you were 3 years old. A map that says: the world is dangerous, don't let your guard down. And that map is keeping you sick.Most people don't realize that safety itself feels dangerous. The moment symptoms improve, you're waiting for them to come back. The moment you start to relax, panic sets in. This isn't self-sabotage. This is your nervous system operating on outdated programming—and it's triggering something called Cell Danger Response at the cellular level.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why your nervous system learned that feeling safe is actually dangerous—and how this contradiction is manifesting in your body right now• The unconscious "safety map" created between ages 0-7 that still dictates your healing capacity as an adult• How Cell Danger Response keeps your cells in defense mode, blocking detox, energy production, and healing—no matter what supplements you take• The survival strategies you developed (perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing) that saved you then but are destroying your health now• Why you can't think, supplement, or protocol your way out of nervous system dysregulation• The three pillars of true nervous system transformation: Awareness, Witnessing, and Integration• Why relational medicine (being seen and held by safe others) is more powerful than any biohack• How one woman raised her HRV from the 30s to the 90s in 90 days using this exact frameworkReady to experience what it feels like to be truly witnessed? Book a complimentary 30-minute Liber8 session at https://www.liber8.health/witness and discover what happens when your nervous system is held in safe presence.Connect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

    Are you starting something new but feeling stuck in old patterns? The problem isn't the opportunity ahead—it's the unfinished business you're carrying with you.Most people try to move forward while dragging the weight of unclosed chapters, unprocessed emotions, and misaligned relationships. They wonder why new relationships feel like old ones, why career changes don't bring fulfillment, or why success still feels empty. The truth? Transformation isn't complete until you properly close what was.In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj shares his journey of returning to Austin after five years of self-discovery, moving in with his partner, and completely reimagining his company Liber8. He reveals the often-overlooked art of completion—and why mastering it is the key to creating alignment in everything you do.In this episode, you'll discover:Why friction in your life is actually a gift showing you what's misalignedThe cancer survivor who experienced remission only after addressing her emotional trauma (and why the symptom is never the root cause)How to track "dis-ease" in your body as a map to know exactly where you are in lifeWhy you can't birth something new without letting old versions of yourself die firstThe question you're afraid to answer—and how it's keeping you stuckWhat happens to your body when you finally release emotional debt through being witnessedWhy the science doesn't heal you (but creating safety for your soul does)How monthly reflection became Raj's most powerful tool for closure and transformationThe truth is simple but profound: You are enough. You don't need to do more—you need to be held, witnessed, and seen as you release what you've been carrying.This isn't just another self-help conversation. It's an invitation to give yourself permission to complete, to grieve, to let go—and finally step into full alignment.Connect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.
