37. Desiree & Alonto Mangadong - How to Move Through Emotions with Essential Oils

•

“We have a philosophy that all emotions are good. It’s about being able to move through those emotions that’s the key - so you can move from the negative to the positive.”

This episode is a little bit special because I don’t have one guest, I have two!

It’s power couple Desiree and Alonto Mangandog and they’re both passionate about using essential oils, aromatherapy, and acupuncture to help people process and move through their emotions.

This episode blew my mind! When we live in our heads and we’re challenged by what Alonto referred to as ‘infobesity’, we can lose sense of the power our senses have to shake up our emotions.

Desiree explains how 95% of everything that goes on happens in our subconscious - it’s no wonder it can be so hard to know ourselves - so we can grow and evolve into our potential.

But as you’ll see in this episode, essential oils are a powerful tool that can unlock the door to heightened emotional awareness and maturity. That’s because the right oils used in the right situation can soften us, shift the flow of energy, and help us make sense of the way that we feel.

“Aromatherapy helped me clear out the noise… So I can listen to myself and follow my truth.”

This episode is fascinating - and profound.

Make healing yourself a priority, and you inadvertently heal everyone around you. Maybe the most powerful things we can do as individuals is to open ourselves up so we can show up in the world from a place of abundance - instead of scarcity.

That’s what essential oils can help you do.

So if you struggle to manage and process your emotions. If you’re stuck in stories that disempower you. If you’re tied up in emotions connected to events that happened years - even decades ago - you’ll get a lot from this conversation.

Oh and we talk about coffee too :)

Coffee is a plant after all and as you’ll see it has some powerful properties that can unlock joy and influence who comes into our lives.

I had no ideas how powerful essential oils could be until I heard Desiree and Alonto share their experiences and knowledge. Now I want to know more and more and I think you’ll feel the same. So brew yourself a cup of coffee and tune in. Give me an hour and I’ll give you a whole new perspective on emotional well-being.

“The negative gives you the positive. You can’t have light if you don’t know darkness.”

Some questions I ask:

  • How did you guys meet? [1:04]
  • How did you get into aromatherapy, essential oils, acupuncture, and emotional healing? [1:54]
  • How can our emotional state be influenced by our senses? [6:31]
  • How do you use aromatherapy to treat pain? [14:18]
  • When using aromatherapy to heal, how much of the transition is due to the oil itself or your own reaction to the oil? [18:20]
  • Give me a story about how aromatherapy and sensory awareness has helped you in your own life. [24:46]
  • What’s the difference between noise and a negative emotion? [29:16]
  • How have your emotions evolved over time as you’ve learned more about them? [33:15]
  • How does emotional maturity tie back to happiness and fulfillment and how does this change over time? [38:52]
  • In the midst of everything you’ve gone through, how do you stay grounded on a daily basis? [51:17]

In this episode, you will hear about:

  • The power of journaling to build your awareness and what to write about. [10:17]
  • The three main ways that habits are developed. [11:10]
  • How smell is able to create a vivid emotion and recall vivid memories. [12:30]
  • How essential oils or plants pair with emotions to help transform how you feel. [15:24]
  • Stranded on a desert island? Desiree would want this oil with her. [16:42]
  • How bergamont brings about a shift in perspective to help boost your sense of hope (and why you can’t just take out emotions without replacing them with something else). [17:28]
  • The aromatic benefits of coffee and its associated organs. [21:14]
  • How taste affects our emotions. [23:14]
  • ‘Infobesity’ - and how oils can help you find the music and rhythm amongst the noise that you’re supposed to dance to. [28:23]
  • Why all emotions are beautiful and how to gracefully move through emotions. [31:19]
  • The importance of discernment and knowing when to say yes and no. [32:01]
  • Why none of us are inherently lacking - instead, it’s just the stories we tell ourselves. [41:19]
  • Why the subconscious mind makes it so hard for us to change. [43:20]

  • 124. 124. Raj Jana: What If Nothing in Your Life Is Random? How to Decode Your Soul's Purpose (Repost)

    25:25||Season 2, Ep. 124
    What if every heartbreak, every failure, every person who showed up and walked away — was actually pointing you toward your purpose?Most of us move through life reacting to what happens — calling it bad luck, calling it unfair, calling it "just the way things are." But what if you zoomed out far enough to see the pattern? The same type of relationship that keeps showing up. The same wall you keep hitting at work. The same feeling that follows you no matter how much you try to outrun it.What if none of it was random — and all of it was trying to teach you something?In this episode, Raj introduces a simple but powerful idea: your life has a purpose, and that purpose is hidden inside the very experiences you wish never happened. He breaks it down into two layers — the lessons you're here to heal from and the life you're here to step into — and explains why most people stay stuck in the first layer without ever realizing there's a second one waiting for them.What You'll Discover:Why the same painful patterns keep repeating in your life — and what they're actually trying to show you about your deeper purposeThe difference between the wounds you're here to heal and the life you're here to build — and why understanding both is the key to finally moving forwardWhy "just the way I am" is the most expensive belief you'll ever carry — and the mindset shift that puts your life back in your handsThe moment Raj realized that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice — and the simple distinction that changed everythingHow to use your past as a map — a reflection practice that helps you connect the dots and see the deeper intelligence behind what you've been throughWhy trusting yourself enough to try something new — even without a guarantee — is the real work most personal growth skips overThe reason your life might feel like it's falling apart right now — and why that breakdown could be the setup for the version of you that's trying to emergeHow to stop waiting for permission, clarity, or the "right time" and start walking toward the life that's been calling you all alongIf you've ever felt like there has to be more to life than what you're experiencing — like there's a reason behind the struggle that you just can't see yet — this episode will help you see it.

    52:52||Season 2, Ep. 123
    What if the moments you most want to escape are the exact moments that are rewiring you?Most of us were taught to fix, push through, or numb the hard stuff. When conflict hits a relationship, when a business deal falls apart, when fear grips your chest — we run. We reach for the phone, the distraction, the solution. But what if the single most transformative thing you could do in those moments is the one thing nobody taught you: just be in it?In this raw and deeply personal monthly reflection, Raj sits down with his close friend Nasya Miller in Nosara, Costa Rica to unpack a month that included getting engaged, navigating business pivots, sitting in emotional turbulence with his partner, and discovering a weekly practice that changed the way he digests life. This isn't theory — it's wisdom from the trenches of building a business, deepening love, and learning how to die well so you can actually live.What You'll Discover:Why a neuroscientist says the moment you're most triggered is the exact moment you're most neuroplastic — and how to use that to rewire yourself in real timeThe ancient weekly practice that gave Raj a rhythm of rest and reflection he didn't know he was missing — and how it accelerated his integrationWhat it felt like to close "a thousand timelines" by getting on one knee — and why that single choice rearranged everythingThe difference between knowing something is a gift and actually feeling it as one — and what shifts when that gap finally closesWhy your triggers aren't your partner's fault, and the specific reframe that moves you from blame to liberation in secondsHow to access the intuitive guidance of your future self — the father, the leader, the 86-year-old version of you who's already been through thisThe surprising question a mentor gave Raj that reoriented his entire relationship with uncertainty: "What miracles are about to arrive in my life today?"Why getting better at "dying" — letting old identities, plans, and beliefs dissolve — is the single most important skill for anyone navigating changeIf you're in a season of uncertainty, transition, or emotional intensity and you're wondering how to stay rooted in playfulness, hope, and trust while everything shifts around you — this episode is your permission slip to stop fixing and start feeling.

The son of a Manhattan Project physicist, he has advised President George W.

  • 120. 120. Brandon Bozarth: How Your Relationships Are Either Healing or Destroying Your Health (German New Medicine Explained)

    01:02:07||Season 2, Ep. 120
    What if everything you've been told about disease is wrong?What if your chronic symptoms aren't caused by bad genes, toxins, or bad luck—but by unresolved conflict in your relationships?In this paradigm-shifting episode, Raj sits down with Brandon Bozarth, a practitioner of German New Medicine and biological relating, to explore the revolutionary discovery that ALL disease begins with a "conflict shock"—and that your relationships are either healing you or making you sick.What You'll Learn:What is German New Medicine, and why did Dr. Hamer's personal tragedy lead to a discovery that challenges everything Western medicine believes about disease?How does a single shocking moment create a cascade of physical symptoms—and why does your brain not know the difference between real danger and perceived threat?What are the two phases every illness goes through, and why are your symptoms actually signs of healing, not attack?How do your childhood experiences literally shape the diseases you'll face as an adult?Why do men and women experience completely different "territory conflicts"—and how does living outside your biological design create chronic illness?What happens hormonally when a man loses his "maleness" through conflict shock, and how does this show up in modern relationships?How can understanding your partner's biology prevent the conflict shocks that lead to depression, infertility, and autoimmune conditions?What's the exact path to resolving a conflict so deeply that the original trigger can never affect you again?Here's the truth: Your body isn't broken. It's adapting. Every symptom is a message, and your relationships hold the key to decoding it.If you're tired of chasing supplements, doctors, and diagnoses that never quite work—this episode offers something different: a framework for understanding WHY your body does what it does, and the profound healing possible when you finally address the root.Your healing might be one relationship shift away.🎧 Listen now.Connect with Raj:Liber8: www.liber8.health/programNewsletter – 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_janaConnect with Brandon:German New Medicine School: https://www.brandonbozarth.com/bioskoolInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brandon.bozarth/Legal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

  • 116. 116. Dr. Zach Bush: The Courage to Feel – How Embracing Pain Becomes the Doorway to Infinite Freedom (Repost)

    What if the thing you've been running from your entire life is the exact doorway to your freedom?Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician who spent 17 years in academic medicine—running ICUs, bone marrow transplant units, and managing end-stage disease—before discovering that the root of nearly all illness traces back to one thing: stuck emotions. 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. To be alive is to grieve and marvel in equal measure. And the courage to feel—fully, without resistance—is the medicine this world needs most.
