January 30, 2026The Jōrni PodcastEpisode 356 - Growing up with Schizoid Personality Disorder with Blair SorrelThis episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.What does it feel like to know something is profoundly wrong but have no language for the pain, to spend decades being told to just try harder when the very act of trying pushes you further into isolation? Some of us carry defenses formed so early in childhood that we mistake them for who we are, and those protective patterns become the walls that keep out everything we think we want.The belief that the right job or relationship will finally fix us falls apart when the condition itself blocks our ability to get close enough to anyone or anything that might help. Some wounds stay invisible until they are why we cannot keep a job, cannot leave home, or cannot care for our own needs, and recognition is what turns decades of confusion into something we can finally work with.BLAIR SORRELBlair Sorrel is an author, innovator, and animal lover. She was Free Time’s “Dollarwise Dilettante” columnist, Together Dating Service’s matchmaker, and New York Blood Services’ apheresis recruiter. She founded StreetZaps to protect dogs and people from stray voltage, and was the first community representative invited by Con Edison to their annual Jodie S. Lane Stray Voltage Detection, Mitigation, and Prevention National Conference. Her memoir is A Schizoid at Smith: How Overparenting Leads to Underachieving.RESOURCEShttps://www.rockingtributes.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/blair-sorrel-808a5034/A Schizoid at Smith - Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Schizoid-Smith-Overparenting-Leads-Underachieving/dp/1639889272/THE JORNI RESOURCEShttps://thejornipodcast.com for show noteshttps://thejorniblog.com for more holistic healing and mental health resourceshttps://thejorni.comLIKED THIS EPISODE?Share this episode on social media and leave us a short review!https://thejornipodcast.com/episode-356-growing-up-with-schizoid-personality-disorder-with-blair-sorrel

Episode 355 - Connecting with Your Authenticity with Marcia Martin

January 27, 2026The Jōrni PodcastEpisode 355 - Connecting with Your Authenticity with Marcia MartinThis episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.We spend so much energy searching for the person or program or practice that will finally show us who we are, but what happens when the very thing promising transformation becomes the thing that pulls us furthest from ourselves? The patterns we develop in childhood about power, approval, and worthiness do not disappear when we enter spiritual or personal development spaces, and sometimes the most charismatic teachers are the ones we most need to question.There is a difference between what we have been taught is right and what actually works for our lives, and learning to tell them apart requires us to get centered enough to hear the signals the universe keeps sending. We want to believe that betrayal and heartbreak mean we failed, but sometimes they are exactly the wake-up call we needed to stop giving our power away and start trusting that who we are is already enough.MARCIA MARTINMarcia Martin is an entrepreneur extraordinaire, renowned global speaker, and master personal and business coach dedicated to helping people create a business and life they love. Often called the “Grand Dame of Transformation,” she was an original pioneer of the Human Potential Movement and was Senior Vice President at Werner Erhard’s EST, helping take the company from inception to a graduate base of millions.She helped Tony Robbins launch his first great book Unleash Your Power and take his organization national, trained for LifeSpring, helped market the Hoffman Institute, and was Co Creator and CEO of the Transformational Leadership Council. Her students and clients have included Lynne Twist, Robert Kiyosaki, Anthony Robbins, Jack Canfield, T. Harv Eker, and Mari Smith.She has trained over 300,000 people worldwide in communication and leadership skills and was knighted for her humanitarian contribution to the world working on saving the Rainforest and ending hunger.RESOURCEShttps://marciamartin.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcia-martin-/https://www.facebook.com/marciamartinproductionshttps://marciamartintransform.com/thebookSex, Power, and Transformation - Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Sex-Power-Transformation-inside-self-help/dp/B0FNLCH2G5/THE JORNI RESOURCEShttps://thejornipodcast.com for show noteshttps://thejorniblog.com for more holistic healing and mental health resourceshttps://thejorni.comLIKED THIS EPISODE?Share this episode on social media and leave us a short review!https://thejornipodcast.com/episode-355-connecting-with-your-authenticity-with-marcia-martin

Episode 353 - Healing in the Heart of Nature with Aaron Poochigian

January 20, 2026The Jōrni PodcastEpisode 353 - Healing in the Heart of Nature with Aaron PoochigianThis episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.What do we reach for when the life we built stops working, when creativity vanishes and the world shrinks down to something unbearable? The path back from that edge can look nothing like we expect, and sometimes it starts with a commitment we make to ourselves about where we will show up and what we refuse to bring there.We forget that our bodies hold intelligence our minds have lost access to, that presence is not a gift but a muscle we have to rebuild after spending too long trapped in our own thoughts. The way back to ourselves often requires us to slow down enough to notice what has been right in front of us the entire time, and sometimes that simple act of paying attention becomes the thing that saves us.AARON POOCHIGIANAaron Poochigian is a poet, classics scholar, and translator who lives and writes in New York City. His many translations include Stung with Love (Penguin UK) — a translation of Sappho, and Marcus Aurelius’ “Meditations” (forthcoming from W.W. Norton).His work has appeared in such newspapers and journals as The Financial Times, The New York Review of Books, and Poetry Magazine.

Episode 352 - The Flow State with Carolyn Litton

January 16, 2026The Jōrni PodcastEpisode 352 - The Flow State with Carolyn LittonMost of us work harder to get more done, but what if slowing down is what creates the real momentum? There is a state where things feel effortless, where we are moving with something rather than against it.That magnetic pull toward what we actually want does not come from pushing. It comes from getting quiet enough to receive what is already trying to reach us, even when we might not quite be able to see how it will all unfold.CAROLYN LITTONCarolyn Litton is a Transformational Guide, Speaker, and Retreat Host, and the founder of The Vision Project — a movement helping high achievers and leaders feel better and achieve more by shifting from force to flow.A former award-winning loan officer turned transformational guide, Carolyn blends neuroscience, universal law, and practical habit work to help people align their energy, elevate their state of mind, and create success that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.Through her Vision, Ground, Grow method, she helps clients and audiences reconnect to their authentic vision, ground their energy, and grow through inspired action and community.Carolyn is also the founder of Hearts for Hope, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings communities together to support those experiencing homelessness — a project born from the very principles she teaches through The Vision Project.RESOURCEShttps://vpmanifest.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolyn-litton-43396528https://www.facebook.com/VPManifesthttps://www.facebook.com/carolyn.weritzlitton/https://www.instagram.com/thevision_project_Castle Retreathttps://thejornievents.com/retreats/THE JORNI RESOURCEShttps://thejornipodcast.com for show noteshttps://thejorniblog.com for more holistic healing and mental health resourceshttps://thejorni.comLIKED THIS EPISODE?Share this episode on social media and leave us a short review!https://thejornipodcast.com/episode-352-the-flow-state-with-carolyn-litton
