Unlayered
Podcast Description
Unlayered is a space for raw, reflective conversations that go beneath the surface.
I'm Pan Perera, the host of the podcast. Each episode explores the stories, beliefs, and identities we carry, often shaped by childhood, culture, or silence.
My intention is not to label them good or bad, but instead to hold space so you can gently peel them back.
If something resonates, follow the podcast, leave a review, or share it with someone who needs to hear it.
Let’s unlayer together.

We spend so much of our energy chasing, without understanding the hidden layers:
• Your childhood.
• How your parents treated you.
• The rules of your culture.
• The relationships
The mission of the 𝗨𝗡𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗗 Podcast is to help you see these layers, question them, and gently peel them back.
You’ll hear deep, raw conversations with Therapists, Healers, Entrepreneurs, Coaches and Curious Humans from all walks of life.
Let’s unlayer together!
What if the root of your anxiety isn’t in your mind, but in your body?
In this profound and practical episode, Pan sits down with Jon Otorongo, a former therapist with over 3500 hours of experience in psychedelic-assisted therapy. Before that, he had overcome years of addiction through indigenous plant medicine healing.
He is the founder of OTORHONGO, a brand that weaves psychology, somatic healing, and music. Today, he helps early-stage entrepreneurs break free from fear and self-doubt so they can heal their inner wounds and confidently bring their visions to life.
Jon unlayers the revolutionary idea that the root of our anxiety lies not in our thoughts, but in a dysregulated nervous system. This is a masterclass in ”bottom-up” healing.
𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱:
Jon's personal journey from addiction and self-hatred to becoming a therapist and musician.
Why anxiety is a bodily experience, not just a mental one (and the science behind it).
The direct link between childhood stress, neglect, and adult anxiety (and even ADHD).
Accessible tools for healing that cost no money: The power of nature, music, and authentic self-expression.
How unhealed trauma shows up as imposter syndrome and procrastination for entrepreneurs.
A simple, guided somatic technique to instantly calm your nervous system.
