61. Adam Roa | Love Is Our Expander

We don’t expand ourselves, LOVE expands us. So excited to share Adam Roa’s medicine on TGU today. Humans are in a constant state of expansion; every choice we make affects who we are becoming. Adam shares his journey to self-love and his life-altering awakening at 18 years old that presented him with either an opportunity to evolve or to remain in the cycle of chasing adequacy. Something I resonate deeply with. Amongst sharing his own journey, Adam holds space for me to share a few of my current unlearnings; specifically in my intimate relationship.

Om Podcasten

We grew up in a world we didn’t create. And one idea after the next—whether it was culture or society—we were told how to look, how to feel, and who to be. We were told that if we checked off the “right” boxes (think: career, car, money), we’d feel good, we’d be whole, and—naturally—we’d be set. But, turns out, there’s more to the story. On The Great Unlearn, Cal dives into unlearning and questioning what the world taught us, and—in the process—how to be the truest version of yourself, minus the bullshit. Whether it’s figuring out how to navigate a relationship, dealing with your emotions, diving into spirituality, or just feeling comfortable in your own skin, Cal and friends navigate the choppy waters of what it really takes to unlearn all the ideas we took for granted, and how to be the best version of what, sometimes, can be so hard to be: yourself.
