Adam Roa, a magnetic stage poet whose words seem to reach straight into your soul, shares how he turned vulnerability into his superpower. He talks about his journey from feeling emotionally shut down to commanding stages around the world with authenticity and heart. This isn’t just about performing—it’s about connecting on a level that leaves people moved and inspired. Adam gets real about how being open about his struggles has helped him create deeper relationships and connections. He breaks down how storytelling, especially the classic hero’s journey, can make your words hit differently and stick with people. Whether you’re speaking to an audience or just trying to connect better in your everyday life, you’ll walk away with ideas you can actually use. And it’s not just talk—Adam shares how his years of acting and performing shaped his stage presence and confidence. Plus, he takes it deeper with his poem “A Message From Death,” showing how embracing life’s changes can lead to profound growth. If you’ve ever felt like you had something important to say but didn’t know how to say it, this episode is your chance to learn from someone who’s mastered the art of speaking straight to the heart.

[00:16:33] Beauty in pain through art. [00:22:30] Finding gratitude in life's challenges. [00:25:24] Charisma and presence on stage. [00:27:41] Art as a technology.

Just like throwing something away is not the same thing as giving. So, if you haven't yet found your love of life, I suggest you keep on digging and allow yourself to feel your way through all the hurt and all the rage." – Adam Roa "I think vulnerability is the gateway to connection. And when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we are actually opening up the possibility for incredibly deep connection. And it's also opening up the possibility of being rejected. And so, there's an inherent fear or risk that comes with that vulnerability. But that's also what makes it inspiring.

  • Breaking Free: Neil Strauss on Healing Trauma to Build Authentic Love | Ep59

    Breaking Free: Neil Strauss on Healing Trauma to Build Authentic Love | Ep59
    Nov 18 2024
    Sometimes, love and relationships aren’t as straightforward as we’d like them to be. This week, we sat down with Neil Strauss—a famous Writer for the Rolling Stone magazine and New York Times Bestselling Author, known for his thought-provoking works, including "The Game" and "The Truth," and for pulling back the curtain on what really goes on beneath the surface of love and connection. Neil opened up about his personal journey, from the world of pick-up artistry to his quest for something deeper and real. If you’ve ever wondered why relationships can feel so intense or why it’s hard to trust, you’re going to find so much in his story that hits home. We didn’t hold back in this episode, diving straight into the fears we all carry about love and why those fears often drive us in directions we don’t expect. Neil’s perspective on attachment styles and the impact of our past experiences is not only eye-opening but also deeply validating. You’ll hear us share our own struggles with trusting intentions in relationships, especially when the past is hard to shake. Neil’s wisdom brings a whole new understanding of how we can transform those old patterns and finally find peace with our needs. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your own emotions in relationships or just can’t seem to find someone who “gets” you, this episode is for you. Neil’s stories, advice, and raw honesty left us inspired and ready to take on love with a fresh perspective. Join us for a deep, unforgettable conversation on love, trust, and the power of vulnerability. Key Timestamps [00:02:52] Transition from pick-up artistry. [00:05:18] Emotional safety in relationships. [00:08:30] Self-fulfilling prophecies and trauma. [00:11:28] Toxic masculinity and emotional safety. [00:15:23] Psychopaths and their control. [00:17:28] Intention versus emotional safety. [00:20:30] Attachment styles in relationships. [00:25:35] Unspoken expectations and resentments. [00:31:26] Empath women and narcissistic men. [00:35:49] Parenting styles and emotional attunement. [00:40:07] Spiritual awakening and self-discovery. [00:41:57] Healing through emotional availability. [00:47:37] Spiritual celebrity interviews. [00:49:19] Commitment vs. connection in relationships. [00:52:40] Manifestation and personal boundaries. Memorable Quotes "You can tell a trauma is at work or there's something you need to heal if you have the exact opposite result of your intention. Meaning that my intention is to make sure I don't get abandoned, but my behavior is getting me abandoned."– Neil Strauss "Sadness, pain, anger, hurt, love, all those things are feelings, but a thought would be betrayed. Like, what is the feeling of being betrayed? When you're betrayed, when you imagine, when you make up that you're betrayed, you feel sad. So, you want to be careful not to make accusations as feelings, like betrayed and disrespected. A lot of times someone might feel disrespected, but the person didn't tend to disrespect." – Neil Strauss Where to Find Our Guest Website: https://www.neilstrauss.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neil_strauss/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neilstrauss Twitter (X): https://x.com/neilstrauss To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why Every Great Love Story Needs Conflict: Lessons From Powerful Couples | Ep 58

    Why Every Great Love Story Needs Conflict: Lessons From Powerful Couples | Ep 58
    Nov 11 2024
    Intimacy can be transformative, but what happens when we make it sacred? This episode dives into the raw, transformative power of sacred sexuality through the stories of three couples who’ve been through it all—breakups, reunions, and those messy, beautiful moments that define a relationship. They’re sharing how rituals and shared practices have not only strengthened their bonds but helped them navigate conflict in a way that feels... well, sacred. Whether you're coupled up or just curious about deeper love, this one will make you see connection in a whole new light. When it comes to conflict, these couples are refreshingly honest, offering a glimpse into the ways they tackle tough times together. They’ll talk you through some seriously cool approaches to handling disagreements—think “calls to greatness” instead of arguments. It’s all about building something that feels safe, respected, and still exciting. They’re not just sharing tips—they’re giving a genuine look at what it takes to build trust, feel seen, and truly support each other. It’s the kind of understanding that goes beyond advice and into the heart of what makes love last. And, in perhaps the most beautiful part, they explore what “home” means in a relationship—a feeling of joy, safety, and shared purpose that isn’t easy to put into words but is felt deeply. Whether you’re partnered or single, these stories will get you thinking about love, connection, and how we all crave that deeper sense of belonging. Key Timestamps: [00:01:43] Sacred sexuality and relationships. [00:03:54] Energy fluency and kundalini activation. [00:09:06] Common expressions during orgasm. [00:15:07] Evolution in relationships. [00:18:31] Compromise versus settling in relationships. [00:20:28] Relationship ethos and values. [00:31:14] Parenthood deepens love and commitment. [00:37:58] Communication in relationships. [00:39:27] Safe words in conflict resolution. [00:52:23] Relationship priorities and dynamics. [00:55:20] Gender dynamics in relationships. [01:00:12] The power of feminine love. [01:08:29] Energy creation in relationships. [01:12:58] Scheduling intimacy in relationships. [01:17:24] Peak life experience. Memorable Quotes: "Get rid of the idea that sex is only about pleasure because sex is about life itself. And so if you want full spectrum aliveness, you have to open yourself into a portal of sexuality that allows you to express the fullness of your being."– Layla Martin "Sacred sexuality is… instead of needing to look outside for that aliveness, you really get to find it in your partnership—and it's because of the partnership, and the safety of your partnership that you get to then go so deep." – Johann Urb "Once your kids... your children come into the world, then you understand the word compromise—because your life changes for them, as well as for each other, because you have to help make each other better parents and be there for each other." – Richard Schiff Where to Find Our Guests: Layla Martin’s Website: https://laylamartin.com/ Dr. Baback Amen’s Website: https://www.dramenfunctional.com/ Sheila Kelley’s Website: https://bysheilakelley.com/ Richard Schiff’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therichardschiff Rachel Pringle Urb’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/positivepringle Johann Urb’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urbjohann To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below: Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Knowledge, know your body

I came across Mind Valley by accident searching for non invasive treatments to manage my menorrhagia, Polycistic ovarian syndrome, peri menopause hormonal imbalances, migraines and etc. Then, this podcast with powerful topics like FlowLiving by Alissa Vitti. I’ve come to the right place to understand the root of the problem and how I can manage it. My GYN doc. has recommended invasive surgical procedures as the solution to “my problems” but the more I researched, the more convinced I’ve become that I don’t want to onset additional symptoms or side effects from traditional methods. Knowledge, knowledge is the key to understand the fundamentals of how your body works. And that every woman is different and there is no “one-size fit” all solution. Thank you for covering this topic on women’s wellness and hormones.

Where's the rest?

It cuts off in the middle of a sentence, after the 1st of 20 ways to get into flow state. Where do we hear the rest?

Yes, we are all intuitive, we just need to pay attention. I like the "it's an extension of our 5 senses". Can't wait to read her book!

Great mind

Dr Gabor Mate is one of the greatest teachers of our time. This interview was very enlightening. I wish the interviewer was more conversational and connected instead of Q&A style.
Overall, great insights from Dr Mate.
