Are you exploring different truths?  I’ll start by saying this; you may want to listen to this one twice. For some of you this topic may be confronting, even triggering, especially if this is a new topic that you haven’t had an opportunity to research. For others, this conversation will only be familiar to you if you’ve done some pretty deep exploration and spiritual work, and opened your mind up to the possibilities of the world around us and further into the cosmic reasons for our being here on this earth and in this reality. This week my guest introduces herself as an alien from the future, also known as a walk in, who is dedicating her time in this body to being a guardian for the evolution of humanity at this time. Ahaumna is also a friend of mine who, among normal human experiences like hikes, visits, and events, also was a part of something that I have never really touched on publicly on this podcast; my experience with an exorcism.  This world, and especially this time in history, is full of information and misinformation that we all have the choice to either believe or disregard. This week I ask you to open your mind to some of the potential truths that may not have been available to you just yet, and allow yourself to feel into what feels true to you. Myself, I’m still in the inquiry of what I believe around this topic. But Ahaumna provides a light into a space that is deep, cosmic, and maybe closer to us than we really realize. The virus of our time may not be what we think it is. Go deep with us on this week's episode, and I truly am excited to receive your thoughts and your own experiences regarding this disruptive, fantastic, and for some; unbelievable topic.  The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

How sacred is sex? I haven’t had sex in a while. It’s been intentional, and it’s honestly been such an amazing experience of introspection and even healing, but I’m not going to say it’s been easy necessarily. Now I acknowledge that my idea of “a while” may be different than yours when it comes to being physically intimate, but one of the interesting topics of personal inquiry that have come out of this time of celibacy has been in actually recognizing how sacred it is for me to connect with and even share my energy with someone.  This week I decided to talk about sex and sexuality with one of my favorite human beings on the planet, as well as a highly qualified person to discuss this topic with, my friend Dr. Cat Meyer. Dr. Cat is a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in sex and trauma, as well as alternative relationship styles. Her platform Sex Love Yoga helps to evolve the relationships we have towards sex and to our bodies, and over all enhance our experience around sexuality. Join us for a deep conversation about the importance of understanding your own sexuality, how it can impact yourself and your sexual partners, and what it is you are actually seeking through sex in the first place.  The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

When is all this inner work actually done? I don’t think it would be a stretch to say that if you’re a listener and fan of this podcast, you have spent at least a little time in your life learning about and focusing on personal development work. Because this work is one of the most important inquiries in my life, and something I have very much dedicated my practice to; personal development and inner work has naturally become a topic of a lot of different podcast episodes as well as a big part of my work in the CREATE Community. It’s all about how we can continue to heal and up-level so that we can really live life as the highest versions of ourselves.  But how much inner work is too much? When do we actually get to claim healing, or is it a perpetual journey of deeper layers? As always, it’s another Deep Dive question that for this episode, I felt the perfect guest would be my good friend as well as a high level coach in the personal development space who brings with him an amazing story of inner work and personal development triumphs, Jason Goldberg. Two men who have a LOT of time in doing inner work and studying the world of personal development, discussing whether there is a point of diminishing returns, where that level of deep inquiry into our human experience can actually become too much.

How important is integration?  In a pretty fast paced world and a culture that often relies on being busy to be successful, we end up with an incredible amount of experiences in our lives. So much so that I would go as far as saying that we probably only really notice and acknowledge a small portion of them, and therefore sometimes fail to see how these experiences affect our realities and our lives in general. I believe that this is often due to a lack of understanding the importance of integrating these experiences, slowing down and really being able to reflect on a time in your life or an experience you’ve been through (or even just your day) and feel into what effect these unique experiences are really having on you and the reality around you.    This week I want to share with you some of my thoughts about integration and why it has become such an important part of my life and my practice. The topic comes to me after an incredible trip and time in Egypt, where I experienced more than I could really explain and if I’m being honest; haven’t yet had the time or the opportunity to truly integrate. That time will come, but for now I would like to open up the conversation and share some of my experience, in this week’s episode of The Deep Dive.  The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Where do you find inspiration?  In my podcast I have always stressed the importance of creativity in our lives, and how it can benefit and impact a healthy experience. That being said, as a creator I am also an entrepreneur. Beyond my podcast there is my platform and online coaching business called the CREATE Community, my artwork and poetry, and numerous other projects that take a team and operations, content calendars, schedules, meetings, and on and on. I love all of it and always find myself on the path of my highest excitement in the process, but in the midst of all of it, I can definitely find it hard to find inspiration sometimes.  Recently I experienced one of these inspirational blocks, and in this week’s episode I wanted to share with you how I chose to move through it and get myself back to a place of creativity and artistic creation. Are you going to sit back and wait for inspiration to find you? Or are you ready to go out there and actively create inspiration, and allow an inspirational container into your life?  I hope this one inspires you to find inspiration, express yourself, and create something beautiful.

Does spirituality have a place in a relationship?  Trigger warning; this may be a difficult question to grasp at first. But in my last couple years of travels, whether they are physical travels, astral, or relationships, I’ve noticed that there is a level of spirituality that can be supportive of healthy relationships and one that also seems to repel it. During some of my time in Austin I’ve had the opportunity to connect with some brothers and leaders in the conscious community who work specifically with men and masculine healing, and when the topic of dating and relationship has come up there has seemed to be a similar theme. Are men sick of dating “spiritual women”? Now, this question is meant to be a Deep Dive. What does spirituality actually mean? How does it benefit a relationship, or does it? And what is the core of truth behind the rise of the divine femenine and how does it match with the true masculine that also gets to be supported? I was grateful to have this conversation with Stefanos Sifandos, who among all of the work he has done in relationships and mens work, I consider to be a real human and a real man within this community. We dive into the topic of relationships, consciousness and spirituality, and how these affect (positively or negatively) a relationship, and the conversation is one that I think will add value whether you are in a relationship or out of one.  Enjoy the episode.

Is casual sex healthy?  Intimacy is an amazing thing. Whether it is a physical romantic connection or an emotional one, becoming truly intimate with another is the most vulnerable and authentic way that you can show up in a relationship. But, it can be terrifying. As we grow and learn things for the first time, we become guarded to experiences that cause us to feel different because it can feel uncomfortable and even make us feel isolated. We may not realize it at the time, but looking back, it is those experiences that allow us to accept the parts of ourselves that are unique and therefore valuable to a collective that can only be benefited by those gifts and experiences that only you can bring.  This week I invited Matt Cama, a superstar coach of relationship and sexuality, to talk about the topic of sex in and outside of relationships. What is casual sex, and is it healthy? Though this question has many answers and opinions, I valued the perspective and the conversation that was brought up in this episode and hope that it might bring new insight into your relationships with others, and with yourself. As always, it comes back to self love.  Enjoy the episode.  The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Do you prioritize your personal health?  Mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual; being aware and focused on our health is more important now than it has ever been in our lives. Personally I have been on my own journey with this, and I’m sure many of you have too. I’ve worked hard on my health in many ways. I fast, I work out, I meditate, journal, pray, and continue to allow my mind to accept new perspectives and possibilities to allow myself to continue to expand and grow. The balance can be difficult, and can become harder when something unexpected happens that can potentially shake confidence and trust. For me, I experienced this very recently when I experienced a certain… bug that has been going around. To put it bluntly, it got real.  This week I want to talk about not only my experience with this very talked about, and very famous virus and pandemic; but I want to talk about what it brought up for me personally. I have committed myself and my platform to being open and sensitive around this topic. Through podcasts and poetry I have tried to address not just my own, but the collective concerns about this time in our human history in a way that reminds us to continue to choose love. So when I experienced it personally I was able to gain a new perspective and reality that I would like to share with you in the hopes that it might allow more awareness, and most importantly compassion.  Here is my experience, here are my thoughts, and here is my perspective.

What does “holding space” mean to you?  We have been witnessing a huge shift in the dynamics between the masculine and the feminine in our generation. Over time, we are coming to the realization that a lot of our concepts of what it means to be man or woman, in life or in relationships, have been deeply affected by ideas that don’t necessarily hold value to the world we live in today. We continue to love, we still pursue relationships and connection, and we still seek understanding in what it means to be in our power and balance within the masculine and feminine within us. But, should we be more committed and aware of the change that needs to happen?  On this week’s episode of The Deep Dive I chat with Sheleana Aiyana, founder of The Rising Woman which has over 2.4 million followers on Instagram alone, and has created a platform where she coaches and encourages women to become more empowered and aware of their strength and power in relationships and life. For any of you who may be looking to understand more about what it means to be divinely feminine and an empowered woman; this is a special episode that I don’t want you to miss.  The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

If you could ask me one question, what would it be?  I believe that part of being in a community of like minded people is being able to have open dialog and conversations with each other, to communicate and ask questions, and share insights and perspectives. Especially with this podcast, a lot of the topics and guests I bring on can leave the audience with further questions and I want to be able to open up the floor, so to speak, and make sure that you feel heard.  This week’s podcast episode is a new idea and a concept that allows YOU to get involved in a unique way that is the first of its kind on The Deep Dive. A Q&A. This week I invited the members of the CREATE Community’s Facebook group (which is free to join) to ask me anything, and we got a great response. Though I couldn’t answer all of them, this episode has a few questions that you might have wondered as well, and I answer them to the best of my ability. Enjoy the episode and I look forward to your questions on our next Q&A podcast.  The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

What do we actually know about our own history?  For many years, the subject of our ancient cultures and their societal structures has fascinated me. What is interesting to me isn't necessarily what we know about these people and these times, but what we don’t know that has been locked away in the pages of time and how this knowledge might actually change the way we live today. In 2017 I was invited to join a group of thought leaders, scientists, and evolutionary thinkers, to explore one of the world’s most impressive and mysterious wonders; the pyramids of Egypt. To say this experience was enlightening and inspiring would be an understatement, and though it taught me so much about this place and these amazing structures it also left me with many questions; and with one question in particular that continues to stand out.  Who built the pyramids, and why?  On this week’s episode I was joined by Robert Grant, who among his detailed resume as a CEO, President, and Chairman of multiple companies and projects; is the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Crown Sterling Limited LLC, a next-generation Cryptography company based on discoveries from his work in geometry and mathematics. I met Robert on that same trip to Egypt and this week wanted to talk with him about the experience, what it has taught him and how it has changed his life, and a little about an exciting adventure that we are about to embark on in the near future to see what more we can discover about the ancient wonders that are the pyramids of Egypt.  To follow along with us and get a virtual pass and behind the scenes access to our upcoming journey to Egypt go to https://egyptvp.eventbrite.com/?aff=Adam The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Are you having great sex?  I’ve always found it interesting that one of the most common and amazing parts about being human is also one of the most taboo and mis-understood. Perhaps it’s a bit of a personal subject, but sex is a hugely important and very normal part of our human experience. Sex is an art, and like any other art form it’s beauty stems from the fact that it is not something that can be mastered. It is continually learned through practice, education, and dedication to it.  This week I want to talk about one of the most important, yet often overlooked parts about intimacy that I believe can help you to experience better sex and better connection with yourself and your partner. Though my answer may sound simple, the concept behind it is one that we talk about a lot on the podcast and one that I believe can be applied to many growth areas of our lives. No matter how “good” you may think you are, when it comes to sex there is always room for growth.  The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Do you understand cryptocurrency?  It’s been a pretty huge topic of conversation in the last few years. The emergence of alternative currencies that are aiming to decentralize what the banking system currently controls. Money. It seems like even though it can be a bit of an up and down investment experience, those that know about cryptocurrencies are confident that it is an innovative opportunity to take power back and put the control of our financial system in the hands of the public.  So why isn’t everyone investing in crypto?  This week I’m joined by Oto Gomes, an expert in the crypto space as well as a heart centered entrepreneur who brings awareness to the foundations of crypto and helps us to understand a little more about why we should at least know what cryptocurrencies are offering, and why so many people believe that they are the future of finance.   The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Are you really in control?  It’s a bit of a crazy global climate that we’re living in currently. It seems that for the last while we have been experiencing a period of division and confusion that I wish I could say was the first of its kind. The problem is however, that we’ve seen it before. For most of human history we have been controlled, directly or indirectly, by agendas that may or may not be known to the public yet carry a huge impact on our livelihood and most importantly, our freedom. It’s intriguing and sobering at the same time to witness this pattern playing out before our eyes in today's day and age whether it is in business, entertainment, politics, or global health and wellness, and no matter what opinions you hold it’s hard to disagree with the notion that it seems that our portrayed level of control over our own lives is at a relatively all time low in recent history.  So what do we do about it?  This week I want to share with you some of my own thoughts about the times we are in, and our ability to be an influence in our own experience of it. To become aware of new perspectives is to give yourself choice in old ones, so I invite you to listen with an open mind and share your thoughts with me by heading to the new Deep Dive Instagram page.

What does it mean to be masculine?  So much progress has been made in these last few years around the subject of gender dynamics and making sure that we are all included and acknowledged for both our masculine and feminine energies. We all have both, and neither of these dynamics are tied to one specific gender. Masculine energy is strong, stable, and self-confident. It is decisive, and loves direction and a purpose. The feminine energy is caring and nurturing, creative and collaborative, grateful and receptive. Understanding these traits within ourselves is an important part of living life with balance, and being our true selves.  But what happens when we are not allowing ourselves to seek this balance? In a culture where we are often told what it is supposed to look like to be a man or a woman, we can sometimes avoid the energies and dynamics of our yin and yang energies so that we can feel like we fit in, like we are “normal”. That’s why this week I decided to invite Connor Beaton on to the show to discuss what it looks like when men (specifically) are out of balance with both their feminine and masculine sides. Connor is the founder of ManTalks which is an international organization focused on men’s health, wellness, success and fulfillment, and I thought he’d be perfect to help me dive into the question, “Have Conscious Men Become Too Soft?”   The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Do you love yourself?  I know. It’s a tough question to answer. Self love is a somewhat trendy term and concept these days but the root of it has never been more important. At a time where there is a pandemic of confusion and misinformation, it can seem like a bit of a struggle to really look inward and find the power in ourselves to create and dedicate ourselves to an abundant reality that is beneficial to ourselves, our planet, and the people around us. I believe that abundance is not just something that we are born into, but something that we are capable of learning and applying to our lives no matter where we come from.  Myself, I have struggled with the concept of loving myself. It’s taken me tons of work, more than I wish upon anyone, to discover my own worth and how I can help others to see theirs. But because of that work and my own personal journey, I have discovered that it is available to anyone willing to open themselves to it. So what is the secret?  This week, I want to share my secret to self love with you. It’s not just a switch, or some key that you can find, but more a perspective shift to the somewhat momentary experiences we have in life that can make the most monumental differences.  To go deeper and learn more about my journey with self love and how to apply it to your life, I have written a book and journal that I believe can help you to experience more love and self worth in your life starting today. Go to https://adamroa.com/products/treat-yourself-like-someone-you-love-journal and I look forward to hearing from you.   Also, the CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Are psychedelics the only hope to save humanity?  Even though it is estimated that over 40 million people in the USA alone use some form of psychedelic substances today, it continues to surprise me how taboo the subject still remains. I have been completely open about my use of psychedelics and the impact the work has done in my life, and my intention behind sharing this part of me has been to break some of the stigma behind these types of medicines and allow people to make more informed decisions about the use of them. I fully believe that when used responsibly and properly, they can offer true healing and deep spiritual connection, and science is starting to come around to actually back up that theory.  On this episode of The Deep Dive I was excited to feature Psychedelic advocate, author, and international speaker Laura Dawn, who has been leading transformational retreats for over 10 years and inspires people to wake up to greater possibilities in their lives through the study and exploration of psychedelic medicines and experiences. The question this week; Are psychedelics the only hope to save humanity? And while the question may come off with a touch of humor attached to it, we go deep into the state of the world today, the people in it, and how we can start to look at alternative ways to heal the hearts and minds of our planet and ultimately create more love and understanding.   The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Are you creating enough space for creativity? If you’ve been following me or this podcast for a while it may come as no surprise to you that I consider myself a creative. In fact, I’ve pretty much dedicated every aspect of my life to creativity, to strengthening that muscle that allows me to think outside of the box and really create. Now, even though much of my life and my work may come off as quite extroverted, I also consider myself an introvert in a lot of ways; perhaps, a “creative introvert”. I believe that to be artistically creative there is a certain amount of space and seclusion that we need in order to foster an environment that is conducive to uncensored creation. This week I want to dive into some of the reasoning behind this concept and how I’ve applied it to my work and my art. As always, there is a bit of a deeper meaning in this that doesn’t just apply to art. We are all meant to be creative in our lives; in our day to day, our work, our play. So are you giving yourself enough time to truly sit back, take the space, and allow creativity to happen? The CREATE Community is back and currently accepting new members!

Do you grow more in relationship or when you’re single? For those of you who have followed me for a while you know that to say I’ve experienced the relationship game would be somewhat of an understatement. I was in a 10 year relationship, very quickly moved into another relationship that lasted for about a year, spent some time single, then was at it again for a brief period. What can I say? I have enjoyed being in partnership, and have learned so much about myself from my partners. My own personal growth has definitely made it a little difficult at times to fully open and surrender to love, but as I’ve learned more about myself and what I truly want I’ve found it amazing to see where the lessons come from. Especially those that pertain to love and relationships. Though I've learned a LOT from my former partners, the partnerships themselves, and the transitions out of them, I want to share with you some of the things I’ve learned from my time being single. At this place in my life I find myself feeling more empowered, more aligned, and honestly more excited about life, and it’s something I don’t think I would be experiencing on the same level if I hadn’t made an agreement with myself to spend some intentional time in my life outside of partnership, sovereign, and single.

Are you over your ex? This was a vulnerable podcast! In fact I would say this is a vulnerable topic for anyone who has been in, and out, of a meaningful relationship. No matter how tumultuous or amicable a relationship transition (or breakup) may be, there always seems to be an element of sadness or heaviness that follows. It’s natural. During relationships we experience deep connection, some would say an emotional addiction, and it can be very difficult to navigate the end of it. But does that difficulty last forever? I’ve been intrigued by this question, and I’ve also been interested in the perspective that my friend Chelsey Jo Huntsman might  have on the topic. Chelsey is a coach, spiritual guide, pleasure priestess, and among other things an amazing human being who I had the opportunity to interview on this week’s episode. Do we really ever get over an ex? Does that feeling ever actually fade? Join Chelsey and I in this week’s Deep Dive question and I’m looking forward to your perspective.
