This week on SpiritualiTEA, we sit down with Rio Allen — a somatic coach, breathwork and cannabis journey facilitator — whose mission is to help gay men transform pain into purpose. Together, we explore how our deepest wounds often reveal our greatest gifts, why compassion (not pressure) is the secret ingredient in spiritual growth, and how queer people are uniquely positioned as bridges to higher consciousness.

Rio opens up about his own journey of letting go of numbing behaviors, embracing his spiritual gifts, and guiding others to reclaim theirs. We also dive into:

• Fear as an energy we can work with — not just overcome

• Why spiritual gifts are activating earlier for younger generations

• The link between compulsive behaviors and untapped spiritual potential

• How cannabis, used with intention, can become a powerful healing ally

This conversation is equal parts grounding and activating — perfect for anyone feeling called to step deeper into their purpose while staying rooted in self-compassion.
