The Deep Dive with Adam Roa

Do you really know what you want?

Everyone has their tips and advice on manifestation. How to do it better, what not to do, or what to avoid. It's a deep process, one that has been studied and talked about much longer than we know. Calling in the reality that you desire, the job, partnership, abundance, health, etc is something that takes awareness and a level of personal understanding that takes a life time of exploration. So are you aware of the reason your not seeing the things you are trying to manifest? What blocks might be in the way that you may not even be conscious of?

In this week's podcast I want to share a little manifestation hack that I believe can help you develop a smoother process of calling in the reality you truly want to experience. It has to do with naming your fears, understanding the root of it, and moving through them so that you can clear space for all of the massive abundance that the universe is ready to provide to you.

Are you ready to start seeing your dreams show up in reality? I hope you enjoy this weeks musing and I'm excited to hear how it might begin to work in your life.

"Do in need to invest in myself through pain, agony, sadness, and defeat,

In order to allow myself the sweet taste of victory? "

This week I'm releasing another freestyle. Spoken word, poetry, straight from my heart and my own personal experience. I've been giving myself permission these days; permission to accept myself more, to forgive myself, and love myself. To experience the life around me with a new perspective.

And, this poem feels that way…

Do you notice the difference?

As always, I'm inviting you to listen to this poem as an inspiration for your own artist expression. Maybe one that get's to be released after such an incredible year. I also hope that you are inspired by the growth that you, and I , hear in myself through this poem. That it can be a reminder that through art and vulnerability, we are able to heal deep wounds that can allow us to continue to create amazing things not in spite of, but because of our experiences.

Enjoy the this freestyle, and I look forward to your reflections.

Do you trust yourself?

Trust is truly one of, if not the most important thing you can build if you want to have a healthy relationship. Now, most of us equate trust as something that we have with one another. Your partner, your boss, your parents, your friends; really how positive can these relationships be if we don't trust each other?

But what about building trust with yourself?

We make commitments, big and small, to ourselves almost daily. "I'm going to eat healthier, I'm going to get up early today, I'm going to call that friend that I've been wanting to reconnect with"… but what happens when we don't honor those commitments? It's as easy to break this trust with ourself as it is to lose it, or have it broken, by someone else. It just may not be as apparent unless we are looking for it.

On this weeks podcast I want to share with you an exercise consisting of three ways to not only understand the ways that you've broken trust with yourself, but rebuild it. Just like any relationship, trusting in YOU is very possibly the most important thing you can do if you want to live a healthy, happy, and empowered life. And as always, it starts with awareness.

Are you ready for a trust fall? Join me in this exercise this week and let's up level together.

How much responsibility do you take for your breakup?

Yep, that's a tough question and probably a bit of a touchy subject. But it's an important one, especially if what you want is to heal from the often uncomfortable and painful experience of transitioning out of a partnership. We sometimes tend to avoid the painful truths of our own part in what went "wrong" because, let's face it, it's so much easier to pass the blame then face the shadows in ourselves. However, when we do this we actually miss a huge opportunity for growth and expansion, as well as healing and forgiveness.

In this week's podcast, I talk about why you SHOULD blame yourself for your breakup. Though it may sound a little off when you first hear it, I talk about how to face the responsibility you have in the end of a partnership and how it can help you actually acknowledge the growth that you've done by just realizing your part in it.

Do you desire to move more smoothly through painful relationship experiences? I invite you to listen in on this weeks episode.

Is your partner experiencing the best version of you?

Sexuality is more than just…sex. It's an energy that exists in us that can be harnessed as an amazing tool to experience more joy and passion in all aspects of our life. I've been talking lately about the masculine/feminine dynamic and the role they have, especially in our relationships. I've learned a lot and been humbled in my own relationship experiences, and one of the lessons that continues to be more present is that I'm able to show up in my highest for others when I'm feeling safe being fully myself. This includes understanding the shadow, the wounding, and that inner child that can so often cause us to react in ways that don't feel in alignment with who we are inside.

This week I was honored to connect with my friend Nadine Lee in a conversation around the beautiful and sometimes challenging dynamics of knowing ourselves properly in a relationship, and the work it takes to show up in our highest for partner and for ourself. Nadine is a teacher of the feminine tantric arts, feminine embodiment coach & nutritionist, and founder of Tantric Alchemy. We dive in to her work in the tantra space we also talk about the importance of further understanding our sexual energies, not just in the bedroom, but in our life in general.

Do you think that men are really ever going to be enough for women?

I realize right off the bat that this question might be an immediate trigger for some, but I hope you'll hear me out. There are many different views and understandings on who, or what energies, embody the masculine or the feminine. But there is a natural dynamic between the two, and even though sometimes this dynamic can bring up challenges, it can also be a beautiful opportunity for growth.

In this week's podcast I discuss WHY men not only will never be enough for women, but why that is a good and natural dynamic for relationships to continue to thrive. Love is not about comfort, it's about growth and seeing the opportunities in yourself and your partner to continue expanding.

Are you willing to let your partner be the best version of themselves? Let's tackle this topic together on this week's episode of The Deep Dive.

"You asked, how can I know you love me?

How can I trust in us?

I said don't you worry my dear,

I will give you the heavens above,

I wanted to give you the moon,

But you said it was not bright enough,

So I tried to give you the sun,

But you said it was too hot to touch."

This growth journey can sometimes be an intricate dance between emotion and heart, head and reason. It may not make it easy, but it sure does make it exciting. Relationships take a lot of self awareness. Whether you define your own experiences as successful or not, it's hard to deny that they all come packed full of opportunities for growth.

This week I'm sharing another poem. Rather than freestyle this time, I have decided to share a poem that was written and premeditated. One that I think sheds further light on the emotional experience of the relationship, love, and loss, that I have been both challenged and blessed by in the last year.

I believe the title exemplifies the complex nature and the simplicity of love and partnership. I call it "Us".

I have an exercise that can help you shift your negative thoughts into positive ones.

Let me start by saying, it's not your fault. We experience so much in this life time that it's hard to not be influenced by the thoughts in our mind that may fall into the negative category. This is because our negative experiences, reflections, or assumptions, can potentially carry a heavier emotional charge than we might be consciously aware of. We have learned to survive from fear and being overly aware of our physical, emotional, and spiritual surroundings so that we can ensure that we have a pleasant and "safe" life experience.

But are these thoughts natural? Or is there a way that we can shift our negative thoughts and see them in a different light, one that might actually be beneficial?

In this weeks episode I decided to actually let you in on an exercise that I've used, not only with my clients but with myself, on how to take negative experiences or thoughts and change them into positive learning experiences that will allow you to change the lens your looking through. I'm a huge stand for practicing self love and authenticity, and changing the way you experience negativity is a great way to start to shift the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. This is an exercise in becoming more magnetic to the experiences you wish to have in your life.

Grab a pen and pad, and enjoy the episode.

Do you believe in the "honeymoon phase"?

It's likely that most of us have experienced it on some level; that period at the beginning of a relationship where you feel drunk in love, passionate, and committed to being your best self for your new partner. For some it fades and the intimacy of a relationship begins to involve more compassion, self work, and communication, for some it seems the honeymoon never ends. But, have you ever thought about what is actually happening in the physical body, in the brain and the heart, that causes those feelings? Is there maybe a way to reprogram our own tendencies to allow for more passion and joy as relationships grow?

On this weeks episode of The Deep Dive I'm joined by my good friend Dr. Cat Meyer for a conversation that ended up being about the science of relationship and connection. Dr. Cat is a licensed sex therapist studied in EMDR, energy psychology, yoga, and modern sciences as well as the host of the Eat. Play. Sex. Podcast. She works to bring awareness to the many different aspects of healing, not just the mental or physical and how communication can be a game changer in how and why relationships might succeed or fail.

Do you want to experience more passion, fun, play, and overall freedom to be you in your relationship?

My conversations with Dr. Cat are always insightful and bring up new perspectives that I believe can really benefit the way we see ourselves and our partner in relationship. Whether you are new to it, new in it, or have been with your partner for a while I highly recommend diving in this week with Dr. Cat Meyer and I on this weeks vulnerable and highly informative episode.

What does it take to really live the life of your dreams?

Everyone has their own definition of the "dream life". For some it's a comfortable life with a couple kids and a loving partner, for some it's a location based dream like living by a beach somewhere warm, for some it's a high paced stimulating life of flash, fame, or fortune. No matter what the dream is, it takes clear intention and often the right amount of effort and energy to accomplish. Whether you're a stay at home mom or an entrepreneur seeking high stakes and high returns, it's common for us to neglect the self care that is often necessary to stay present and manage the stress or different situations that may come up in the process.

On this weeks episode of The Deep Dive I'm joined by my good friend Jenna Phillips Ballard who has taken on an inspiring journey in her life, and is nothing short of a super hero. A former personal trainer for celebrities, Jenna is a proud mother, loving wife, CEO, and entrepreneur, and somehow juggles all of this while putting in the work to create balance as well as the self care she needs to stay in her highest. We talk about her experience juggling motherhood, marriage, and business, her tips for self care when going for a dream, and even the effect that your in-laws might have on your experience of being in partnership or being a parent.

Are you interested in unleveling your practices around self care and experiencing more abundance while accomplishing your goals? I highly recommend listening in on my conversation this week with Jenna Phillips Ballard and getting to know more of her inspiring story, and her next level perspective that has helped me personally to move through difficult times and stay focused on my own path.
