    What is it like to be blacklisted? With the amount of opinions, beliefs, and clashing ideals in our culture right now it can be pretty hard to know what to believe and what sources of information are reliable. It's never been more important to know where we are getting our facts, and to be vigilant on ensuring that we are pursuing truth. But what happens when your pursuit of truth actually gets you flagged, blocked, and even blacklisted? In this episode Adam is joined by author, coach, thought leader, and podcast host Matt Belair, as they dive deep into the experience and pursuit of truth that ultimately had his podcast flagged as well as blocked from most social media platforms. The conversation varies as they move through different topics, but connects with the common theme of the state of our culture in 2020 and what effect the misuse of media and information is having. What defines a conspiracy theory these days? And what are the tangible take aways from what someone like Matt Belair has gone through that allows him to come back to a place of compassion?

  • Freestyle Spoken Word Poetry: Hey Spirit, Are You There?
    "I hope you are there I hope that you care All the books tell me you do But sometimes I feel like that's not true I feel like I'm alone I feel like I'm picking up that cosmic phone And no one is there" In this episode of the Deep Dive podcast, for the first time ever, I share a piece of freestyle spoken word poetry. When recording, I dropped into a creative space and allowed the words to free flow out. What emerged was a poetic spiritual prayer. I would love to know your thoughts on this spoken word poetry.

  • 2 Common Relationship Myths Debunked

    If you experience conflict with your partner, it means something is wrong, right? But did you know for every five positive interactions, you need to have one negative interaction? This has been shown to be a minimum requirement for a successful, happy relationship.

    And when you have conflict, do you believe you need to fix the problem? But did you know 69% of problems don't actually get resolved? In long-term relationships, these problems go unsolved because they are based on the differences in who they are as a person.

    Believing there shouldn't be any conflict in your relationship, and if there is conflict you need to solve it, are two of the most common relationship myths. And in this Deep Dive Musing, I debunk them both, as well as provide you with a clear understanding as to why they are myths and how to actually navigate through the two to ensure your relationship thrives.

  • The 5D Journey of Artistic Transformation
    I believe art is a technology. And when we create art, it becomes a catalyst for our own evolution and growth. The process of creating forces us to face off with so much of ourselves, from our fears, our doubts, and our limitations. But this face-off presents us with two choices: Do we work through what we're facing or do we allow it to stop us? In this Deep Dive Musing, I've broken down the artistic process into the five D's you must venture through in order to not only emerge with art but also emerge as a higher more expanded version of who we're here to be. Ultimately, I describe how sticking to the process can become a personal development time capsule and how this process has gown through me when creating my latest single, Chase Me. Before tuning in, I highly recommend checking out my song, Chase Me, first to give you more context as to what I'm discussing in this Deep Dive musing. Tune in now, here.

  • Determining Your Attachment Style and How to Shift It
    There is this idea that attachment is bad and we should let all our attachment go. But in reality, attachment is extremely important. We are designed to get attached to things for our own survival. And by learning our attachment style, we also learn so much about ourselves, how we operate and what our needs are. So what's your attachment style? In this Musing of The Deep Dive with me, Adam Roa, I unravel attachment, specifically attachment theory. It's a very complex theory, although I bring you a simplified version to ensure you build a basic understanding of your own style of attachment. Plus, I explain ways you can spot attachment styles in others, as well as how you can actively shift your own attachment style (yes, you can change it!). This episode is inspired by my single, GO, because after writing it, I realize much of my attachment was woven within it. Baby will you come back home, I'm dying. Every time you call my name, I'm there. Baby will you come back home, I'm trying. But, you go. Be sure to check out GO here. What you'll learn:
    • The four different attachment styles
    • How to determine your personal attachment style
    • Why attachment isn't bad
    • How to actively shift your attachment style
    • How to use your attachment to get your needs met
    Learn your attachment style: Check out this free attachment style quiz here. Learn more about attachment styles: I highly recommend checking out the book, Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find - and Keep - Love. Download my latest single, Chase Me, here.

  • Is Your Attachment Taking Up Your Energetic Bandwidth?
    Let's chat about attachment and the effect it has on our energetic bandwidth. There is a level of romanticism around being so in love with someone that you will hold on through thick or thin, no matter what. It's a beautiful Hollywood narrative, however it creates unrealistic expectations for what we are supposed to do when we are in love with someone. To be honest with you, I used to think holding on no matter what was the healthy thing to do in a relationship. Now, I've learned that holding on to something that once was, prevented me from receiving what I was trying to call into my life. My attachment was taking up my energetic bandwidth and there was no space left for what I actually wanted. In this Musing of The Deep Dive with me, Adam Roa, I explain why being attached to what was, instead of what is, takes up our energetic bandwidth and what we can actively do to ensure we are creating space for new people and opportunities to enter into our life. Because, if we have the desire for something new to enter, we must create the space for it. What you'll learn:
    • How your energetic bandwidth works
    • What is stealing your energy and taking up your energetic bandwidth?
    • The effect attachment has on what is/isn't entering into your life
    • Why you need to create space before you can have more
    • How to empty your energetic bandwidth and create more space
    • How you are preventing yourself from experiencing new opportunities
