Memorable Quotes

"Living is worth the cost. But make no mistake, being alive is not the same thing as living. 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. " – Adam Roa

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

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.

Most of us want the best for our children, but what if the very institutions we trust are actually steering our kids in the wrong direction? In this episode, Dr. Shefali, a renowned Conscious Parenting Expert and Bestselling Author gets real about how we can break away from the pressure of mainstream culture—competition, materialism, all of it—and help our kids stay connected to who they really are. She digs into how social media, AI, and these societal norms are messing with our mental health and our kids’ sense of self.

You'll hear about "the matrix" and how it pulls us apart, but more importantly, you'll get some practical ideas for how we can push back against it.

Whether you’re a parent or just someone wanting a little more clarity in this chaotic world, this conversation will leave you thinking differently. Dr. Shefali’s approach feels like a wake-up call, but in the best way—reminding us to be more intentional and connected with our kids and ourselves. You won’t want to miss it!

Memorable Quotes:

"I believe it is the consciousness of the parent that defines the evolution of the future. If what is going into the child's mind is a whole load of pollution and contamination, then you will get the racist, sexist, ageist, ethnocentric adult who will spill blood because they were taught that this is who it is they are." – Dr. Shefali

"I think it is extremely unconscious of parents to have their own attachment to a mythical, unproven existence of an external, never-seen being, and then force their children to believe in that mythical, never-before-seen." – Dr. Shefali
