The Deep Dive with Adam Roa – Details, episodes & analysis

This is a hard one to post. For ten years, I had something I could only call God. I found it outside the church, in places that surprised me, through experiences that changed me. For the last year and a half, I've been searching for it again. I made this video because I didn't want to keep pretending I have it figured out.

If you're somewhere in the in-between too, maybe this is for you.

The Soul Scavenger Hunt is a free experience I made to help you find what's real in yourself: https://create.adamroa.com/soul-scavenger-hunt

My debut book Crazy Love comes out soon:

In this episode I share a framework I've used for years to establish safe containers for intimacy. It sounds unsexy, but it has led to some of the most pleasurable experiences of my life.

If you want to go deeper into what you actually desire before your next conversation like this, this is where I'd start:

The Deep Dive has been quiet for five years. This is me coming back.

There's a version of me that learned to optimize. To script. To hook. To perform for an algorithm instead of speaking to a human being. This is me coming back from that.

In this episode I'm talking honestly about why I went quiet, and what I've been sitting with since. No agenda. No script. Just what's real.

If something in this conversation stirred something in you, I made something that might help you go deeper with it. It's called the Soul Scavenger Hunt, a free guided experience to help you find direction, reconnect with yourself, and take one honest step forward.

It's good to be back.

Do you believe in absolute truth?

On the surface this topic is already a pretty complicated one. But if you start to peel away the layers around this question, I promise you, it starts to go much deeper. It depends on who you talk to, it depends on their experiences, beliefs, religions, and on and on. So what is truth?

I've started something new on The Deep Dive, something I'm excited about. I want to ask my guests questions that are somewhat unanswerable and dive into a conversation that exposes not only the unique perspective of the individual, but also the expansive nature of the answer. This week, I was so excited to interview Kevin Walton; transformational coach, speaker, and all around inspirational thinker and motivator. I recently had the opportunity to hear him speak at Sacred Sons, a weekend of mens work led by some of the front running explorers of the subject, and was drawn in by his take on truth and and what it means for our evolution and growth. So I decided to ask him the question on this week's episode; Does absolute truth even exist?

What do you think? Enjoy this week's episode and join in the conversation by heading over to The Deep Dive Instagram @thedeepdive.

We've all heard the saying; Money can't buy happiness. It's an age old debate centered around the value of material wealth verses peace and contentment. The idea that money not only can't buy you happiness, but in fact distracts from true happiness, is an interesting topic that I think deserves more discussion. It's been called the root of all evil, but is that really the truth?

This week I dive deep into another discussion around a question that probably doesn't have an answer, with a respected entrepreneur and new close friend of mine Gerard Adams. I found a lot in common with Gerard, not only from a place of being financially successful in our lives but also from a similar experience of our journey to find self value and true self love.

There's been an element of experiencing financial freedom that has allowed the two of us to feel creatively free as well, and this week I thought that  it deserved a discussion about where we draw our value and how we use the wealth that we accumulate in our lives, whether that is financial or otherwise.

Where do you find your wealth?

I invite you to join the discussion with myself and Gerard Adams on this week's episode of the Deep Dive. Also, to join Gerard and I in a four month immersive experience in how to infuse your business or project with some high level conscious entrepreneurial spirit shoot me a DM on instagram saying "I'm Ready" or head to https://argaimmersion.typeform.com/to/gT92RPHE to apply today.

Are you still holding on to something that doesn't serve you?

I talk about relationships a lot on this podcast. Lately you may have noticed that the subject has been around breakups and healing, moving on. No surprise there, I'm pretty committed to shooting from the hip on this podcast and being vulnerable and transparent about the things going on in my own life. My hope is that parts of my experience might offer some support to what you might be going through in your own life.

This week, I want to share some tips with you on how to move through times of change and transition faster and with more ease and grace. It maybe surprise you how simple this one is at first, but how difficult it can be to really apply to your life and implement in your experience. Try it out, join the conversation, and if you got something from this episode I'll invite you to share this with someone who might need to hear it too.

Are you finding it hard to trust and surrender?

It's discussed in different spiritual practices and pretty much any religion; how to surrender and have faith in a higher intention for our life. Some of us call it a Gods path or will, some call it destiny, and the debate of whether we are part of some divine plan or it's all a random experience of our souls independence is on that is age old.

So this week I decided to take the podcast in a bit of a different direction. For my interview with international speaker, transformational coach, and author of the new book "The Magic of Surrender" Kute Blackson, I wanted to move away from the usual interview format and ask a question that doesn't even really have an answer; Can you fully surrender while still holding on to your desires and the things you want to manifest in your life?

While it may bring up a ton of opinion, I believe this one is hard to answer. Kute and I definitely try to make sense of it in an in depth conversation that I would love to invite you to be a part of. It's question that takes us to the core of many beliefs and core values that have a huge effect on the way we live our life and what we're able to call in, definitely a deep question.

But after all; this is called The Deep Dive.

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.
