Today, Michael speaks with Adam Roa. Adam is a poet, artist, and transformational voice known for articulating emotional truths people feel but often struggle to express. His spoken word poem, You Are Who You've Been Looking For, has reached over 250 million people, becoming the most viewed live poetry performance in history. Through his work, Adam helps individuals access authentic confidence, deepen self-awareness, and reconnect with their own inner truth through vulnerability, creativity, and self-reclamation. His highly-anticipated first book of poetry, _CrazyLove_ , comes out in May. Get on the pre-order waitlist here: https://www.adamroa.com/crazylove.

Conversation Highlights Include:

-How heartbreak became a turning point, creating space for deeper awareness and emotional healing.

-The realization that art is not just expression, but a powerful tool for transformation and inner connection.

-What happened internally when success arrived, and how external validation did not resolve deeper feelings of disconnection.

-A more honest look at self-love as an evolving relationship, not a destination you arrive at once and for all.

-Why growth often feels like a spiral, where challenges resurface not as failure, but as opportunities for deeper integration.

-What it means to let go of rigid structure and begin trusting your own inner guidance moment by moment.

-Insights from the darkness retreat and what emerges when all external distractions are removed.

-How cultural conditioning and survival patterns shape emotional expression, and how awareness begins to loosen their grip.

-The tension between authenticity and performance, and what it takes to tell the truth even when it feels uncomfortable.

Next, Michael closes with a guided meditation that invites you into stillness, presence, and deeper self-awareness.
