About this Podcast:

Adam:
Hey everyone, welcome back. I have to be honest—this is one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had, and I want to take you inside the experience as it unfolded. Because what started as a simple check-in turned into a deep confrontation with fear, love, and personal transformation.

A week ago, I found myself in a place I hadn’t been in years—rock bottom emotionally. I felt completely unmoored, like I was losing everything, and I had no idea how to break out of that mindset. That’s when David stepped in. Whether he was the “perfect guy” for this or not, I can’t say, but in that moment, he was the right person.

David:
And I’m honored to hold that space with you, Adam. I think we all hit those moments where we feel like we’re losing control, and often, that’s the signal—it’s time for the next evolution. Today, we’re going to dive into what that next version of Adam looks like.

Adam:
The thing is, this wasn’t a one-time feeling. I’ve realized that for years, I’ve carried a deep fear: the fear that everything I have—my family, my success, my security—will disappear in an instant. And that fear has driven me. It’s motivated me to build, to provide, to create systems that keep everything in place. But what I wasn’t seeing was how much it was costing me—time, connection, joy, and even self-love.

David:
And that’s where we started peeling back the layers. You mentioned something that really stood out: “I don’t think I can keep the belief and vision of success in my mind as much as I can keep the belief that I’ll lose everything.” That’s a heavy statement.

Adam:
Yeah. And I had to admit—I had no real evidence that this doom was coming. It was just… there. Always there. The way I was raised, the strict consequences, the fear of punishment—it created this deep-rooted belief that I’m only valuable when I’m providing, when I’m serving. And if I stop, I’m nothing.

David:
But here’s the real question: What if that belief isn’t true? What if you are inherently valuable, lovable, and worthy, regardless of what you do?

Adam:
That hit me hard. Because when you said, “What if everything you’re trying to prove has already been true all along?”—it stopped me in my tracks. And you know what? That’s where the real work started.

David:
We went deep into a practice called the Heart Coherence Technique—learning how to step out of your head and into your heart, not just intellectually, but emotionally. And that’s when something really powerful happened.

Adam:
Yeah. I imagined my wife and kids looking at me, the way I look at them, with pure love. And then I flipped it. I tried to see myself through their eyes. That was… intense. Because I suddenly realized—I am loved. And I don’t have to prove anything.

David:
That’s the shift. Instead of fear driving your actions, love can. And when you’re operating from love, the entire game changes.

Adam:
And that’s where I set my new commitments:

1. To practice this heart coherence technique every single day.

2. To ask for help—twice a day, every day. That one scares me, but I know it’s necessary.

David:
Because asking for help is also an act of connection, trust, and growth. And I can’t wait to check in and see how this journey unfolds for you.

Adam:
Neither can I. And for everyone listening—if you’ve ever felt like you’re trapped in a cycle of fear, if you’re afraid to ask for help, or if you feel like your worth is tied to what you do, I hope this conversation helps you as much as it helped me.
