Ep.14 - 40 Million Views In 48 Hours Nearly Killed Me: What Fame Really Costs with Adam Roa

What if your deepest pain was never meant to destroy you but to awaken your capacity to love life more deeply than ever before?

In this episode, transformational artist and poet Adam Roa joins Jason Van Blerk and Aisha Rodrigue, co-founders of Human Garage, for an exploration of trauma, creativity, and the path to self-love.
From childhood abuse to viral artistry, Adam reveals how the darkest moments of his life became the foundation of his healing and how expression can transmute suffering into purpose.
Together, they unpack how the body, mind, and spirit hold the echoes of trauma and how creativity, movement, and emotional honesty become portals to freedom.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:
• Why all depression is the result of suppression, and how to feel your way back to life
• How trauma becomes art when we stop hiding from our emotions
• The truth about masculine and feminine balance in creativity and healing
• Why feeling safe in your body is the foundation of transformation
• How the body’s intelligence, discipline, and surrender create emotional freedom
