The Idea of Love

Air Date: Wednesday, 19 May 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

LOVE is not conditional. It’s present in each and every heart-touched crevasse, human interaction, and unpredictable moment of life.

But for most of us we see love through the lens of whether something feels loving or NOT. Because we connect with the events of life as if they either are or are not loving, and then react from that conclusion, it causes us to have a qualified and limited understanding of the deeper workings, at play.

This week, Sam will explore the idea that all of that which exists is LOVE. And by recognizing this intrinsic quality in all circumstances, it allows us to lean in and cause more consciousness, connection and relationship with all of life, all people we share the planet with, and the possibility for evolving together.

You’ll have an opportunity to see how defensiveness and self-protection are simply crusty wrappings used to avoid the making of contact with the possibility of love. Beyond that, we’ll sort out the difference between acting as if we are loving AND walking in life as LOVE which leads us to be more engaged and powerful, WARRIORS OF THE HEART.

This is a profound opportunity to take a closer look at you how you relate to LOVE, act upon LOVE, and see LOVE as something attached to behavior rather than BEING.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your ideas about ‘LOVE’, to further the conversation.

You won’t want to miss being an ‘ON AIR’ participant of Expedition Self. Sam will provide real insight, understanding and offer an opportunity to connect a new way of thinking to YOUR way of thinking.

Each week Sam discusses a different and highly accessible slice of building a stronger, deeper relationship with the inner Self so that YOU have the tools to become more and more whole.

Fabulous, FRIENDSHIP!

Air Date: Wednesday, 12 May 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

This week’s topic is, Fabulous, FRIENDSHIP!

In this unpredictable, uncontrollable life, friendship can make all the difference in how we experience the joys and difficulties of BEING.

A friend can share in the mundane and everyday moments – they can help us see ourselves more clearly, bring beneficial opportunities to our doorstep, and cause us to learn and experience new things we never would’ve chosen to do alone. In truth, in the realm of the many relationships we encounter, a friend is perhaps the most long-lasting and life enriching.

Have you ever wondered why someone is your friend or why they aren’t? Have you thought about your expectations and what you give of yourself to get them met? And how do you change and mature inside of a friendship when your needs and way of being are constantly evolving? Sam will help you think about these questions for yourself by going inside and connecting the way you befriend yourself with the way you befriend others.

In this week’s show, we’re going to discuss some of the essential elements of building a lasting, sustainable friendship. We’ll explore what causes friendship to go sideways, how you can become more skilled at BEING with a friend, and how to zero in on these ‘fateful connection’ in a more conscious, intentional way.

This is a sweet opportunity to take a closer look at your how you value, build, and flourish through friendship. Join us and learn how to nurture your friend relationships – more deeply.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on ‘FRIENDSHIP’, to further the conversation.

Cuddle Up with the ‘Stuff You Wish You Didn’t Feel’

Air Date: Wednesday, 5 May 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

This week’s topic is, Cuddle Up with the ‘Stuff You Wish You Didn’t Feel’

Jealousy, resentment, contempt, disapproval … what in the heck do we do with all these undesirable feelings and thoughts when we’re trying to be a warmhearted and open person?

When we shy away from the traits and qualities that seem unloving or in some way unacceptable or selfish, it’s the same as telling ourselves, “We’re not lovable”.

Most of us know that if we are to truly embrace what it means to ‘be human’ then we must celebrate the WHOLE of who we are – loving the Self is at the hub of loving ALL of the diverse slices of life.

Beyond that, when we can’t BE with these unwanted parts of the Self, we’re limiting access to our natural born talents, our unique expression in the world and ultimately, our sense of peace and personal fulfillment.

This week we’re going to blow this idea of unbearable inner feelings and experiences wide open by pinpointing how they came to be placed on the ‘blacklist’ of the Self to begin with. Sam will help you peel the layers back, one by one, in the hopes that you’ll uncover a previously unseen connection with one of these insufferable aspects of the Self.

This is a sweet opportunity to take a closer look at your how you learn to value YOU and stop depriving yourself of the abundance that can come from empowering more of these unwelcome feelings.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on the ‘STUFF you WISH you DIDN’T FEEL’, to further the conversation.

Building a Relationship with Your Inner Child

Air Date: Wednesday, 28 April 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

This week’s topic is, Building a Relationship with your Inner Child

No matter how old we are, we carry our inner child ‘Selves’ with us through each day. Learning how to create a safe and supportive container for our ‘inner child relationship’ can enhance and enrich all of our connections with people we care about, in the here and now.

So much of who we become begins with a child’s innocent, open-hearted and receptive nature. If we are to evolve, transform and heal, then it’s important to understand how to make contact with the inner child who lives inside all of us.

Sam will explore the extraordinary value of building a solid and trusting relationship with the many ‘ages’ that have lived through your everyday moments since birth. Inner Child work finds its origin in the recognition, that all our needs weren’t met by the adults who parented us, by trauma left unprocessed, and because of the closed emotional nature of many family cultures. As an adult, you can now discover how to fill that role of being nurturing, accepting, and understanding for yourself.

By creating a space where we allow the subconscious to take the lead and invite the ‘child self’ into conversation, we’re able to access a level of understanding not otherwise possible. Sam will help you ponder the inner layers you’ve erected to manage the ‘growing up process’ as well as, more fully appreciate the way you’ve built-up coping strategies around feelings, vulnerability and needs impact our adult ways of relating.

Take an hour away from the grind of the day and immerse yourself in your INNER CHILD. It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on CHILDHOOD, to further the conversation. Go to samparrotto.com to submit your questions for this week’s conversation.

Delicious Dreams

Air Date: Wednesday, 21 April 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

Do you remember your dreams? Dreams are the tastiest treats of our human experience. And most of us just don’t relish enough in the scrumptiousness of this vast inner world.

This week’s Expedition Self show will help you learn how to capture the unseen intelligence of your dreams and also, how to utilize the dream-state to provide answers and direction in your life. Tap into the rich and magical realm of dreams to discover obscured self-information, to recognize where fears are at play behind the scenes, and to seed new thinking.

Sam will be talking about the tantalizing SYMBOLISM of dreams and how to employ this knowledge. Actively connecting with the sleep-dream realm is like getting access to a lush undefended valley – where your savory, unconscious IMAGINATION abundantly thrives and flourishes. And knowing how to interact between the ‘aware’ thoughts and the ‘unaware’ human experience gives you the ability to industriously ‘go inside’.

Imagine having contact with that kind of inner resource.

We’ll explore how nighttime dreams influence daytime dreaming. Plan to immerse yourself in fantasizing and mooning about all that you want in life. Tap into ways to rid it of the pesky fears and constraints that often attach to you as you try to envision the future. Allow yourself to explore the range of ways your dreams try to reach and communicate with you.

Open a seamless pathway between the dreams of night and those you plan and organize in the light of day. Sam will lead you on a journey through both – captivating you with the possibility of tapping into the dream realm with a delicious new energy.

Take an hour away from the grind of the day and immerse yourself into the Realm of Dreams. It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on DREAMS, to further the conversation.

Authenticity and Self-Deception

Air Date: Wednesday, 14 April 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

What does it really take to BE AUTHENTIC and why would you want to be? How do you react when you feel others aren’t authentic with you? What’s the difference between lying and self-deception and why do we wear masks of myth-making?

This week on Expedition Self, you’ll have the opportunity to look into the many ways we both exhibit and interfere with AUTHENTICITY. During this thought-packed hour, spend time skimming around the edges of the ever-changing nature of ‘your truth’ and appreciate how difficult a task it is to find words that sincerely reflect your inner feeling.

As the concept of vulnerability became more popular over the last decade, it gave rise to a healthy exploration of the essence of AUTHENTICITY. Spend time pondering the principle of being honest, how our human nature compels us ot project an idealized image of how we’d like to be seen, and why a commitment to being truly genuine can help you progress to a new level of personal evolution.

You’ll also be invited to consider the ways you protect yourself when actually thinking you’re open and sharing all that thrives inside of you. Self-protection, and our lack of acknowledgement of its existence, is like a tricky stage manager. Oftentimes, it slides just enough to the side of what’s real, to keep ourselves safe while convincing us we’re boldly sharing who we are.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on, ‘Authenticity & Self Deception’ to further the conversation.

Being the Source of Evolved Communication

Air Date: Wednesday, 7 April 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

This week’s topic is all about ‘Being the Source of Evolved Communication’

Communication is everywhere. Words are flying and landing, being repurposed and reimagined. But what are the elements that cause verbal expression to be more robust, deeply moving, and ‘heartfully’ meaningful? How can you become someone who causes this extraordinary sharing of words?

We’ll be unearthing ways for you to become more conscious of the Self information you need to share on this week’s Expedition Self.

Your inner world is chocked full of hearty tidbits just waiting to be freed up. But the quality of these tidbits has everything to do with how you embody your motives, your unconscious needs, and your willingness to share vulnerable information.

Sam will dive into the vital components of Self-evolving communication and describe avenues for you to become a powerful wellspring of sharing, a heart-driven architect of enriched community, a carrier of brilliance and creativity, and the relationship builder that you’ve been designed to be.

Communication is often used as a tool to influence or control the outcome of another’s actions. But rather than using it as unknowing trickery to get what we want; it can play a much more beneficial role by using it to nurture and create loving exchanges and associations.

Sam will help you better understand what’s motivating the different aspects of the Self. You’ll be able to uncouple from your hidden attachments and instead bring authentic words that actually enlighten and acknowledge the often unspoken humanness that’s at play in your conversations.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on, ‘Evolved Communication’ to further the conversation.

The Colossal Nature of FEAR

Air Date: Wednesday, 31 March 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

Fear is as central to BEING as breathing, and yet we experience it as overpowering and oppressive. The physical sensation of fear is so uncomfortable, it’s no wonder we’ll do anything possible to avoid feeling it. Because this FEAR infiltrates every aspect of life, we tend to work much harder than necessary in an attempt to offset its effect on our inner BEING and daily actions.

Sam will walk through the ways FEAR can be transformed from something we FIGHT, AVOID, and LOATHE into a new level of DEPTH, WISDOM, and FREEDOM.

As with all things GROWTH, our desire is to shed a different light on how you think about and connect with your inner Self.

‘Feel the fear and do it anyway, don’t let fear stop you from getting what you want, and if you let fear win, then you lose,’ are common declarations designed to help us avoid being dominated by FEAR. Because our FEAR is often related to as so limiting, meddlesome, and something to eradicate, we can miss the unseen opportunity to engage more powerfully and collaboratively with it.

Beyond working with the FEAR you know about, your conscious mind tries to cope and manage unconsicous FEAR by using a myriad of tricks to keep you from realizing it’s actually AT PLAY. We’ll expose the profound nature of FEAR and then discern ways to put it to work in helping you evolve and grow.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on the, ‘Colossal Nature of FEAR’ to further the conversation.

Get Closer & Deepen Intimacy

Air Date: Wednesday, 24 March 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

Next Week’s Topic is ‘Get Closer & Deepen Intimacy’ in Your MOST Important Relationships!

Your best, valuable and most important relationships are EVERYTHING because you’ve chosen these special ‘BEINGS’ to contribute to your day-to-day experience of living.

Lifelong personal fulfillment is so closely tied to how we get along with those we see as essential and yet, there’s no patent formula for making it turn out the way we’d want it to.

Getting in sync with another person is like creating your greatest work of art. And most of us will acknowledge that the crafting of awesome relationships takes a ton of work.

This week, Sam’s show will help you to acquire insightful and super-effective keystones to assure you’ll be getting tighter with that VIP, recognizing their overlooked charms, and cleaning up your heart spaces with your most treasured people – for year-after-year fascination.

It’s not enough to love someone, or to just BE who we are and allow them to do the same. There’s a weaving, a stitching that while engaged in it, can actually build intimacy between you and take the relationship into renewed, delightful communion.

Understanding, learning, revealing new information, working through old disagreements, and identifying potential resentments – these elements represent the basic scaffolding of any relationship. And they’re completely in your realm of influence.

While they offer exceptional opportunities to bring yourself more fully forward, they’re often neglected and bypassed, especially when the relationship is no longer new and exciting.

No matter whether you’re wanting to improve your relationship with your child, your sibling, your significant other, your spouse, or your best friend, this conversation will help you to distinguish the ‘building blocks of intimacy’.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your ‘Relationship Challenges and Learnings’ to further the conversation.

Send in your questions and comments prior to hello@expeditionself.com. You won’t want to miss being an ‘ON AIR’ participant of Expedition Self. Sam will provide real insight, understanding and offer an opportunity to connect a new way of thinking to YOUR way of thinking.

5 Essential Needs of Being

Air Date: Wednesday, 17 March 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

Somewhere along the way it became apparent to Sam that most people feel like they have to DO something to have VALUE – that they have to earn or justify it to be worthy. This week’s show is based on the affirmation, “I Have Value Simply Because I Breathe,” and the 5 Essential Needs that drive every person’s experience.

These ‘Needs’, influence your desires, dictate where you spend your time, and shape the way you get what you want in life – and yet, they work largely behind the scenes. By getting clearer about these ‘5 Essential Needs’, you’ll find yourself pondering simpler and more direct ways to BE and RELATE with others. You’ll understand better how to free up behind-the-scenes strategizing that drains your energy and interferes with the flow of beneficial things coming towards you.

By taking the case that, “I have value simply because I breathe,” you remove the constraints and weight often associated with trying, driving, and pushing to get what you want. You can detach the actions and creating of life from the filling and meeting of your hidden needs because while you become conscious of how they’re running everything, you can now choose a hundred different pathways that weren’t possible before.

Imagine having a direct connection with the source of what compels you. And think about what life would be like if you didn’t feel this constant push to get somewhere, while not really understanding where the urgency comes from. What would you do with all of this freed up energy? How would your life look different?

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and share your ‘Emotion Zone’ to further the conversation.

You can either call in and chat LIVE or send in your questions prior to hello@expeditionself.com. You won’t want to miss being an ‘ON AIR’ participant of Expedition Self. Sam will provide real insight, understanding and offer an opportunity to connect a new way of thinking to YOUR way of thinking.
