Adam sits down with Diamandia Lingos, a creative executive turned transformational entrepreneur whose journey from trauma to purpose is both raw and inspiring. With a background that spans from launching global brands at UFC to studying at Yale and speaking on the TEDx stage, Diamandia brings hard-earned wisdom and unfiltered honesty to the mic.

In this episode, she shares how grief, burnout, and chronic health issues forced her to slow down—and how stillness became her superpower. After losing her brother to addiction and her fiancé to suicide, Diamandia hit rock bottom. But it was in that breakdown that she found breakthrough, launching her wellness brand DIAMANDIA™, rooted in healing the body from the inside out.

This is a conversation about real healing, shedding shame, and learning to define success on your own terms. If you’re chasing clarity, battling burnout, or rebuilding after loss—this one’s for you.


🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Shame only has power when we keep hiding.

  • Real healing begins with stillness and self-trust.

  • You don’t need more accolades—you need self-acceptance.

  • Trauma doesn’t define you; it can become the catalyst for purpose.

  • Meditation isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating space.

  • Personal alignment always precedes external success.
