In this special episode Camille and Adam D. turn the spotlight onto co-host Adam Guzman-Poole—a holistic relationship counselor, coach, writer, teacher, and author of the Amazon best-selling book “Lessons in Love.”

This conversation explores how the sacred can infuse every part of our lives—from intimate relationships and parenting to community leadership and professional work. Adam shares his journey from a deeply spiritual upbringing in the Philippines, through culture shock and “wild years” as a teenager in Canada, to profound encounters with indigenous wisdom keepers and medicine lineages in the Amazon.

Along the way, he describes how his work bridges psychology, spiritual wisdom, and lived human experience, and why he is devoted to helping people live lives rooted in meaning, love, and authenticity.

• Adam’s early life between London, Ontario, and the Philippines, and his mother’s intention to raise her children within a values-based spiritual community
• Growing up in a small Christian school that actually lived the principles of love, kindness, and care—and witnessing faith, healing, and the power of the divine firsthand
• The tension between organized religion and colonial harm, and how Adam holds both a reverence for the sacred and a clear-eyed view of history
• Meeting an indigenous medicine woman / shaman at age 16 who took Adam and his family under her wing, opening doors to a broader metaphysical and spiritual reality
• Navigating a challenging adolescence, dropping out of school, and being “forced to grow up fast” while staying connected to something bigger
• Discovering quantum physics, Vipassana meditation, and completing multiple 10-day silent retreats in his late teens
• Following an intuitive call that led him to the Amazon jungle to apprentice with a traditional medicine lineage, spending several years immersed in that world
• How he balanced life between the Amazon and Canada, including running a jewelry business to fund his travels and apprenticeship
• The core intention behind his work today: bringing the sacred into everything—counseling, coaching, writing, teaching, marriage, fatherhood, and community
