Birthday Q&A: What I’m Unlearning About Spirituality and Who I’m Becoming
In this solo Q&A episode, I’m answering the questions so many of you have asked me over the past few days—about ego, identity, relationships, breakups, shadow work, discipline, grounding, and what the spiritual path actually looks like in real life.
I share honestly about the subtle ego patterns I still face, how I navigate heartbreak with grace, what it means to “perform” spirituality versus actually live it, and the practices that keep me connected when I fall off center. I also speak about dating, celibacy, intimacy, and how I think about love at this stage of my life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Free Will Is Limited
We’re shaped by biology, conditioning, and unconscious patterns—but there’s a moment of awareness where we can choose differently. Freedom isn’t absolute; it’s the space we create through presence and self-understanding.
Beyond Labels Is Presence
Underneath “Andre,” the roles, and the story, there’s simply awareness—being itself. The work is learning to live from that place rather than from identity, performance, or expectation.
Your Calling Feels Like Alignment
A calling isn’t loud or dramatic. It feels like clarity, resonance, and undeniable pull. It shows up as a quiet knowing that doesn’t leave, matched by a sense of responsibility to follow it.
