This week on Expedition Self, we will talk about what it takes to ‘Avoid Setting Yourself Up’ when taking on new habits, activities, and goals.
It’s that time of year when people get all focused and motivated to start anew and make change through resolutions or new commitments. And it’s also the time when the psyche gets ‘set up and banged up’ by the very person who set the whole thing in motion and wants to elevate themselves into the next state of personal satisfaction and fulfillment. YOU!
This week on Expedition Self, we’re going to talk about how to navigate the ‘push and pull’ of forward movement.
Human beings are always looking for a restart to improve their economic status, their health, their overall well being, and their sense of possibility and expectation of the future.
Unfortunately, the way most handle this is to become dominant and demanding with themselves which then activates unknown resistance and resentment within the Self. Oftentimes, the heart is sadly seen as a deterrent from making ‘IT’ happen and it’s managed in a way that constrains and suffocates its’ natural flow.
Truth is that most people abandon their resolutions within the first 3 months of the year. Rather than seeing this new beginning as a way of extending a wider net for and throughout the Self, it’s seen as a reason to get overly firm, disciplined and demanding as if we were doing something wrong as the premise for needing the change to begin with.
Sam will discuss the process of wanting change and how to actually create change to make it more clear how you can get the ‘lift’ you’re wanting in the coming days ‘without selling your heart out’.
You will better understand why it’s no surprise that the efforts to create something new melt away too quickly, and the deeper desires that motivated those efforts go unmet.
You won’t want to miss this hour if you are willing to take your life to the next level, while ensuring you hold space for your WHOLE SELF. Grab your journal, come with your hopes for the year, and prepare to ‘self-love’ your way into the very outcomes you want most.
Take advantage of this opportunity to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE about ‘Avoid Setting Yourself Up’ to further your own personal growth.
Ask questions. Share experiences. This could be the hour that moves you one step further on your growth and development journey.

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 aspect of life helping you to build a stronger, deeper relationship with the inner Self so you can become more and more WHOLE.

Flickering Facets of Truth
Air Date - 21 May 2024
This week on Expedition Self Online TV, streaming Consciousness LIVE, we’ll be discussing the Flickering Facets of Truth. While truth is a desirable pursuit, it is also misunderstood, which leads to misuse, keeping people stuck in ways of being that limit and constrain their lives rather than setting them free.
We are led to believe the truth is a set-in-stone, immovable destination that, once you arrive in it, will become a safe and protective home for us. All we have to do is fervently reinforce it forever! And who doesn’t want to be ‘right’?
On this show, Sam will break down that myth and show you how truth is more helpful in your pursuit of self-knowledge, and even being ‘right’, when it is seen as changeable rather than permanent – a journey rather than a destination.
We will dive deep into the common experience of ‘finding your voice’ and highlight how those worthwhile, gorgeous, hard-won personal truths can become a prison when used in the paradigm of ‘forever truth’ or instead can lead to unimaginable personal freedom and strength when used in the paradigm of ‘changeable truth’.
Not only does the ‘old way’ of looking at truth impact your inner self, but it also impacts how you are able to achieve in the world. When these proclaimed personal truths are given the exclusive status of being the right and good way to think or be, it leaves you with fewer tools to collaborate, build interrelationships, and create the things you want most.
Your entire psyche is constantly looking for a bridge between the world of possibility you crave and the daily experience of being in life. Growth work creates a bridge that surrounds, immerses, and intrigues your inner Self.
Sam will spend this hour helping you ‘Go Inside’ and provide provocative ways to think about your process of growth, transformation, and evolution so you can increase awareness of your ‘Whole Self’ and build depth and meaning in your relationships.

Purple Room Chat with Alex
Air Date - 14 May 2024
On Tuesday, May 14th, Expedition Self Online TV will feature the ‘Purple Room’ with Alex Parrotto. He’ll give his personal take and unique insights regarding the early beginnings of the Purple Room and the role it played in his life.
This show will help you understand what it actually IS and how you might utilize this format for growth and development conversation in your own life; with partners, children, and friends.
22 years ago, the Purple Room was born in the living room of Sam’s home, while her son, Alex, sat in a pint-sized purple chair sharing his feelings.
Arising from her desire to create a different future that had him feel comfortable validating his own complex experience, speaking his feelings with ease, and expressing his truth without fear or shame, the two of them embarked on a journey of a lifetime.
The Purple Room provided a place to share vulnerability, and ask the question, “What’s really going on for me,” inside of a space where they could appreciate, acknowledge, empathize with, and celebrate what it means to be human. And ultimately, create an extraordinary bond between mother and son.
Listening to Purple Room stories, you’ll gain insight into how to host Purple Room conversations of your own, whether they happen in your beige living room with a loved one or a corner booth with your longtime BFF. These conversations open the door for you to be the catalyst for ‘being’ and ‘bringing’ together in a new way.
Don’t miss this debut event as we introduce you to the origins of the Purple Room, and give you a chance to see how it all started through the eyes of a child raised inside of an intention to be conscious.

Extraordinary Ordinaries
Air Date - 23 April 2024
In this premiere episode of Expedition Self on OMTimesTV, join host Sam Parrotto as she 'livestreams consciousness' and explores how ordinary moments are the very essence of extraordinary lives.
Spend this time learning how to value the value-less moments. Notice the ignored nothings. Name the forgotten, Reframe the idea of progress. Challenge your concept of achievement.
How you perceive and relate to the living of your life matters. And too often, when you stand in the present and size up how you got here, details that breathe life into your days are often left behind and deemed as "unimportant." With so much feedback telling us that ONLY ‘epically, Instagram-worthy' moments deserve attention, we are left with thousands of lived-through times, mostly ignored and undervalued.
Expedition Self is taking this subject ON this week with a discussion about the ‘Extraordinary Ordinaries’ where you will revisit how expectations of your everyday moments were formed. The mundane life really IS where the monumental happens. You can expect to take a deep dive into how and why you discredit and dismiss the actual elements that make this moment, the NOW, exactly what it is: EXTRAORDINARY.
Your entire psyche is constantly looking for a bridge between the world of possibility you crave and the daily experience of being in life. Growthwork is most effective in helping you find that bridge when you are surrounded, immersed, and intrigued by it. Sam will spend this hour helping you ‘Go Inside’. She’ll provide provocative ways to think about your process of growth, transformation, and evolution so you can increase awareness of your ‘Whole Self' and build depth and meaning in your relationships.

Can Love Overcome?
Air Date - 07 February 2024
This week, on Expedition Self, we’re asking the question, “Can Love Overcome”? Within this vast world, we face each day, we wonder how we will survive it, how it will show up, and how it will go for us. And then ‘love’ appears in all its finery and lace, ready to lend itself to your cause. (Or perhaps it was there the whole time, and you didn’t realize it.)
The challenge with all forms of love is that they ‘come in all forms.’ And this means that for anyone trekking through the ultimate adventure, open to love and cultivating it, it’s a wild ride filled with unexpected, ‘throw-you-off-the-back-end-of-a-bronco’ kind of experiences.
Sam will share some of her favorite ‘LOVE’ quotes and explore how love overcomes the hard days, the tragic moments, the heartbreaks, the ups and downs, and the hopes. Beyond this, she’ll delve into the many ways you may block the efforts of love at work in your life by being afraid, withholding, mislabeling, and resenting it.
Whether you think love is the most important aspect of a life well-lived or who is wary of its power and influence, you’ll enjoy the conversation by offering a bridge to your next discovery.
Take advantage of this opportunity to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE about the ‘Can Love Overcome?’ to further your own personal growth.
Ask questions. Share experiences. This could be the hour that moves you one step further on your growth and development journey.

Inspiration in Spite of Futility
Air Date - 30 January 2024
This week’s show will help listeners to build ‘Inspiration in Spite of Futility’ by recognizing its presence in the psyche and their necessary influence on each other.
Each and every morning, you wake up for the day, looking towards the activities with some expectation about what will come. Will you enjoy it? Is it something you dread? And in this greeting you offer, over and over, there lies the question, where are you in it, and how do you show up?
This week on Expedition Self, we will talk about the NOW events and how they bring you to a place of hopelessness, frustration, and apathy. You’ll have an opportunity to ponder how you can find inspiration and why it’s necessary if you are to create and transform your life.
There’s another reason it’s important to contemplate the range of beings that live between ‘Inspiration & Futility,’ and it has to do with what we bring to our community. Sam will help crystallize your various aspects at play in life so you can bring your wants fully into reach.
Take advantage of this opportunity to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE about the ‘Inspiration in Spite of Futility’ to further your own personal growth.
Ask questions. Share experiences. This could be the hour that moves you one step further on your growth and development journey.
