Expedition Self

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.

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.

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.

You won’t want to miss being an ‘ON AIR’ participant of Expedition Self. Sam will provide real insight and 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.

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.

This week on Expedition Self, we will explore how to acknowledge and then relate to the ‘Perfectly Imperfect Life’.
It’s not so easy for people, human beings, to step away from assessing and cataloging what they think is good and bad. In fact, the brain is hardwired to constantly explain the causes and effects of ‘being’ as a way of dealing with the overwhelming, often unmanageable nature of life.
How can you open up to seeing your relationships, events, and outcomes in a different light – more beneficial to your growth process?
That’s where this idea of everything being ‘perfectly imperfect’ comes in. This week on Expedition Self, we’ll be applying this expansive way of thinking to career, health, parenting, and your own childhood.
This is a topic that reaches far and wide. It challenges you to accept the reality that you are not in control, nor can you use your personal filter to dictate what is and isn’t acceptable.
Sam will creatively walk you through typical scenarios and then delve into the beliefs and feelings that reinforce the wanting, needing, and driving towards your ‘brain-constructed’ standards for a well-lived life.
Take advantage of this opportunity to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE about the ‘Perfectly Imperfect Life’ 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.

Air Date - 16 January 2024
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.

This week on Expedition Self, we’re hosting another GCT (‘Growthwork, Consciousness, & Transformation) Chat with Nick Kellet’.
As part of our continuing commitment to demonstrate and explore the most effective ways to ‘go inside the Self’ – we dialogue with interesting and self-creating individuals invested in their own Growthwork, We speak about the choices they’ve made throughout their life to seek transformation, healing, and self-development.
This week we’ll speak with Nick. As a teaser, he’s going to talk about his journey to discover, understand, and cultivate the idea of relationship. Nick is a creator, an inventor, a tech leader, and a devoted student of creativity. He travels and works around the world, meets people in the most diverse backgrounds, attends very cool personal transformation experiences and is always ready to engage about the possibilities of living your best life.
One of the best ways to integrate consciousness in our daily practice is to see it through the eyes of another. Through someone’s unique perspective and outlook, you are able to consider the ideas from a different point of view. And this helps to make them more real and workable in your own life.
When did you realize you wanted to dive deeper? What life events took the most toll on your sense of Self and shaped the trajectory of your future? What activities and practices do you find most helpful in breaking out of the rinse-repeat aspects of the every day?
You’ll have an opportunity to hear Nick’s take on these questions and more. Think of this time as two people, talking deeply and intimately about how they cultivate and nurture what it means to be human in the hopes you will make more viscerous contact with your own humanness.
In this engaging hour, you’ll get an invaluable opportunity to listen to a fellow seeker share what it’s like for them to go inside. Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE during our ‘Growth, Consciousness, & Transformation Chat with Nick Kellet’. Ask questions. Share experiences. This could be the hour that moves you one step further on your growth and development journey.

Air Date - 28 November 2023
This week on Expedition Self, we will explore ‘The Feeling of HOME’.
Home is not only a real thing but so much more because some might say it is everything. It is the safe place, the foundation, the retreat from the ‘too much’ of life. It provides us with a sense of belonging to a place, and the people, and it replenishes our energy. (At least it’s what we hope for and imagine it should be.)
What makes anything a home? Is it the feeling, the concreteness and geography of it, and why do we unknowingly search for more of it throughout our entire lives?
Beyond that, if the heart has everything to say about where it is, then how do you create it in your external world? And, how does the psyche register pieces of home when it isn’t there?
Home is an element of life that can be seen and talked about from many angles. People, places, experiences, feelings, and the senses are all essential for creating this deep and penetrating sense of connection. During the show this week, Sam will illuminate how we identify and empower our needs through this concept of ‘home’.
We will explore how ‘home’ offers a way to: know that we are connected, embrace that we are familiar and included, walk with a sense of oneness and in community with others, and rest in knowing we are safe and comfortable within.
We’ll also spend some time looking at how a home can constrain us from the adventure that awaits beyond the front door.
Don’t miss the hot chocolate and warm cinnamon bun ‘feel’ of this exploratory hour spent at the hearth of your inner need for ‘being home’.
Take advantage of this opportunity to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE about ‘The Feeling of Home’ 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.

This week on Expedition Self, we’re identifying the ‘5 Axial Pillars of Growthwork’.
Do a gratitude journal. Engage in mindfulness and meditation. Read this book and practice energy work. NLP. Tapping. These are all modalities that will to assist in your growth and development.
But before you get there, to reap the fullest advantage of any of these activities, you’ll want to take a good hard look at how well your thinking lines up with your desire to evolve and transform.
This week, Sam is going to define the 5 central ways to think that cause growthwork to not only be more effective but also aid in the acceleration of your deeper purpose in life.
By taking on a set of experimental beliefs, and maintaining a consistent vigil of noticing, forgetting, and questioning, you place yourself at the source of your own instinctive and unpremeditated gathering of forward-moving energy. The kind that will alter everything about your expectations for the future.
So often, we look to signs for reassurance about our tomorrows when all that’s really necessary is to build an active and dynamic relationship with these core ways of relating to life.

This week on Expedition Self, we’re going to explore what it really means when you declare, ‘I Know Who I Am.’
“Who am I?” is one of the most omnipresent questions human beings grapple with throughout their lives. As the journey continues, it seems like once you land on an answer, and feel the peace it offers, something shifts and you’re called to begin the search all over again. What gives with that?
Are you your thoughts? Are you your talents? How do your life experiences define who you are? And if you feel sure about what makes you – you, then you have to ask yourself, “Is this an advantage?”
Identity has everything to do with our sense of belonging and inner wholeness. So it follows that knowing who you are plays a significant role in how and when you show up in life. Are you who you are because of your family, a community you participate in … because of your interests, or physical features … or is it because of what you know? Or your profession?
There are many overarching questions chewing on new thoughts in the background of your every day but this one has an incredible influence on your ability to relate to others and stand fully and powerfully on behalf of your presence. It matters to anyone wanting MORE of themselves to work with and express.
In this show, Sam will talk about all the ways we connect with who we are and also challenge you to think about what you’re depending upon and the aspects of your inner world being ‘filled up’ because of it.
You’ll walk away with lots of new ways to think about your identity, your sense of ‘beingness’, and how you might develop a more dynamic relationship with needing to be ‘someone’.
Take advantage of this opportunity to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE about ‘I Know Who I Am!’ to further your own personal growth.
