98 — Exploring Connection and Authenticity with Dr. Adam Dorsay
Sunday, 9 November, 2025
In this episode of the Unboxable podcast, we meet Dr. Adam Dorsay, a psychologist and resiliency expert working primarily with men in Silicon Valley. Dr. Dorsay discusses his background, personal life, professional work, and his passion for connection. The conversation dives into the vital importance of connecting with oneself, others, the world, and something greater. We explore the essence of flow, authenticity, and overcoming societal pressures. We also discuss Dr. Dorsay's book on connection, the therapeutic benefits of awe, and the challenges of being authentic in a society filled with expectations. The discussion is peppered with insights on music, personal anecdotes, and the importance of human connection in mental well-being.

My mission is to support women — especially those in service or helping professions — finally shift from recurring cycles of hustle and overwhelm to a space of clarity, presence, and peace. On this podcast, we have honest conversations about true healing and inner freedom. We specifically dig into navigating that challenging space I call "grey area mental health"—when you're not fully well, but maybe not "sick enough" for conventional support.. My signature program, The LionLife Method, is all about accessing body-based (somatic) tools to help you reconnect inside and out, recalibrate your nervous system and reclaim your energy, for good.
