Awakening in the Dark: How Crisis Becomes a Teacher

Adam Spillman was a whitewater kayaker whose life blew up at 30 with a stage IIIC testicular cancer diagnosis and over 200 tumors. After brutal chemo, surgery, and a disciplined daily practice of breathwork, meditation, and yoga, Adam is now five years cancer-free. He talks with Darren about the moment everything changed, how to make friends with discomfort, and why paying attention is the first medicine. We also get practical advice for life after crisis, and how yoga helps you rebuild identity when the old one collapses.
