Ethical Adulthood with Andrea Fiondo explores non-duality, yoga, meditation, music, sacred texts, culture, and the ordinary work of meeting our lives with humor, compassion, clarity, responsibility, kindness, and respect for the reality we actually share. These are spoken reflections from a yogi who has stepped off the path.

Season 1 explores the five capacities that form the foundation of this podcast. How do we stay humane, grounded, and accountable when ethics are thin, certainty is collapsing, and maturity is rarely rewarded? Here, we stay close to what we can actually see, live, test, suffer, repair, and recognize together.

Season 2 explores ethical adulthood through music.

Each episode uses a song as a doorway into one of the capacities we need to navigate modern life with integrity: the ability to tolerate uncertainty, repair relationships, live with loss, hold power responsibly, question our own certainty, and stay connected to what is real.

Drawing from artists as diverse as Bill Withers, Joni Mitchell, Indigo Girls, Fleetwood Mac, Jason Mraz, Chicago, Rush, Carly Simon, and others, these reflections look beyond self-improvement and into the ordinary work of becoming a mature human being.

The songs become case studies. The lyrics become stories. The music becomes a mirror.

This is not a nostalgia podcast. It is an exploration of what these songs still have to teach us about love, responsibility, freedom, belonging, grief, courage, and the complicated task of sharing a world with other people.

Recorded in Detroit, these episodes invite listeners to think more deeply, listen more carefully, and practice the difficult art of growing up without growing hard.

Season 1 introduced the five capacities that form the foundation of Ethical Adulthood.

Season 2 asks what those capacities look like in real life.
