In episode 3 of Hot Seat, Akaash explores his lifelong struggle with authority figures, and discovers his higher self has become the latest one he's rebelling against.

Growing up with a commanding mother who dictated every decision and an absent father who prioritized career over family, Akaash learned early that complying meant survival. He never knew he could choose. Teachers, coaches, even white males in general, he felt himself shrink around anyone he perceived as having power over him. For years, alcohol was the only thing that let him feel "normal" around people.

Fast forward to today: Akaash has transformed nearly every area of his life. He left toxic relationships, quit his corporate career, moved cities, built a spiritual practice. But there's still one domain where he feels paralyzed, approaching women when his heart tells him to. And in this conversation, the pattern becomes crystal clear.

His higher self is giving him directions (intuitive hits to talk to someone), and he's treating those nudges like orders from an authority figure he doesn't want to obey. The same rebellion that protected him as a child is now the thing keeping him from his deepest desires. Cam breaks down how the final 5% of reclaiming your power isn't about healing wounds from external authority, it's about trusting yourself enough to follow your own inner knowing without resistance.

This episode goes deep into compliance vs. choice, masculine devotion, leading with compassion, and why the same wound that made you empathetic might be the thing blocking you from stepping fully into your power.

In episode 2 of Hot Seat, Akaash gets vulnerable about the one area of his life where he still feels completely stuck: approaching women.

After years of self-improvement, meditation, and massive life changes, Akaash has transformed everything – except this. He's left toxic relationships, quit his corporate job, moved cities, and found his power in nearly every domain. But when it comes to talking to someone he's attracted to? Total paralysis.

What makes this conversation different is that Akaash isn't avoiding it out of fear of rejection. He can literally feel his future partner's energy – recognizes shards of her in people he meets. The universe keeps sending him signs. So why can't he move? We explore the gap between logical knowing and emotional readiness, why "just getting reps" isn't always the answer, and how sometimes the resistance isn't about the action itself, it's about what comes after.

By the end, Akaash walks away with permission to trust what he already knows.
