About This Podcast
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.
