In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Aaron Alexander, a movement coach, author, and podcaster who dives deep into the human experience—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Aaron opens up about his upbringing, sharing how insecurity, emotional disconnection at home, and the conflicts he witnessed shaped his early years. He explains how those challenges sparked his journey of self-discovery, healing, and seeking tools to break old patterns.
From experimenting with psychedelics in his youth to exploring therapy, presence, and deeper spiritual practices, Aaron reflects on how trauma—when faced instead of avoided—can actually become one’s greatest gift.
The conversation touches on the importance of environment, sunlight, movement, and breath for well-being, while also unpacking the dangers of suppression, the benefits and risks of psychedelics, and the unseen dimensions of human existence. Through it all, Aaron emphasizes that at our core, we’re all made of love, and growth comes from removing the barriers that keep us from fully connecting with ourselves and others.
This powerful discussion invites listeners to rethink their own stories and consider how the struggles they carry might actually be the source of their greatest strength.
