| 105 | Recognizing When & How to Take a Break from Psychedelics | 30 Aug 2024 | 00:31:53 | |
In this solo episode with Lana, we explore importance of taking a break from psychedelics and medicine work. While these powerful tools can facilitate profound healing and transformation, there are times when stepping back can be the medicine you need. I discuss five key signs that it might be time to pause, including having too much to integrate, chasing the highs of the experience, and noticing compulsive habits forming around psychedelic use. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone who may be questioning whether they are still benefiting from their psychedelic practices. Additionally, I provide practical strategies for how to take a break effectively, including focusing on integration, exploring other modalities, and prioritizing other areas of life. This conversation is rooted in the importance of listening to your intuition and recognizing that everyone’s journey with psychedelics is unique. If you are considering a pause for psychedelics and The Work, this episode provides guidance on finding balance and ensuring that your psychedelic experiences continue to serve your highest good.

Today's episode is a very special story time. On Lana's 30th birthday, we took a journey with the Sacred mushroom that we will NEVER forget. In spirituality, people often say "we're all just walking each other home," and in this episode, we tell the story of how Zoey was guided back home to her star family. Psychedelics can open us up to higher realms of consciousness. Many, many, many people have experiences with higher-dimensional beings under psychedelics. We wanted to share this experience with you all because it was truly awakening in so many beautiful ways. We are always surrounded by a loving universe around us, including other entities from other places. We have learned that there is nothing to fear when it comes to one's personal awakening - whatever that may look like.

| 095 | The “Refinement” Stage of Psychedelic Integration: Personal Style, Slow Fashion & Conscious Consumption | 31 May 2024 | 00:52:18 | |
What in the world is a psychedelics podcast doing talking about “personal style” and fashion?! This has to be the first. But discovering your personal style is identity work that requires vulnerability. It’s a deeply meaningful journey of self discovery. If you don’t see the connection now, then you will by the end of this podcast. In this episode, I am introducing a concept around the different stages of psychedelic integration: There is the “heavy lifting” stage where we’re doing deep work to significantly improve our lives, followed by the “refinement” stage which is a lighter process of fine tuning. For me, this refinement process is showing up in my journey to discover my personal style. The misalignment between my identity and my wardrobe has come up a few times during psychedelic journeys, and I am finally addressing it so that the outside is a true reflection of my inside. I also make the connection between the responsibility to find your personal style, living a values-based life, and sustainable consumption. Topics Covered:

| 094 | When Psychedelics Make Things Worse: Navigating Integration Challenges & "Ego Whiplash" | 24 May 2024 | 00:53:25 | |
Psychedelics don’t always make things better. Jesse’s psychedelic ego death experience cracked Jesse open to feel deeply, which was a new experience for her. After the love and bliss from the experience faded, she was left to process a lifetime worth of repressed pain. Jesse went through challenges such as ego whiplash, suicidal ideation, social isolation, and depression for months after her psychedelic experience. But it's not all bad: she was able to harness this challenging time as a point of transformation. In this episode, she is sharing the depth of her experience with us, and how she managed to come out on the other side. Topics Covered:

| 091 | Creating Lasting Lifestyle Change During Psychedelic Integration: 10 Tips from a Life Coach | 03 May 2024 | 00:28:08 | |
"Behavior change is identity change." When it comes to psychedelics, our identity changes, but our behaviors have yet to catch up. The process of aligning your behaviors with your true self can be a part of psychedelic integration. It is very common to desire lifestyle changes after a meaningful consciousness-altering experience. So, why do so many of us struggle with actually making the change? Integrating lifestyle change is some of the slowest, most challenging, and grueling work. In this episode, I am sharing ten tips you can try out to make your desired lifestyle changes stick.

| 089 | The 7 Levels of Consciousness You Need to Know About if You’re on a Healing Journey | 19 Apr 2024 | 00:34:04 | |
Get your notebook out because you’re going to want to take notes from this episode. Today I am providing education on the seven levels of consciousness that you need to know if you are on a healing journey or on the path of transformation. This information has the potential to empower the way that you perceive yourself and the world around you. It will also trigger insight into some of your limiting beliefs and energetic blockages that might be keeping you stuck in life. I'm going to share with you the seven levels of consciousness, and I am going to tell you about a research validated tool that will help you understand your own “energetic profile”. The iPEC seven levels of consciousness framework is the coaching methodology I use in my work, and it happens to pair brilliantly with psychedelics. Topics Covered:

| 088 | How Underground Psychedelic Guides Develop Their Skills, Wisdom & Training (w/ Rachel Harris) | 12 Apr 2024 | 01:00:37 | |
The women of the psychedelic underground stand in stark contrast to psychedelic therapists, clinicians and researchers. In some ways, they hold much more wisdom and knowledge about working with these medicines. It’s an honor to have Dr. Rachel Harris back on the podcast to discuss this. Since we last spoke, she has released a new book called Swimming in the Sacred: Lessons from the Psychedelic Underground. This is one of the most important books written about psychedelics, as it shines a light on the wisdom and work done by elder women psychedelic guides. Dr. Rachel Harris has been in private practice for 40 years as a psychologist. Later in her career, she began exploring psychedelics for healing and transformation. In this conversation, we dissect what exactly transformation is, and the qualities that these underground elder guides have, making them so effective at facilitating transformation (which is very different from healing). Listen in for a chance to win a copy of Swimming in the Sacred! Topics Covered:

| 087 | My Full Psychedelic Healing Journey & Origin Story: War, Abandonment, Heartbreak & Alienation | 05 Apr 2024 | 01:05:06 | |
This episode is so personal and vulnerable that I am almost uncomfortable sharing it publicly. I share my entire life story and my healing journey out of the darkness. I take listeners through the formation of my core wounds and self-destructive narratives, which ultimately left me depressed, anxious, lost, and disempowered to move my life forward in a positive direction. But that’s only half of the story. The second half is the documentation of my healing journey with therapy, medicine work and self-discovery. By sharing these details, I am shining a light of the gift of the struggle. Most of my life has been an uphill battle, but in recent years I have reached a place of peace, happiness and fulfillment. And most of all, gratitude for it ALL! Please consume this episode with nothing but love, as the specifics shared are very vulnerable and done with the aim of inspiring and giving hope to others who are also struggling in life. One thing is for sure: It’s possible to get to the other side, and life can be better than you ever thought possible. Topics Covered:

| 085 | My Relationship with Cannabis: How It Helped Me with Healing, Integration, Creativity & Self-Love | 22 Mar 2024 | 00:20:08 | |
Cannabis is a slippery slope: It feels like addiction and over-indulgence are always around the corner. But for the most part, I’ve developed a practice and relationship with cannabis that has been supportive to my life. In this episode, I reflect on my relationship with the plant, how it’s changed, and the role it played in my overall healing journey. While getting high is fun and has its place, cannabis really taught me to enjoy my time alone and explore my inner landscape. It’s also been instrumental as a creative and expressive tool while producing this podcast. I also present the advantages and potential pitfalls of cannabis, and finding a personal balance with usage. The episode further touches on my change in cannabis consumption patterns over time, my favorite consumption method, and cannabis usage in a social setting. Topics Covered:

| 084 | 5-MeO-DMT Deep Dive: A Non-Dual Experience That Can Reset the Nervous System (w/ Steve Rio) | 15 Mar 2024 | 01:27:29 | |
This conversation covers details about 5-MeO-DMT that have not yet been explored seriously in the public sphere. We go far beyond the basics of this medicine as Steve Rio and I explore the nuances and complexities of the non-dual experience and integration process that follows. We also get into the somatic and nervous system benefits of this medicine. Steve Rio’s understanding of this medicine has matured and deepened since we last dropped in three years ago (for episode 8; a great episode to learn the basics around 5-MeO-DMT). Steve is the co-founder of Enfold Institute, a place to experience a safe and sacred 5-MeO-DMT ceremony. He is a true embodiment of this medicine: humble, direct, pure and speaks from the heart. We recorded this conversation in late January, two months into my integration process at a time when I was really awakening to how powerful this medicine is. I share a few stories of some intense reactivations post-journey, and what I’ve been learning and integrating. Enjoy this raw and clear conversation — just like 5-MeO-DMT. Topics Covered:

| 080 | The Rematriation of Psychedelics: Centering Women, Mothers & Indigenous Wisdom | 02 Feb 2024 | 01:19:40 | |
My guest today is Mikaela de la Myco. I was drawn to the way she presents herself as a mother in the psychedelic space through her platform, Mama de la Myco. I had every intention in having a conversation with her about psychedelic parenting. However, I threw out all my questions out the window and followed Mikaela’s energy; it was clear that Mikaela had so much to share with us about centering mothers, women, and indigenous voices in the psychedelic movement. She lends us a perspective around how the psychedelic mainstream movement is falling short, and the reality of how indigenous people are treated in the psychedelic industry. In addition, we talk about how mushrooms are helping mothers through the challenges of the postpartum period, and how psychedelics might be useful for families. Mikaela is currently pouring into the Mushrooms and Moms survey with support from Dr. Jim Fadiman and the Microdosing Institute. This project is surveying mothers and birthing people who consumed psilocybin mushrooms throughout their motherhood and parenting journey in order to accumulate a body of evidence for effects of psilocybin on birthing people, women and their children. If you’re a mother or birthing person, please consider contributing to this, linked n the show notes. Topics Covered:

| 079 | I Smoked 5-MeO-DMT: Journeying with the God Molecule into Infinite Love (at Enfold) | 19 Jan 2024 | 00:59:46 | |
I smoked 5-MeO-DMT (synthetic Bufo/Toad Medicine) for the first time, to a full release. And in this episode I am sharing all about it. I let you in on the unfiltered details and share vulnerably about what drew me to this experience, the challenges I faced working with this medicine, how it went and what I learned. 5-MeO-DMT is a different class of drug from the Earth Medicines I am used to. I experienced this as "light medicine," as it facilitated a direct experience of connection with (not to) a higher power beyond this realm and beyond my comprehension. It was the single most mystical, holy, out of this world experience of my life, and I am still making sense of it. I also debrief on how the retreat unfolded at Enfold Institute, where I went for this medicine. For me, 5-MeO-DMT felt like that medicine I’ve been preparing for with all my other medicine work. If you are curious about this pure entheogenic medicine, tune in and perhaps plant a seed for you future self. Strap in, because we’re about to go on a ride together. Topics Covered:

| 078 | Support for Navigating Challenging Psychedelic Experiences w/ Jules Evans | 05 Jan 2024 | 01:04:37 | |
What is a challenging psychedelic experience? It turns out that it’s incredibly subjective. What one person finds challenging or bad, another may see as a growth opportunity. But the current rhetoric around psychedelics presents them as mostly always good, positive, healing and helpful experiences. Jules Evans is dedicated to shining a light on the harms, challenges and dangers of psychedelics. In this episode, Jules’ takes us through the most common post-trip challenges and offer support for those navigating these challenges. These include but are not limited to: Derealization and depersonalization, post-ecstatic blues, and alienation. We also have a fascinating conversation around sense making, when psychedelics ignite an existential paradigm shift, and over-dogmatism when interpreting psychedelic experiences. Jules is a a researcher, writer, historian of ideas and practical philosopher. He is interested in ideas and practices which help being suffer less and flourish more. He has written two books, and is currently devoting his energy to the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project — researching psychedelic harm reduction, ethics and integration. They are currently researching post-trip difficulties and what helps people deal with them. Topics Covered:

| 076 | Navigating Cannabis: What the Confused Consumer Needs to Know w/ Andrew DeAngelo | 08 Dec 2023 | 01:19:18 | |
We have a veteran cannabis industry change-maker, advocate, and expert with us. With over 40 years of involvement with cannabis, Andrew DeAngelo has made a massive impact on the cannabis space. And the psychedelic space stands on the shoulders of the cannabis industry. I had so much fun talking to Andrew DeAngelo (both our cheeks were hurting at the end of the interview from laughing and smiling so much). Which is fitting because we discuss how cannabis has a very humorous teaching style. Cannabis is a medicine I love and have a beautiful relationship with, yet I actually don't know too much about it. So, it's an honor to be learning together with you, the listeners! You might be surprised at some of Andrew’s advice for approaching cannabis. Expect to learn a lot, be inspired by Andrew's presence, and be straight-up entertained with his “war on drugs” era stories. Topics covered:

After 30+ ayahuasca journeys, I finally got to experience the Shipibo medicine with a direct lineage. It was a beautiful experience and a lot has changed for me since then. Overall, I feel ligher, brighter, and more comfortable in my skin. In this episode, I am giving you an integration update: what exactly has changed for me, what steps have I taken to integrate the insights, and what's different about me as a person? I hope this episode inspire you to continue to learn and grow with plant medicines. I started sitting with ayahuasca years ago when I was totally broken, and even though I am not in that place anymore, the plants continue to teach and guide me. No matter where we are in our journey, the plants have so much to teach us. Topics covered:

| 074 | Kanna: Supporting Depression & Anxiety with This Legal, Safe & Researched Plant Medicine w/ Ryan Latreille | 10 Nov 2023 | 01:11:21 | |
Could this succulent from South Africa be a daily ally for managing anxiety and depression? Research says yes. Some of the active alkaloids found in Kanna have been well researched and are now prescribed for treating such mental health conditions. Not only is Kanna well researched, it is also legal and has very low risk profile. Kanna is an empathogen, meaning it increases feelings of connection and empathy towards oneself and others. Rather than being a deep and intense psychedelic experience, Kanna is more often used as a gentle daily support. While it has been used ceremonially in high doses within indigenous cultures, Kanna also offers support as a supplement (microdose) rather than a high dose experience. Delivering all this fascinating information to us is Ryan Latreille, founder of TWO Kanna companies. He tell us everything we need to know about this plant, in addition to how it has a use case in recreational settings, replacing other more toxic substances. We also cover indigenous use, contraindications, empathogens vs psychedelics, and so much more! I am SO excited about Kanna, and I know you will be too after listening to this episode. Don't forget to share it with a friend who might find this information valuable! Topics covered:

| 070 | Microdosing Kanna for Anxiety & Emotional Regulation: A Legal & Safe Empathogen | 29 Sep 2023 | 00:49:30 | |
Let's talk about Kanna! This is a legal, safe and well-researched plant medicine from South Africa. In today's episode, Jenny and I are giving you an introduction to this little succulent, and sharing about our experience microdosing Kanna. Kanna is a psychedelic-adjacent plant that is psycho-active but classified as an empathogen rather than a psychedelic. Still, there are many benefit to working with it in a similar way we work with psychedelics. It is a heart-opening medicine that invites us to slow down and ease stress. As the season are changing, we are both experiencing a time of transition, which is the perfect time to do a microdosing protocol. The best part? Kanna is completely legal and accessible within North America. Stay tuned for a future episode where I will be interviewing a Kanna expert for a much deeper dive into this medicine. Topics covered:

| 069 | Bridging Indigenous Ayahuasca w/ The West at An Ethical Psychedelic Retreat | 22 Sep 2023 | 01:16:47 | |
PUBLISHERS NOTE: As of January 2024, I can no longer recommend Reunion as a place to experience plant medicine. See full statement HERE. This does not pertain to the guests in the episode, whom I still endorse as medicine providers. Ayahuasca and Psilocybin-containing mushrooms are a beautiful gift to humanity. As we explore these medicines in the West, we need to remember that we are entering a cultural paradigm that is different from our own. In this interview with Sr. Program Directors at Reunion Experience, we explore how we can show up to medicine in a good way. If you want to enter medicine spaces with respect, reverence, and reciprocity for the cultures that these medicines come from, this conversation is for you. This convo is extremely valuable for current or aspiring space holders in the world of plant medicine, AND, for participants in plant medicine circles. I had an opportunity to visit Reunion in Costa Rica, and realized that it's a truly special place. The fact that it's a not for profit center is the tip of the iceberg. Medicine is truly guiding the way the Reunion team operates: With deep humility, grace, reverence and respect for the cultures, plant teachers, and the Way of Nature. Karina and Julian are not speaking on behalf of any of the lineages they work with, rather from their experiences as students and cultural bridges. Topics covered:

| 066 | Psilocybin Mushrooms for Women's Mental, Physical and Spiritual Health | 25 Aug 2023 | 01:00:40 | |
Jennifer Chesak is an award-winning freelance science and medical journalist, editor, and fact-checker based in Nashville, Tennessee. She earned her master of science degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill. And her work has appeared in the Washington Post, Healthline, Better Homes and Gardens, The Daily Beast, B*tch, and more. Her most recent book is The Psilocybin Handbook for Women: How Magic Mushrooms, Psychedelic Therapy, and Microdosing Can Benefit Your Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Health. Her mission here as a journalist stems from being a woman who has been fed up with women being left behind by the medical system. In this episode she shares some of the events that led her to psilocybin, and writing this book. Jennifer actually interviewed me for the set and setting chapter of this book, so you can find me in chapter 10! I wanted to bring her on the show to share everything she’s learned while writing this book. She has a wealth of information from how to microdose and trip sit to understanding the latest psychedelic research, and incorporating indigenous wisdom. The Psilocybin Handbook for Women is a resource for everyone, although it features information specific to those assigned female at birth—because psychedelics may have different effects and applications across the sexes.

| 065 | Ketamine 101: Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy & Making Treatment Accessible with Dr. Kyle Greenway | 11 Aug 2023 | 01:09:18 | |
It’s the ketamine episode you’ve been waiting for! Ketamine is not technically a (classic) psychedelic, yet it behaves like one. Many researchers and scientists in the psychedelic space consider it to be a psychedelic, and are applying the psychedelic assisted psychotherapy model to its use. This episode is a treasure trove of information for those who are considering ketamine for treatment, and those who want to learn more about this “chameleon” drug. Delivering this information is Dr. Kyle Greenway; a highly respected ketamine researcher and psychiatrist. He keeps a low profile, so it was truly special to have him on the show. Dr. Greenway is a psychiatrist and assistant professor at McGill University. He completed a research fellowship at Imperial's psychedelic research centre and co-led the development of two academic clinics utilizing ketamine in treatment-resistant depression. These clinics are amongst the only services in the world to provide ketamine-assisted therapy in public healthcare systems. Beyond his academic accolades, Dr. Greenway is very fun to learn from. I promise you that even though this conversation is highly academic, we had a lot of fun talking about serious subject matter. Topics covered:

Beloved Iboga Provider Levi Barker is back! We recorded this episode live in person in Costa Rica, while I was visiting Iboga Wellness Center in May 2023. In this episode, we go deeper into exploring this beautiful medicine and the Bwiti tradition. If you are considering working with Iboga or want to learn more, this episode is full of information that isn’t available elsewhere. The Bwiti tradition is the study of life, and we are so lucky that Levi is sharing a little bit about it with us today. This is something that is typically only reserved for those on on Bwiti Iboga retreat. We talk about how this medicine helps us find truth by simplifying life. Levi also provides some reflections on changes he has seen in me since my ceremonies 6 months ago. And, he plays the Moungongo for us on the show — which is a traditional Bwiti instrument. Enjoy this one! See show notes for more on my full review of IWC and to connect with Levi. Topics covered:

| 058 | Iboga Sustainability Issues: Building A Bridge Between Gabon, Africa & the West | 12 May 2023 | 00:59:09 | |
Anyone who has worked with Iboga (or ibogaine) or is feeling the call will gain a lot of valuable information in this episode. It’s not a secret that there are severe sustainability issues with this powerful medicine. Not only is the medicine (the Iboga tree) being threatened, but so is the cultural heritage underpinning it. Blessings of the Forest (BOTF) is non-profit organization working on the ground with the Gabonese to preserve, research and share knowledge about the medicinal plants and indigenous traditions of the Gabonese forest people for the benefit of all of humanity. Their impact is beyond planting iboga trees: they are working with the Gabonese to define and uphold right relationship with Westerners who want to work with Iboga. This is a beautiful episode full of nuanced information about Iboga, Bwiti and Gabon. I interviewed David Nassim, BOTF’s co-director, who was so generous in his sharing. He took us through how the Western World has put a huge strain on access to Iboga for the Gabonese, and offers solutions such as upholding the Nagoya protocol, Voacanga Africana as a sustainable ibogaine alternative, and more importantly, really listening to what the Gabonese want and need. Please donate to BOFT, with only 30 Euros you can sponsor an Iboga tree to be planted in Gabon. If you have worked with Iboga, it’s advised that you sponsor 3-5 trees. PRODUCTION NOTE: The last few minutes of David’s mic is lower quality, but hang in there for his parting words of wisdom. Topics covered:
