This week my guest is Kevin Colley. Kevin and I met a few months back at Wake’s clinical retreat in Jamaica. Kevin and I discuss his childhood in Canada, his professional hockey career in the NHL, the impact his career had on his identity and the chaos that ensued after a tragic end to his career. Kevin opens up about how psychedelic mushrooms saved his life and his new found sense of joy, gratitude, and purpose.

Kevin is a former NHL player who broke his neck during a game in January 2006, which in effect ended his playing career.
His story revolves around the intersection of professional sports, injury, and alternative healing methods, specifically the use of psilocybin mushrooms. As some of you may be aware, this was featured on ESPN's Peace of Mind series, where they followed a group of former athletes participating in a medical retreat centered around the therapeutic use of psilocybin.
Kevin’s transformation has been incredible to watch and today he’s here to share his story.
