We sit down with Katie Simons, Doctor of Pharmacy, who left the VA after COVID burnout revealed the cracks in the system. She transitioned from symptom management to sovereignty. Katie shares how plant medicine, hypnotherapy, breath work, and meditation help to dismantle our default patterns. Katie explains why safety and nervous system regulation come first, before any deep inner work.
If you’re curious about microdosing, ceremonial medicine, or simply finding a grounded path out of burnout and into sovereignty, this conversation offers tools, perspective, and real hope.
