The Psychedelic Integration PodcastEP 143 | Allowing Your Wellness with Plant MedicineWhat if everything you think you know about life, the world, how things work, and the nature of reality is actually... wrong? Plant medicine lifts the veil and shows us that everything we are attached to, that we think we know, is false. The effect is that we stop being able to pretend. To live in a material world of cause and effect. It shows us the true nature of reality: That we are vibrational beings living in a vibrational, conscious Universe. That everything is vibration. On this week's show, I'm going on a mighty...2025-07-2449 min

The Psychedelic Integration PodcastEP 141 | Slow Down to Speed UpThat urgency you feel all the time? That's not actually yours. How many of us are running unconscious programs of unworthiness playing themselves out through production and performance instead of presence? What would happen if you opened space in your day? Your heart? Stillness and slowness create space to feel. To understand. The way to breakthrough and uplevel is not "do more and go faster," it's put it all down. Give yourself unconditional permission to feel it all. To let it all fall away. And to trust life to surprise and amaze you...2025-07-1034 min

The Psychedelic Integration PodcastEP 139 | The Healing Power of Sacred RageAre you afraid of your anger?Anger is the misunderstood arsonist teenager who roams inside each of us wreaking havoc and setting fires. This inner rebel is simultaneously the protector, the vigilante, the protestor, and Ultimate Fighting Champion. It's hot, impulsive, and feels so dangerous.When anger is around, so is judgment. Of others, and especially ourselves. We think anger isn't spiritual. It's low vibe and means we haven't gotten very far on our journey. We're supposed to be better than this...OK, but we're not doing it like that, Family....2025-06-2632 min

Blaming your partner. Blaming your siblings. Blaming Spirit. Blaming humanity. Blaming everyone. And finally, blaming yourself. The work with medicine is radical. Revolutionary. It asks big things of you. It asks you to forgive. To find compassion and love. To stop making it all about you. To see with new eyes. To open to writing a new story. One where blame becomes an opportunity to reclaim your sovereignty.Blame keeps you trapped in a cycle of victimhood. But when you gather...2025-05-3049 min

The Psychedelic Integration PodcastEP 127 | How to Do Your Inner WorkLet's be real. Doing your "inner work" is kind of a bitch. It's the uncomfortable, sticky, often unfun process of excavation, unlearning, deprogramming, sifting, sorting, and sitting with all the things that have been stuffed inside you for years. We can hold and hide and cram a lot inside us. We're actually really efficient at storing our internal garbage and saving it up so we can torment ourselves with it. We're pretty great at suffering. In this episode, I explore practical tools and strategies for doing the inner work and integrating psychedelic experiences into your...2025-03-0659 min

From a clinical session with a therapist, to a solo trip out in nature, to journeying with friends, to going to a full immersion retreat in the Amazon, and everything in between. And while all paths are valid, all experiences are powerful, and all the ways are good ways – there is nothing more powerful, potent, and catalytic for deep, lasting change than ceremonial medicine containers. Healing is amplified in community. When you are witnessed, held, and trust your fellow seekers to walk alongside you. Wh...2025-02-2746 min

The second rule is the hours are 24/7 and there are no breaks. The third rule is "that's not good enough, I'll just do it myself..."

One of the biggest blessings I have in my life is getting to meet and work with inspiring people doing big time miracles in their lives with plant medicines. In the last year, I have had the immense pleasure of getting to know and work with my soul brother Andrew Fletcher.
On the surface, Andrew's life was going great. He was a practicing doctor and lawyer. He had a beautiful wife, spacious home, and plenty of money. But inside he was battling a deep lack of worthiness that...2024-12-051h 08

The boundaries I have grown in my life have blessed me with a love and partnership that is hard to believe is real sometimes because it feels so wonderful.
Boundaries have gifted me time with myself, and loving connections off all depths and varieties because I am able to say, gently, "I don't have the capacity for this." And be received by loving, conscious humans who understand.

You've done all the "right" things... but you're just not feeling it. You keep hearing about all these other people having cosmic healing experiences, but it's not happening for you.

The Psychedelic Integration PodcastEP 111 | Radical Acceptance Without UnderstandingThe path to freedom starts with acceptance
So much of the stuckness and confusion we experience on the path of awakening is because we refuse to accept what is.
It's really that simple.
Are you stuck? Looking backward at the past and wishing things were different? Do you feel an attachment to a story or belief that you know deep down isn't serving you? Are you in conflict with yourself? With someone you love? Why? What is the thing that's true that you can't swallow?
What are you not admitting?

When you allow silence and space and time to bring their presence deep into your life and open you. Crack you wide. To fill all the emptiness with the light of awareness. Being still feels like a luxury. A fairy tale most of us have no idea how to actually practice.
And it's the thing we need the most. Like throwing open all the windows in the room and inviting the breeze to come in and refresh everything.

The crushing despair of conformity and sameness. We refuse mediocrity.

The Psychedelic Integration PodcastEP 105 | Redefining Psychedelic IntegrationSometimes I forget that a lot of people think "psychedelic integration" is just sitting around in circles full of psychonauts talking about what happened in your latest medicine journey in extreme detail. It's all about the visionary experience and who saw what and how deep they went. "Psychedelics are trippy! AMAZING! YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ON MY JOURNEY!"
I will probably get dragged for this, but what a snoozefest.

The alchemy of love is the process we all go through inside our conscious awakening where the real scope of LOVE is made known inside our hearts.

In this episode I explore the different ways to sit with plant medicines, and why sometimes, it's not always necessary to receive lessons the hard way.
We live in such a stimulating, fast-paced, dopamine fueled society and slowness asks us to stop. Be present. Find the subtle layers and textures and silence within. Psychedelics don't need to blast you out of yourself, they are here to awaken your true path to your heart.

Calling your power and presence back home give you the resources to stay the course.
When you stop being how everyone expects you to be, you have to get comfortable disappointing people. Not being liked. Belonging to yourself instead of fitting in. Maybe people disagree with you. Someone not being pleased with you. And that all being fine and dandy because you are living in a new realm.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year. Through the lens of Western medicine, anxiety is seen one of many mental health disorders that are becoming more prevalent and less treatable through that same system.
