Grief, Guilt, Psychedelics & Signs: What Losing My Mother Taught Me About Letting Go (SOLO Episode)

EP 07. This is probably the most personal thing I've ever shared. With Mother's Day just behind us, I've been reflecting on the nine months since my mom passed—and the complicated, emotional, and even spiritual journey I’ve been on since.

In this solo episode, I open up about the decline of my mom's health, the moment I realized I had to begin letting her go, and the unexpected ways I processed my grief—from psychedelic journeys to Buddhist rituals and breathwork—and the ways I'm connecting with my mom today.

This is an honest reflection on love, loss, guilt, and healing—for anyone who’s lost someone and is still trying to make sense of what it means to move forward.

You'll Learn:

• What it looked like to begin letting go before my mom passed
• How psychedelics (psilocybin) helped me connect with my emotions and release grief stored in my body
• What Chinese Buddhist death rituals taught me about honoring a loved one
• How breathwork helped me move through the guilt I was carrying
• The signs—from numbers to pineapples—that reminded me my mom is still with me
• Why grief might never go away, but love never does either
