Psychedelics Uncovered My Hidden Shadow

This episode is recorded fresh from a transformative weekend in a mountain cabin after taking a heroic dose of psilocybin mushrooms. Psilocybin isn't new territory for me, but this particular journey cracked open truths about loneliness and isolation that I didn’t see coming.

We talk real, raw, and vulnerable about the loneliness that often hides behind a successful, busy life. Psilocybin revealed how my desire for control and perfection was keeping true connection just out of reach. If you've ever felt lonely despite having "everything," this episode is for you.

Together, we explore what it truly means to "let people in," why emotional release (even through nausea—yes, really!) can be freeing, and how facing shadows is essential for genuine growth.

What You'll Hear:

Why psilocybin was my choice for deep self-discovery

The surprising roots of loneliness, even surrounded by love

Powerful visualizations and lessons from my psychedelic journey

Practical steps for embracing vulnerability in your own life
