In this episode of Sharing Without Shame, Donna Marston hosts April Piotrowski, a successful entrepreneur and advocate for healing through non-traditional methods. April openly shares her journey from addiction recovery to finding inner peace through alternative healing methods, specifically microdosing and psychedelic-assisted therapy. She discusses her initial struggle to overcome addiction through traditional programs like the 12-step approach and describes how her exploration into psychedelics provided her with a newfound sense of self and emotional healing. This transformative journey allowed her to release childhood traumas and reconnect with her true self. As the conversation unfolds, April explains the value of integrating these healing experiences into everyday life, emphasizing the importance of guidance, safety, and reflection throughout the process. She details how practices like meditation, breathwork, and journaling help her process and embed insights gained from her journeys. April’s story highlights the dual nature of such experiences – intense and often challenging but ultimately rewarding – as they enable individuals to unpack personal baggage and foster deeper connections with themselves and others.
April Piotrowski is a successful Entrepreneur, Mentor, Transcendental Explorer, Integration Specialist, and Medicine Guide. Through a dynamic history of overcoming her own struggles using various modalities of self-healing, mentorship, and plant medicine journeys, her areas of focus include shadow work, psychedelic integration, cultivating healthy relationships between the sacred masculine and feminine, inner child work, IFS, grief work, and somatic experiencing. April is passionate about supporting others in deep inner reflection, overcoming shame through healing childhood trauma, finding empowerment through self-acceptance, and reclaiming a sense of individual wholeness for greater collective harmony.
