What if healing isn’t just about medicine but the stories we tell ourselves—and the ones we’re ready to rewrite? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alya Ahmad to explore how our personal narratives shape our identities, our healing, and our capacity for transformation.
We dive into the emerging world of psychedelic medicine, particularly ketamine therapy, and how it’s helping people process trauma, break free from entrenched patterns, and access healing in ways once thought impossible. As psychedelics challenge the idea of 'treatment resistance' and offer a radically new approach to mental health, we discuss what it truly means to heal—mind, body, and story.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your healing journey or wondered what lies beyond conventional medicine, this episode is for you.

She is passionate about reimagining mental health care by blending cutting-edge science with the ancient wisdom of storytelling. Through her work, she is pioneering new approaches that honor the deep connection between mind, body, and personal narrative.
Together, we are reimagining what healing can be.
