080 | The Rematriation of Psychedelics: Centering Women, Mothers & Indigenous Wisdom

My guest today is Mikaela de la Myco. I was drawn to the way she presents herself as a mother in the psychedelic space through her platform, Mama de la Myco. I had every intention in having a conversation with her about psychedelic parenting. However, I threw out all my questions out the window and followed Mikaela’s energy; it was clear that Mikaela had so much to share with us about centering mothers, women, and indigenous voices in the psychedelic movement.

She lends us a perspective around how the psychedelic mainstream movement is falling short, and the reality of how indigenous people are treated in the psychedelic industry. In addition, we talk about how mushrooms are helping mothers through the challenges of the postpartum period, and how psychedelics might be useful for families.

Mikaela is currently pouring into the Mushrooms and Moms survey with support from Dr. Jim Fadiman and the Microdosing Institute. This project is surveying mothers and birthing people who consumed psilocybin mushrooms throughout their motherhood and parenting journey in order to accumulate a body of evidence for effects of psilocybin on birthing people, women and their children. If you’re a mother or birthing person, please consider contributing to this, linked n the show notes.

Topics Covered:

The intersection of medicine woman, psychedelic mom and sacred hoe
What is MushWomb?
What is a sacred hoe?
Rematriating psychedelics, earth and social resources
The reality of how indigenous people are treated in the psychedelic industry
Grassroots efforts to preserve indigenous wisdom
How mushrooms are helping moms through the postpartum period
Can psychedelics be for teenagers and families?
How Mikaela overcame alcoholism with the help of mushrooms
What is being discovered through the Mushrooms and Moms Survey

079 | I Smoked 5-MeO-DMT: Journeying with the God Molecule into Infinite Love (at Enfold)

I smoked 5-MeO-DMT (synthetic Bufo/Toad Medicine) for the first time, to a full release. And in this episode I am sharing all about it. I let you in on the unfiltered details and share vulnerably about what drew me to this experience, the challenges I faced working with this medicine, how it went and what I learned.

5-MeO-DMT is a different class of drug from the Earth Medicines I am used to. I experienced this as "light medicine," as it facilitated a direct experience of connection with (not to) a higher power beyond this realm and beyond my comprehension. It was the single most mystical, holy, out of this world experience of my life, and I am still making sense of it.

I also debrief on how the retreat unfolded at Enfold Institute, where I went for this medicine.

For me, 5-MeO-DMT felt like that medicine I’ve been preparing for with all my other medicine work. If you are curious about this pure entheogenic medicine, tune in and perhaps plant a seed for you future self. Strap in, because we’re about to go on a ride together.

Topics Covered:

What is 5-MeO-DMT / Bufo?
How I received the call to 5-MeO-DMT
My intentions for the 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony
My reflections on the retreat experience at Enfold
Full details on my 5-MeO-DMT ceremony
The “White Out” aka losing consciousness during 5-MeO-DMT
Detailed recall of my physical somatic release
Existential insights, takeaways and questions from my journey
How my life purpose has changed after 5-MeO-DMT
“Reactivations” after ceremony
Unhealthy habits I’ve released since 5-MeO-DMT
My first month of integration

078 | Support for Navigating Challenging Psychedelic Experiences w/ Jules Evans

What is a challenging psychedelic experience? It turns out that it’s incredibly subjective. What one person finds challenging or bad, another may see as a growth opportunity.

But the current rhetoric around psychedelics presents them as mostly always good, positive, healing and helpful experiences. Jules Evans is dedicated to shining a light on the harms, challenges and dangers of psychedelics.

In this episode, Jules’ takes us through the most common post-trip challenges and offer support for those navigating these challenges. These include but are not limited to: Derealization and depersonalization, post-ecstatic blues, and alienation. We also have a fascinating conversation around sense making, when psychedelics ignite an existential paradigm shift, and over-dogmatism when interpreting psychedelic experiences.

Jules is a a researcher, writer, historian of ideas and practical philosopher. He is interested in ideas and practices which help being suffer less and flourish more. He has written two books, and is currently devoting his energy to the Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project — researching psychedelic harm reduction, ethics and integration. They are currently researching post-trip difficulties and what helps people deal with them.

Topics Covered:

Jules’ traumatic encounter with psychedelics
The good and bad of ecstatic experiences
How we relate to ecstatic experiences
Are challenging trips really always the most valuable?
What constitutes a “challenging” or “bad” trip?
Possible predictive factors for challenging experiences with psychedelics
Derealization and depersonalization after psychedelic experiences
Dealing with “post-ecstatic blues” after peak experiences
Alienation and lack of connection after psychedelic experiences
When psychedelics ignite an existential shift
Over-certainty and over-dogmatism when interpreting psychedelic experiences

Expect to learn a lot, be inspired by Andrew's presence, and be straight-up entertained with his “war on drugs” era stories.

How Cannabis lifted Andrew out of depression during his teen years

075 | What’s Changed in My Life 6 Months After Shipibo Ayahuasca (Integration Update)

074 | Kanna: Supporting Depression & Anxiety with This Legal, Safe & Researched Plant Medicine w/ Ryan Latreille

Could this succulent from South Africa be a daily ally for managing anxiety and depression? Research says yes. Some of the active alkaloids found in Kanna have been well researched and are now prescribed for treating such mental health conditions. Not only is Kanna well researched, it is also legal and has very low risk profile.

Kanna is an empathogen, meaning it increases feelings of connection and empathy towards oneself and others. Rather than being a deep and intense psychedelic experience, Kanna is more often used as a gentle daily support. While it has been used ceremonially in high doses within indigenous cultures, Kanna also offers support as a supplement (microdose) rather than a high dose experience.

Delivering all this fascinating information to us is Ryan Latreille, founder of TWO Kanna companies. He tell us everything we need to know about this plant, in addition to how it has a use case in recreational settings, replacing other more toxic substances. We also cover indigenous use, contraindications, empathogens vs psychedelics, and so much more!

I am SO excited about Kanna, and I know you will be too after listening to this episode. Don't forget to share it with a friend who might find this information valuable!

Topics covered:

Ryan’s story and how he got involved with Kanna
What is kanna?
Kanna as a therapeutic for depression and anxiety
Kanna as a recreational experience
How the Khoi and San people have traditionally worked with Kanna
How Kanna Extract Co is working with traditional communities in South Africa
What is an empathogen and why they’re so healing
Active alkaloids in Kanna & how they impact you
Kanna dosing guidelines
Kanna for microdosing or a daily supplement
Contraindications & risk factors with Kanna
