Becoming Unf*@kwithable

I'm extremely excited to be chatting with Daniel Shankin about his journey and the work that his organization does helping provide integration, coaching and community for those working with psychedelics to facilitate change, deep healing, personal growth and transformation. We also talk about the ego, meditation, and what to expect when you join one of their healing circles. If learning more about psilocybin is your thing then you will definitely want to hear about the upcoming Psilocybin summit in Sept that we dish on too!

A story of strength, reconnection and self love that reminds us of our humanity and the journey one takes to make it a life of purpose.

I wanted so badly to heal, to make the pain stop, to find answers and any sort of closure I could.


When I attended the Ayahuasca healing ceremony it was 7 days of intense work and purging tears that could have filled the buckets that were intended for puking into during the night. I was there to heal my PTSD, grief and guilt. Emotionally torn into two different directions. Every night that I took ayahuasca took me on a different journey, and by the weeks end I felt the grief subside drastically but the guilt still lingered.

But it wasn’t really gone, it was only suppressed. Maybe I should have wrote a letter and burned it, or I should have had a professional to talk it out with. It needed to be released but instead it sat deep in my subconscious festering for 5 years unbeknownst to me.


For the first time I will be speaking about part of my story I’ve never shared with you via my podcast. Only Sean, my family and a few close people were made aware. This is for anyone who’s ever silenced their intuition and lost themselves in the process.

Being open to connecting with people on Social Media has been MO since I first started using Facebook and Twitter over 9 years ago. It's brought many amazing relationships into my life, many that I've been able to meet in person. One person whom I call one of my best friends, I still haven't met yet. A movie producer and strongman (one of my earlier podcast interviews) out of South Africa.

A relationship born from the 140 character limit of Twitter that has grown over Instagram and Whatsapp. On Feb 28th, 2018 we will finally meet in person in Hollywood CA as guests at his Movie Premier for his film The Lullaby. If this isn't the most epic Social Media meet up of all time I don't know what is.

This episode is particularly going to be a good listen for some of my younger listeners, and those of you who feel like you didn't really have a path to follow.

I've been in those shoes before. Not feeling like you had a way. But sometimes it turns out that you just had to trust and make your own.

.
Breaking free of toxic relationships are never easy, especially when it’s someone who you would think would have your back. In this episode, I’ll be talking about my own personal experiences handling a toxic relationship and how to break free so that you can start making huge strides in your life.

Out of devastation in one chapter comes a new chapter in the story told of how 6IX Cycle came to be, and one woman's decision to start anew in the name of happiness. Her name is Julie Harrish Chief Idea Officer of 6IX Cycle Toronto and she's making waves not only in how she runs her business but in her steadfast commitment to listening to her heart.

"Great grief means great love”. Those were the words that the Shaman told me the next morning while we all sat together in the common area finishing our breakfast of local fresh fruits and oatmeal. It was a long and intense first night towards a powerful step to healing myself with Ayahuasca. I had cried what seemed gallons of tears as my body purged the pain that was buried in me. The grieving process was a dark hole that I desperately wanted to climb out of.

I had never lost anyone close to me before. My Grandparents passed when I was young, and my parents are still thankfully alive and well. How could one possibly be equipped to lose someone they were just getting ready to spend the rest of their life with?

No one is.

All I wanted to know was when would the pain end? When would I be “OK”?

When will I be happy again?

How can I get through the day without medicating myself?

When every day feels like an eternity of pain. It’s hard to see the light at the tunnel.

The only way towards that light was with deep self-care, love, and patience.

In this episode, I speak about my journey through grief, the steps I took to heal myself and how grief can help make you #unfuckwithable

The biggest challenge facing fitness professionals today
What he's learned from his failures
The best advice he's ever received

I have so much love for all the ways social media has been able to connect me to people all over the world, meet new friends, grow my business, and hell, even reconnect me with the man that I would eventually marry.

But anything this powerful should be given respect, and a double-edged sword should be handled carefully. As many benefits that these amazing apps bring, there are many downsides of being on social media TOO much. Depression, social isolation, and the dark rabbit hole of comparison. While we do get some noteworthy posts from different social media influencers shedding light on the "REAL VS INSTAGRAM", those posts are forgotten as quickly as the next thumb swipe....and the vicious cycle continues.

As someone who has to be on social media all day every day, you can bet I get my fill. It takes work but it's not impossible to stop the self sabotaging narrative that pops up when you're wondering why you don't have "X" or you're not "Z".

I speak about how to avoid going down the rabbit hole of comparison on social media in this episode with some of my best tips.

Is it time you stopped drinking?

Perhaps you've pondered how your life would be if you didn't succumb to that bottle of wine on the weekends or regretted having just one too many that lead to the next morning being a write-off. Again swearing off alcohol, at least until the next social event you had to attend.

If you find yourself curious to how giving up alcohol can not only, of course, improve your health but help develop deeper relationships while giving you the edge in business you'll want to listen to Episode 12 of Becoming Unf*@kwithable. .

I speak with Entrepreneur and Author of Better Than The Binge - Adam Lamb about his powerful story behind giving up alcohol and the edge it's given his life both personally and professionally.
