What if some of the most common beliefs about psychedelics are actually making the journey harder?

In this special live episode, recorded at Anatha Fest, I unpack six common myths about psychedelic medicine work—from the idea that psychedelics will "fix" us, to the belief that bigger doses always lead to deeper healing. Drawing on my own experiences with ayahuasca, iboga, 5-MeO-DMT, coaching, and psychedelic integration, this talk explores a more grounded, nuanced approach to personal growth and transformation.


Topics Covered

  • Why psychedelics won't fix you (and why that's actually good news)
  • The difference between insight and integration
  • What it means to be an active participant in your healing
  • Why the medicine won't tell you what to do
  • The myth that bigger doses are always better
  • Microdosing, nervous system readiness, and the power of going slow
  • Natural vs. synthetic psychedelics: a nuanced conversation
  • Spiritual ego, psychedelic identity, and bypassing
  • Why healing isn't a shortcut
  • The role of preparation and integration in lasting transformation
  • The importance of psychological safety in psychedelic work
