    I had the pleasure of speaking to Whiz about my experience with plant medicine and the divine nature of these sacraments. Whiz is a fantastic host and has a remarkable ability to pull stories from his speakers that offer lessons and hope of healing to others. Great work my Brother!

  • Awesome show!

    I had the great privilege of being on the show in July when the amazing Suzi interviewed me! I had been through sexual abuse as a child and struggled tremendously most of my life with ptsd and living my life through a trauma filter. I did psychedelic assisted therapy at age 37 and was completely healed in 8 hours! Their podcast was a great way for me to be able to share my story and I hope it could help someone else take the next steps in their own healing journey.
