Six months ago, I had my most profound and impactful psychedelic experience yet. I smoked 5-MeO-DMT, left my body, somatically released stuck energy, and experienced the infinite love of the universe. This experience set me on an integration journey that has up-leveled my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. In this episode, I'm excited to share the details of my integration journey over these past six months. While there have been many ups and downs, the overall impact on my life and energy has been immensely positive.

In this episode, Ben Malcolm (the Spirit Pharmacist) brings us into the intersection of psychedelics and pharmacology.

What in the world is a psychedelics podcast doing talking about “personal style” and fashion?! This has to be the first.

Psychedelics don’t always make things better. Jesse’s psychedelic ego death experience cracked Jesse open to feel deeply for the first time in her life. After the love and bliss from the experience, she was left to process a lifetime worth of repressed pain. Jesse went through challenges such as ego whiplash, suicidal ideation, social isolation, and depression for months after her psychedelic experience. She is sharing the depth of her experience with us, and how she managed to come out on the other side.

“I heard the call” is a phrase often used to signify readiness for a transformative journey. Have you “heard the call”? How do you know that call is true?

And don’t worry—there’s no fluffy new age spiritual jargon in here! Everything I offer is grounded and operational.
