    Episode 84: Spiritual Awakening 101

    John Lumiere-Wins has spent years steeped in non-dual practice, watching humanity reach a critical threshold. We're either waking up together or we're done. And he believes psychedelics are part of that awakening. In this conversation we explore what it means to recognize the shared, transformative process our species is experiencing right now. He shares experiential skills and practices for remembering your true nature: inherent harmony, spontaneous benevolence, and the recognition that your awakening is everyone's awakening because, in essence, we are one. This episode is for anyone feeling called to wake up. For anyone sensing that personal transformation and collective evolution are inseparable. For anyone ready to remember what they've always known. Your awakening is the world's awakening. Connect with John https://www.johnlumiere-wins.com/

    Episode 83: Authentic = Magnetic

    On this episode I chat with Jane Garnett about what happens when you stop chasing society's version of success and start asking what actually makes a life juicy. We explore the breadcrumbs we've been following, validation, approval, performance and what it costs to finally relinquish them. But this isn't a conversation about giving up. It's about trading the faux middle for the real one. About living on the spectrum instead of pretending to be balanced. About the ridiculous and beautiful conundrum of wanting something deeply while being completely okay if you never get it. This is for anyone who's suddenly realized they've been living someone else's dream.

    Episode 82: Women's Health & Mushrooms

    Jennifer Chesak is a medical journalist and plant medicine advocate and author of The Psilocybin Handbook for Women. In her research she discovered that women were being left out of clinical trials until 1993. Now, women are turning to psychedelics to self-treat for chronic pain, trauma, and conditions that mainstream medicine is failing them on. This conversation gets into the science, the gaps, and why understanding how psychedelics work with your womb might just change everything.

    Episode 81: You are the Garden

    My guest Jenn had one profound ceremony with a Mazatec shaman in 2019 that changed her life in ways she couldn't explain. She healed her anxiety, her pain, and her self-destructive patterns. What happened after that lead Jenn to find her calling and completely changed her life. This is the story of trusting an inexplicable call, of medicine remembering you, and of stepping into a role you never thought was yours to hold. It's also a deep dive into energetic hygiene, the practice that changes everything once you understand it. Sometimes the medicine doesn't just heal you. It asks you to become the healer.

    Episode 80: MVP: The Comeback Tour

    You've been divorced for a year. Or maybe single for five. You're accomplished, interesting, but you're sitting on the sidelines paralyzed by anxiety, confused about how to re-enter the dating world, and too proud to admit that you have no idea what you're really doing. Good news. This is a conversation between four powerhouse female coaches: Bijou (mindset reprogram), Kat (identity), Natasha (nervous system capacity), and Jax (style, personal brand). We have have combined our forces to create something men desperately need: a safe container where they can actually talk about what's going on, get real tools, and remember who they are. The problem? Men are getting mixed messages. Women want them to be vulnerable, but then judge them for it. Society demands they "do better," but offers zero guidance on how. Meanwhile, they're sitting at home wondering if they're broken, confused, or just unlucky. The solution? A team of women who actually love men. Who see their potential. Who recognize that when men heal, when they get grounded, when they figure out their identity and their nervous system, everyone wins; their future partners win, their families win, the world wins. This is a pregame to a special two-hour workshop and a deeper mastermind for men who are ready to step off the sidelines and back onto the field as the best version of themselves. You're not alone, and you're not broken. You just need the right team in your corner.

    Episode 79: The Life of a Death Walker

    Are death and mushrooms similar medicine? My fellow witch and long time bestie seems to think so, and she would know. She has been sitting at bedsides for years, holding space as people transition, witnessing their final moments, and honoring their departure from this world. Her conclusion? We're doing death all wrong. We save our kindest words for eulogies that the dead can't hear. We celebrate artists only after they're gone. We wait until someone is leaving this earth to tell them how much they mattered. She suggests a different prescription. She talks about writing your own eulogy while you're alive and revising it as you change. We explore how death isn't a tragedy to hide from, it's a ceremony to honor, just like birth, marriage, and graduation. The real medicine in this conversation? Both psychedelics and death teach you the same lesson: how to live deeper, think bigger, experience more. And the only real job you have on this planet is to figure out what your life is supposed to look like, then commit to it completely, without compromise. This episode is for anyone who's wondered if there's more to life than the script they were given. And for everyone who needs to hear: don't forget to live. Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.

    Episode 78: Sovereign Medicine

    My guest Rebekah spent years in Western medicine oncology watching two patients with identical diagnoses have wildly different outcomes. The difference? Mindset. Fear versus hope. That realization sent her down a path to reclaim what medicine actually means: knowing yourself as your own healer. Now she's calling out both sides of the industry: allopathic and holistic for selling the same thing: dependency and fear disguised as solutions. In this passion forward conversation we reveal what we believe sovereign health actually looks like: when you stop outsourcing your power and start understanding that your mind, your choices, and your community are the real medicine. No 100 step processes. No crutches. Just you, reclaimed. Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.

    Episode 77: Getting Back Into Your Body

    In this warm and revealing episode, I welcome my friend Chad Swiatecki, a journalist and writer I've known for over a decade. What makes this conversation compelling is Chad's thoughtful introduction to mushroom medicine. Unlike many psychonauts with dramatic awakenings, Chad's journey started small: microdosing while moving intentionally and slowly toward understanding what these medicines can teach him about himself. He found that getting back into your body doesn't require an apocalyptic vision, it just requires the willingness to feel more deeply, ask better questions about yourself, and listen to that quiet voice that says, "I think I should be feeling a bit more than I am." This is the conversation for people new to medicine who are unsure where to start, and for anyone who wants to understand what actually being in your body might feel like.
