#13 Defining the soul, the psyche and psychedelics
In this week's episode my executive producer, Quinika Davis, is back in the studio to explore psychedelics, our humanity, the mind and existence. What is the soul? What is the shadow? Who are we really? How does it all fit together?
What started out as an episode intended to focus on psychedelics alone, evolved into an at times, tense discussion exploring our contradictory viewpoints on spirituality.
We review the promises and pitfalls of psychedelic assisted therapy, drawing from personal psychedelic experiences and research based evidence. The distinction between a “bad trip” and a “good trip” is explained, with both phrases recontextualized to challenge the common misconceptions.
This is a deeply philosophical episode. Let’s dive in.

#12 Thriving with bi-polar, naturally
In today's episode, Mental Health Coach Megan Pasierbek shares her journey navigating a bipolar type 2 diagnosis in her 20s that left her feeling hopeless and overwhelmed with a lack of support from a corrupt healthcare system.
Megan provides a beacon of hope for individuals who feel they deserve more than a life-long prescription, encouraging the exploration of alternate, holistic approaches to not only manage mental health, but thrive regardless of a diagnosis.
Through her own trial and error, she discovered the secret to a deeply fulfilling life lived with bipolar is found through honouring genuine friendship and human connection, understanding the direct correlation between gut health and brain health, the neurological benefits of exercise, proper nutrition, breathwork, and the benefits of plant medicines.
This episode holds raw, uplifting conversations surrounding mental health, and brings to light radical treatments challenging the status quo.
