110 | The Messy Reality of Psychedelics: Harsh Truths You Need to Know for Your Healing Journey

In this episode, we dive into the unspoken and messy realities of working with psychedelics. While many conversations focus on the profound healing and life-changing potential of these substances, this episode balances that narrative with some grounded real world truths. Lana explores how psychedelics offer us not a quick fix for our suffering, but rather a fulfilling lifelong journey of self-discovery and transformation that requires dedication and deep personal work. It’s a path that demands preparation, integration, and a willingness to confront difficult emotions and uncomfortable truths about oneself.

Throughout the episode, Lana emphasizes that psychedelics will often show you what you don’t want to see, and that healing is not always pleasant or straightforward. From the importance of integration to the understanding that sometimes psychedelics can make things worse before they get better, this discussion serves as a reality check for those considering psychedelics as part of their healing journey. If you're ready to hear the unsexy, raw side of psychedelics, this episode offers insights from Lana’s years of experience and from others on the path.
