    Episode 13 - All Of This Coping Was Killing Me, Now All Of This Healing Is Killing Me With Dr Gabrielle Pelicci

    This episode features Dr Gabrielle Pelicci, Ph.D. She even says herself in the podcast that it's one of the things she does, not who she is! She is so much more than that, as are you. In the podcast, she describes defining moments in her life that contribute to the layers of who she is today, including her childhood, a mystical experience when her mother passed away when she was 21, the importance of relating in order to heal & psychedelics. In particular, the subject of healing, as her book 'All Of this Healing Is Killing Me' had me reading it literally, whereas she has a unique perspective on what it meant to her. I personally put that title alongside Bessel Van Der Kolk, MD's ' The Body Keeps The Score' for best titles I've ever read. Near to heart, the role women have played in our history as healers, how that was largely dismissed through the telling of stories through history, and how her dissertation seeked to inform and reilluminate spotlight onto this necessary part of who we are as a civilization stood out in both the podcast and her book. Please enjoy the podcast and feel free to reach out to Gabrielle or myself if need be! About Gabrielle: Gabrielle Pelicci, Ph.D. “Dr. Gabby” is Head of Provider Relations at Third Wave, a trusted, research-based psychedelics education and community platform.  Dr. Gabby completed her doctoral work in Transformative Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies with a dissertation on women healers -- and studied plant medicine with indigenous healers in New Mexico and Guatemala. She has been a University Professor of Integrative and Holistic Medicine since 2007. Her first book, All This Healing is Killing Me, is available on Amazon.

    Episode 12 - The Illusions Of Life Solocast

    This podcast is a story. One of a close friend of mine and many of you going through a challenging life experience for which a few of us went to support him. There, in addition to the many things that arose, connection, appreciation, support, brotherhood, patience, pause were all important. What also became evident were at least 10 illusions that arose that I see in the ER, and in life, too, that everyone upholds more or less, until moments arise where the illusion dissolves. Top 10 biggest illusions.  1. Tomorrow 2. Next breath 3. Health 4. Loved ones will be there 5. Functional faculties 6. Immortal 7. Eternal Time 8. Certainty 9. Who you think you are 10.

    Episode 10 - Gents Union in Bala

    This is a unique podcast, in that I had organized a men's gathering at my cottage after having hoped to connect with these high integrity men for over 3 years. We finally made it happen. 10 of us congregated and jumped on the podcast to discuss randomly chosen topics. It veered into a discussion on traumas, the women in our lives, profound life lessons, medical realities, near death, love & what's on the horizon for masculinity, but most importantly, it highlighted the importance of spaces that men regularly can connect to alleviate the burdens they may carry. Thank You to the following men who made this conversation possible Larry Doremus https://www.instagram.com/nanoghost/?hl=en Chris Hager https://www.instagram.com/casadehager/?hl=en Eric Morris https://www.instagram.com/eatlocalfish/?hl=en Ryan Burkholder https://www.instagram.com/burkholdergeneral/?hl=en Ryan Mullens https://www.instagram.com/mullensryan/?hl=en David Cedar https://www.instagram.com/davidcedar/?hl=en Seve Mangrum https://www.instagram.com/sevemangrum/?hl=en Joe Bubel https://www.instagram.com/josephbubel/?hl=en Kyle Dow https://www.instagram.com/kyle_dow/?hl=en
