    EPISODE 014 I Psychedelics & Real Transformation | Matt Zemon on Risks, Healing & Consciousness

    Court Potter sits down with Matt Zemon to dive deep into the world of psychedelics (also known as entheogens). Key insights from the conversation: "There is no such thing as safe — only risk reduction." Understanding the risks and making informed choices is essential. Psychedelics aren't cures — they're catalysts for breaking repetitive thought patterns and reconnecting with who we truly are. These altered states can help us see abundance, support, and even find happiness in the here and now. Working on ourselves is also a service to others — and these medicines can open that door. If you've ever been curious about psychedelics, their risks, their potential, and their role in healing and growth, this episode is packed with wisdom you won't want to miss. Matt Zemon, MSc, is an Educator, Author, and Leader in Psychedelic Wellness, specializes in the impact of psychedelics on mental health. Author of the best-selling Psychedelics for Everyone: A Beginner's Guide to These Powerful Medicines for Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, PTSD, and Expanding Consciousness, Beyond the Trip, and the newly released, The Veteran's Guide to Psychedelics. Matt holds a Master's degree in psychology and neuroscience from King's College London and combines academic insights with a passion for safe and sacred psychedelic use.

    EPISODE 013 I From Crisis to Growth: The Power of Resilience and Community with Dwight Bain

    In this episode of the Peakality Podcast, Courtney Potter sits down with Dwight Bain to explore the power of resilience and post-traumatic growth.   Drawing from real-world examples like the Pulse and Parkland tragedies, Dwight explains why not everyone needs counseling after a crisis—but everyone does need community. You'll discover how resilience isn't about avoiding pain, but about learning, stretching, and growing through it.   Dwight also shares how shifting perspectives—like seeing ADHD as creativity instead of a limitation—can unlock potential and help people move from labels to truly living their lives.   This conversation is a powerful reminder that what doesn't kill us can make us stronger, and that the path forward is built step by step, alongside others. If you've ever faced adversity, or if you want to learn how to better support those who have, this episode will inspire you with tools, hope, and perspective on thriving through crisis.
