The RAW: Radically Authentic Wholeness Podcast Krystine Grace

A podcast devoted to discussing how to connect deeper to ourselves, cultivate emotional intelligence, support our mind-body-soul systems and realize our wholeness & authentic self-expression.

Our first guest is Ryan Snow who shares his journey navigating a traumatic event, the subsequent addiction he succumbs to thereafter and how he integrated healing & recovery through the help of psychedelics, particularly Iboga.

I asked Tamara to come on the podcast to discuss her creation and work with “The Happiness Experiment,” also known as “Three Good Things;” a practice in cultivating gratitude. Beyond that, we discuss understanding our sexuality, different levels of friendship, boundaries, emotional intelligence, learning for curiosity's sake, and so much more.

We discuss how the language we use around mental health or illness can be harmful, as well as how to understand terms that are now commonly thrown around, such as gaslighting, coping mechanisms, personal responsibility and belief patterns. We end by discussing how to approach working with psychedelics, how to understand set and setting, as well as the skills required to integrate and navigate the sensational experiences that inevitably come upon working with the plant medicines.  

Pedro is an intentional, thought-provoking leader in the truest sense of the word. Our long discussion centralizes around how to create unification throughout our western culture and move away from the destructive tribalism and extremism that we find afflicting our societies. We discuss how misbeliefs or misconceptions of the world form the way we interact within it and how we can re-navigate and shift these misperceptions to find more empathy, understanding and compassion for others who live and believe a completely different set of principles than we do. We make an effort to discuss how to navigate various potential solutions both collectively and individually through this turbulent time we find ourselves in.

My guest today is Sarah Casper, a consent education and founder of Comprehensive Consent. We discuss navigating consent through a “who, what, where, when, & how” framework to help us figure out more specifically what aspects of any action or touch we are enjoying or not enjoying. How to teach teens experientially what "no" feel like. We also discuss compatibility, accountability and just generally deep dive into all things consent! We later shift into discussing the nuances and parallels with sexual assault and racism, and the differences between calling out and calling in. We disagree on a few key points, which makes for an interesting dialogue.
