In this episode, Lana interviews Kayse Gehret, a microdosing guide with over 30 years of experience in the healing arts, to explore the transformative potential of microdosing mushrooms. Kayse shares her journey into microdosing, highlighting how her work has evolved from a personal practice to founding the Microdosing for Healing community. Together, they discuss how microdosing offers subtle yet profound healing, why it's often a better starting point than macrodosing, and how group microdosing amplifies the entire experience.
Throughout the conversation, Kayse explains the wide range of reasons people turn to microdosing—spanning beyond mental health to include spiritual development, relationship enhancement, and even physical healing. The two also delve into managing expectations on a microdosing journey, the critical role of intuition and energy, and how Kayse’s deep connection with psilocybin-containing mushrooms has shaped her work. If you’re curious about the potential of microdosing and its broader applications, this episode offers rich insights into its power and practice.

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.
Topics Covered:

In this fourth episode of The Journey series, I interview a former coaching client, Kimberly, who shares her transformative journey of integrating coaching with her Plant Path. Based in New York City, Kimberly shares her connection to her intuition, her dedication to the natural world, and her efforts to build a community space for healing. Through her diet with the master plants, Noya Rao and Ayahuasca, and subsequent coaching, she explores moving from healing to transformation and the importance of intuition and energetic flow state.
Together, we discuss the nuances of energy work, the significance of integration, and the interplay between shadow work and entrepreneurial pursuits. Kimberly emphasizes the importance of rest, community, and listening to one's body in the integration process. As a student at Columbia University, she teaches others how to excavate their inner knowing while building her project, HAI House, a community space to offer integrative healing services. The episode concludes with Kimberly reflecting on her ongoing journey and the importance of living a fully integrated life.

In this episode, I am focusing on Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, two of the most potent substances known to humankind. This episode is to serve as a guide for people who are unsure of which heavy hitting psychedelic to work with. My theory is that while these two medicines are complete polar opposites, together, they offer a whole and complete picture of what this human existence is all about. Both help us answer important questions from different angles.
I provide an in-depth comparison of Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, discussing:

In this solo episode with Lana, we explore importance of taking a break from psychedelics and medicine work. While these powerful tools can facilitate profound healing and transformation, there are times when stepping back can be the medicine you need. I discuss five key signs that it might be time to pause, including having too much to integrate, chasing the highs of the experience, and noticing compulsive habits forming around psychedelic use. This episode offers valuable insights for anyone who may be questioning whether they are still benefiting from their psychedelic practices.
Additionally, I provide practical strategies for how to take a break effectively, including focusing on integration, exploring other modalities, and prioritizing other areas of life. This conversation is rooted in the importance of listening to your intuition and recognizing that everyone’s journey with psychedelics is unique.

We’re diving into a topic that hasn’t been publicly explored in the psychedelic space yet: the innovative intersection of psychedelic facilitation and the doula model of care. Paije Alexandra West is bringing this forward for us today as an international retreat host, experienced psychedelic facilitator, and trained doula. Paije shares her thoughts on how the principles of doula care can be seamlessly integrated into psychedelic work to create compassionate, supportive, and transformative experiences.
Paije educates us on the guiding principles of the doula model, emphasizing the importance of advocacy, mindful presence, and compassionate support in psychedelic facilitation. She discusses the advantages this model offers to Western medicine providers, particularly around how this approach allows Westerners to serve (some) psychedelic medicines without appropriating cultures that don’t belong to us. Paije also shares her personal journey, balancing her roles as a mother and a facilitator, and offers invaluable advice for those considering a path in psychedelic facilitation. Join us as we uncover the potential of the doula model to revolutionize the way we approach psychedelic healing and support.

Six months ago, I had my most profound and impactful psychedelic experience yet. I smoked 5-MeO-DMT, left my body, somatically released stuck energy, and experienced the infinite love of the universe. This experience set me on an integration journey that has up-levelled my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. In this episode, I'm excited to share the details of my integration journey over these past six months. While there have been many ups and downs, the overall impact on my life and energy has been immensely positive.
Throughout this episode, I’m highlighting that this very powerful medicine isn't just about the psychedelic experience itself but also about the integration process that follows. 5-MeO-DMT "set me straight" by opening me to unconditional love and regulating my nervous system. The energy in my heart is flowing freely into my work and has even empowered my relationship with money. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as I am sharing eight tangible ways my life has changed as a result of my 5-Meo-DMT experience at Enfold Institute. Enjoy!

What in the world is a psychedelics podcast doing talking about “personal style” and fashion?! This has to be the first. But discovering your personal style is identity work that requires vulnerability. It’s a deeply meaningful journey of self discovery. If you don’t see the connection now, then you will by the end of this podcast.
In this episode, I am introducing a concept around the different stages of psychedelic integration: There is the “heavy lifting” stage where we’re doing deep work to significantly improve our lives, followed by the “refinement” stage which is a lighter process of fine tuning.
For me, this refinement process is showing up in my journey to discover my personal style. The misalignment between my identity and my wardrobe has come up a few times during psychedelic journeys, and I am finally addressing it so that the outside is a true reflection of my inside. I also make the connection between the responsibility to find your personal style, living a values-based life, and sustainable consumption.
Topics Covered:
The “heavy lifting” vs “refinement” stages of psychedelic integrationThe connection between life satisfaction and values-alignmentHow refinement is showing up for me through personal styleHow personal style came up during my psychedelic experiencesWhy I stopped caring about fashion during my healing chapterWhy I started caring about fashion again after my healing chapterFast fashion overconsumption as a result of not knowing my personal styleMy core values that are aligned with knowing my personal styleMy journey to discover my personal style so farConsumption habits and making wise purchase decisionsShow Links:

Psychedelics don’t always make things better. Jesse’s psychedelic ego death experience cracked Jesse open to feel deeply, which was a new experience for her. After the love and bliss from the experience faded, she was left to process a lifetime worth of repressed pain.
Jesse went through challenges such as ego whiplash, suicidal ideation, social isolation, and depression for months after her psychedelic experience. But it's not all bad: she was able to harness this challenging time as a point of transformation. In this episode, she is sharing the depth of her experience with us, and how she managed to come out on the other side.
