Summary

In this episode I share a deeply personal reflection on how a recent therapeutic psychedelic experience helped me untangle inner conflict, release resentment, and reconnect with a clearer sense of purpose. I unpack the realization that I was pouring energy into the wrong battles and how parts work revealed a more life giving path forward focused on presence, integration, and truth rather than reactivity. This episode explores identity, belonging, trauma, and technology and invites you to stop fighting yourself, reclaim your life force, and redirect it toward a life that actually feels grounded, meaningful, and whole.
