Emotionally Uncomfortable

1203: Psilocybin, Plant Medicine, Psychedelics: A Journey Into Surrender & Emotional Freedom with Eddy Tony


Listen Later

What if the freedom you’re craving isn’t on the other side of doing more—but of letting go in a way you never have before?

In this deeply personal episode, Heather sits down with ceremonial guide and psychedelic facilitator Eddy Tony, the man who held space for her own ceremonies.

Heather opens up about why she was initially resistant to psychedelic work, how it found her anyway, and what it revealed that traditional personal development practices never could.

Eddy shares his own emotional “dark night of the soul” and how it led him from party culture and burnout to becoming a sought-after guide for transformational healing. Together, they dive into what it actually takes to surrender, the difference between desperation and readiness, and why true leadership requires emotional discomfort.

In this episode, Heather and Eddy explore:

*How to approach psychedelic work responsibly—and how to know if it’s aligned

*Why “bad trips” are not actually bad but incredible reflective opportunities

*The energetic boundary tools Eddy uses to hold space for deep transformation

*The identity shift that happens when you stop outsourcing your healing

Healing isn’t always logical. Sometimes the most powerful growth happens when you stop managing everything—and trust the deeper work to unfold.

Eddy Tony grew up near London, Ontario, in a home influenced by both Catholicism, through his mother, and Buddhism, through his father. As the eldest of three, he developed a deep curiosity about life’s big questions but drifted from faith in his twenties.

For a decade, he owned a Thai restaurant and a gay nightclub. However, a personal health and lifestyle crisis became a turning point, leading him into the wellness industry and inspiring him to open a boutique fitness studio.

As a coach, he witnessed remarkable transformations in his clients. However, the tragic loss of his youngest brother, who fell 17 stories to his death, compelled him to reconnect with his spirituality and explore his inner world more deeply.

Eddy embarked on a 2.5-year healing sabbatical, studying Eastern Medicine and Indigenous healing practices. In 2019, he established a private home practice in Toronto, offering an urban retreat that supports individuals through mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical challenges.

His journey has been guided by passion and purpose, and he considers it a true blessing to do this work. Eddy looks forward to supporting those who seek healing and transformation.
