In perhaps my most raw episode yet, I share the recent experience of my second work with Iboga at ⁠ETÉREO: Center for Truth⁠ in Baja, Mexico. As I recounted this journey, I shed many unexpected tears while reflecting on the resistance I faced, the shadows I had to confront, and the enormous clarity that emerged through this recent work with the Iboga medicine. With stern realness and my signature vulnerability, I discuss how Iboga worked on me as a sharp, clear mirror, showing me a part of myself I had long suppressed.

Guided by Paije A. West and her team, I was able to unearth and start bringing love and acceptance to the deep well of shame I had been working very diligently to keep hidden beneath the surface. This episode highlights the significance of preparation, the courage required to face the darkest aspects of ourselves, and the gifts that await when we’re willing to see ourselves clearly with Truth. This episode is a reflection on the beauty and intensity of the healing process, a declaration of love to Iboga, and an exploration of the journey towards radical self-acceptance.
