July 27, 202272 - Ayahuasca, Spiritual Bypassing & Sex Cults
Today we are joined by fellow shithsow Louisa Jane. Louisa grew up in a dysfunctional family and turned to drugs and alcohol at a young age. At the age of 19 - deep in addiction and living on the streets of London - she joined a sex cult guised as a spiritual community. At 22, she moved to Peru, where she has been a part of the plant medicine community. She discusses the spiritual bypassing and corruption that plagues the ayahuasca tourism industry in South America.

Four siblings share their differing perspectives of growing up with an alcoholic father and narcissistic mother and the subsequent impact on their lives as adults, and their determination break the cycle of generational trauma.

I also share the results of the Patreon siblings survey where fellow shitshows share how their childhood experience and subsequent impact on adulthood differs from their siblings.
