From beauty guru to jungle-dwelling death doula—this week’s guest has lived. Ben reconnects with his longtime friend Eleven (aka Lynette), a former YouTube star turned psychedelic guide, spiritual teacher, and self-described shapeshifter.

They dive into everything from ayahuasca trips, queer identity, and death work to what it really means to evolve, let go, and embrace change. And yes, there’s talk of puking in the jungle and shitting yourself in a white ceremonial robe. (You’ve been warned.)

Whether you're skeptical, curious, or just here for the ride—this episode is an honest, eye-opening, and often hilarious look at identity, healing, and the weird journey of being human. Plus, AJ returns for another dose of Ben There, Done That, and has a few complaints of his own.

In this episode:

• Ben opens with a rant about people not following through
• Lynette shares her journey from Christian influencer to psychedelic healer
• A wild ayahuasca experience involving exorcisms and... Taco Bell
• Honest takes on queerness, transformation, and life outside the binary
• Ben asks the big questions about death, purpose, and whether he should finally book a trip to Tulum
• A hilarious after-show segment with AJ covering toilet paper crimes and pantry offenses
