29. Trust the Trip: A Real Guide to Psychedelic Integration

In this episode, host April Pride unpacks the often-misunderstood process of psychedelic integration through a rich dialogue between music, mindset, and medicine. You’ll meet composer Andy Reichel and creative entrepreneur Colton Winger as they explore how soundscapes and intention-setting shape a psilocybin journey. With support from psychedelic facilitator Natasha Lannerd, Colton opens up about fear, control, and childhood trauma—and what it really means to surrender. This episode invites listeners to examine their own relationship to safety, transformation, and the rituals we create for healing. Expect immersive storytelling, sound psychology, and soulful honesty on what it means to trust yourself in altered states.
