44. How Psychedelic Mindset Preparation Shapes Your Journey

What’s the difference between a trip that transforms—and one that just confuses? It starts with your mindset. In this episode of The High Guide, host April Pride is joined by High Guide Natasha Lannerd to unpack the essential role of psychedelic mindset preparation. From exploring growth vs. fixed mindsets to connecting with ancestors for spiritual clarity, this conversation invites you to think deeply about why you journey—and what inner work can help you feel ready. You’ll hear real reflections from three sister trippers preparing for their own psychedelic journeys, including how they set intentions and soften control. Whether you’re new to psychedelics or looking to deepen your integration practice, this episode delivers perspective-shifting tools that begin before the medicine even kicks in.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-A growth mindset improves your ability to navigate challenging psychedelic moments with curiosity and resilience.

-Intention setting is not about fixing yourself—it’s about listening to what your inner world wants to reveal.

-Preparing for a psychedelic trip is like preparing for travel: plan what you can, but leave space for the unexpected.

-Connecting with elevated ancestors can provide spiritual grounding and guidance during altered states.

-Mindset preparation can be the one part of your journey you do control—through journaling, diet, and reflection.
