✨ Learn Integral Alchemy: Integral Alchemy Starter Kit
In this intimate conversation Hannah sits down with Deb Truter — a staff Integral Alchemist at Recovery Jungle who’s been in the jungle for over a year and recently completed rigorous alchemy training. We pull the curtain back on what it actually takes to transform, lead, and create workplaces (and lives) that heal instead of harm.
We talk about:
- How Deb landed at Recovery Jungle and the personal growth she’s experienced doing deep somatic/emotional work.
- Why Integral Alchemy moves faster and deeper than talk therapy alone — and why the body needs to lead, not only the mind.
- Real client wins: addictions easing, chronic pain and IBS reducing, debilitating symptoms shifting — not by forcing change, but by creating safety and integration.
- The tension between masculine force and feminine flow — what it looks like to run a business and soften, to hold structure without hardening.
- Addiction reframed: it isn’t just drugs or alcohol — it’s patterns of avoidance (workaholism, overtraining, food, control) that mask unmet needs.
- Why leaders at the top doing the inner work changes culture from the top down — and how workplaces can actually nourish staff rather than burn them out.
- Honest, vulnerable moments about relationships, receiving, money, and the fear of stepping into power — and how alchemy helps dismantle those blocks.
- Why integration (action) after medicine, breathwork, or insight is the real game-changer.
This episode is equal parts human story, clinical clarity, and practical leadership thinking. Expect laughs, rawness, and real examples of what transformation looks like inside the clinic and in life.
Episode highlights (what you'll get from listening)- A clear, embodied explanation of why somatic + cognitive approaches work faster than either alone.
- Practical examples of how pain and disease can be the body’s language for unprocessed decisions and emotions.
- How to create a workplace that gives to people (not just takes): structure + soul.
- Leadership takeaways: vulnerably held leaders create safer teams, better performance, and less burnout.
- Inspiration for anyone stuck in perfection, people-pleasing, or the build/burn cycle — and ways to step forward.
Who this episode is for
- Leaders who want to change workplace culture
- People living in cycles of addiction, stress, or chronic inflammation
- Practitioners curious about somatic, trauma-informed approaches that actually produce sustainable change
Anyone wanting to move from survival-mode performance to whole-human thriving.
