Ketamine Connections

Episode 45 | From Medicated and Misunderstood to Healing with Ketamine: Victoria Webster of Golden Afternoon


Listen Later

In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Victoria Webster, founder of Golden Afternoon, a stunning ketamine clinic in Los Angeles—and someone with one of the most powerful personal journeys I’ve ever heard.

From being a 19-year-old in inpatient rehab prescribed a cocktail of eight medications (including anti-psychotics)… to walking away from it all and finding her way through amino acids, meditation, and eventually ketamine—Victoria shares her story with unflinching honesty and compassion.

💡 This episode is especially for you if:

  • You're curious what ketamine feels like
  • You’ve ever felt like psychiatric meds didn’t work for you
  • You’ve been afraid to try ketamine because of past bad trips or fear of losing control
  • You want to understand how to prepare for ketamine in a way that makes your nervous system feel safe

We also talk about:

  • What the “guardian of the mind” is and why it matters in ketamine work
  • How ketamine can actually help people get off meds safely (with prescriber support)
  • The subtle but massive impact of setting, music, and emotional safety
  • Her exact journey from skepticism to opening her own clinic
  • And the pink molecule experience that changed her forever 💗

🌿 Victoria is a mother of three, a former sitcom writer, and a somatic therapist who now runs a clinic where people come not just to feel better—but to feel transformed. And her insights? Truly medicine.
