Seven years ago, psychedelics cracked Anna’s world wide open. In this deeply personal anniversary episode, she reflects on what’s unfolded since that first ceremony—quitting every addiction at once, rebuilding her identity from the ground up, and learning what true transformation really means.

This episode isn’t about that experience (you can hear that story in Episode 15: I Didn’t Expect This After My First Psychedelic Ceremony—Here’s What Happened). Instead, it’s about everything that came after: the humbling, nonlinear, spiral staircase of healing that led to lasting change.

Anna shares the lessons that seven years of integration have taught her about pacing, forgiveness, emotional healing, and how no ceremony (no matter how powerful) can replace the slow, sacred work of becoming who you’re meant to be.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn a psychedelic breakthrough into a lifelong transformation, this one’s for you.
