Kristen and Beth dive into plant medicines that have helped them heal and grow, from magic mushrooms to Ayahuasca. Join us as we recount the fear and discomfort of our first experiences, meeting spirits, crying and shaking our way through release, and healing old, hidden wounds.

Disclaimer: Working with psychedelics has real risks, and many of the substances we discuss may not be legal where you live. Please do your own research, take care of yourself, and treat plant medicines with respect.
