We’re on a road, the road is the journey, the journey is life. Today's episode is another Story Of Song, where we do a deep dive into the lyrics of a song, this one being Everything Is Not What It Appears. I loved recording this, and am sure that if you feel called to listen you will find whatever you need in this moment.

I laughed a lot, and cried a little, with today's guest Kate McGill (Thanks so much to past-guest Kina Grannis for connecting us). Kate is a sincere and delightful badass of musical magnificence and podcast inspiration via her songwriting skills and her We Dive Deeper podcast! We ramble through many topics, from our struggles to eat well to how Kate has grieved and processed her mother's recent death. As I say in the intro, while editing this podcast I realised that I laughed a lot during this one, and that is one of Kate's gifts for sure, to bring joy, whether in the shadows or the light.

This is for sure an adult-only episode, as my guest is the delightful porn starlet Lily Labeau! Watch the exclusive video version of this https://www.patreon.com/posts/31610188 (on Patreon)!

We cover sooooo many topics, from spirituality to BDSM to dating as a porn star to becoming a birthing doula...and OH SO MUCH more (links at https://nakedwithnate.com/lily (the show notes))!

Lily gives us an introduction to BDSM and fun ways to get started

Talking about how being healthy is sexy

I thought that I'd feel amazing after having a mystical experience during a plant medicine ceremony...and yet I woke up the next day feeling so heavy, so human. This is the story of how I wrote the song Every Leaf while struggling to integrate a powerful plant medicine experience.

Many of you who know me have been witness to my huge challenges with depression over the last few years, to the point that I was often unable to get out of bed. Over the last 5 months, I have been experiencing a huge shift, due in large part to my use of therapeutically-supported psilocybin, both in large assisted 'hero' doses and more regular microdosing.

This episode tells my story, sharing the tools I've been using, in the hope that it inspires you to find your way through whatever challenges you might be facing.

Leonie was so kind to come on this episode and provide the 'science-backed' voice to my anecdotal experiences. She courageously shares her own journey with this medicine and has a wealth of knowledge in her writing and Psychonauts podcast (all linked in show notes)

I invite you to listen with open heart and mind and share with whoever would find value here.
