Host Jimmy Nguyen and is joined by special guest Steven Huang of the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), as they delve into the importance of sharing one's psychedelic experiences. 

Steven and Jimmy explore the parallels between coming out narratives in the LGBTQ+ community and sharing psychedelic experiences. Steven’s personal journey, highlighted by his experiences as a queer Chinese American, adds a poignant layer to the discussion.

Jimmy and Steven's dynamic exchange provides a roadmap for listeners contemplating sharing their own psychedelic stories, emphasizing the role of privilege, accessibility, and ethical responsibility, while stressing the importance of sensitivity, consent, and considering the audience and purpose behind sharing, whether it's for personal catharsis, connection, or advocacy. 

They discuss the challenges of navigating conversations in different settings, from intimate one-on-one discussions to casual social interactions or even professional environments like the workplace. 

They also touch on the delicate balance between authenticity and performance, cautioning against oversimplifying or sensationalizing experiences for the sake of storytelling. Throughout the episode, they encourage listeners to reflect on their motivations, intentions, and the broader societal context when sharing psychedelic narratives.
