September 10, 2025Sacred Solitude
Episode 133 - Sacred Solitude
There's a massive difference between conscious solitude that heals you and reactive solitude that keeps you stuck. Most of us have never learned to tell the difference.
In this raw episode, Sebastian breaks down the moment he realized he was using "spiritual" solitude as an escape mechanism - driving around San Diego at 2AM after a heated argument, thinking he was protecting his energy when really he was just a triggered man-child having a tantrum.

What you'll discover:
The two types of solitude and how to feel the difference in your nervous system
Why your childhood programming around being alone is running your adult relationships
The difference between codependent love (needing someone to complete you) vs interdependent love (choosing to celebrate together)
How to transform reactive patterns into conscious choices using the 3 levels of awareness
Why most people skip the crucial independence phase and jump straight from family dependence to romantic dependence

Sebastian gets vulnerable about:
Being a 7-year-old latchkey kid watching 12-hour cartoon marathons
Using spiritual superiority to avoid family triggers
A mushroom ceremony that revealed his cannabis "healing" was actually numbing
Learning to communicate boundaries without reactive word-vomiting

This isn't surface-level self-help. This is automaestría - the sacred work of learning to be alone without being lonely, and to be with others without losing yourself.
Perfect for anyone who's ever wondered if they're choosing solitude from love or fear, or if they're ready to break generational patterns around relationships and emotional sovereignty.

Warning: This episode will make you question whether your "need for space" is conscious choice or unconscious programming. Buckle up.

August 21, 2025Stop Seeking, Start Doing
**Visit our Website
Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 130: Stop Seeking, Start Doing**
Recording from the Amazon River after my latest Peru ceremonies, I'm sharing a lesson that completely changed how I approach personal growth.
I went to Peru expecting cosmic downloads and profound visions. Instead, I got a simple but brutal message: "Why are you here if you didn't complete what we told you last time?"
Ouch. But it was exactly what I needed to hear.
This episode is about breaking the cycle of endless information-seeking when we already know what we need to do. We've become addicted to learning new things because it feels like progress without requiring us to actually change anything.
You know you need to have that difficult conversation, but you're reading more relationship books. You know you need to start that business, but you're taking another course. You know you need to set boundaries, but you're listening to more podcasts about it.
Sound familiar?
I'm sharing the full story of what happened during my ceremonies, including why my body rejected the medicine at first and how I immediately put this lesson into action using the Coach Ignite AI app I've been building.
Plus, I break down the game-changing difference between lead measures (actions you control) and lag measures (results you want) - and why focusing on the wrong one keeps you feeling powerless.
The truth? Your intuition already knows what you need to do. The question is whether you're ready to trust it and take action.
Stop collecting tools you never use. Stop gathering wisdom you never embody. Your transformation is waiting on the other side of implementation.

Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 129 You're Not Crazy, You're Connected
In this personal episode, Sebastian talks about his 8-year journey with ayahuasca and plant medicine teachers in the Amazon jungle. Eight years ago, when doctors wanted to give him antidepressants for feeling sad and anxious, Sebastian chose a different path that changed his life.
This episode talks about what happens when teachers become like fathers, how to keep sacred knowledge alive when your teachers pass away, and what it costs to help heal others. Sebastian shares stories about his teachers Maestro Eladio and Maestro Eleazar, including losing his Kambo teacher and seeing a new medicine teacher begin their journey.
He explains why being "too sensitive" might actually be a special gift, how our society often tries to medicate intuition instead of celebrating it, and the difference between real healing and just trying to avoid problems. The episode gives simple advice on following your inner feelings instead of what others expect, and choosing to grow even when it's hard. Sebastian also talks about CleanPlanet Day and how he helps people understand they're not crazy - they're just connected to something bigger.

July 23, 2025From Military to Medicine Man
Welcome to Ignite the Spark Within Podcast!This is Season 3, Episode 126: From Military to Medicine Man
Medicine Man Scottie is a West Point graduate and retired military officer who traded his uniform for a deeper calling as a plant medicine facilitator and indigenous wisdom keeper. After years of military service, Scottie embarked on a profound journey of healing that led him to the heart of indigenous traditions and the transformative power of plant medicines.
Recently adopted as a tribe member by the Nutabe Indians, Scottie has dedicated his life to preserving indigenous practices while creating bridges between ancient wisdom and modern healing. He just opened his maloka in San Rafael, California, where he's building a self-sustaining off-grid community focused on authentic healing and indigenous rights preservation.
Scottie is the founder of the Ocóyái Free Medicine Music School, which has welcomed over 8,000 students in just five months, and the author of The Road Home, a book specifically written for military veterans navigating their own healing journeys. Through his work at www.ocoyai.com, he offers yagé retreats and holistic therapy informed by indigenous practices.
His mission is simple yet profound: help people heal through whatever means suits them, while honoring the sacred traditions that hold this ancient medicine. Scottie believes in doing the hard work to discover your true calling and impact on the world — then working relentlessly to serve that vision.
In this episode, we explore the delicate balance between making a living and working with sacred medicine, the challenges of honoring indigenous wisdom in a commercialized world, and what it truly means to live as medicine.
