Today, I’m joined by life coach, psychedelic healer, and podcast host, Melissa Elysian! Melissa and I discuss the concept of rest as resistance, the pressure to always be transforming yourself, and using pleasure as a guiding compass. We also talk about psychedelic assisted healing, and the inspiring work that she’s doing with plant medicine.

Melissa defines her quality of life, resistance, activism, and healing on her own terms. When asked what feels precious and tender to her lately, she notes that rest, nourishment and pleasure have felt like life sustaining forces. We share how we’re rejecting the model of entrepreneurship that glorifies being overworked, and instead actively embracing the slower season of life that we’re in.

Today’s episode covers how to rethink your approach to goals by living in the present. Melissa shares a story of how she energetically aligned with the connection she wanted and the universe responded by putting her partner in her path. We also talk about our intimate relationship with mortality, and the connection between grief and aliveness.

Listen in to hear more of our conversation about sacred success, manifestation, and healing.
