What happens after the psychedelic journey? How do we honor the wisdom, clarity, or lessons that arise — especially when they come through profound pain?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with integrative psychotherapist, artist, and author Deborah Kadagian to explore the often overlooked — but essential — process of integration.

Deborah shares her deeply personal story of losing her son, Sean, to a tragic fentanyl overdose — a loss that came as a complete shock and did not reflect his lifestyle. In the aftermath of unimaginable grief, Deborah turned to creativity, community, and psychedelics — including psilocybin, ayahuasca, and iboga — to begin transmuting her pain into something meaningful.

Together, we explore:

• Why integration is everything in psychedelic work

• How community and creativity become lifelines in grief

• The importance of making space to express the gifts you receive during a psychedelic journey

• The reality that grief is not something to "fix" — but something to move with

• The promise of plant medicines like iboga in healing opioid addiction

This conversation is for anyone navigating loss, exploring psychedelics, or simply wondering how to carry what they've learned in altered states back into their everyday life. Grief, like psychedelics, opens us — and what we do with that opening is where the real work begins.

Welcome to a new segment of Maggie on Mushrooms! I’m excited to bring you these shorter, focused episodes where we dive into powerful concepts designed to help you on your healing and transformation journey. This segment is all about sharing practical insights and tools that you can immediately apply to your life.

In this video, I dive into a powerful concept that can change your life—The Critical Learning Period. It’s that special window of time when your mind and body are incredibly open to transformation, ready to create new connections, habits, and perspectives. This heightened state of learning is often associated with psychedelics like psilocybin, but it can also be accessed through meditation, breathwork, creative flow states, emotional breakthroughs, and even deep somatic therapy.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have been studying how psilocybin can enhance neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize and create new neural pathways. Their studies show that when psychedelics are used with intention and integration, the brain’s capacity for change and healing is amplified. But here’s the catch: The magic isn’t just in the breakthrough itself; it’s in the integration. It's about turning insight into true embodiment, creating lasting change, and transforming how you show up in the world.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• What the Critical Learning Period is and how it works.

• Powerful ways to activate this window of transformation (psychedelics, meditation, breathwork, creativity, and more).

• Why integration is EVERYTHING and how to do it effectively.

• How I can help you tap into your Critical Learning Period to create real, sustainable change.

If this speaks to you, trust that feeling. Book an alignment call with me here: https://www.mindsonmushrooms.com/calendly-1

Let’s work together to make your transformation a lasting reality.

In this episode of Minds on Mushrooms, I sit down with Robert Hildreth, a passionate advocate for teaching seniors the skill of microdosing. With years of experience in psychedelic medicine—including ayahuasca, psilocybin, and wachuma ceremonies—Robert brings hard-earned wisdom from his own trials and tribulations with these powerful substances.

His journey hasn’t been without challenges. After an unnerving LSD experience where set, setting, and personal circumstances led to an overwhelming and disorienting trip, Robert questioned whether he would ever take psychedelics again.

It wasn’t until 2017 that he reapproached psilocybin and LSD with a new perspective, gaining a deeper understanding of preparation, integration, and responsible use. Now, he’s committed to sharing his lessons, helping seniors safely explore microdosing as a tool for clarity, healing, and personal growth.

We recorded this conversation fresh off an immersive experience at the Psychedelic Coaching Institute Intensive in Costa Rica—one of the most transformative journeys of our lives. Together, we reflect on what we learned, how psychedelics continue to shape our personal evolution, and why microdosing can be a powerful bridge to well-being at any stage of life.

In this episode, I sit down with Navid Amini, the visionary behind Zen Room Kava Lounge—the first kava lounge in Minnesota. Navid made a bold and unexpected leap, walking away from his career as a medical coroner(!) and his deep work in an AI-driven, healthcare startup to create a space for healing, storytelling, and community. At Zen Room, guests gather in an energy-filled sanctuary to share meaningful conversations over a warm, soothing cup of kava—a plant medicine known for its stress-relieving, anxiety-reducing, and socially connective properties. Navid opens up about how psilocybin and ayahuasca helped him see beyond the corporate world and into his true purpose: building something that serves people on a deeper level. This is a conversation about transformation, listening to your intuition, and taking the leap toward a more fulfilling life.
