In this powerful episode, we sit down with Juliana Mulligan, an internationally renowned advocate for Ibogaine treatment and harm reduction psychotherapy. Juliana shares her personal experience with Ibogaine to overcome opiate dependency, including the near-death episode that ultimately solidified her purpose to advocate for this life-saving treatment, despite its risks.

Juliana opens up about the complexities of Ibogaine therapy, the challenges within the addiction treatment world, and her mission to improve safety standards for the practice. We also dive into the societal impacts of addiction, the shortcomings of traditional models, and Juliana’s vision for the future of addiction treatment.

In this solo episode, Lana dives into the often-overlooked phase of pre-work that occurs before a psychedelic ceremony or experience. Drawing on her own experiences as she prepares for her upcoming Iboga retreat, Lana explores how life often begins to feel chaotic and overwhelming as deep-seated emotions, traumas, and blockages rise to the surface in anticipation of the journey.

The theory being proposed here is that the pre-work phase is the medicine’s way of already working with you, helping you clear the path and integrate deeper healing before you even sit down for ceremony. Lana shares personal insights, offers tips for navigating this challenging yet transformative phase, and provides guidance for those experiencing similar discomfort.

Topics Covered:

- The pre-work phase: what happens before the ceremony and why it’s crucial

- Navigating chaos: how life can feel like it's falling apart before a big ceremony

- Overcoming fears, traumas, and emotional blockages through pre-work

- The importance of awareness during pre-work and trusting the process

- Emotional triggers and how to process them during this phase

- Practical tips for dealing with pre-work: engaging in grounding practices, therapy, and self-reflection

- How dreams, increased sensitivity, and heightened awareness can be signs of pre-work

- The benefits of enlisting support during the pre-work phase

- How to track your emotional and energetic shifts leading up to ceremony

"As we overcome our fears in medicine work, we also overcome our fears in life."

Welcome to SEASON 5! In this solo episode, we welcome the new year and explore the “medicine around the medicine”—those unexpected gifts that arise from working with psychedelics. Rather than focusing on the direct, intentional outcomes we seek through ceremonies, this conversation dives into the unintentional benefits that often unfold on the periphery. From discovering deeper devotion in our day-to-day lives, to enhancing our diets and fortifying relationships, these surprising transformations act as the welcomed “cherry on top” of our psychedelic journeys.

Lana shares personal insights about integrating medicines like ayahuasca, psilocybin, and iboga, highlighting how these experiences can spark inner trust and strengthen one’s connection to nature and spirituality. Listeners will also hear reflections on the value of patience, the courage required to confront fear, and how a long-term view of transformation can foster true metamorphosis. Whether you’re new to psychedelics or a seasoned explorer, this episode offers an inspiring reminder of how plant medicines can weave their wisdom into every aspect of life—often in ways we never expected.

In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of a Dopamine Detox, inspired by the book Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anne Lemke. I share what dopamine is, how overstimulation throws off our brain’s balance of pain and pleasure, and why I’m personally committing to stepping back from cannabis and shopping for the month of January. This episode isn’t just personal—it’s a call to reflect on your own habits, regain control, and start 2025 with clarity, intention, and purpose. Plus, I invite you to join the Dopamine Detox Challenge I’m hosting in January!

Many of us experience ego death through psychedelics, but what happens when someone actually dies and returns to share their insights? Kyle Buller, co-founder of Psychedelics Today, had his life transformed at 16 after a traumatic snowboarding accident left him with a profound near-death experience (NDE). In this episode, Kyle shares his journey from navigating his NDE to exploring altered states of consciousness through psychedelics, transpersonal psychology, and Holotropic Breathwork.

Kyle and Lana discuss how these extraordinary states can catalyze personal transformation, the critical importance of integration, and why taking time to slow down is essential for practitioners and explorers alike. In the meat of this conversation, they also explore the concept of spiritual emergence, a phenomenon where transformative experiences can lead to personal crises or growth, and how to navigate the fine line between awakening and overwhelm. Together, they examine the responsibility of psychedelic work and the need for cultural frameworks to support those undergoing these profound shifts.

Topics Covered:

• Gaps in the psychedelic education space
• Supporting individuals through different phases of psychedelic work
• Why bother having an expanded state of consciousness
• How to make the most out of challenging psychedelic experiences
• Pumping the breaks on transformational work and grounding into the everyday
• How Kyles NDE at age 16 changes his perspective on life and death
• Spiritual emergence and emergency: when mystical experiences create crisis
• Common symptoms, challenges and experiences during a spiritual emergence
• Ego Inflation as Spiritual Emergency
• Advocates of psychedelics need to be honest about the challenges
• Kyle’s deeply destabilizing experience with LSD (depersonalization & derealization)
