In this episode, I am focusing on Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, two of the most potent substances known to humankind. This episode is to serve as a guide for people who are unsure of which heavy hitting psychedelic to work with. My theory is that while these two medicines are complete polar opposites, together, they offer a whole and complete picture of what this human existence is all about. Both help us answer important questions from different angles.

I provide an in-depth comparison of Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT, discussing:

• what the medicine is
• origin
• ethical considerations
• use cases
• the experience
• duration
• energy of the medicine
• preparation process
• integration considerations
• physical effects
• who it's best suited for
• how to know if you're ready for each one.

In this milestone episode of Modern Psychedelics, we celebrate reaching 100 episodes over the past three and a half years! Join me as I reflect on this incredible journey of growth and transformation, both as a podcaster and through my personal experiences with psychedelic healing. From microdosing to Ayahuasca, Iboga to 5-MeO-DMT, each step has been a testament to the power of playing the long game, trusting the process, and staying committed to the path.

I am putting on my coaching hat and sharing six pro-tips on how to stay focused on the process rather than the outcomes, in both life and your psychedelic journey. Whether you're building a business, nurturing a relationship, or seeking personal growth and healing, these mindset shits will help you to embrace the slow, steady progress and find joy in the journey. Tune in to discover how to cultivate patience, mindfulness, and resilience, and learn why trusting the process can lead to richer, more meaningful results.

Topics Covered:

• The “long game” I’ve been playing over the years with my healing and the podcast
• What it means to “play the long game” and why it’s favorable
• Focusing on the path of mastery rather than specific outcomes
• Staying disciplined  and focused despite setbacks and challenges
• Space and pace to pivot and adjust course
• Overcoming the desire to rush through the process
• Actually achieving balance in your lifetime
• Wait, what is the “process” that we’re “trusting”?

We’re diving into a topic that hasn’t been publicly explored in the psychedelic space yet: the innovative intersection of psychedelic facilitation and the doula model of care. Paije Alexandra West is bringing this forward for us today as an international retreat host, experienced psychedelic facilitator, and trained doula. Paije shares her thoughts on how the principles of doula care can be seamlessly integrated into psychedelic work to create compassionate, supportive, and transformative experiences.

Paije educates us on the guiding principles of the doula model, emphasizing the importance of advocacy, mindful presence, and compassionate support in psychedelic facilitation. She discusses the advantages this model offers to Western medicine providers, particularly around how this approach allows Westerners to serve (some) psychedelic medicines without appropriating cultures that don’t belong to us. Paije also shares her personal journey, balancing her roles as a mother and a facilitator, and offers invaluable advice for those considering a path in psychedelic facilitation. Join us as we uncover the potential of the doula model to revolutionize the way we approach psychedelic healing and support.

Topics Covered:

• The unexpected synergy between Iboga and 5-MeO-DMT
• The intersection between psychedelics and doula care
• The guiding principles of the doula model of care
• The Doula Model of Care as an approach to working with psychedelics
• The advantages of using a doula model for Western medicine providers
• Navigating consensual touch during psychedelic experiences
• What the path to becoming a doula looks like
• What it takes to hold a neutral space for others
• Balancing psychedelic facilitation with motherhood
