  • 129 | Iboga Initiation Reflections: Missoko to Fang Bwiti w/ Paije Alexandra West

    What is it like to spend a week in the deep jungle of Westen Africa, with nothing but a dirt floor, lots of Iboga, a skirt, and no necessities like water or a bed to rest in? In this intimate conversation, I welcome back my Iboga provider, and twice-initiated Bwiti practitioner Paije Alexandra West. With intention and care, Paije shares about her recent initiation into the Fang branch of the Bwiti tradition in Gabon. This is ultimately a conversation about what it means to walk the path of service with Iboga.

    Paije shares carefully about her journey from working in ibogaine clinics to becoming a ceremonial iboga provider, and how initiation has shaped her life, her family, and her work with her retreat center, ⁠ETÈREO⁠ in Baja. She opens up about the realities of being a provider—the intensity, responsibility, and beauty of holding this medicine—and offers fresh insight into the role of women’s voices in the iboga space.

  • 128 | Stop Healing, Start Integrating: The One Shift That Changes Everything

    In this solo episode, we’re discussing a core insight from my own medicine path: the crucial energetic difference between healing and integration.

    After years of ceremonies, coaching, and personal exploration, I realized that the constant search for healing was actually keeping me stuck in an identity of being “broken.” It wasn’t until very recently that I fully understood that wholeness doesn’t come from fixing, but from integrating who you already are.

    This episode is an invitation to shift from a “healing orientation” rooted in victimhood and fixing, into an “integration orientation” rooted in authenticity, creativity, and self-acceptance.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • The trap of the “healing identity” and how it can keep us stuck
    • My personal journey from Ayahuasca, to 5-MeO-DMT, to Iboga
    • Why integration is about seeing, not seeking
    • The difference between a healing orientation vs. an integration orientation 
    • Self-acceptance as the foundation of wholeness
    • How reclaiming forgotten parts of ourselves—like play, creativity, and joy—is part of integration
    • Practical reflections for recognizing when you’re fixing vs. truly integrating

  • 127 | Fear vs Danger in Psychedelic Medicine Work

    In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into a crucial topic that doesn’t get talked about enough: how to differentiate between fear and danger when working with psychedelics.

    This episode was inspired by my coach training at iPEC and the powerful concept of Fearlessness—the idea that fear is a projection of the mind, not a present-moment truth.

    Understanding the difference between fear and danger can literally be the difference between a transformative psychedelic experience and a traumatizing one. And the line between the two is not always clear—especially when psychological or energetic safety is involved.


    Topics Covered:

    • Why fear is natural (and even healthy) when approaching psychedelic work
    • How danger shows up in the psychedelic space—from unsafe facilitators to inadequate screening
    • Clear examples of fear vs. danger in ceremony settings
    • Why mistaking one for the other could cost you transformation—or your safety
    • How prep coaching can help you work with fear and protect yourself from danger

Karis shares how coaching helped her navigate life’s transitions—from a major career shift to moving homes and embracing a more authentic way of living.

  • 122 | Iboga Round Two: Facing My Darkest Shadow & Getting to the Root at ETÉREO

    In perhaps my most raw episode yet, I share the recent experience of my second work with Iboga at ⁠ETÉREO: Center for Truth⁠ in Baja, Mexico. As I recounted this journey, I shed many unexpected tears while reflecting on the resistance I faced, the shadows I had to confront, and the enormous clarity that emerged through this recent work with the Iboga medicine. With stern realness and my signature vulnerability, I discuss how Iboga worked on me as a sharp, clear mirror, showing me a part of myself I had long suppressed.

    Guided by Paije A. West and her team, I was able to unearth and start bringing love and acceptance to the deep well of shame I had been working very diligently to keep hidden beneath the surface. This episode highlights the significance of preparation, the courage required to face the darkest aspects of ourselves, and the gifts that await when we’re willing to see ourselves clearly with Truth. This episode is a reflection on the beauty and intensity of the healing process, a declaration of love to Iboga, and an exploration of the journey towards radical self-acceptance.
