My Psychedelic Story: Joey


Listen Later

What does it mean to lead with radical faith in the face of devastation?


In this moving episode, Joey shares the unfiltered truth of parenting through the unimaginable: their child Jameson’s diagnosis with a rare and aggressive brain cancer. More than a story of medical trauma, this is a conversation about energy, embodiment, and the healing power of music, movement, and soul-aligned community.


You’ll hear how Joey’s personal transformation through crisis reveals a blueprint for nervous system resilience, emotional integrity, and spiritual integration, far beyond what traditional medicine could ever offer.


What You’ll Learn:

  • How navigating a child's cancer journey redefines personal values, identity, and purpose

  • Why somatic expression (dance, music, joy) can be a lifeline for children undergoing treatment

  • What it's like to integrate spiritual awakening while living in a medical system that prioritizes protocol over intuition

  • The emotional and financial toll of caregiving, and how community healing becomes essential

  • How to hold both grief and gratitude simultaneously, without spiritually bypassing either

Episode Highlights:

  • 00:00 – Why grief doesn’t follow a clean timeline

  • 03:12 – How trauma lives in the body long after the trigger

  • 06:37 – The difference between “processing” and “repatterning”

  • 09:24 – Why agency is essential to healing

  • 12:31 – From invisible pain to embodied wholeness


Meet the Guest:

Joey is a devoted single parent, spiritual practitioner, and member of the SoulQuest integration community. Their story is not just about surviving a child’s cancer diagnosis, it’s about reimagining what embodied healing, resilience, and soul alignment can look like in the modern world.


Tools, Frameworks, and Modalities Mentioned:

  • Energy frequency and source connection

  • Spiritual integration post-trauma

  • Dance and somatic healing for children

  • Navigating medical side effects vs. soul-aligned recovery

Closing Insight:

“This is just a temporary experience. But love, the frequency of love, is what gets us through.”

Whether you're a caregiver, healer, or someone navigating the unknown, this episode will meet you where you are, and remind you that wholeness is never out of reach.
