In this podcast episode, Alice, a podcast host, energy worker, spiritual life coach, psychic development coach, witch, and medium, shares their remarkable journey of overcoming long-term reliance on psychiatric medications through alternative healing methods. Starting antidepressants at 13 and later adding mood stabilizers and antipsychotics, they describe spending nearly two decades heavily medicated. A sudden loss of insurance led to an unexpected cold-turkey withdrawal from these medications, an experience that—against all odds—resulted in no complications and a newfound sense of clarity and stability.
The conversation explores how spirituality, energy healing, herbalism, and somatic practices like EFT tapping and somatic shaking helped her recover and thrive without medication. She discusses the transformative impact of grounding, managing energy, and working with plants as tools for healing, sharing personal stories of plant spirits offering guidance and support.
The episode highlights how intention and connection to nature can provide profound emotional and physical healing. Alice also emphasizes the importance of moving beyond dependence on any single healing tool and trusting in one’s ability to navigate life with resilience and self-awareness.
