    • 76. Psilocybin, Victim Mentality, & Social Responsibility (Solo)

      For today’s podcast session we came together for a Sisters Solo once again. In this conversation we unpack Paula’s most recent transformative experience from Psilocybin Mushrooms and deep dive into: 

      • The intention that Paula went into this journey with as well as a deep integration of all of the messages and insight that came through. 
      • Acknowledging, identifying and transcending victim mentality in our psyches and why the Earth is asking this of us.
      •  How to navigate the balance between self-compassion and self-discipline that is necessary for the healing journey. 
      • We jump off of these insights to further evolve the dialogue we’ve been having on healing the balance of masculine and feminine energies on this planet. 
      • How this conversation on energies can be utilized in conjunction with the Western Medical Diagnostic model for as holistic of an approach as is possible.

                    About Pretty Mental

                    From the publisher's feed

                    Pretty Mental is about accepting our full selves and inspiring others to do the same by being daringly unfiltered. This means completely normalizing all things mental health and the wild journey that has brought us here. We are challenging the stigmatization of normal human suffering. We are done pretending and subscribing to the notion that it’s taboo to have challenging mental health experiences.
