What if healing is less about fixing yourself and more about learning how to trust yourself again?

In this episode of The Favourite Self Podcast, Carly sits down with registered social worker, clinical therapist, and founder of Healing Recovery Centre, Morgan Weatherup, for a conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy, microdosing, entrepreneurship, and the deeper work of coming home to yourself. 

Morgan shares how her path into this work began, how her understanding of healing has evolved, and why real transformation often happens when we stop rushing to the breakthrough and allow ourselves to move at the pace we are actually ready for.

Together, Carly and Morgan explore the many paths healing can take, from traditional therapy and nervous system work to holistic approaches, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and microdosing. Healing Recovery Centre’s psychedelic therapy program is rooted in safe, supportive, trauma-informed care, with an emphasis on preparation, the medicine experience, and integration as part of the process.

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Sometimes the deepest medicine is not about bypassing the pain or forcing the breakthrough, but learning how to listen to your body, trust your inner wisdom, and choose the path that feels aligned for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Healing is not always one big breakthrough. Often, it is the slower work of integration and self trust

• Psychedelic-assisted therapy is one pathway that can support deeper self-reflection, self-discovery, and transformation when held in a safe and supportive environment

• Microdosing and holistic healing can help people reconnect with their inner wisdom in a different way

• Preparation and integration are essential parts of the healing process, especially when working with deeper therapeutic modalities

• High achievers are often being called to deeper healing because they know there is something more available to them

• Entrepreneurship can be a powerful mirror for growth, visibility, and identity shifts

• You do not have to heal all at once. You can move as slowly as the slowest part of you is ready to go
