Eric Zilleruelo joins us to share a powerful and deeply personal story about life after prison — the guilt he carried, the depression that followed his release, and the internal conflict of trying to rebuild a life that no longer felt like his. Today, Eric is guided by a new purpose: supporting men who have walked a similar path and showing them that it’s never too late to start again. This conversation explores responsibility, truth, second chances, and the possibility of rediscovering direction after life’s darkest chapters.

Robb joins us to share a deeply personal story about addiction, identity, and the moment everything changed. In this conversation, Robb opens up about the painful experience of coming out to his parents, how plant medicine helped him see his story from a new perspective, and the compassion that emerged from confronting memories he spent years avoiding.

This episode is an invitation to look at our past with courage, soften the parts of ourselves we’ve closed off, and explore what acceptance can mean when we stop running from our own truth.

When your mom comes to one of your plant medicine retreats, you know life has come full circle. In this episode, I sit down with my mom to talk about what brought her to Mexisoul, what the experience was like for her, and how it’s transformed our relationship in unexpected ways. She opens up about discovering and healing generational pain — and how breaking the cycle begins with courage, compassion, and the willingness to look within.

In this episode, Stephanie opens up about her journey from the structured faith of Mormonism (LDS) to the expansive world of plant medicine. After years of struggling with depression and anxiety following her father’s passing — and relying on antidepressants and therapy — she realized there were emotions she had long suppressed. Through Ayahuasca, Psilocybin, and a Women’s Retreat, Stephanie learned the power of release and the courage to surrender control. This is a vulnerable, honest conversation about grief, faith, and transformation.

In this episode, David DJ Lloyd opens up about his experience with depression and the numbness that comes with it. Searching for answers beyond medication, he found in plant medicine a way to reconnect with himself and rediscover the emotions he had long suppressed. Through his journey with Ayahuasca and Psilocybin, David learned that true healing begins when we allow ourselves to feel our feelings and let the subconscious do its work.

In this episode of Remember Who You Are, we sit down with Ben Dingle, a military nurse from Australia, who shares his deeply personal path to plant medicine. Shaped by the trauma of working in a high-mortality environment, Ben struggled with depression, anxiety, and a sense of emotional disconnection. His first plant medicine ceremony was not what he expected. Instead of the clarity he hoped for, he faced an experience that challenged his sense of control. Yet, over time, the lessons revealed themselves: the deep connection between body and mind, and the understanding that surrender can be more powerful than control.

In this episode of Remember Who You Are, Melissa opens up about the struggles she faced after the isolation of the pandemic—anxiety, social disconnection, and patterns of behavior that left her feeling almost paranoid. Guided by the call of plant medicine, she stepped into her first Ayahuasca ceremony, where she discovered profound insights: the ego as the root of pain, the importance of surrendering to the unconscious, and the realization that the only way through is inward. Melissa also reflects on the balance of masculine and feminine energy, cultivating empathy for her lineage, and the visions that reshaped her understanding of consciousness. Her story is both vulnerable and powerful—a reminder of the courage it takes to face ourselves fully.

In this episode of Remember Who You Are Podcast, Ruger Hebert sits down with Julie Peck — a lawyer and yoga practitioner whose journey into plant medicine began as a desperate search for solutions after a brain injury. Through meditation and her first encounters with plant medicine, Julie stepped into her power as the Divine Feminine, opening the door to a deeper expansion of consciousness. Together, we explore what it means to view life through a Divine Feminine lens, and how balancing the feminine and masculine energies within us can bring us closer to wholeness. This episode is an invitation to see beyond gender, to recognize energy as the true force at play, and to rediscover the harmony that already lives within us.

In this episode, we sit down with Lauren Kelley, a psychiatrist who shares her personal journey through depression, grief, and the emotional weight of loss. Lauren opens up about what led her to plant medicine—not as a professional curiosity, but as a human being seeking relief, perspective, and peace after the death of someone close. Her reflections are honest, grounded, and deeply vulnerable—touching on the limits of what she had been taught, and what she came to understand through direct experience.
