Remember Who You Are Podcast

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.
