In this special episode, Be Bold Media Co brings on their first guest and they explore healing and transformation in using plant medicine.
Host, Shiba Ahadi created this podcast where leaders can talk about their story and how they got to the other side of their path.
Often times we see one minute clips on social media but that doesn’t nearly touch on how deep each leader has gone through to be showing up in their medicine today.
This episode goes into Chelsea River Leigh’s story in how her path unfolded to become the medicine woman and ceremonialist she is today!!
We talk about the power of being witnessed, feeling safe in trauma informed spaces, how important integration is after ceremonies, connecting with the inner child and how hilarious we make the healing work to be so serious sometimes.
This episode was deeply heartfelt and goes deep into the challenges and rewards of the nonlinear path of finding our medicine.
About Chelsea:
Chelsea River Leigh is a ceremonialist, medicine woman, teacher, and steward of earth medicines.
Her life and work are devoted to the earth, to Spirit, and to the path of plant medicine as a way of remembrance, reconnection, and soul-level healing.

Through group retreats, private ceremonies, integration work, and teachings, Chelsea supports people in working with plant medicines not as a shortcut or escape, but as sacred allies and teachers that call us back into truth, responsibility, healing, and belonging.
