What happens when your world feels like Groundhog Day?

In this episode, Devin — a husband, leader, and high-functioning achiever — shares his journey from emotional numbness, alcohol patterns, and resistance to clarity, connection, and self-trust.

After witnessing his wife’s transformation through Enfold, Devin knew there was something powerful waiting for him too. But fear, avoidance, and identity in work kept him circling the edges. Three years later, everything aligned and Devin knew it was the right timing.

What followed was a homecoming through medicine, an unexpected bond with a group of men walking similar paths, and a newfound capacity to sit with whatever life brings and observe it — instead of being consumed by it.

Devin’s story is for anyone who feels stuck and spiritually restless — quietly wondering if there’s more to life than just making it through.

In This Episode, We Explore:

1. Why Devin resisted the call to healing — and what finally opened him to the journey

2. How workaholism and alcohol masked deeper wounds

3. What made the all-men’s cohort feel safe, relatable, and profoundly healing

4. The power of group healing for men navigating shame, addiction, and identity

5. What shifted in Devin’s sense of purpose, presence, and connection

6. How the Enfold experience continues to unfold months later — through brotherhood, integration, and inner peace

What happens when the outside world can’t fix what’s aching inside?

In this episode, Pam — a midlife professional with a “wonderful life” — shares her awakening journey from high-functioning discomfort to embodied presence.

After years of success, productivity, and emotional self-reliance, Pam began to sense something was off. It wasn’t burnout. It wasn’t crisis. It was a quiet but persistent dis-ease. A cousin’s powerful transformation with 5-MeO-DMT sparked her curiosity, and a series of heart-opening medicines slowly helped her loosen the grip of control and allow herself to feel.

What followed was a deep unraveling of old patterns, a discovery of inner safety, and a shift from external validation to internal regulation.

Pam’s story is an invitation for anyone who’s spent their life doing it all “right” — and still feels like something’s missing.

In This Episode, We Explore:

1. Pam’s journey from heart openers to psychedelics — and why she needed to start slow

2. How perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-functioning masked her deeper wounds

3. What happened when she experienced “being” for the first time in her life

4. The moment she realized her nervous system had been outsourcing safety for decades

5. Why slow, supported healing allowed her to meet herself with compassion

6. How the Enfold experience helped her come home to the truth already within

In this powerful conversation, past Awakening to Life guest Alanna shares her journey from psychedelic neuroscience researcher to spiritual seeker — and the transformation that unfolded when she finally followed the quiet call within.

Alanna had studied the mechanisms of psilocybin in the lab. But it wasn’t research that brought her to Enfold — it was intuition. After years of being “functional but not fulfilled,” a perfectly timed conversation and a sense of inner readiness aligned. What followed was a full-body release, a reconnection to self, and a knowing that “this will benefit me for the rest of my life.”

This episode is for anyone trying to think their way into healing — and ready to feel instead.

In This Episode, We Explore:

1. Why Alanna — a trained psychedelic scientist — chose to experience 5-MeO-DMT

2. The tension between logic and intuition, and how she learned to trust the latter

3. Her perspective on neurogenesis, trauma, and psychedelic healing

4. What it felt like to let go of years of suppressed emotion

5. How the integration journey continues to unfold months later

6. Why even researchers need to be held, guided, and reminded they are safe

What happens when you stop postponing your healing?

In this powerful conversation, past Awakening to Life guest Jen shares the deeply personal journey that brought her to Enfold — and the life-altering transformation that followed. As a mother, business owner, and caregiver to loved ones in decline, Jen had every reason to wait. But a simple piece of advice changed everything: “You might not want to wait.”

Jen opens up about the grief she was carrying, the fear of wanting more, and the internal voice that kept whispering “I don’t have time.” What she discovered through the Enfold process wasn’t just safety — but a reconnection to her feminine essence, a radical softening, and a knowing that everything she was seeking was already within her.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re holding it all together on the outside… but secretly wondering, “What about me?”

🪞 In This Episode, We Explore:

1. What held Jen back from saying yes to her healing

2. Navigating anticipatory grief and the pressure to “hold it all”

3. The moment she realized she didn’t want to be afraid anymore

4. Letting go of masculine conditioning and stepping into the feminine

5. Integration insights: How the experience continues to ripple through her life

6. Why the time is never going to feel perfect — and why now is enough

In this episode, David shares his profound transformative journey with 5-MeO-DMT at Enfold. Initially unfamiliar with psychedelics and stemming from discovering his autism and deep personal grief around his mother, David recounts how an invitation by his sister led him to explore the Enfold experience.

Through immersive parts work (IFS) and the ceremonies at Enfold, David experienced significant personal breakthroughs, particularly in processing the loss of his mother and his newfound ability to connect and love others unreservedly. He discusses the importance of integration, the realization of love as an infinite resource, and how these revelations continue to manifest in his daily life.

For those inspired by David's journey, Enfold offers a supportive and intentional environment to explore transformational experiences.

Takeaways:

- David's first encounter with Enfold and 5-MeO-DMT stemmed from a deep interest in internal family systems (IFS).

- Diagnosed with autism, David felt disconnected and exhausted, seeking a new way to cope with his grief and life challenges.

- The 'Meet the Medicine' ceremony allowed David to reconnect with his late mother, altering his perceptions of grief and self-worth.

- The full release ceremony deepened David's understanding of universal love and energy, fundamentally shifting his approach to life and relationships.

- Post-experience, David feels more connected to his body, less fearful of social interactions, and more grounded in his daily activities.

- Integration was key to maintaining these insights, with Enfold providing ongoing support and resources.

Breaking through limiting beliefs.

A profound nervous system reset.
