Ayahuasca is one of the most beautiful, healing, powerful, life-changing plant teachers on Earth. She is the Grandmother spirit. Abuelita. The dark feminine serpent who carries the knowledge of the ancient Amazon jungle, Pachamama, and consciousness itself. She is a living portal to another way of being and understanding.

Ayahuasca is a medicine of liberation and remembering.

Beyond the science and medical guidelines, beyond the research and trip reports... what makes this medicine a good fit for you? How do you know? If you're being called, how can you be sure?

In this week's episode, I'm sharing about creating a healing partnership with the Spirit of Grandmother Ayahuasca. We'll get into the essence and vibration of this beautiful medicine, and I'll share my own experience getting to know her over the last 8 years. This is the first episode in a series getting to know my favorite plant teachers (Aya, San Pedro, and Psilocybin...) and how to decide which one(s) are right for you.

So a couple weeks ago inside my ​NEST Group Integration Membership​, I issued a challenge to the group: Take a vacation from your problems.

Over the next week, there were so many big breakthroughs, insights, and Aha! moments that came through for multiple Nesties. Why? Because stopping the forward motion allows space. And space allows things to rise into your awareness. Where you can witness it with compassion, and identify your patterns, and even addictive coping mechanisms.

Healing is receptive. Passive. It's what happens under the surface and behind the scenes when you are in a calm, regulated state. It's the state of allowing. Of softening. Of putting down the impulse to take on yet another side quest, and focus on doing less.

Integration is wholeness. Calmness. Peace. It is what happens in the space between.

This week on the show, join me in taking a vacation from your problems. Give yourself unconditional permission to set aside the identity of "spiritual seeker" and try on "present human being" instead.

There will come a time in your medicine work where you start getting into the root causes of your issues. This is when you begin to see the bigger picture behind your thoughts, behaviors, and habits.

Once you find the spiritual path, it feels like an answer to your prayers, but can also quickly turn into another way to not allow yourself to be good enough or healed enough.

That there's something OUT THERE, or inside you that if you could just find it, THEN you would feel better.

This week on the show, we'll talk about how to shift your path when you realize you've inadvertently become a perfectionist coal miner searching for problems to solve. Step into your jeweler era... a glorious celebration of appreciating all the discoveries you've made, polishing your inner gems, and enjoying the shit out of your imperfect yet flawless life.

What if everything you think you know about life, the world, how things work, and the nature of reality is actually... wrong?

Plant medicine lifts the veil and shows us that everything we are attached to, that we think we know, is false. The effect is that we stop being able to pretend. To live in a material world of cause and effect. It shows us the true nature of reality: That we are vibrational beings living in a vibrational, conscious Universe. That everything is vibration.

On this week's show, I'm going on a mighty little rampage against endless healing, seeking, and solving, and offering a more nuanced way of understanding vibration and why healing takes so long.

It's always energetic. And aligned energy creates inspired, aligned action. Easy!

That urgency you feel all the time? That's not actually yours.

How many of us are running unconscious programs of unworthiness playing themselves out through production and performance instead of presence? What would happen if you opened space in your day? Your heart?

Stillness and slowness create space to feel. To understand.

The way to breakthrough and uplevel is not "do more and go faster," it's put it all down. Give yourself unconditional permission to feel it all. To let it all fall away. And to trust life to surprise and amaze you with it's rich texture and detail.

To ask for and receive help. To share the labor of life with gratitude and to stop thinking we need to do it all ourselves.

Create space. Be present. And the way will open.

Unpopular Opinion: Chronic Depression is CURABLE

This week on the show, I'm having a super juicy, vulnerable talk with my bestie Tara Leitner-Merendino about finding your way out of depression.

In this episode, Tara shares her remarkable story of overcoming her long battle with C-PTSD, which led her on an ultimate quest through anxiety, depression, doctors, diagnoses, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, and fear until she found the way back home to her giant heart and true sovereign wellness.

Learn how Tara worked with ceremony and plant medicines to turn paralysis into power with the help of gratitude, movement, and service.

What could be possible if you decided healing was within reach? What do you believe?

Depression (and ANY symptom, condition, or illness) is not terminal. And there is a way out.

Are you afraid of your anger?

Anger is the misunderstood arsonist teenager who roams inside each of us wreaking havoc and setting fires. This inner rebel is simultaneously the protector, the vigilante, the protestor, and Ultimate Fighting Champion. It's hot, impulsive, and feels so dangerous.

When anger is around, so is judgment. Of others, and especially ourselves. We think anger isn't spiritual. It's low vibe and means we haven't gotten very far on our journey. We're supposed to be better than this...

OK, but we're not doing it like that, Family.

If anything, our rage is a sacred and holy messenger. An ally. A burly partner with a lot of metaphorical weapons. It is righteous and beautiful and necessary and NORMAL.

4 Easy Steps to Engage with Anger (And turn it into your teacher and ally):

1. Acknowledge it. Let it be valid. Anger is not bad, it’s just big energy.
2. Feel it somatically. Pause. Breathe. Move with it. Allow it to be there and to be kinetic inside you. Doing this lets your nervous system know that anger is safe to feel.
3. Let it teach you. Ask, “What are you protecting me from? What truth is trying to emerge? What boundaries do I need to enact here?”
4. Channel it consciously. Anger doesn't need to be released AT people or things. It can instead be channeled into boundaries, healing conversations, activism, and as fuel for creative projects and transformation.

Anger is the messenger letting you know that SOMETHING IS RISING TO BE HEALED. Plant medicine can be the bridge to accessing repressed anger and learning to relate with it in an empowered way. Where it is your teacher instead of your enemy.

👣 Integration is how you walk with and transform the sacred rage you find inside.

Here's that Sacred Rage Spotify Playlist 🤘

Do you feel exhausted? Stressed? Strained? Like everything is a battle and you are wildly swinging swords trying to slay all the dragons? Yeah, striving and struggling exists to wear you out, steal your energy, and tank your vitality – all in the name of productivity, meeting goals, and doing what you "should..."

But what if you just... STOPPED STRIVING? What if you are not some unending healing project that requires increasing complexity and systems and strategy? What if you're more like a really fun houseplant that needs simple things like good food, sleep, sunlight, and cuddling?

Complexity and creating unsolvable problems mind's way of keeping itself activated, busy, and protected. If you are always moving, you don't have to actually slow down and feel your feelings.

Without solid foundations, the castle you're building will crumble. No matter how much plant medicine you guzzle or spiritual self-help books you read. The good news is, going back to basics is simple.

Let go of striving and let it be easy. Trust yourself, trust the Universe, and let your energy guide the way!
