Today on The Psychedelic Integration Podcast, I'm sharing a wonderful conversation about healing and mushrooms with Joi Whitmore, Entheogenic Priestess. Through her own life experience with racial prejudice, sexual abuse, and a mentally ill mother, she has transmuted multiple layers of trauma with the help of intense therapy, coaching, and psilocybin. Joi is Certified Master Life Coach, an intuitive entheogenic guide, integration coach, and an instructor for the Wayfinder Life Coach training school. She works with all types of people who are feeling discouraged with life internally, even though they may appear successful on the surface.

It is from this place of healing that she seeks to serve others coming from the same space. A child of the earth, she was raised in a multi-cultural family who introduced her to her love of nature, gardening, the beach, and Native American culture. These are the areas in which she finds the most healing in her life, and shares theses methods, tools, and wisdom with her clients.

Diet culture and struggling with food and your body is that toxic, abusive relationship that should have ended years ago, but just keeps hanging on and making you feel like crap. Diet culture is a form of violence towards women, and anyone who feels hijacked by limiting programming that tells you only thin, young, small bodies are valuable and worthy. In this episode of The Psychedelic Integration Podcast I am sharing about breaking up with diet culture and finding home within yourself through psychedelic integration. We’ll dive into body image, binge eating, the cycle of restriction and control, and where it all comes from – so you can reclaim your power and heal your relationship with food once and for all.

Join Sacred Psychedelics Preparation Intensive - we start February 27th

Are you tired? Like yes, of course you're tired, but I mean ARE YOU TIRED? Exhausted by the onslaught of doing and going and expressing and running around trying to make sense of this world that is on fast forward? 

Nervous system dysregulation, overwhelm, burnout, anxiety. Not feeling present for your life.  These are just some of the symptoms of being chronically overstimulated, disconnected, and stuck in output mode. And while we've come to think of this  as just how it is in modern life, it's actually not your natural state to be fried and wired and constantly doing. When it doesn't feel safe to rest, how can you retrain your brain and nervous system to crave stillness and calm? If you feel drawn to plant medicine and psychedelics as a way to reconnect to your true nature of peace and ease, you're not alone. Today on The Psychedelic Integration Podcast I am sharing about reconnecting, receiving, and rest, and how these divinely feminine states of slowing down are crucial to creating a different world.

Raise your hand if you need things to be a certain way. If it would just be better if you did everything yourself. If you micromanage yourself and everyone around you. If you don't really trust other people to meet your expectations. If you feel resentful and angry that no one does anything quite up to your standards. Including you. Today on The Psychedelic Integration Podcast I am diving into how to stop being a control freak so that you can be present and enjoy your life. No judgment. No shame. Only gentle, compassionate understanding of all the ways you try to create safety and protection through attachment and control. And how psychedelics help you unwind this habit energy and shift it into something more chill and beneficial.

In this episode, Sinclair interviews Jonathan Schecter, Certified Breathwork Facilitator and Psychedelic Integration Coach and founder of Blue Magic Alchemy. He works with men to help them find clarity and unlock lasting change in their work with mushrooms and plant medicine. The methods he uses in coaching are the same ones he’s used to transform his own life.

Coming into coaching was one result of coming out of an abusive marriage where he was left feeling lost, stuck and unhappy. Within this dark night of the soul, and during a deep exploration of self, he discovered breathwork, and started prioritizing the integration process as much as the time he was spending within the ceremony space.

Looking inward and asking himself what could have helped at the beginning of his own journey led Jonathan into service as an integration coach. He became a certified breathwork facilitator, and launched The Vital Point podcast which centers on different methods and practices for personal transformation and growth.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Integration Podcast, Sinclair is digging into shifting beliefs about money and abundance. Money is like Fight Club. The first rule is YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT MONEY. (GASP! *pearl clutch*)

Money is such a fear-filled, scarce, uncomfortable subject – especially for spiritual folks with big open hearts. Today I'm throwing down some real talk about breaking your blocks around money, and how this is CRUCIAL work on your path of spirituality, psychedelic integration, and being in service.

Because for a lot of us, it is scary. It's stressful. It's some mystery that you can't understand, that rules your life in ways you don't like. It determines where you can live, what work you do, the kind of healthcare you get, the car you drive, and the quality of life you get to have. We are told that Money = Happiness. But plant medicine will start pulling on that thread and unraveling it until you confront this programming, and start asking yourself what you actually value. What really makes you happy? What if abundance isn't about money at all? What if it's actually safe and spiritual to have money? What would your world look like if you stopped fighting with money and started looking at it as a friend? A magical energy that you can attract and connect with, so that you can open yourself to the Spiritual Opulence that you deserve.

What are some common personality traits that people with anxiety, chronic pain, and chronic illness share? You guessed it... People pleasing, empathy without boundaries, perfectionism, self-sacrifice, low self-worth, and more. Turns out taking on stuff that isn't yours and seeking validation and worth outside yourself can manifest as all kinds of illnesses and coping behaviors over time. Plus, it doesn't feel good to always put your needs behind someone else's. You deserve to feel safe and whole within yourself, and these are simply ways that we learn to protect ourselves, cope, and exist in the world. Working with psychedelics can help you to see these in yourself, and find your way into more self-confidence and self-love.

In today's episode of The Psychedelic Integration Podcast,  Sinclair is digging into empathy, people pleasing, boundaries, codependency and more. We'll talk about how these protective behaviors develop and what the path to freedom looks like. It's time to normalize our trauma response so that we can arrive in a place of compassion and healing rather than shame and disappointment. Looking into yourself and offering love to whatever you find there is all part of the path of healing with plant medicines.
