The moment Matt Simpson mentioned that he thinks we’d function much better in a Matriarchy we *knew* we needed to have this fellow Soulfire podcast host on our show. It was no surprise to learn Matt is also on a mission to change the world, in his case, for veterans with PTSD. As his book and pod are titled, Matt believes his goals to help vets are “Worth the Fight” and he is spreading the word on how psychedelics can aid in healing PTSD. In particular, we got to hear about Ayahuasca and the powerful change it can bring. We won’t apologize for going deep in this convo, which also means going high: to the top of the patriarchy where the systemic Trauma all starts. We wrap things up with a card reading from Leah’s hot new b-day deck!
