In this solo episode, I dive into a transformative journey of self-exploration — sharing my recent experience of a guided session with MDMA and psilocybin, combined with internal family systems (IFS) parts work. This experience illuminated deep insights about the many parts within me — those seeking validation, safety, and creative expression — revealing how they shape my life, emotions, and decision-making. Through raw reflection, I explore the tension between my bold, unapologetic self and the version of me that fears judgment, uncovering the path to integration rather than suppression. From childhood wounds to the complexities of social media’s grip on identity, this episode unpacks the ways we can reconnect with our hearts, honor our inner worlds, and find peace in embracing all aspects of who we are.
