This one feels tender. For a long time, I believed I needed religion or spirituality to give my life meaning—and plant medicine to heal what I thought was “broken” in me. But all it really did was keep me trapped in cycles of shame, confusion, and dependence on authority figures. In this episode, I share the turning points, the trauma, and the freedom I’ve found by no longer pathologizing my human experience.
