In this episode I sit down with Christopher Solomon, a somatic salvia guide based in Mendocino County, California, to explore a plant that most people either know nothing about or fear outright. Christopher walks me through his long, winding path with Salvia divinorum — from a strange first encounter in high school in Dallas to the spontaneous healing of a swollen lymph node that doctors wanted to surgically remove. We dig into why the conventional "smoke a big bowl and brace yourself" advice gets it completely backward, and how working with tiny, titrated doses paired with meditation transforms Salvia into a gentle, relational teacher rather than a terrifying five-minute ride. It's a conversation about reverence, somatic awareness, and the surprising therapeutic range of one of the most misunderstood plants out there.

In this episode, I sit down with Katie Simons — a doctor of pharmacy turned hypnotherapist, somatic breathwork facilitator, and psychedelic medicine guide — for one of the most wide-ranging and personally resonant conversations I've had on the show. We trace her journey from a decade inside the VA healthcare system to stepping fully into the healing space, and dig deep into psychedelics, nervous system regulation, integration, and what it actually means to be healed.
