I sit down with Jeremy Robinson, a medicine sitter from Northern California, to talk about his path from a homeless, bullied Gen X childhood into a burnout-fueled reckoning with suicidal thoughts, and finally into years of deep work with ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin. We dig into guiding ethics, consent, the myth of the one-session cure, and the beauty of indigenous medicine traditions.

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.

S2 | E1 Dr. Jodie NewDelman, Doctor of Psychology

In this conversation with Dr. Jodie NewDelman, I explore the intersection of psychology, psychedelics, trauma, and the subtle body. We unpack how dysregulation shows up in individuals and systems, why so many chronic conditions evade traditional medical explanations, and how experiential medicine can help unwind what talk therapy alone often cannot.

We discuss Internal Family Systems, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, transference and countertransference, chronic pain as stored trauma, and the difference between temporizing symptoms and addressing root causes. Jodie offers a grounded, trauma-informed perspective on psychedelic-adjacent work and what ethical, integrated care really looks like.

S1 | E18 Amy Anesi - Dear Friend & Former Spouse

In this extended season-finale episode, I sit down with my former wife, Amy Anesi, to tell the truth about our marriage, divorce, and what came after. We speak candidly about infidelity, financial collapse, emotional trauma, and the long road of healing that followed.

Rather than re-litigating the past, we examine how conscious self-work can transform even the most painful endings into functional, respectful, and even loving relationships. Amy offers perspective I cannot access alone—calling out blind spots, grounding the narrative, and modeling what emotional maturity actually looks like.

This episode is not about having a “perfect divorce.” It’s about doing your work so the past stops running your life. If you’ve experienced heartbreak, shame, relational collapse, or feel stuck in an old story about yourself, this conversation offers a radically different possibility.

S1 | E15 Janell Riedl - Pilates Instructor & Intuitive

In this episode, I talk with my Pilates instructor and friend Janell Riedl, whose intuitive, body-based work has helped unwind decades of tension and trauma for me. We explore how the body holds emotion, how release actually happens, and how Janell blends Pilates, energy work, and nervous-system awareness into a powerful healing practice. This is a conversation about letting go, trusting your body, and following the path that leads you back to yourself.

S1 | E3 Jonathan Tripodi - Body Memory

In this episode, I explore with Jonathan Tripodi, my brother from another mother, how the body stores unresolved trauma and how deep healing happens when we surrender to what the body remembers.
