"As we overcome our fears in medicine work, we also overcome our fears in life."

Welcome to SEASON 5! In this solo episode, we welcome the new year and explore the “medicine around the medicine”—those unexpected gifts that arise from working with psychedelics. Rather than focusing on the direct, intentional outcomes we seek through ceremonies, this conversation dives into the unintentional benefits that often unfold on the periphery. From discovering deeper devotion in our day-to-day lives, to enhancing our diets and fortifying relationships, these surprising transformations act as the welcomed “cherry on top” of our psychedelic journeys.

Lana shares personal insights about integrating medicines like ayahuasca, psilocybin, and iboga, highlighting how these experiences can spark inner trust and strengthen one’s connection to nature and spirituality. Listeners will also hear reflections on the value of patience, the courage required to confront fear, and how a long-term view of transformation can foster true metamorphosis. Whether you’re new to psychedelics or a seasoned explorer, this episode offers an inspiring reminder of how plant medicines can weave their wisdom into every aspect of life—often in ways we never expected.


Topics Covered:

- Cultivating devotion to what truly matters - Overcoming fear by facing the unknown - Embracing the long-term journey of transformation - Improved diet and physical well-being over time - Navigating shifts in friendships and relational dynamics - Deepening connection to nature and spirituality - Cultivating inner trust and honing intuition - Reflections on new beginnings and the power of intentions
