"I Never Took Drugs" — How Psychedelics ...

Nat Kringoudis
About this episode

What if the very thing you've been taught to fear is actually key to healing?

This episode is a mind-opening conversation with Tania de Jong, a social entrepreneur, performer, and founder of Mind Medicine Australia. Tania shares her unbelievable story: a woman who never touched drugs, never got drunk, and yet found herself stepping into the world of psychedelics for healing. 

We get honest about the broken mental health system, the trauma we carry (including intergenerational wounds), and why ancient medicines are finding their rightful place in modern healing. Tania doesn’t just talk theory, she walks us through the science, and what it’s taken to bring psychedelic therapy into the mainstream in Australia.

If you've ever felt let down by conventional treatments, or you're searching for hope in the darkest corners of anxiety, PTSD, or depression, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

Key Takeaways

Psychedelics as Medicine – Plant medicines like psilocybin and MDMA offer profound healing far beyond conventional treatments.

The Power of One Dose – Just 2–3 carefully administered psychedelic therapy sessions can produce up to 80% remission in depression and PTSD.

Healing Through Connection – The root of many mental illnesses is disconnection; psychedelics work by restoring a deep sense of unity with self and others.

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science – These aren't new solutions—they're ancient healing tools finally supported by today’s research.

The Mental Health Crisis is Real – One in four Australians suffers from mental illness, and traditional approaches are often falling short.

Hope is Here – Legal, safe psychedelic therapy is now available in Australia—and it's already transforming lives.
