When I asked Michael how his first ketamine experience was, he shared, “It was like I had noise canceling headphones on for my brain. For the first time I could see I didn’t have to attach to my thoughts.” He was calm, he felt peace, he basked in self-love. Sounds amazing, right?  Ketamine is a trusted and wildly used medicine that helps the brain create new, healthier patterns via new neural growth. I’ve been in the program for the past three weeks, and I personally have seen shifts already. I've been able to reframed limiting perspectives, which has led me to heal from past pain, accept reality, forgive myself and others, even release burdens I used to ruminate on, and my self-doubt has shifted into deeper self-love and worth. I’ve been so impressed with my healing journey on ketamine, and the ethics and integrity of Mindbloom as a company, that I wanted to bring on Michael Petegorsky, the chief strategy officer at Mindbloom to talk breakthroughs in mental health, ketamine treatment, what to expect, and why and how it’s transforming lives and the world.

When is the last time you had a wonderful night’s sleep? Most of us would call ourselves lucky if we could fall asleep easily, sleep soundly through the night, experience and remember our dreams, and wake up feeling refreshed. But for one in three adults in the US (about eighty-four million people), experiencing uninterrupted sleep and getting a great night’s rest is only just a dream. The reality is sleep makes up one-third of our life (a good twenty-five to thirty years), and it impacts everything we do.1 I know firsthand the impact of poor sleep and how it can cause mental stress and break down the body. Which is why I had to write my next book, 365 Happy Bedtime Mantras: Improve Your Sleep, Release Stress, and Enjoy Your Dreams. Dive into this new podcast episode as I share behind the scenes of the making of the book, you’ll get a sneak peek of the book and I pull a mantra from the affirmation deck for you.

You’ve changed over the last 10 years — right? We all have, but how often do we stop and look back to think about how far we’ve actually come? We are so used to hustling forward and not celebrating ourselves or what we have overcome, that we often miss that the journey can be a revitalizing reward. But it can be hard to focus on the good when everything around us does not seem so great. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, insecure, or stuck in seemingly never-ending cycles of self-doubt, stagnate energy and feel disempowered by life circumstances you are not alone. Learning how to embrace reinvention and navigate uncertainty can be a challenge if we feel hopeless, which is why I invited my good friend Andrea Owen back on the Awakened & Aligned Podcast. Andrea’s a renowned life coach and author, and she shares how she took action and faced dissatisfaction with her life head on, changing her path forever. In the latest edition of her first book, 52 Ways to Live a Kick-Ass Life, she talks about the power of looking inward and uncovering our inner badass as we strive for our full potential and confront all the things holding us back.
