Description
he Medicine Spoke is a soul-baring podcast exploring healing at its root—from the womb to the wild unknown. Hosted by a mother of five and nurse turned spiritual seeker, this show dives into the raw, often unspoken layers of trauma, emotional inheritance, psychedelics, and rebirth.
Each episode is a blend of storytelling, reflection, and remembrance—sometimes solo, sometimes with guides, therapists, or fellow travelers on the path. From a life-altering Ibogaine journey in Mexico to breathwork, rage release, motherhood, and the echoes of what we felt before we had language—this is a space for the ones who never felt quite at home in the surface world.
Whether you’ve sat with plant medicine, cried in a therapist’s office, or screamed into a pillow at 2 a.m., you’ll feel seen here.

This is the Season 1 finale of The Medicine Spoke… and it is a full-circle moment. In this episode, I reflect on the journey that started with recording Episode 1 and re-recording it over and over again because I couldn’t stand the sound of my own voice… to now sitting here with so much more grace for myself and the courage to share my story openly. Season 1 has been about healing out loud. It’s been about the moments that break us open, the lessons that shape us, and the realization that the...
This episode was not planned — it found me. After a chaotic weekend, an argument with my daughter, and a long drive to a small church I didn’t even want to attend, I walked in dysregulated and overwhelmed. Well into the service, something shifted in my body. My nervous system calmed. My heart opened. And I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. In this episode, I share: • The real-life moment that reminded me how intuition feels in the body • My full faith journey — from Apostolic roo...
We don’t talk enough about what happens after the breakthroughs. After the big realizations. After the emotional releases. After the moments that change everything. Because eventually, healing gets quiet. In this episode, I’m sharing what healing looks like for me right now in real life — not in ceremonies or dramatic shifts, but in the small, consistent choices that regulate my nervous system and create peace in my everyday life. We’re talking about the maintenance phase of healing. The 5:15...
For most of my life, I thought ego was confidence. I didn’t realize it was fear quietly running everything. In this episode, I share how my healing journey — especially through ibogaine and DMT — helped me finally see the difference between ego and intuition, and how learning to listen to that quiet inner voice changed the way I live, work, love, and show up for myself. We talk about: • how ego shows up as anxiety, control, validation, people-pleasing, and survival • how intuition feels calm,...
In this episode of The Medicine Spoke, I talk about why true healing begins with self-forgiveness — and why letting go of the past isn’t possible if we’re still punishing ourselves for who we were. I share parts of my story that I carried shame around for years: becoming a mom at sixteen, divorce, regret, mistakes, and the fear of being alone with myself. I explore how shame keeps the nervous system stuck in survival, how self-judgment can feel like control, and why forgiveness is actually an...
What does it actually mean to love yourself — beyond affirmations and self-care trends? In this episode, I share why I intentionally say “I am happy, I love myself” every single day, and how self-love has become the foundation for nervous system safety, self-belief, and alignment in my life. We talk about how loving yourself isn’t selfish — it’s essential. How self-love creates trust within your body. And how that trust allows you to stop chasing and start allowing what’s meant for you. I sha...
In a world that feels loud, divided, and overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to place your attention — especially when your own life feels just as chaotic. Between nonstop schedules, kids’ sports, co-parenting, work, relationships, and personal dreams, the noise doesn’t just live in the headlines… it lives in our homes and our bodies too. In this episode, Ashton reflects on a season of life where her calendar feels relentless and the world feels unsettled — and how she’s learning that ...
In this honest and heartfelt episode of The Medicine Spoke, Ashton unpacks her 2026 mantra: “Happiness is a choice.” What began as a simple phrase on a piece of home décor in her first apartment has become a powerful daily practice for regulating her nervous system and responding — rather than reacting — to life. Ashton shares real-life examples of how this mantra shows up in her marriage, parenting, starting a new PRN nursing job, and even navigating frustrating moments in traffic. She expla...
What happens after the journey ends? After the medicine quiets… after you feel changed on the inside… but the world around you looks exactly the same. In this episode of The Medicine Spoke, we talk about integration — the often-overlooked part of healing. The return to everyday life. The grief, clarity, patience, and daily choices that come after transformational experiences. Using the New Year as a symbolic blank slate, this episode explores what it really means to heal in real time — in the...
There’s a part of the healing journey nobody really talks about — the quiet after… the Gray Day… the place between fear and surrender. In this episode, I share my Gray Day after ibogaine and my 5-MeO-DMT experience — the fear, the letting go, the visions, the tears, the prayers, and the deep peace that followed. You’ll hear about: • what Gray Day actually is • why the silence is so intense • my 5-MeO-DMT experience and what it felt like inside it • the moment I thought I died — and what happe...
In this episode, I finally open up and share something deeply personal — my Ibogaine journey, from the moment the day began through the night that changed everything. I take you with me into the nerves, the prayers, the intentions, and then into the ceremony itself — the capsules, the visions, the purging, the fear, the tenderness, and the moments of love, clarity, and deep healing that felt like they were guiding me home to myself. There were parts that were intense. There were parts that we...
There’s a moment right before something changes your life — not when it happens, but when you realize there’s no turning back. In Episode 9 of The Medicine Spoke, I take you with me through the quiet, sacred threshold before Ibogaine — from leaving home, crossing the border into Tijuana, and arriving at Ambio Life Sciences, to the moments of surrender, safety, and inner stillness that came before the medicine ever touched my body. This episode isn’t about Ibogaine itself. It’s about the d...
In this episode, I’m finally sharing the part of my ibogaine story that no one really talks about — the calling, the curiosity, the preparation, and the unraveling that happened long before I ever stepped foot in Mexico. It all began in January 2025 with a Joe Rogan episode… and a moment that shifted everything for me and my husband. Today, I walk you through: ✨ Why I said yes to ibogaine even when I didn’t think I needed healing ✨ How the medicine began calling me before I even understood it...
In this episode, I break down the truth about one of the most powerful plant medicines on the planet—something most people have never heard of, especially if you grew up in a small town like I did. This is the episode I wish someone had made for me before I ever stepped into this world. Ibogaine is known for its impact on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and deep emotional healing. Whether you’re simply curious or exploring this medicine for your own life, this episode offers a g...
“This is the Thanksgiving story that broke me open… and the gratitude that rebuilt me.” Episode 6 is a deeply personal conversation about grief, healing, and the complicated emotions the holidays often bring. Thanksgiving was the last day I spoke to my dad, and five years later, this season still carries both weight and beauty. In this episode, I share the story of my dad’s final days, the way grief reshaped my life, and how unexpected gratitude emerged from the hardest season I’ve ever liv...
Reparenting yourself isn’t about blaming your childhood — it’s about finally giving yourself the safety, validation, and love you never received consistently. In this episode, Ashton dives into her own inner-child work, the visions that came through during her Ibogaine journey, and the emotional patterns many of us carry into adulthood without even realizing it. You’ll learn what reparenting looks like day-to-day, why it can feel uncomfortable in the beginning, and how breathwork, boundarie...
In this episode, I open up about the hidden side of healing — the part no one prepares you for. The silence. The fear. The free fall that happens when you finally choose yourself after years of living for everyone else. I share the deeper layers of my journey: becoming a mother at sixteen, losing myself in responsibility, finding my identity in nursing and leadership, and the moment Ibogaine broke everything open and showed me how to be alone with myself. I talk about stepping away from a car...
In this episode, I’m peeling back the wound so many of us carry but rarely name: the fear of judgment. From shame projected onto me in the womb, to growing up in a small town, to being the “affair child,” to becoming a teen mom who was told she ruined her life, I share the moments that taught me to hide, shrink, and worry about what everyone thought of me. I talk about how that fear followed me into motherhood, marriage, divorce, and even into my healing work today. I open up about the pres...
There comes a moment when you can’t fake it anymore. When the smile feels heavy and your body starts whispering what your soul’s been screaming — I can’t live like this anymore. In this episode, I open up about the slow unraveling that led me here — the exhaustion of nursing, motherhood, marriage, and the silent weight of trying to hold it all together. I talk about what “rock bottom” really felt like — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — and how that breaking point became the door...
This first episode is a raw introduction to who I am and why I started The Medicine Spoke. I’m Ashton Daugherty — a mama of five and former nurse of nearly 15 years who walked away from the medical world to explore what true healing really means. After years of burnout, I followed an inner calling that led me to Mexico for an Ibogaine journey that cracked me open and helped me begin again — as a woman, a mother, and a soul finally listening. In this opening episode, I share my story — the bre...
