In this episode of Steps Forward, I dive into Part 2 of her Ayahuasca journey — what happened after the ceremony, how integration really feels, and what it taught her about healing, control, and surrender. I'm also opening up about something most of us struggle with: avoidance — the subtle, sneaky ways we avoid our own growth, truth, and responsibility.
