In this space, you’ll be listening to conversations with holistic practitioners, well-being experts & rad psychonauts. We’ll be discussing the plethora of resources and tools available for virtually anyone to learn how to connect deeper to themselves, integrate their mind-body-soul systems to realize their wholeness & authentic self-expression. My search for integrated wholeness began after years of struggling with clinical depression, numerous addictions, and unintegrated trauma. Beyond the basics of diet & lifestyle, my search for healing transitioned from antidepressants & regular psychologist appointments to incorporating psychedelic medicines, daily yogic practices and many alternative medicine strategies to realize one indisputable truth: We are all divinely unique expressions of human potential, and to realize our undeniable wholeness, we need to look deeply within & figure our shit out. Because there’s not “one-size-fits-all” solution to healing. A particular interest of mine is where one’s healing journey intersects with our cultural norms & values and how to navigate the needed paradigm shifts to support everyone’s right to freedom, autonomy, respect & wellbeing. My intention with the podcast is to provide various frameworks for interacting within the relationships we have with ourselves & others that can assist you, the listener, in your quest for integrated wholeness. I’m thrilled to have you along this journey with me to uncover each individual’s path to Radically Authentic Wholeness - aka RAW! Beyond the podcast, the RAW Project offers a warm community space for authentic growth seekers to connect, practice & learn together as we all work to actualize our whole, authentic self-expression. Currently navigated through Patreon, our tiered offerings include pre-taped & live yoga classes, guided meditations, group coaching & workshops as well as discounts on 1:1 sessions or other RAW Project offerings. Within the 1:1 sessions, I personally tailor a coaching program for individuals looking to radically catalyze their growth.

Ryan & Krystine discuss how to navigate trauma, addictions and other life afflictions using psychedelics, particularly Iboga. We listen to Ryan’s story as one of his students coaching skiing hit a tree and was paralyzed from the neck down. His life went into a spiral thereafter, which he soothed through various addictions. He was initiated into the Bwiti tribe in Gabon, where he met the profound psychedelic teacher Iboga and where he got to meet and hash his life out with his soul. We also discuss how we conceptualize being human as souls gathering information, and navigating how to create a life we’re proud of. Ryan Snow is a Transformational Recovery coach and Certified Addictions Counselor where he co-founded, with his mother Sue Snow, the Center for Wholeness and Wellbeing in Calgary, Ab. A centre focusing on holistic recovery strategies for addictions and other mental health afflictions.

I asked Tamara to come on the podcast to discuss her creation and work with “The Happiness Experiment,” also known as “Three Good Things;” a practice in cultivating gratitude. Beyond that, we discuss understanding our sexuality, different levels of friendship, boundaries, emotional intelligence, learning for curiosity's sake, and so much more. Tamara advocates positive change through tools that consciously create engagement, deep learning advancement and personal growth, a belief that launched The Happiness Experiment, a project which continues to significantly impact thousands of people for the better. “My gift is seeing the unique potential in people, my skill is enabling them to see it in themselves, so that they may achieve their dreams.”In her work as a coach, she pulls from her extensive experience in the recovery of childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence, major mental health challenges, addictions, leading social change projects such as The Happiness Experiment, speaking at national conferences on behaviour change, being an intuitive parent, and completing a fellowship in Transformational Leadership at Yale.Links to connect with Tamara:Her website: https://www.tamarawaugh.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/tamara_waugh/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tamarawaugh3gt LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamarawaugh/If you enjoyed the show, please subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts, leave an honest review on Apple Podcasts and share us with your friends and family.

We welcome Tarzie McLean on the show today where we navigate the vast landscape of mental health & psychedelics. We discuss how the language we use around mental health or illness can be harmful, as well as how to understand terms that are now commonly thrown around, such as gaslighting, coping mechanisms, personal responsibility and belief patterns. We end by discussing how to approach working with psychedelics, how to understand set and setting, as well as the skills required to integrate and navigate the sensational experiences that inevitably come upon working with the plant medicines. Tarzie has a Masters in Counselling Psychology and is an experienced therapist and advocate for bio-psycho-social-spiritual approaches to health. She has worked as a facilitator and consultant in health and wellness systems for over two decades.

Today’s guest is Pedro Banman. He’s an intentional, thought-provoking leader in the truest sense of the word. Our long discussion centralizes how to create unification throughout our western culture and move away from the destructive tribalism and extremism that we find afflicting our societies. We start off by discussing how common it is in language to project our thoughts & feelings onto others instead of owning and speaking through “I” statements. We discuss how misbeliefs or misconceptions of the world form how we interact within it and how we can re-navigate and shift these misperceptions to find more empathy, understanding and compassion for others who live and believe a completely different set of principles than we do. We make an effort to discuss how to navigate various potential solutions both collectively and individually through this turbulent time we find ourselves in. Other topics & definitions we discuss include right/left politics, capitalism vs runaway capitalism or corporatism, democratic socialism, freedom of expression, various philosophies & ways of conceptualizing life, living our own truth, censorship and the concepts of freedom generally. We also navigate the human power of listening, integrating psychedelics and transformational work, relationship building, yogic principles, the idea of being “for” something instead of being “against” things, intersectionality and the limits of typecasting and how we need to move towards understanding people on a more nuanced level over their demographics. On a personal level, you’ll hear how I conceptualize helping individuals and the collectives work towards unification by cultivating self-awareness, connecting to what inspires them, and how to cultivate enthusiasm to work towards their own inspiration. It is a powerful dialogue that navigates the vast human experience when more dialogue is exactly what’s needed. <3 If you enjoyed the show, please subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts, leave an honest review on Apple Podcasts and share us with your friends and family.
