Therapy, Beauty & Psychedelic Healing with Lara Maurino Donahue
Update: 2025-08-27
Description
What if therapy wasn’t just talk...but a full integration of mind, body, spirit…and maybe even psychedelics?
In this bold and refreshing conversation, Erika and Marcella sit down with their own therapist, Lara Maurino Donahue, to explore how women can move from surviving to thriving. With more than two decades of experience, Lara blends traditional therapy with somatic practices, spiritual wisdom, and psychedelic integration. She also happens to be a beauty enthusiast (lashes + brows included), reminding us that authenticity is the ultimate glow.
We talk about:
Why group therapy can accelerate growth in ways individual therapy can’t
The difference between traditional talk therapy and integrative therapy
How psychedelic medicine is helping women access and process their deepest feelings
The importance of integration; living your lessons after the session or ceremony ends
Beauty, confidence, and what Lara calls “enhanced natural”
Why your 40s can be a renaissance, not a crisis
This is an episode for the woman who’s therapy-tired, therapy-curious, or just curious about what it means to heal in a more embodied, connected way.
💫 Psychedelics, beauty, connection, authenticity—it’s all on the table.
