What if the antidote to burnout, anxiety, and the endless scroll was as simple as watching a flower open? In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with legendary filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg — director of Fantastic Fungi and creator of the Netflix series Moving Art — for a soul-soothing conversation about slowing down and rediscovering the beauty hidden in plain sight. Louie shares how nature became his greatest teacher, why fear-based media quietly harms the body, and how “visual healing” is now being used in hospitals and addiction centers. Together they explore the surprising link between fungi and menopause, the power of gratitude as a daily practice, and why midlife is the perfect season to reconnect with nature — and yourself. His mantra says it all: change your media, and you change your life.✨ What You'll Learn·     Why nature is one of the most powerful (and free) tools for healing stress and grief·     How fear-based news and entertainment flood your body with cortisol — and what to watch instead·     The surprising benefits of functional mushrooms for midlife women and menopause·     A simple “watch, don't sit” way to meditate when you can't quiet your mind·     How to train your brain toward gratitude, positivity, and childlike wonder

You think some people are just born without fear, but my guest Koa Smith has spent 15 years paddling into waves big enough to kill him, and he'll tell you the opposite: fear never leaves, the whole game is what you do when it shows up. After a reef injury knocked him unconscious underwater and left him eight months numb, depressed, and unable to get a straight answer from a doctor, he clawed his way back with forest time, breathwork, meditation, clean food, and real sleep instead of a prescription. This isn't really a surfing video, it's about the same fear that keeps you from a hard conversation, a new business, or a decision you've been avoiding, and how getting clear lets you finally see through it.

The air shimmered as I walked through the forest, the heavy mists encompassing me in a damp blanket. As my shoes trod on soggy leaves, I took in the quiet serenity of the forest. Many of the trees had begun their annual changing of the colors, painting the canopy in shades of yellow, orange, red and green. Their discarded leaves were already beginning to dot the forest floor in late September. But fallen leaves weren't the only contributors of color on the ground–the fall mushrooms were popping in the Northwoods.

It's our monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics. Joining Marielena and me in the first half of the show today is Marcina Hale, Program Director at Reconsider. She was on the show back in 2019. (Check out show #52 to hear her story). She is an Executive Producer of Fantastic Fungi, Producer of Disturbing the Peace and There is Another Way, and a facilitator for Reconsider's work ”play” shop experiences, which have been held in the U.S. and internationally. Marcina spoke at TEDxKC Women about how to change the world in which we are living. Marcina's vision is to catalyze the creation of experiences that evoke thought and conversations that both challenge and inspire new ways of relating to ourselves and to life itself.There Is Another Way tells the story of a group of visionaries who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice, and in doing so show that another path is possible - for them, for us, for all of humanity. As we are all faced with essential questions about who we are, will we choose collective liberation, where the needs, rights, and safety of all are prioritized - in which our humanity comes first, knowing that no one is free until everyone is free.Combatants for Peace, nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes, is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants -Israelis and Palestinians - working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Faced with the devastation and escalating violence of October 7th and the war in Gaza, the very core of the movement must face great challenges and show that there is another way. The first question they have to face is their own belief... Is this possible?Reconsider is hosting a virtual screening of the film this Thursday, June 12th and an in person screening at the Rosendale Theater on July 25th.Our conversation inspires some deep reflection on what we believe is possible, and what we're doing to hold that vision for peace.Marielena shares info about the upcoming "Voices Unbound," Art Exhibit from incarcerated women at Unison following their Art Spark Program. June 21st opening from 1-5pm. The show will run through July.

Today, I want to talk about humanity's place in the world and making sense of reality in times of tumult and suffering. I've had an internal dilemma about how informed to stay about what's happening in the world. Consuming the news, we undesirably become dervishes of fear from the content oversaturation. Turning away from the content overload, we innocently attempt for self-care, which almost always has a tail of guilt smacking us in the face.So what's one to do when these two extremes are at play? How do we keep a pulse on reality, while also tending to the impacts of overconsumption on our psyche, emotional states, energy system, and physical body?In today's episode, I want to offer a few perspectives on rising in a time of crisis, healing humanity's shared abandonment wound, and shifting from the mindset of scarcity to one of sovereignty.

Can you build a house with mushrooms? You can if you are Chris Maurer, an architect, a mycologist, and a visionary. Chris is the Principal Architect at Redhouse Studio, an architecture firm based in Cleveland, Ohio. Chris and his partners are working to revolutionize how we house ourselves, not with bricks and mortar but with bio-bricks, a carbon-sequestering fusion of fungi mycelium and plant waste. This regenerative, humanitarian-focused "mycotecture" can grow buildings on and off our planet. Mycotecture refers to the use of mushrooms and other fungi for architectural purposes. In this episode, Chris introduces us to the possibilities of the fungi kingdom in creating sustainable building materials. Chris's work is far-reaching. His MycoHAB project in Namibia uses mycotecture to convert waste bush into food and housing. His Off-Planet NIAC project with NASA would convert space radiation into buildings on Mars. Back here in Cleveland, his BioCycler technology promises to recycle dilapidated buildings while remediating our lead problem and rebuilding our city. We are captivated by the power and possibilities of fungi, and you will be too.  Guest:Chris Maurer, Principal Architect at Redhouse Studio ArchitectureResources:Follow Redhouse Studio on Instagram and FacebookMore on the MycoHAB project in NamibiaMore on growing buildings on Mars More on the BioCycler using fungi to remediate waste and rebuild our city.

My guest today is the American Director, producer, and cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg. Louie is recognized as a pioneer in high-end time-lapse cinematography, and his latest film, Fantastic Fungi, displays the magic of Louie's work. We dive deep into Louie's passion for seeing the beauty and connecting with nature. He shares his positive experiences with psychedelics that have brought him closer to himself and the world around him. He has been shooting time-lapse flowers 24 hours a day for over 30 years, and now his work is being used in conjunction with treatments for trauma, along with guided, psychedelic journeys. He once said in a TED talk that "beauty and seduction are nature's tools for survival because we protect what we fall in love with." Enjoy!

In this episode, Joe interviews Louie Schwartzberg: renowned filmmaker known for the award-winning documentary, “Fantastic Fungi”; and now, director of the new film, “Gratitude Revealed.” He talks about his path to photography and filmmaking and how psychedelics were a huge inspiration – how his techniques of slowing down, speeding up, and zooming in were ways to capture the invisible aspects of reality – that which is “too slow, too fast, too small, and too vast for the human eye,” but is always there. He discusses the premiere of “Fantastic Fungi” and the waves it spread through the psychedelic space; The Louie Channel, his new streaming channel that will feature all his work in 4k and the work of other curated artists and friends; and the clinical trial he's involved in to see if participants have better results in the treatment of their alcohol use disorder by watching his imagery set to music on an 80-inch screen while on psilocybin – research that hopefully leads to the concept of being able to prescribe images and music to people based on specific criteria.  He discusses his new film, “Gratitude Revealed,” which explores the power of gratitude: making it a daily practice (and especially a post-psychedelic integration practice), how resilience is one of the best benefits from practicing gratitude, and how easy it is to stop a rumination spiral by simply finding something to be grateful for. He also talks about the blessing of being a photographer and always thinking of beauty; how psychedelics make people more environmentally conscious; tripping with parents; how a shared love of nature could be the bridge between opposing sides; and how the best way to deal with the climate crisis is to start in your own yard.   You can watch “Gratitude Revealed” now, and then, on October 25th, we're hosting a Q+A with Louie Schwartzberg on our Navigators platform. head to psychedelicstoday.com/events for details.

From his own personal experiences growing up with Holocaust survivor parents, to his latest project, Gratitude Revealed, Louie shares how gratitude can lead to a more fulfilling life.  Gratitude has been scientifically proven to have numerous benefits, including reducing stress, increasing happiness, and improving relationships. When we practice gratitude, we shift our focus from what we lack to what we have, which leads to a more positive outlook on life.  Louie also emphasizes the importance of sensory immersive experiences and being in the moment, allowing oneself to savor the present, and discusses the benefits of psilocybin, a type of mushroom that can put you into altered states, which has therapeutic uses including helping cancer patients ease their anxiety and lose their fear of dying. His insights and experiences serve as a reminder of the importance of gratitude in our daily lives and its potential to improve our overall well-being.   Key Takeaways: [01:10] Louie's journey into filmmaking [02:00] Inspiration behind Fantastic Fungi [03:50] Fungi's spiritual and medicinal benefits [05:15] Story behind Gratitude Revealed movie [08:55] The benefits of gratitude according to scientific studies [12:50] Stories of resilience [15:15] Gratitude's impact on Louie on filmmaking [17:20] Beauty's role in survival and motivation [20:25] Importance of sensory immersive experiences [22:15] Being present and expressing gratitude [23:55] Gratitude highlights of Louie's life  [25:10] Louie's spiritual connection to life [26:30] The use of psilocybin in therapeutic purposes [28:55] Psychedelic experiences [32:00] The ability of mushrooms and plant medicines [36:30] The potential of psilocybin and its positive effects   Where to Find Our Guest:  Website Channel: https://www.louiechannel.tv/ Gratitude Revealed: https://gratituderevealed.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louieschwartzberg/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/louiefilms/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/louiefilms   Memorable Quotes: "Sensory immersive experiences is what I relish, and I think we've lost that.

Language disclaimer: this episode includes explicit language so maybe listen with headphones if you're around children.   As you all know, I took a sabbatical last fall. I needed that time to focus on my own growth and healing without having a microphone in my hand. One thing I knew I wanted to experience during my time away from The Refined Collective was a psilocybin journey (aka mushroom journey). I know there are a lot of immediate reactions that come to mind when someone hears something like that. And I know there are a million questions that you want answered. This episode is a deep dive into the 2-day guided mushroom journey, including why I felt at peace with the decision.   It is important to note that I am not a doctor and this experience is not for everybody. But I wanted to share with you what my experience was like.   My Background I come from a family with addiction in it, and so I have always been careful about all substances. On top of that growing up Christian—I assumed anything drug related would be an open doorway for the demonic. For these reasons and so many more, I never thought a mushroom journey would be something I'd do. A few years ago I started hearing rumblings of people I knew micro-dosing mushrooms to support things like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.  Out of curiosity, I started doing some research of my own. Three years into my research, I was presented with an opportunity to take part in a guided journey and I felt ready to do it.   The Basics I checked in with my therapist, my doctor, and my family. Everyone knew I was taking part in this experience. The experience cost $500 and was led by three facilitators and there was a doctor on the premises as well. It felt incredibly safe. The mushrooms themselves were put into a sort of hot chocolate.   The Breakthroughs I felt so held by God during this experience. I knew God was there with me and that I was safe even in the unknown of what this experience would feel like. There was a particular moment from childhood that came up and brought up some heavy and powerful physical reactions.   Resources Join Patreon here!
