— Today we're diving deep into betrayal, infidelity, and the emotional aftermath. Why do people cheat—even when they love their partner? What drives repeated cheating or secret behavior? And most importantly, how can couples heal after trust is broken? Valeria interviews Nicola Beer, a relationship and trauma therapist with over 20 years of experience helping couples and individuals navigate infidelity recovery. Nicola believes that cheating is often a coping mechanism—sometimes even an addiction—and that full recovery is absolutely possible when both people are committed. Today she'll walk us through what really happens emotionally, psychologically, and relationally after betrayal—and how to heal from it. Nicola Beer is also a psychedelic retreat facilitator. She blends sacred plant medicine (primarily Huachuma/San Pedro), somatic therapy, and conscious relationship work to help individuals and couples heal emotional wounds, release stored pain, and reconnect to their inner truth. Nicola runs private healing retreats in Southeast Asia and hosts two podcast shows: Healing with Psychedelics and Relationship Revival. Her work focuses on turning trauma into transformation—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Podcast Healing with Psychedelics.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Jonny Miller, founder of Nervous System Mastery and host of the Curious Humans podcast. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-320/?ref=278  Jonny shares how the loss of his fiancée led him into grief work, psychedelics, and the study of stress physiology. Their conversation explores the three pillars of nervous system mastery—interoception, capacity, and emotional fluidity—and how these skills can prepare and support deeper psychedelic experiences. Jonny also reflects on the risks of hypoarousal and dissociation in psychedelic and breathwork practices, the role of relational health in nervous system regulation, and how high performers can shift from burnout-driven “dirty fuel” toward cleaner sources of creativity and joy. Jonny Miller is the founder of Nervous System Mastery, a five-week experiential training that helps high performers cultivate calm, resilience, and embodied aliveness. His approach blends evidence-based protocols with practices drawn from breathwork, meditation, and stress physiology. Jonny also co-created the Stateshift App and designed the Calm Cards Deck, practical tools for daily nervous system regulation. Jonny hosts the Curious Humans podcast, where he explores themes of resilience, embodiment, and curiosity with leading thinkers. His work centers on making nervous system literacy accessible for both personal growth and psychedelic preparation. Highlights: • How grief and loss opened Jonny to psychedelics • The three pillars of nervous system mastery • Safety as the foundation for psychedelic depth • Breath as a brake or accelerator in journeys • Why he separates psychedelics from intense breathwork • Mapping different medicines to nervous system skills • The risks of shutdown and dissociation in high doses • Re-regulating after destabilizing psychedelic experiences • Relational health as nervous system nourishment • Shifting from burnout to clean energy in leadership Episode Sponsors: Psychedelic Coacing Institute's Intensive for Psychedelic Professionals in Costa Rica - a transformative retreat for personal and professional growth.

Hunter and I had the unexpurgated pleasure of speaking to the former drummer of one of our favorite bands since the mid-'80s, Dead Can Dance. Peter Ulrich joined us to talk about his book "Drumming With Dead Can Dance and Parallel Adventures," which describes how he crossed paths with Brendan Perry & Lisa Gerrard from the band, his experiences while in the band, and his life afterwards. What makes Dead Can Dance's music so important is it's ability to transcend all musical genres whilst utilizing so many within their music. They take music and artistic expression to a new level. It is the pop music of metaphysical philosophers, anthropologists, and astronomers.  Order the book straight from Red Hen Press: https://redhen.org/book_author/peter-ulrich/ Or order it off of our bookshop.org reading list here: https://bookshop.org/lists/episode-related-reading/edit   Find The Melt on… Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-2365404 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMeltPodcast Check out our merch at: https://the-melt.creator-spring.com/   Music by The Godawful Joy: https://thegodawfuljoy.bandcamp.com/releases and Matt Presti: https://www.mattpresti.com/music.html

Psilocybin mushrooms are amazing creatures. An ancient consciousness that has been gathering Earth wisdom and performing energy alchemy for billions of years. How they work in nature is how they work in our bodies. The mycelium network connects, transforms, and transports. It turns death into life. It takes what is no longer needed and creates fertile ground for planting what wants to grow instead.Fungi are literally magic. And the fact that we are able to take these mushrooms into our bodies and brains and experience consciousness beyond the veil is not an accident.They grow everywhere. They are sustainable, accessible, and affordable. Mushrooms have a rich history of healing and helping humans for thousands of years if not longer, across many indigenous lineages, including the Mazatec and Wixárika people of Mexico.Most of the clients I work with are healing with some kind of psilocybin mushrooms. They are easy to grow at home, and are often the most accessible and practical entry point to experiencing psychedelics. They are very safe and don't have the kind of strict requirements around diet and medical guidelines as ayahuasca. They can also be a bit more gentle on the body and system, especially for beginners.In this episode, we'll get to know the energy and Spirit of psilocybin (The Sainted Children) and how you know if they are right for you. This is episode 3 in a series exploring my favorite plant teachers -- Ayahuasca (EP 146), San Pedro (EP 148), and psilocybin mushrooms (EP 149).WORK WITH SINCLAIRNEST Group Integration Membership - https://sinclairfleetwood.com/nest1:1 Private Coaching - https://sinclairfleetwood.com/psychedelic-integrationSubscribe to The Visionary Within weekly newsletter - https://mystical-heart-collective.kit.com/5623fed941FREE Ultimate Guide to Healing with Psychedelics: https://mystical-heart-collective.kit.com/ultimate-guideRetreats: https://sinclairfleetwood.com/events

In this episode, Brent speaks with Dr. Matthew Johnson about the use of psychedelic therapy for enhancing mental health. Dr. Johnson is a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins University and most recently a Senior Investigator in Psychedelics at Sheppard Pratt further.

In this episode Steven Zeiler, MD, PhD joins to discuss the promise of psychedelics for stroke healing. Dr. Zeiler is an associate professor and physician at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine specializing in cerebrovascular disease, including acute stroke therapy, prevention, and recovery. He is a lead investigator for a Rose Hill Life Sciences research trial, conducted in partnership with Johns Hopkins University, exploring the use of psilocybin-assisted therapy to enhance motor function in patients with neurological injuries. In this conversation, Dr. Zeiler explains that after a stroke, there is a natural but time-limited critical period during which the brain is highly plastic and capable of repairing motor function. His research, inspired by work on psychedelics reopening critical learning windows, shows in animal models that a single high dose of psychedelics combined with intensive rehabilitation can restore lost motor abilities even after recovery has plateaued. Throughout, Dr. Zeiler emphasizes that psilocybin itself doesn't heal the brain directly but creates a window of heightened neuroplasticity that, when paired with targeted therapy, may dramatically improve recovery outcomes for stroke survivors.   In this episode, you'll hear: What happens to patients during a stroke The critical period of stroke recovery and how psychedelics may reopen this opportunity Why conducting a safety and tolerability study of psilocybin for stroke patients is crucial What forms of deficits and recoveries Dr. Zeiler's study will measure  Dr. Zeiler's speculations on what integrating psychedelic treatments into stroke medicine could look like The importance of specialized interventions that take advantage of the critical recovery period   Quotes: “What has been a little forgotten about in a lot of stroke management situations is helping the person get over the deficits with which the stroke has left them. And if you can't move an arm, you can't move a leg, that's a big deal. And we are not quite as good at addressing some of those problems.” [5:11]  “[The potential of psychedelics for stroke recovery] is probably less about addressing the injury itself and more about helping the remaining parts of the brain turn on to address what's lost.” [7:36] “We're not suggesting that the psychedelic itself has some sort of magical property that would just repair the brain, but it primes the situation to allow that input that we then provide over the next many days, many weeks, to affect a recovery.” [13:31] “Imagine something as complicated as the brain going through a repair mechanism: could you imagine one molecule acting on one receptor being able to affect a recovery? I couldn't imagine that—it's too complicated a thing. And so having something like a mechanism of action that is acting through multiple pathways, I think has to be the case if we're going to affect something as complicated as brain repair.” [17:30]   Links: Dr. Zeiler on LinkedIn Super Room for Enriched Neurological Repair at Green Spring (SENRG) PHATHOM (Psychedelic Healing: Adjunct Therapy Harnessing Opened Malleability)-Stroke Project Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

You are in for a dose of inspiration in this episode of Raise the Line as we introduce you to a rare disease patient who was a leading force in establishing the diagnosis for her own condition, who played a key role in launching the first phase three clinical trials for it, and who is now coordinating research into the disease and related disorders at one of the nation's top hospitals. Rebecca Salky, RN, was first afflicted at the age of four with MOGAD, an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system that can cause paralysis, vision loss and seizures. In this fascinating conversation with host Lindsey Smith, Rebecca describes her long and challenging journey with MOGAD, her work at the Neuroimmunology Clinic and Research Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, and the importance of finding a MOGAD community in her early twenties. “There's a sense of power and security when you have others on your side. You're not alone in this journey of the rare disease,” she explains. Be sure to stay tuned to learn about Rebecca's work in patient advocacy, her experience as a nurse, and the three things she thinks are missing in the care of rare disease patients as our Year of the Zebra series continues.Mentioned in this episode:The MOG ProjectNeuroimmunology Clinic & Research Lab at Mass General If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Part 2: Chills vs. Pills: The Future of Mental Health | Prof Nicco Reggente. Show Notes What if a simple shiver down your spine could heal depression, rewire belief, and even rival psychedelics in transforming the mind? In Part 2 of my conversation with Professor Nicco Reggente, we dive into the most disruptive neuroscience you've probably never heard of: the power of aesthetic chills. These goosebump-inducing moments, triggered by music, film, or human connection, aren't just emotional fireworks. Nicco's groundbreaking research shows they can: Restore the capacity for pleasure in patients where drugs fail Dissolve ego and unlock self-transcendence in ways that rival psychedelics Rewire maladaptive beliefs and reduce depression below clinical thresholds—sometimes in a single session Shape political extremes and social belonging, for better and for worse . This is not just about goosebumps. It's about discovering whether chills are the most democratic and accessible tool for human flourishing—and the dangerous ways they can also be weaponized in cults, polarization, and extremist movements. . If you lead at the highest level, you cannot ignore what this means: the same nervous system mechanism that can heal can also manipulate. Understanding it may be the next frontier in leadership, influence, and human performance. In this episode, Professor Nicco Reggente and I explore: Why concerts, stadiums, and shared rituals dissolve ego into collective transcendence The dark side: how chills can fuel extremism, brainwashing, and polarization New research shows liberals and conservatives experience chills differently How AI-driven “schema surgery” videos create one-shot breakthroughs in depression Why chills may restore hedonic tone (pleasure) in anhedonic patients where pharmaceuticals fail How chills mirror psychedelic therapies—without the risks or stigma Why leaders who understand chills can harness empathy, belonging, and transformation at scale     About Professor Nicco Reggente Research Director, Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies Specialist in non-ordinary states, belief updating, and applied neuroscience Innovator in AI-driven, personalized therapeutic interventions Author of breakthrough studies linking chills to depression, politics, and empathy Website https://advancedconsciousness.org/ https://advancedconsciousness.org/member/nicco-reggente/ Social Media https://www.linkedin.com/in/nreggente/     https://x.com/mobiuscydonia

Joe Ziolkowski, CEO of Relm Insurance delves into the evolving landscape of insurance for emerging and high-risk industries. They specifically addressed the significant insurance gaps for THC beverages and the prevalent underinsurance within the broader cannabis sector. Ziolkowski highlighted Relm Insurance's strategic diversification within the cannabis market, expanding its operations and achieving 50-state Managing General Agent (MGA) status to enhance accessibility and direct engagement with clients.The discussion also covered critical issues like climate change risks impacting cannabis cultivation, underscoring the necessity of robust data collection and compliance for accurate risk modeling and premium setting. Ziolkowski emphasized that meeting higher compliance standards, such as GMP, can lead to more favorable insurance terms. The conversation further explored the regulatory complexities of insuring new products like THC beverages, where traditional product liability may not suffice, and the nascent psychedelics industry, where Relm aims to facilitate business models by finding viable coverage solutions.We learn about Relm Insurance's deliberate expansion into the AI insurance sector, a move Ziolkowski explained as a natural progression due to the similarities in underwriting new and emerging risks, including data governance challenges and underdeveloped legislative frameworks. He also noted AI's potential to improve efficiency in cannabis, such as in precision farming.Ziolkowski concluded by stressing Relm's core vision of "making innovation resilient" and their long-term commitment to supporting forward-looking industries like cannabis, psychedelics, and AI, distinguishing them in the insurance market through their dedication to these sectors.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Relational Healing, Neuroplasticity, and the Power of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: An Interview with Dr. Alexa Altman, Ph.D. and Shira Myrow, LMFT In this episode, Curt and Katie chat with Dr. Alexa Altman and Shira Myrow, LMFT, about psychedelic-assisted therapy and how it supports trauma healing, neuroplasticity, and relational transformation. They explore how these treatments work, what integration really means, and how therapists can ethically and safely engage with this emerging field. About our guests:Dr. Alexa Altman and Shira Myrow, MFT, are co-founders of iPsychedelic Therapy. With backgrounds in trauma-informed psychology, spiritual counseling, and relational healing, they offer a holistic approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy that centers ethical care, integration, and transformational growth. Key takeaways: Psychedelics are not shortcuts—they act as amplifiers and accelerants in trauma work. Integration is a crucial part of psychedelic-assisted therapy and often overlooked. Clinicians must examine their own biases and seek robust training. Some clients are not appropriate for these treatments due to fragility or lack of therapeutic background. A safe therapeutic container, rigorous consent, and preparation are essential. Regulatory frameworks are still emerging and need clinician involvement.

In this week's episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor hands the mic to legendary rock frontman Keith Caputo (formerly Mina Caputo), who delivers an unfiltered, soul-baring monologue about his de-transitioning journey, gender dysphoria, and reclaiming masculine identity. After nearly 20 years of living as a trans woman, Keith shares why he walked away from hormone therapy, breast implants, and the illusion that transitioning would heal his deep-rooted trauma. He dives into the psychological, spiritual, and physical costs of medical transition, exposing what the mainstream won't say about gender ideology, identity confusion, and pharmaceutical agendas. Best known as the iconic voice of Life of Agony, Keith holds nothing back as he speaks candidly for most of the episode, dropping truth bombs on trauma, gender politics, the music industry, cancel culture, and why real healing starts from within. This episode is raw, controversial, and requires listening for anyone questioning the dominant narrative around gender identity. Episode Highlights: de-transitioning, gender ideology, trauma healing, magic mushrooms, radical authenticity, music industry truth, cancel culture, spiritual awakening, hormonal side effects, cultural programming, psychedelic therapy, reactive attachment disorder       Takeaways:   Fearlessness and authenticity attract true collaborators The music industry rewards conformity, not raw talent Trauma often underlies gender dysphoria and identity shifts Psychedelics can help heal deep-rooted emotional wounds The medical system is creating lifelong patients, not healing Cultural trends are driven by profit, not truth True empowerment comes from within, not external surgery   If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Part 1:  The Science of Chills: Unlocking Human Flourishing. | Prof Nicco Reggente. Why "The Matrix" became a cultural “chills” moment Show Notes What if the secret to rewiring your leadership and your life wasn't another strategy or habit—but the moment that sends chills down your spine? . Professor Nicco Reggente is pioneering one of the most radical frontiers in neuroscience: decoding non-ordinary states of consciousness to unlock human flourishing, upgrade belief systems, and rewire identity itself. . This isn't theory; it's the cutting edge of science meeting leadership. Professor Nicco Reggente is the Research Director at the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies, where his work blends meditation, VR, neurofeedback, and machine learning to reveal how we can break free from the trance of the ordinary and step into states of clarity, empathy, and transformation. . In this first part of our two-part conversation, we dismantle the myths about resilience, expose why humans cling to toxic familiarity, and explore why aesthetic chills- those shivers you can't ignore, might be the nervous system's hidden code for transformation. . If you've ever felt a piece of music, film, or moment strike you so profoundly that it rearranged your inner world, this episode will show you why that reaction isn't random. It's your body telling you the truth your mind can't yet speak. In this episode, you'll discover: Why most leaders misunderstand resilience—and what it really demands How non-ordinary states of consciousness can accelerate human flourishing The hidden cost of clinging to the familiar, even when it destroys us Why maladaptive beliefs are actually survival codes—and how to evolve them The neuroscience of chills as a diagnostic tool for belief and identity How insight moments are physical, not just mental—and why that matters for power and decision-making Why The Matrix became a cultural “chills” moment—and what that reveals about consensus reality About Professor Nicco Reggente Research Director, Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies Leading the global research on belief updating and identity through neuroscience Former UCLA lecturer in functional neuroimaging Innovator in personalized neuroscience, VR, and machine learning for human transformation Website https://advancedconsciousness.org/ https://advancedconsciousness.org/member/nicco-reggente/ Social Media https://www.linkedin.com/in/nreggente/     https://x.com/mobiuscydonia

The psychedelic revolutionWill LSD, Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine treatments live up to the hype?For decades, psychedelics were derided as dangerous recreational drugs; now many claim they have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of mental health. With hundreds of clinical trials now taking place, the psychedelic therapeutic market is predicted to be over ten billion within the decade. It has been widely thought that psychedelics are effective at treating mental health because of the way they change brain chemistry. But studies from King's College London and Johns Hopkins suggest this is an error, arguing that it's the psychedelic experience that aids mental wellbeing, not the physical brain changes.Should we stop focussing on brain chemistry as the solution to mental health? What is it about psychedelic experience that can aid mental well being and will psychedelics live up to their promise and usher in a mental health renaissance? Or is the hype bubble about to burst and should we look elsewhere for the silver bullet to the mental health crisis of our age?Matthew Johnson is Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Johns Hopkins University. Shayla Love is a freelance reporter and former senior science writer at Vice News, focusing on psychedelics. Kevin Sabet is the founder of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, and he has been described as the "quarterback of the new anti-drug movement".Don't hesitate to email us at podcast@iai.tv with your thoughts or questions on the episode!To witness such debates live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Your dopamine system is being hijacked every day, and the way to reclaim it might surprise you. This episode reveals how pain, pleasure, and addiction are wired in your brain, and how to use that knowledge for real brain optimization, resilience, and longevity. You'll discover why your dopamine levels control motivation, focus, mood, and even cravings—and the science-backed strategies that reset your neuroplasticity, metabolism, and reward system. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anna Lembke, Stanford psychiatrist and bestselling author of Dopamine Nation. She is one of the world's leading experts on addiction, compulsive behavior, and the neuroscience of reward pathways. With decades of clinical work and groundbreaking research, she explains why dopamine has become the modern lens for understanding desire, distraction, and dysfunction—and how we can hack it to upgrade human performance. They break down how dopamine drives addiction, why pain can reset your reward system, and how simple practices like fasting, cold therapy, and supplements affect your brain chemistry. You'll learn how nicotine, GLP-1 drugs, and even nootropics alter dopamine sensitivity, and why overstimulation from social media, pornography, and ultra-processed food is creating an epidemic of anhedonia. The conversation also covers how functional medicine and biohacking can protect your mitochondria, restore your natural dopamine balance, and make your brain more resilient. You'll Learn: • Why dopamine itself is not addictive—and what really drives addiction • How pain, hormesis, and “dopamine fasting” can reset your reward system • Why social media and digital overstimulation create chronic dopamine deficit states • The role of GLP-1 drugs, nicotine, psychedelics, and other substances in rewiring dopamine • How functional medicine and supplements help restore dopamine balance • The connection between dopamine, mitochondria, fasting, cold therapy, and longevity • Why radical honesty and self-binding are powerful anti-addiction hacks This is essential listening for anyone serious about hacking dopamine for better focus, sleep optimization, metabolism, and long-term brain health. Whether you're curious about the link between dopamine and neuroplasticity, looking to upgrade human performance with smarter not harder tools, or just want to know how to stop dopamine hijacks from ruling your life, this episode gives you the science and strategies you need.

“You have to love what you do, especially in healthcare, and the earlier you find that, the better. So that's why I love to see HOSA helping young people find what it is that they want to do,” says Dr. David Kelly, a fellow in oculofacial surgery at University of California San Francisco and HOSA's board chair. You can still hear the excitement in Dr. Kelly's voice describing his earliest experiences with HOSA -- a student led organization with 300,000 plus members that prepares future health professionals to become leaders in international health – even though they happened sixteen years ago when he was a sophomore in highschool. Through hundreds of competitive events and hands-on projects, HOSA creates a framework for developing skills in communication, professionalism and leadership starting in middle school. Programs are offered throughout highschool and college as well, which Dr. Kelly took advantage of before becoming an active alumnus and joining the HOSA board as a way of giving back to an organization that has given so much to him. Since taking the reins as board chair last year, one key focus has been preparing to mark HOSA's 50th anniversary in 2026. Dr. Kelly sees the occasion as not only an opportunity to celebrate what HOSA has accomplished, but to ensure it is positioned to continue helping the healthcare industry tackle important challenges in the future. Examples include chronic workforce shortages and improving how clinicians communicate with patients and team members.  Join host Lindsey Smith on this uplifting Raise the Line episode for an optimistic look at the next generation of healthcare leaders.Mentioned in this episode:HOSAHOSA Alumni Registration If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Summary In this episode of Good Dudes Grow, host Gary Roberts discusses the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science in healing trauma, particularly for veterans and first responders. Joined by guests Scott and Christina, they explore the importance of mental health awareness, the courage to seek help, and the role of community and plant medicine in recovery. The conversation emphasizes the need for ongoing support and the potential for renewal in the face of trauma, highlighting personal journeys and the importance of communication in healing. Takeaways The courage to renew is essential for first responders Trauma can lead to feelings of disconnection and isolation. Reaching out for help takes real courage. Mental health symptoms can be subtle and gradual. Community support is crucial for healing. Plant medicine can play a role in trauma recovery. Communication with loved ones is vital during healing. Renewal is about returning to one's true self. Preventative measures can help avoid mental health crises. Understanding individual symptoms is key to addressing mental health.

From the Rave Scene to Psychedelic Therapy In this episode, Kyle Buller speaks with Matt Xavier, DJ, therapist, and author. The conversation took place live at Psychedelic Science. Matt recalls his early years in the rave culture of 1990s New York. He ran record labels, hosted psychedelic trance events, and lived through the intensity of that scene. Why Music Is Medicine Matt believes music should be treated as medicine. He explains how playlists can align with the stages of a psychedelic journey—onset, climb, peak, and descent. He encourages people to listen with intention and to categorize tracks by emotion, energy, and therapeutic impact. Psychedelic Soundtracking Instead of relying only on fixed playlists, Matt performs live mixing during sessions. This method keeps him fully engaged and responsive. He calls the approach “psychedelic soundtracking.” In his view, the guide becomes a tuning fork, adjusting the soundscape to match the client's process. Key Themes in the Conversation The evolution from rave DJ to therapist and author How music amplifies psychedelics, and why it matters Matching music with each stage of a journey Differences between psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine work The value of silence, long-form tracks, and harmonic mixing Why buying music supports artists and protects creativity from AI Practical tips for building playlists and rediscovering a love of listening Supporting Artists and Building Community Matt highlights the artists who inspire his work, from ambient pioneers to contemporary sound designers. He urges practitioners to support independent musicians by purchasing their music. In his words, keeping human creativity alive is essential for meaningful psychedelic work. Writing, Mixing, and the Future Matt also discusses his new book and the curated four-hour DJ protocol mix he designed for therapy sessions. He explains how this project grew into a collaborative effort and why writing became a spiritual journey for him. Looking ahead, he hopes to create a training program for others interested in weaving music into psychedelic practice.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.

In the gripping final installment of the Mike Drop Podcast with Chuck Hayes, a 40-year Navy SEAL veteran, we dive into the profound intersections of military discipline, spiritual awakening, and post-service purpose. Chuck reflects on the non-democratic nature of military life, the weight of command, and the responsibility to lead with trust and empathy. He shares a transformative near-death experience induced during a medical training course, revealing a cosmic perspective on life, death, and existence itself. From encounters with divine laughter to haunting dreams and past-life regressions, Chuck unravels his journey through the psychedelic medicine, shamanic visions, and hypnotherapy—that reshaped his understanding of reality, faith, and human suffering. Now, through his work with Soft Whisper, Chuck channels these experiences to help veterans and civilians alike heal from trauma, find purpose, and navigate the complexities of the human soul. This episode is a raw, mind-bending exploration of leadership, spirituality, and the eternal quest for meaning.
