Healing is often presented as a straightforward path: visit the doctor, take the prescribed medication, follow the treatment plan. But what if true healing is far more complex—deeply rooted in both the mind and body?In this episode, I sit down with Payton Nyquvest, founder and CEO of Numinus, to explore the intersection of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, and the ancient wisdom that modern medicine often overlooks.We'll discuss how psychedelics influence neuroplasticity and memory processing, why they are not a shortcut to healing but rather a tool for deeper self-awareness, and the crucial distinction between therapeutic and recreational use. Payton also breaks down the mechanisms behind trauma storage in the body and how intentional psychedelic-assisted therapy may help unlock profound healing.As a leader in the integration of psychedelics into healthcare, Payton brings a grounded, evidence-based perspective to a topic that is often misunderstood. Whether you're curious about the science behind these therapies or simply seeking a deeper understanding of how to reconnect with yourself, this conversation offers invaluable insights.We Also Discuss:(00:00) Psychedelics and Ancient Wellness Integration(06:43) Daily Wellness Practices and Psychedelic Therapy(13:18) Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelic Therapy(21:25) Psychedelic Therapy(28:07) Healing Through Psychedelic Experiences(40:58) Psychedelic Therapy and the Science(50:35) Transformative Potential of Psychedelic Therapy(01:03:33) DMT Healing Ceremonies in TulumThank you to our sponsorFatty 15: Fatty15 is on a mission to optimize your C15:0 levels and help you live healthier, longer.

We often bring up the idea of humanity on this show, exploring the anthropology of it all with the creative industry as our backdrop. When sitting down to speak with the absolutely lovely Francesca Burns about her journey - and all of the people, places, and things that have shaped it - we have the opportunity to go beyond the obvious and touch on the human interest of it all. From her early days with Kylie Minogue, the prolific career she's enjoyed working across titles and brands like i-D, British Vogue, Italian Vogue, Self Service, Beyond Noise, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Nensi Dojaka and her own magazine, PRINT, Burns takes us on an even more holistic journey in this conversation as we move past the obvious benchmarks and begin to explore possibility through the unlimited power source that is inspiration. "You can't bend and shape yourself to meet other people's expectations. It's absolutely impossible. And what each of us has is completely unique to us. How we see the world is completely unique to us. I think there's no limit to what we can do if we're inspired." - Fran Burns Episode Highlights: Fran's career in fashion first began in music when she assisted the creative director for Kylie Minogue.  Finding her way into the fashion side more officially, Fran started working in PR, where she discovered that styling and magazines were what really lit her up. Prolific stylists such as Joe McKenna, Alex White, and Jonathan Kaye were among those Fran assisted as she came up in the industry. After deciding that the format of most magazines felt ripe for change, Fran, along with her friend and collaborator Christopher Simmonds, decided it was time to start their own project, PRINT. Emphasizing the importance of viewing the necessary changes around sustainability as an evolution rather than a revolution, Fran reminds us to focus on progress rather than perfection as we all work together to achieve lasting and meaningful change. Deciding to study nutrition, Fran discovered the holistic approach to life as something that went beyond personal routines and lifestyle choices, eventually qualifying as a transformational coach. Refusing to be relegated to any one role, Fran is a stylist, consultant, creative director, publisher, and mentor, viewing this variety of creative outputs as an integral part of who she is. Working with both individuals and brand clients, Fran's coaching has provided her with a way to bridge the gap between where we are and where we want to go, helping people realize they have the capacity to take the necessary steps toward achieving their goals. Fran points out that it's impossible to shape and bend ourselves to the expectations of others, suggesting instead that we should lean into whatever lights us up, even if it's outside of the industry we've chosen. If it's feeding us, it's also opening up our point of view even more. Leaving us with a simple yet powerful message, Fran believes that there is no limit to what we can do as long as we are inspired.

I am delighted to have my dear friend Harmony Slater on the podcast with me today. Harmony is one of the most honest and down-to-earth people I know and one of the most advanced yoga practitioners in the world. She and I share a history of traveling to India over the last 20 years to deepen our yoga practices. Harmony is a powerhouse with a great sense of humor. She is a mom, a National Board-Certified Life and Business Coach, a Spinal Energetics practitioner, and a yoga teacher. In this episode, we dive into her daily routines, the evolution of yoga over 25 years, and what it feels like to navigate aging and transformative personal work. Stay tuned. You will not want to miss this deep and meaningful conversation with Harmony Slater.Yoga BackgroundHer studies in philosophy and Eastern religions shaped Harmony's early understanding of yoga. She first encountered yoga in 1995 and experimented casually by attending classes here and there. Back then, she viewed yoga as a spiritual practice, a set of physical and meditative tools to connect with the divine reality or self-awareness. After nearly 25 years of practice, however, she describes yoga as far more than tools or practices. It has evolved into a way of being for her, shaping how she interacts with herself, others, and the world around her. Navigating Life Transitions with YogaYoga acts as a bridge, connecting the calm of inner stillness with the challenges of everyday life. Regular practice builds resilience and cultivates discipline, which you can apply to everyday responsibilities like making breakfast, driving kids to school, or managing work. Over time, yoga becomes less about long, immersive sessions and more about adapting its principles to the rhythm of life, enabling practitioners to approach challenges with grace and presence.Facing Identity and Letting Go of AchievementYoga provides an opportunity to explore the identity beyond external accomplishments as the process involves confronting emotions, navigating uncertainties, and embracing shifts in self-perception. Harmony turned to spiritual coaching to support her yoga journey, incorporating somatic awareness and energy work to foster greater self-understanding.The Transformative Journey of ConsciousnessYoga brings awareness to previously ignored parts of the body and mind, releasing stored emotions and patterns. While early stages of practice feel transformational, long-term practice leads to subtler but equally profound insights. Yoga and the Trance StatePracticing Ashtanga Yoga often creates a trance state, where the yoga practitioner experiences deep focus and heightened sensations.
