What happens when the part of you that's been running your life refuses to let go?

In this deeply personal solo episode, I share my third Bufo experience, the powerful ego death that unfolded, and the surprising realization that I had been resisting this medicine for nearly three years because I was afraid of my own power. We explore survival mode, heart-mind coherence, intuition, Kundalini energy, spiritual evolution, and the profound difference between living from fear versus living from alignment.

This conversation isn't about promoting medicine—it's about sharing a personal experience and the insights that emerged from it. If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in survival mode, or sensed that a more authentic version of you is trying to emerge, this episode may resonate deeply.
