In this deeply personal episode, I share the vulnerable journey of how I was able to navigate the illness & death of my Stepmother Kirsty through the powerful healings and teachings of plant medicine.

At two very different moments in this journey, Ayahuasca and Huachuma ceremonies helped me move through grief, anger, compassion, and ultimately into a deeper respect for each person’s sovereignty in their healing and dying process.

This experience transformed the way I understand caregiving, loss, and what it truly means to walk beside someone at the threshold between life and death.

• the emotional reality of caregiving within family dynamics
• powerful teachings I received in ceremony during this time
• how I worked with the power of my heart to transmute anger into compassion
• lessons about respecting personal sovereignty in health and death
• how different forms of grief can transform into love and understanding

✨ supporting someone through illness
✨ grieving the loss of a loved one
✨ feeling overwhelmed by caregiving responsibilities
✨ curious how plant medicine can support emotional and spiritual healing
✨ learning how to hold compassion without abandoning yourself

My hope is that this story helps you feel less alone if you’re walking this path too. 🌹

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg Moran to explore the sacred art of healing with master plants. We dive into his incredible story of healing ulcerative colitis with cannabis oil—after being told by doctors there was no cure—and share our own journeys of growth and evolution through working with the power of master plants in a dieta/diet container.

Together, we uncover the deeper layers of awakening, devotion, and integrity that come from walking the path of the plants.

Through stories and insights, Greg and I illuminate how the plants serve as wise elders, guiding us back into harmony with nature, self, and the divine. We explore what it means to live in right relation with the Earth, the humbling lessons of patience and surrender, and how breathwork and integration help anchor the teachings of the plants into daily life.

✨ Topics explored:

• The power and spirit of cannabis oil in healing
• How master plants teach devotion, humility, and integrity
• Why patience is a core part of the plant path
• The importance of integration after ceremony
• How breathwork connects us to presence and the divine
• Remembering that nature provides everything we need

Tune in to remember that the plants are not just medicine—they are ancient teachers awakening humanity to live with greater love, reverence, and truth.
