In this episode of MPOWERU, Sarah sits down with healer and retreat facilitator Tara Portelli for a deep conversation about transformation, surrender, and the sacred medicine of psilocybin.

Tara shares how her own unraveling — leaving a marriage, transitioning out of her paramedic career, and moving through grief — led her into a path of indigenous wisdom, personalized retreats, and holding safe containers for profound healing.

Together, Sarah and Tara explore:

• The power of psilocybin therapy in breaking patterns of fear, depression, and trauma
  

• Why intention and integration matter more than “quick fixes”
  

• The role of sound healing, movement, meditation, and hypnotherapy in Tara’s retreats
  

• How psychedelic work can open portals — and why protection and energetic boundaries are vital
  

• The future of psychedelic therapy in mental health and Tara’s upcoming Legacy docu-series
  

This conversation is an invitation to remember who you are, release the masks, and step into deeper self-love and trust.
