On this soul-stirring episode of Vinally High, Drew Beats and BJ Buds close out a special mid-season trilogy with a returning guest who brings all the vibes—healer, yogi, energy worker, and Drew's partner-in-life, Aletheia Kordula. From healing touch to high-frequency vibrations, this episode dives deep into spiritual growth, the power of the liminal space, and the cosmic push of the Aquarius season.

The crew sips on Tee AcH Cee-infused beverages and shares how cannabis can elevate both mindset and mood—especially in the bedroom (yeah, it gets personal). Aletheia opens up about her journey to becoming a Reiki Master, how distance energy healing works, and why tapping into your intuition might just be your greatest medicine.

The team also explores the resurgence of vinyl, the nostalgic comeback of cassettes, and spins the classic Mary J. Blige album "What's the 411?" while reflecting on R&B's lasting power.

Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode will leave you feeling seen, energized, and maybe just a little bit high.

🎧 Tune in and vibrate higher.

In this soulful and deeply vibey mid-season episode, Drew Beats and BJ Buds welcome Kimberly, founder of Elev8 Earth, into their living room-turned-studio for a conversation that flows as naturally as the plant medicine she champions.

Kimberly dives into her dual passion for holistic wellness and ritualistic self-care, walking us through the two branches of her business: Prana Pedals, her handcrafted line of smokable and sippable herbal blends, and her flower-friendly yoga experiences designed to bring body, breath, and plant into deep alignment. She shares her personal story of healing from long COVID using mullein leaf, why sativa strains help her stay focused and awake, and how ancient practices and intentionality are woven into everything she creates—from her teas to her sound baths (yes, complete with live flute!).

The crew vibe out over TLC’s CrazySexyCool on vinyl, go deep into topics like plant-based healing, the spiritual origins of smoking rituals, and the unintentional brilliance of early 2000s anti-drug PSAs. Expect lots of laughs, a few tangents (hello coffee bean origin stories), and a heartfelt celebration of healing, empowerment, and community.

Plus: Local shout-outs, upcoming events, and where you can find Kimberly’s products and classes around Charlotte!
