Marie and Adam get vulnerable and go deep — sharing their personal psilocybin journeys as a couple navigating trauma, generational patterns, and major life transitions. From setting intentions to facing their darkest fears in the experience itself, they walk through what it's really like to pursue psychedelic-assisted healing in a therapeutic setting. Raw, honest, and not what you'd expect.

Full Show Notes:

In this episode, Marie and Adam open up about something they've never shared publicly — their individual psilocybin journeys and what led them there.

After years of therapy, major life transitions, advocating for their kids through serious health challenges, and leaving a fourth-generation family business, both found themselves stuck. Talk therapy could only go so far. So they each worked with a licensed guide in a legal therapeutic setting to explore what plant medicine could unlock.

What they cover:

• Why they each decided to pursue psilocybin therapy after years of traditional talk therapy

• The role of shame, generational trauma, and self-sabotage in holding entrepreneurs back

• How to set intentions (and why turning them into expectations will derail you)

• What Marie's experience was like — and why guardedness was her biggest barrier

• Adam's two sessions: descending into a hellscape the first time, and going even deeper the second

• Why the healing happened after the experience, not during it

• The "confidence gap" and why entrepreneurs pushing outside their comfort zone need emotional tools, not just business strategy

Resources mentioned:

• How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan

• Tim Ferriss's work on psychedelics and PTSD treatment for veterans
