In this episode, I’m finally sharing the part of my ibogaine story that no one really talks about — the calling, the curiosity, the preparation, and the unraveling that happened long before I ever stepped foot in Mexico.

It all began in January 2025 with a Joe Rogan episode… and a moment that shifted everything for me and my husband.

Today, I walk you through:

✨ Why I said yes to ibogaine even when I didn’t think I needed healing

✨ How the medicine began calling me before I even understood it

✨ The emotional rollercoaster of preparing for treatment

✨ What happened when the center went silent and fear finally showed up

✨ Meeting my preparation coach and learning what ibogaine really does

✨ My raw and vulnerable burn list — everything I wanted to release

✨ The intentions I hoped to gain, and how they became questions for the medicine

✨ The altar I created, the meaning behind every item, and why it mattered

✨ The final week before we left: the Zoom calls, the packing, the nerves, the excitement

This episode lays the foundation for everything that comes next.

Next week, in Episode 9, I’ll take you with me to Mexico —

the house, the people, the emotions,

and the two days that softened me into the deepest healing of my life.

If you’ve ever felt the medicine calling you…

or you’ve been curious about the process before an ibogaine journey…

this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Let’s peel back the first layer together.
