As we swing into the weekend (and I prep for tonight’s ayahuasca ceremony), I’d like to pose an idea to you: What if there are no limits? No limits to the amount of money you can make. No limits to the number of people you can serve. No limits to the happiness, joy, purpose and … Continue reading
Daily Growler David asks: No food or water for the first five days? That’s crazy. Is that legitimate? A cursory search on Google said that the brain starts to shut down if you don’t have water for that long. I know it sounds crazy but I didn’t explain it correctly (my bad 🤦♂️). For the sake … Continue reading
School is about thinking, writing, books and exams 👩🏫 We’re taught to give the “right” answer according to a teacher or a book… not to feel for the right answer. Where is the class on trusting your gut instincts? On emotional intelligence? On how to regulate your fight-or-flight response?

I’m editing this week’s podcast episode with psychedelic embodiment coach Kat Courtney (from The Plant Medicine People) and she said something fascinating: “We can’t think our way to a calmer nervous system.” That is… Going from fight-or-flight mode (where most people live) to rest-and-digest mode (the promised land) isn’t about thinking 🤨 Sure, thinking helps you … Continue reading
I’m a big fan of simplicity (and The Lord of the Rings 💍). I remember a few years ago, I discovered a couple of guys who talked about a pyramid in relationship to losing weight, lifting weights and bulking up. They called it the “The Pyramid of Nutrition Priorities” and I LOVED how simple it … Continue reading
In my experience, most people don’t know how to deal with anger. That’s why there’s typically 2 dysfunctional ways that the average person deals with anger: The First Way – Suppression 🧘♂️ This person holds their anger in because they believe they shouldn’t express it, that it’s not safe to express it, that anger isn’t … Continue reading

Seth Lyon is the first person I met in the nervous system healing world. I discovered him after punching “TRE vs somatic experiencing” into Google. That led me … Continue reading
Continuing on from this week’s email on why conspiracy theories are a waste of time, energy and brain space… Daily Beast subscriber Almog says: Conspiracy theories are one thing but reading the news is honestly as bad and people have similarly stupid reasons to do it… And it’s meaningless and useless just like [conspiracy theories]. I agree … Continue reading
