Psilocybin and MDMA-assisted therapy helped me uncover the root of my shame and guilt. But it also led me to question every belief I held and where those beliefs came from. Pulling on that thread unraveled my entire sense of reality. From the outside, my life might look chaotic—but I’ve never felt more whole.

When done with the right professionals who really understand set and setting—and are there to support you the whole way through—it’s a completely different experience than using these substances recreationally. I feel really lucky to have had access to that kind of care, and I genuinely hope we see more clinical trials and wider acceptance soon.

This one hits deep.

That space between who you are and who you could be—that’s where the real fight happens. Not against the world, but against yourself.

You know you have the talent. You know you can do more. And yet, something holds you back. The fear of stepping up. The weight of responsibility that comes with fully embracing your potential. The question of, What if I go all in and still fail?

But the real nightmare isn’t failure. It’s waking up years from now, carrying the dull, unbearable weight of knowing you never really tried.

So, are you ready to trust yourself enough to let it change you? Because nothing else will.
