Levi Barker, a tech entrepreneur who traded silicon valley for the rich Costa Rican rainforests, speaks about his transformative journey with Iboga, an ancient plant medicine. Levi unpacks his experience at the Iboga Wellness Center, where he's dedicated the last 13 years of his life, and shares how Iboga has guided him to his inner wisdom. This plant medicine's healing power is now being recognized for its potential in helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and more.

  • Are you a hero? Not the cape-wearing, crime-fighting kind, but the kind who's always there for others, even at the expense of your own well-being? This week, we're shining a spotlight on the 'Hero Syndrome' - an often rewarding yet emotionally draining pattern that can lead to self-neglect. We tackle the complexities of this syndrome, that stems from an innate desire to find purpose by aiding others, but is often deeply rooted in a lack of self-love. We’ll traverse the terrain of self-forgiveness, self-love, and the undeniable necessity of inner child work to truly nurture personal growth.

    And there’s more. Pause, breathe out, and be prepared to delve into the art of self-preservation. We'll explore how to create pockets of stillness amidst the chaos of life, guide you through the enchanting world of meditation, and reveal the transformational power of connecting with nature. The healing impact of self-love will be our compass as we weave our way through these topics. This is not just another podcast episode, but an invitation to self-reflection, self-discovery, and, ultimately, self-healing. Together, let's illuminate our path back home.
