    Listen in now as our guest, integrative psychiatrist and neuroscientist, Dr. Helen Lavretsky, discusses Living from the Soul: The Neuroscience of Spiritual Awakening. In her book, Helen explores the intersection of spirituality and neuroscience—utilizing both to optimize spiritual and mental health. She shows that the evolution of the Soul is the purpose of life. Drawing on the latest research and examples from her clinical practice, Helen helps you know and embody your Soul—a union that provides inner guidance, peace, balance, happiness, and an opportu­nity to reach your highest potential.

    Helen aims to put the psyche (soul) back into psychology using a proven methodol­ogy. She offers a combined approach of psychological and mind-body practices that enable you to control reactive behavior and reconnect with higher Consciousness. She gives guid­ance on how to navigate challenges and spiritual emergencies, such as the Dark Night of the Soul, with enhanced intuitive abilities and clarity.

This will increase your ability to reduce stress, regulate negative emotions, improve your brain health, and cultivate gratitude, compassion, and joy by living a truly authentic life. Living from the Soul allows us to incorporate the neuroscience of spiritual awakening into our lives to alleviate depression and anxiety, enhance resilience, and gain a consis­tent sense of serenity and well-being.

  • Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging, with Abbie Rosner

    Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging, with Abbie Rosner


    August 12, 2026

    Listen in now as our guest, Abbie Rosner, discusses Psychedelics and the Counterculture of AgingWhen author Abbie Rosner turned 60, she decided to celebrate with a magic mushroom journey. Almost forty years had passed since her last psychedelic experience. But as Abbie shows in her book, journeying with the maturity of older age is an entirely different story.

    In compelling personal stories, more than 30 older psychonauts share how their psychedelic experiences helped them heal old wounds, align with their authentic selves, and experience profound love and forgiveness. They reveal how psychedelics can help older people deepen their spirituality, experience unprecedented intimacy and joy, and make peace with their mortality. Many describe how psychedelic journeying has made their older years the happiest, most meaningful time of their lives.

    Abbie covers the different psychedelic medicines and their risks and benefits for older adults. She describes pivotal advances in clinical research on psychedelic medicines and scientifically validated best practices to prevent “bad trips.” She also considers the legal and underground avenues that older adults are exploring to access these experiences.

    Beyond sharing individual stories of expansion and transformation, Abbie is the first to suggest that these pioneering psychedelic elders are helping us reimagine what older age looks and feels like in our ageist, death-phobic society. Her work illuminates the evolution—and revolution—in the role of elders in our society.

    Abbie Rosner has been writing extensively on older adults’ explorations of cannabis and psychedelics for Forbes, Double Blind, and other journals since 2018. She is one of the few writers to specifically cover psychedelic use among older adults. She lives in Washington, DC. Learn more at https://abbierosner.com.

    Adaptations: Who We Became as We Intelligently Adapted to Survive Our Younger Years, with Sarah Dawkins


    August 26, 2026

    Please join us and our guest, Sarah Dawkins, for a show on Adaptations: Who We Became as We Intelligently Adapted to Survive Our Younger Years.

    After healing herself from multiple chronic health conditions, Sarah began questioning the traditional belief that symptoms simply represent something gone wrong. Her work led her to a different conclusion: many of the patterns we struggle with, whether physical, emotional or behavioral, are intelligent adaptations developed in response to our experiences.

    Today, Sarah helps individuals, organizations and audiences understand the hidden adaptations that shape health, burnout, stress, relationships, leadership and identity. Through her unique blend of neuroscience, nervous system awareness, psychology, lived experience and compassionate storytelling, she guides people from survival into freedom.

    Her signature message is simple yet transformational:
    You're not broken. You adapted.
