We unpack the hidden layers of competition vs. collaboration, the subconscious wounds many women carry from childhood, and how they manifest in adulthood—whether through betrayal, exclusion, or self-sabotage. Elisa shares her own experiences of deep sisterhood breakups,...

Into my life walks Corrie Bignell, The Unregistered Nurse / Certified Self Sabotage Coach - with a workshop all about self sabotage. I was a co-facilitator at a retreat where I had the privilege of hearing all Corrie's work and wisdom. Corrie joins me today to talk ALL about the topic of self sabotage. You are going to want to listen to this. If you asked me two weeks ago if I self sabotage myself I would've said no. And once I listened to why most of us are unconsciously self sabotaging ourselves, it all made much more sense. And now my answer is, YES ... but...

This short episode is a solo episode talking about HEALING. The healing we've done. The healing we've yet to do. And the healing that is between where we are and where we want to be. Eight weeks ago I started to practice again after a four year break. In this time I have known that many of us are struggling in our wholeness. The stress (in all its forms), unprocessed emotions and trauma have left many humans managing ... versus thriving. Simply put, I'm sharing my thoughts and views on what's happening in the world right now and how you can move into a greater...

In this episode, I share my experience of moving to Costa Rica from Canada. For some this is a much anticipated podcast episode. I talk about the reason why we moved -- including concerns about Canada's "pandemic" response and governmental control. I talk about the trucker / freedom rally and how it influenced our decision. In a way we never saw coming. I cover how and why we chose Costa Rica and the area we are in - including our many challenges along the way. Also, the residency and visa process, access to healthcare, nutritious food and...

Our deep, enriching conversation takes a deep dive into the world of traditional medicine, modern healing, and the transformative power of guided psychedelic journeys.
Gary Logan, ATCD -
Gary is deeply committed to awakening people from their slumber to help them access the richness of the present moment on an ever-increasing frequency.
Gary’s deep awareness of the psycho-physical connection, through the Alexander Technique, is a key distinction of The JourneyMen Collective work that prepares the whole being for the ceremonies and facilitates a dynamic integration process; from the spiritual to the physical embodiment of renewal.

KEY QUOTES:
Personal Growth Through Journaling: "It was like the journaling really helped me to put down on paper my thoughts and feelings about my family dynamic. And I never knew that until right now."— Gary Logan
Celestial Awakening: "This is your awakening. We've been knocking at the door. Are you ready?"— Gary Logan
"Overcoming Grief and Depression: And after Robert came back from his journey, we jokingly say he found his joy spot. And I thought, well, if he can shift his depression, because I had never experienced a big depression or grief or even anxiety. And I thought, what is this? What's going on with my heart and my chest and my breathing? And I thought, well, if he shifted, maybe I need to shift."— Gary Logan
Breaking Free of Societal Constraints: "The idea is, how can I break free of that paradigm of being boxed in from society and parents and break free? First thing to do is, from the inside, poke a hole through the box to see the light come into the darkness. You know there's something on the other side. And as you go to that light, more holes will be poked in the box, and that box will disintegrate, and you will step free out of that box into your true self. It's recognizing that you have put yourself in your own box."— Gary Logan
The Importance of Conscious Business: "And part of what we felt was deeply, deeply important was that people step into conscious business. And how does that happen? Each and every single person that's involved in the business wakes up to their ever evolving journey of becoming more and more conscious."— Robert Grover
Awakening to the Spiritual World: "And I came out of that experience. I had found my joy again. The depression had lifted, the grief had lifted. And when I was working with the medicine men and the discussions and conversations that we were having, I was like, even right now, I've got goosebumps. Even remembering into that moment in that I made sort of a declaration to the universe in that I stated, these are the conversations that I want to be having with people. The depth of conversation, the depth of connection, the depth of exploration and wonder and curiosity is what I wanted to create for people."— Robert Grover
The Power of Remembering: "A big part of this is when we look at the planetary scale, the planet is coming out of a dark phase, a forgetting phase. And so what is on the flip side of that? It's a remembering."— Robert Grover
The Power of Psilocybin and Personalized Attention: "When you meet that medicine with a high level of intent, a high level of respect, reverence, integrity for your own being and for your own discovery process, it can be a game changer when you allow someone to guide you through that vulnerable place, that vulnerable space within yourself."— Robert Grover
The Importance of Education and Guidance in Plant Medicine Journeys: "But we just started, and here we are, and that journey. There's a high need for education in this space that so many people don't know what they're getting into, when they get into it, and then they're in it."— Robert Grover
The Power of Inner Wisdom: "When you start to ignore what's happening out around you, not out of ignorance or disrespect, but when you start cutting away all of the distraction, all of the noise that's out there and you start to listen to that inner wisdom within yourself and you start to let that out, there is no fucking stopping you."— Robert Grover
