Wow, this week I had the privilege of sitting down with former firefighter and founder of the S.I.R.E.N. Project , Angela Graham. The S.I.R.E.N Project is an initiative that looks to help first responders and veterans heal from past trauma through the use of psychedelic medicines. We dove deep into everything that this modality is, and just as important, everything that it is not. I learned soo much from my brief time with Angela. My biggest takeaway, there is always something you can do to better your situation, always. The one caveat to this, it's got to be YOU that takes action and is intentional on how you want to live your life! Grab a pen and paper, sit back, reflect, take notes, and if you or someone you love is struggling, share this episode with them and put them in touch with Angela, or don't , the choice is yours.

This week I sit down with Retired Deputy Sheriff Rob Poynter. Rob and I discuss his use of plant based medicine to help address his trauma. Rob shares his journey from the prep work, the experience itself and the after care. We have heard of the benefits of psilocybin therapy in treating different trauma related situations. I wanted to know more and Rob certainly added some great first hand account information concerning this treatment modality. I'll be following up this episode with another, from the Co-Founder / Executive Director of the S.I.R.E.N project, Angela Grahm. Angela leads an organization that helps first responders and veterans heal through the use of psychedelic medicines . Sit back and give this episode a listen and share it with someone that may be struggling.
