Episode 142: From The Depths Of Darkness Into The Light (feat. Kristian Hval)

This One Time On Psychedelics

For any of you who have gone through darkness in your life, you know full well how challenging this process can be. For me, one of the most challenging aspects of these times when I find myself in darkness is ensuring I am committing to seeing this darkness as happening FOR me, rather than to me. I have seen SO many people fall victim to their victim mentality in these times & to be honest, it can be extremely hard not to, however, if we can rise above that darkness & see it happening for our greater good, unbelievable magic can open up in our lives. Today's guest on the show is a man who knows this topic of darkness well in his life. From battling addiction & almost losing his life multiple times, to overcoming his addictions by going after the root causes of these addictions & leveraging the wisdom of plant medicines to assist in that process, it’s safe to say that he knows a thing or two about how to navigate this process successfully. In today's episode, we will be diving into his journey, including stories that will shock you, make your spine shiver & leave you with a deep sense of empowerment in how your own life can be related to his hero’s journey.
