In today's episode, we have our very first special guest! Brandi Hogan from Eve of Transformation joins us on today's podcast to give us the low down on plant medicine. We dive into essential topics about safety and presence, breathwork, the loudness of the ego, authenticity, and even the power of screaming! Brandi is an incredible resource and has trained for several years in shamanism and working with the plants she discusses in this episode. I can not stress the importance of working with a shaman in these spaces, especially if you will work on healing trauma. The last thing you want is to go into a space to heal, only to be re-traumatized and left worse than you began. (Sheena has personally worked with Brandi in multiple sessions of breathwork, completed her Feminine Fire program, and Hape/Rapeh sessions to work through trauma and she highly recommends her.) Brandi is offering a discount for listeners of our podcast! Save $500 off the medicine retreat in September to Columbia and $250 off of Ignite Your Feminine Fire! Simply mention that you are a podcast listener when you book your service. This is a great way to get into the healing space, but you can also contact Brandi directly or visit her website for more details about her services.Brandi's Instagram and linktree Brandi's Website Sheena's references: Huber Man Lab Podcast- How Psilocybin can rewire our brain (If you'd like to better understand the applications and risks of the plant medicines we discuss in this episode, Andrew Huberman does an excellent job covering everything.
