Microdosing With Leslie Draffin Blossom Your Awesome Podcast

Leslie Draffin is truly a modern day medicine woman. She is a somatic psychedelic guide and sensual embodiment coach.

She joins us on Episode #266 of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast and shares her journey of healing and self-discovery through intentional microdosing with psychedelic mushrooms. Leslie's path to this work began with her own experiences of shame, disconnection, and addiction.

Leslie explains that microdosing involves taking small doses of psychedelics, such as mushrooms, over a period of time, following a protocol. She emphasizes the importance of integration, which involves reflecting on and incorporating the insights and experiences that arise during the microdosing journey. Leslie also discusses the neuroscience behind psychedelics and their effectiveness in healing trauma by opening up the default mode network in the brain and facilitating communication with the body.

She highlights the mystical aspects of psychedelics and the importance of trust and intention in the healing process. Psychedelics, particularly psilocybin mushrooms, can help tap into the subconscious and deep subconscious, aiding in the exploration of one's consciousness and the understanding of why we are the way we are.

Combining psychedelics with somatic practices can be influential in healing trauma and regulating the nervous system. Somatic practices help ground individuals and create safety during psychedelic experiences.

Psychedelics can bring awareness and presence, allowing individuals to process triggers and emotions in a different way. Microdosing is not about getting high or tripping, but rather taking a low dose that allows individuals to go about their daily lives.

Psilocybin may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions or a history of bipolar or schizophrenia. It's important to do research, understand personal risks, and approach psychedelics with intention and gratitude.

Takeaways

• Intentional microdosing with psychedelic mushrooms can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery.
• Integration is a crucial part of the microdosing journey, allowing for reflection and incorporation of insights and experiences.
• Psychedelics work by opening up the default mode network in the brain and facilitating communication with the body, making them effective in healing trauma.
• Microdosing is not a lifelong practice, but rather a tool that can be used for a specific period of time and then revisited if needed.
• Trust and intention are key elements in the healing process with psychedelics. Psychedelics can help tap into the subconscious and deep subconscious, aiding in the exploration of consciousness and understanding of oneself.
• Combining psychedelics with somatic practices can be influential in healing trauma and regulating the nervous system.
• Somatic practices help ground individuals and create safety during psychedelic experiences.

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Ep 76 Metaphysics With Suzanne Munson

Sue Munson is an author and historian and we are talking about her recent book, The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson.

A breakthrough work, it premiered as the Number One New Release in Political Commentary.

Check her out www.suzannemunson-author.com .

PREMISE: IF YOU COULD TALK WITH THOMAS JEFFERSON, WHAT QUESTIONS WOULD YOU ASK?

Eight Jefferson authorities devised questions, thinking they were participating in a “history class project.” Instead, they became part of an amazing adventure: a journey to the immortal mind of Mr. Jefferson himself, facilitated by an experienced medium.

From his place in spirit, Jefferson is not happy with the evolution of America’s government and culture since the days of the Founding Fathers. America’s government has lost its footing and is in need of a new revolution--not of war, but of integrity, he observes.

The Metaphysical Thomas Jefferson records his views on Congress, the presidency, foreign policy, higher education, the military, religion, the media, slavery, race, and Sally Hemings.

It is a fascinating conversation.

Blossom Your Awesome Episode #73 The Comeback With Marcia Moran

Marcia Moran has written over fifty business plans and helped entrepreneurs strategize over how to differentiate their companies in changing environments. After helping other entrepreneurs start their companies, she decided to found her own business consulting practice, Performance Architect, in 2012 and co-founded Positive Business DC that same year.

Marcia suffered a major stroke in 2014. She applied those skills in planning and strategy as she strived to become whole. She never gave up. Over time she learned to walk again, but Marcia struggled with aphasia, a language disorder. She joined Toastmasters International® hoping to regain her speaking abilities. It helped some, but in August 2017 she discovered a technological breakthrough that minimized her speaking disability. She then pushed beyond her comfort zone to become a Toastmasters International Club Officer in 2017, then Area Director in 2019.

Marcia created Stroke FORWARD because she felt there is a need to share hope to stroke survivors and their caretakers. Learning to become her own health advocate one step a time and exploring holistic methods for healing are keys to her recovery. Marcia speaks and shares her message of hope, inspiration, healing, and a way forward as she goes across the country. She welcomes new opportunities to help individuals affected by major health crises move forward.

Marcia lives with her husband Jim, two very loud cats, and two birds near Washington, DC. Jim played a role of caretaker and advocate. His observations and experiences are also captured in Stroke FORWARD.To get in touch with her checkout the links below - Website

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Episode #68 Total Transformation With Arman Vestad

In the past, Arman spent a lot of his time on the run. Through a series of poor life choices and unfortunate circumstances, he had found himself dealing drugs and engaging in other kinds of criminal activity. He even gained notoriety as the infamous ‘Gunman from Molde’ after supplying a weapon that was used in a triple homicide.

While to outsiders it seemed that he was living as a criminal playboy with drugs, friends, partying, and money, he actually felt alone. His body was struggling to keep up with a devastating drug habit, and he felt that there was nobody he could trust enough to be himself around. Wanting to let go, he even contemplated suicide.

After leaving prison for the 10th time, it wasn’t long until Arman found himself under arrest once again. This time, however, a policeman on the case sat down with him and asked what he could do to help. He showed that he cared, and those few moments changed the course of Arman’s life forever.

What came next was a prolonged and difficult fight to rebuild a normal, happy existence. As he pushed himself back to health, he also embarked on a new career as a debt adviser for Norway’s welfare administration. He later became an international public speaker, an advocate for bringing reformed criminals back into work and society, and (most importantly) a father.

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Episode #66 Thriver Zone With Susan Omilian

Susan Omilian is an author, motivational speaker, attorney, and nationally recognized expert has worked to end violence against women for the last forty years.

In the 1970s, she founded a rape crisis center and, in the early 1980s, represented battered women in divorce proceedings. She also litigated sex discrimination cases, including helping to articulate the legal concept that made sexual harassment illegal in the 1990s.

She dedicated her life to this work and started the organization Thriver Zone after her nineteen-year-old niece Maggie had been shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend on a college campus in Michigan.

Susan’s work as an attorney and advocate for women’s rights became more personal and immediate.

Vowing to help women who survive abuse as Maggie could not, today twenty years later, Susan’s award-winning work has been described as “life-changing” and as “a component for women recovering from abuse that has been virtually overlooked.”

On her own healing journey after the senseless death of her niece, Susan found the work she was born to do and it comes together here in the THRIVER ZONE — a healing place for women who want to reclaim their lives after abuse.

She has helped hundreds of women take the journey from victim to survivor to thriver as Maggie could not.

Topics We Discuss:

• How to deal with a personal tragedy that is beyond your control.
• How women can survive and thrive after domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse.
• How to connect with the part of you untouched by all that has happened to you and find a life of power and purpose.
• The "Seven Steps to Thriving after Abuse" that I have developed is a motivational model for women who have experienced abuse (domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, child abuse.)

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast #60 Creativity And Success With Alka Joshi

I had the great pleasure of having Best Selling Author Alka Joshi on the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast. We had an incredible conversation that left me feeling inspired and wanting to read more of her work and write more of course.

I’ll start by saying not only because I’m a fan, but because I’m an avid reader. Herbook The Henna Artist was an exceptional read. She is a phenomenal writer and I was truly drawn head first into this marvelous story that takes you off into a colorful world in the heart of India’s Rajasthan.

I of course had dozens of questions for Alka Joshi.

I wanted to know what success tasted like as a writer later in life?

In her previous life Alka had spearheaded a successful marketing firm and did the whole corporate thing for decades before leaning into her writing.

She shared very candidly about her journey from the corporate world to this nudging feeling of needing to create having wanted to be an artist in her younger years.

We agreed that she is a true artist and the page her canvas, her poetically crafted sentences her paint.

She shared great insights about creativity, her own right process. We talked about her second book which lead to her sharing about a third one that is coming out soon and a fourth one that is in the making.

I also wanted to know as a writer and creative myself what she does to stay inspired?

And of course, the obvious question - what advice she has for aspiring writers?

It was an insightful conversation full of great insights and wonderful thoughtful guidance.

If you'd like to know more about Alka you can check her out on her website or on instagram where she is very active and always posting helpful tips and tricks for writers.

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Episode #49 Mental Wellness With Michele Capots

Episode #49 of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast I am talking to speaker and coach on Mental Wellness Michele Capots.

After being diagnosed in her 20s with bi-polar disorder Michele spent decades battling her illness living in fear and sadness.

She had no idea how to deal with it powerfully until one day she found a mentor who told her and instilled in her to - "Run towards the cannon."

Ever since that day Michele has embodied this notion of moving towards that which we fear in order to overcome it.

Today Michele lives out her passion and purpose by sharing her story and inspired others to learn from her courageous tale.

She feels called to share about how she overcame her personal barriers with mental illness that were keeping her from living her best life.

Michele offers incredible insights into living in fear of uncontrollable anxiety and offers tools that anyone can use to begin to let go of the feeling of helplessness and lean into recovery and wholeness.

It was an insightful conversation loaded with wisdom and powerful insights.

Blossom Your Awesome Episode #46 - Striving Towards Growth With Elvira Medus

On this latest episode of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast I'm talking to psychotherapist Elvira Medus.

Medus is trained under the Rogerian model. She uses the Person-Centered Approach originated by Carl Rogers, arguably the most influential American mental health practitioner of the 20th Century. The Person-Centered Approach can be understood as a branch of the Humanistic School of Psychology. The Humanistic School of Psychology is also known as the 3rd force, meaning it grew out of a reaction to the opposing schools of Psychoanalysis and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In contrast to Psychoanalysis, which attempts to understand and work with unconscious motives, and Behaviorism, which attempts to generate change through learned behavior, Humanistic Psychology attempts to help individuals increase their innate healing capacities and thereby allow self-directed growth to occur.

Humanistic practitioners, believe in something called the "actualizing tendency". The actualizing tendency can be understood as the innate force within all living things that strives towards growth. In other words, if you are alive, you are growing. Unlike the psychoanalysts, your growth does not need to be interpreted and, unlike the behaviorists, your growth does not need to be directed. Humanists, believe it is their job to aid in the process of strengthening this innate force.

The natural growth process of the individual is promoted when the therapist can embody certain attitudinal qualities: the therapist strives to be congruent and experiences unconditional positive regard and empathic understanding toward the client. In other words, the therapist embodies the PCA "core conditions."

Blossom Your Awesome Episode #42 Laurie Singer joins me to talk about powerful ways of living with anxiety.

Laurie Singer is a licensed marriage and family therapist, board-certified in applied behavior analysis.

After tragedy in her own life Laurie devoted her life to the field of mental health with a clear vision in mind.

She created a team approach to helping people overcome behavioral and other mental health issues with a unique combination of behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapies.

She released her first book titled, "You're Not Crazy: Living with Anxiety, Obsessions and Fetishes.”

The book as an in-depth look at mental health using case studies from her practice.

Laurie earned her post-graduate certification in Applied Behavioral Analysis from Kaplan University. She began her college studies at Oxnard College and at UCLA, and completed her undergraduate degree at UCSB. She received her masters from Cal State Northridge in Educational Psychology and proceeded to earn a license in Marriage and Family Therapy. Laurie has been a practicing Behavioral Specialist since 1995 and in private practice since 2004.

Laurie is also an endurance athlete, having made running 100-mile races nearly routine and completing 28 ultra-marathons of 31 miles or longer. She’s a 3-time Ironman competitor and in 2017 was recognized for her accomplishments as an inductee into the Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame.

Since losing her two-year-old son Jacob Singer to cancer in 1987, she has coordinated an annual fun run and fundraiser (Jacob’s Run) in support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’s Child Life Program, which provides playrooms and support for patients and their families. To date, more than $350,000 has been raised in support.

We talk extensively about the potential for anxiety within each and everyone of us and how a lifetime of pain and hurts can shape us adding layers upon layers of trauma.

We never really realize we may be carrying baggage from a bullying incident on the playground when we were 6.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy as they relate to mental health - the conditions patients seek care for, the triggers of these issues, the impact on lives and the steps to overcome them.

Laurie is extremely adept at discussing mental health issues that are deeply-seeded that often take hold in childhood as well as responses to current societal conditions.

It was another insightful conversation that I know will have some guidance that will prove to be helpful and insightful for everyone.

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Episode #41 Let Love Lead With Norman Plotkin

On this latest episode of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast I'm talking to Modern Day Shaman Norman Plotkin.

After a 25 year career as a public policy consultant and lobbyist Norman Plotkin changed paths and became a certified clinical hypnotherapist.

It was a battle with cancer that forced him to emerge with a new perspective.

He went back to school and became a hypnotherapist.

He's written two books on taking charge of your health challenges. And Norman's life changed as he began advocating for people instead of companies. Currently tending to his private hypnotherapy practice and leading virtual group meditation sessions, Plotkin published his second book, Master Mind Master Life, and is working on his third.

Norman and I delve deep into the the healing process and how transformative it can be and the deeper awakening it is calling for.

He applies well known health and wellness techniques along with incorporating mindfulness and spirituality to his hypnotherapy practice, but also uses alternatives sources such as tarot to lead a more intentional life.

Norman had a way about him. He was calm, at peace and very measured. He spoke from love and had an intuitive prowess that was so powerfully he truly embodied all I imagine in a modern day Shaman. He is part mystic and part healer with a flair.

His ideas and philosophies on healing and recovery far surpass just our average understanding of what it means to go through therapy to heal and life a more empowered life.

On this episode of the Blossom Your Awesome podcast episode #36 I'm talking to Channeler Serge Grandbois who will be channeling non-physical teacher, spirit guide Kris.

Kris has been guiding and offering messages and information to Serge for nearly 40 years. The two have been collaborating as Spirit and channel offering practical and powerful guidance and insights into life, our struggles and challenges and how to live it in the most empowered way possible.

The work they do together is similar to the likes of Edgar Cayce and Ester Hicks and Abraham.

Divinity seems to flow through and a compulsion to share arises offering powerful messages to us all about love, joy, happiness, living in the best way possible.

In the years since collaborating Serge shares that Kris seems to want to more and more offer insights and compassionate guidance on the human condition.

While Kris had always shared messages of this nature they seem to be ever more present.

The Kris phenomenon thus seemed to open more vistas from that moment, as it has always done. This just seemed like another stage that has brought significance in ways to be further explored now.

In a manner of speaking, Kris has always been a powerful spiritual guidance for Serge as well as countless others. One thing that is still clear is that Kris speaks through no one else. He has insisted on it from the very beginning and it will remain so. Over the years others have claimed to voice Kris, but he has always maintained that though they may think it is him, it is merely that such persons are developing their own processes and need a model from which to learn, nothing else.

I had an incredible exchange and the insights that came forward from Kris were truly empowering and inspirational.

I was touched and moved deeply during my exchange.

Truly powerful stuff.

Michelle is a remarkable light who is teaching people how to overcome obstacle and use our challenges to find purpose.

We all have hardships in life, but Michelle is on another level with understanding life and all of its trivial ups and downs.

At the age of 11 Michelle was struck by a car that left her with a permanent disability.

This has been her greatest obstacle and she has overcome it with inner resilience and immense grace.

She is a beacon of light that holds so much wisdom for us all.

She seems to have things figured out regarding adversity with this deeper innate sense of wisdom she has carried with her throughout her life.

Her triumph over tragedy is a remarkable story of inspiration and hope.

So if you ever have a moment of feeling sorry for yourself or like a victim look to the power within.

This is the work Michelle does with her clients today teaching people how to let go of fear and self judgements, let go of the victimhood and be your most awesome you.

She teaches people how to face their challenges head on and overcome adversity in the most empowered way.

It was truly an absolute honor and delight to have Michele on the show sharing her wisdom and insights with her.

She left me touched and moved deeply.

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast episode #30 Personality Types Taking Flight With Merrick Rosenberg.

On this latest episode of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast I have another incredible conversation with author, speaker and trainer Merrick Rosenberg.

Merrick is award-winning/bestselling author of Taking Flight! and The Chameleon, two books about the power of personality.

He has come up with his own system to identify personality types that can help you do better with those around you.

So what type of bird are you?

There are eagles, parrots, doves and owls.

Each bird represents certain characteristics that can help you do better at work, with colleagues, family and friends.

With this understanding we know what personality traits to enhance depending on the birds around us and how to ensure we don't demean the personality types of others, but rather lift them up so they can fly.

Merrick Rosenberg is the leading personality expert and a keynote speaker. He shares his entertaining and insightful way of learning about ourselves and others with people all over the world. He has certified more than 500 trainers to share his reimagined approach to personality styles that he refers to as Eagles, Parrots, Doves, and Owls.

Audience members see themselves in the conversation as they enjoy answering the question, “Which bird are you?”

Merrick founded Team Builders Plus in 1991 and Take Flight Learning in 2012. After teaching more than 100,000 people how to use their personality to build relationships and lead happy lives, he identified a pattern that predicts who will win presidential elections based solely on personality. The pattern has been so consistent, it has held strong for 22 consecutive elections going all the way back to 1932.

Merrick has worked with more than half of the Fortune 100 companies in the US and around the world.

A Few Of The Questions I Ask Merrick Are:

• Why is personality so important?

• Why Is understanding personality types of those around you so important?

• How do we do better with this or use this information to help us in life, love and work?

• How can understanding this better help you in your career?

• How can you cope with difficult personalities in the workplace?

Here are some more links below to help you connect with Merrick.

Winning at the game of life is a huge undertaking and my guest on Episode #26 of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast David Richards has mastered just that.

He is a former marine, turned yoga instructor, turned International bestselling author and speaker and trainer.

His bestseller is the Lighthouse Keeper: A Story Of Mind Mastery.
He is taking a respite of sorts during the Holiday season to work on his next book which he was so elated about. And not just the book, but with great humility sharing he was so excited that he had gotten to this place in life and with his writing that he now felt so well equipped to write with such grace and ease.

David has a colorful background growing up his dad was in the military and stationed in Korea and Japan which gave David a huge leg up on understanding life and humanity broadly, culture, and spirituality.

After leaving the military David went to a yoga class and that was the start of a powerful transformation that lead him inward into the depths of spirituality and lead ultimately to his own spiritual awakening.

David was so incredibly inspired and explicitly enlightened and I had so many questions for someone with such a diverse background.

Once a Marine who was in one of the first Blackhawk Downs to touch down in Somalia then goes on a spiritual journey looking for deeper awareness and becoming a yoga instructor.

What a juxtaposition. The two are worlds apart although I clearly know the level of depth and intellect it takes to become a marine.

David shares that yoga was so intensely mind-blowing after all of the rigorous physical training he had undergone in the marines and then learning through yoga and mindfulness that the body is so much more capable than he ever knew.

It was such an inspiring and insightful conversation with an incredible man who is truly an example of finding and living your inner greatness.

I'm so very excited for what lay ahead for David.

I know there will be some insights and a few takeaways from my exchange with him.

On episode #23 of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast I have got C.J. Sand on the show.

C.J. is the founder of the Reasonable Movement and it is growing exponentially and gaining serious momentum.

Reasonable - what does it mean? How reasonable are you?

Well according to C.J. Sand most of us are just not reasonable enough, so much so that he started a movement. Yep. That's right.

He said he wanted to live with a philosophy that is based in self-empowerment without the judgements and unreasonable expectations that a lot of other ideologies bring with them.

Hundreds of thousands of people are taking a liking to his Reasonable Movement and it's gaining a lot of traction and steam.

Nothing extraordinary, just reasonable expectations of ourselves and of those around us that encourage us to be the best version of ourselves without settling, that is what the Reasonable movement is all about.

It almost sounds too logical and quite frankly I think it makes perfect sense.

C.J. Sand is an American teacher and author who has spent the last 30 years in the U.K. He is also the host of the Sounds Reasonable To Me Podcast.

After struggles in life and finding that there really wasn't an ideology that fit his needs, he came up with his own.

It is very accommodating to all and has that sort of "Live and Let Live" feel about it.

C.J. was a wealth of knowledge and we had a delightful exchange about his hope for the movement and for all of us who just want to live an extraordinary life of our own making without all the pressure, unreasonable expectations, judgments and negativity.

To learn more about the movement you can go to his Facebook page where he has more than 200,000 followers and gaining momentum still.

His movement is clearly growing and because he's so darn reasonable I say, "More Power To Him."

To learn more about C.J. you can check out his website here where you can also find links to his Sounds Reasonable To Me Podcast.

On this latest episode of the Blossom Your Awesome podcast I have a deep and prolifically insightful conversation with Dr. Betty Kovacs.

Dr. Betty Kovacs is a scholar in the subject of shaman-mystic spiritual traditions. And she believes the early knowledge that was left by the sages is a blueprint for our evolution.

She tells me that Western religions have covered up this immense body of knowledge and wisdom that can ultimately not only transform us, but heal the world.

Betty Kovacs is a modern day mystic with a deep understanding of church and state. She hs taught literature, writing and symbolic/mythic language for more than two and a half decades. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine, in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/ Mythic Language.

And she served as Chair and Program Chair on the Board of Directors of the Jung Society of Claremont in California and sits on the Academic Advisory Board of Forever Family Foundation.

She shares her passion through her books, speaking, teaching and media interviews in the United States and Europe. Betty has spoken to national and global audiences through webinars, keynote presentations and media interviews.

Dr. Kovacs teaches with great intensity about the fruit of the tree of life is the knowledge that we are all Universal Mind, immortal, divine, and creators.

Betty Kovacs is the author of The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life and Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing The World - the winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and Medical Network 2019 Book Prize.

We dive deep into her story of healing and tapping in to altered states of consciousness after experiencing the deaths of her mother, son and husband in automobile accident over a span of 3 years, one year after year.

It's a powerful conversation that lends itself to insights and teaching and possible transcendence into the understanding of life and death.

We've all pondered the other side. Infinity and beyond - perhaps that's the other side.

What happens after we die?

For Kathy McDaniel she no longer needs to ponder because she was given a glimpse into the other side via a near death experience.

Her experience was vivid and dark and also colorful and joyful.

Kathy went not only to Heaven, but also to hell and shares her intimate account with the other side, both sides of the other side.

She said Heaven is glorious beyond belief while hell was a dark gloomy place that traumatized her and gave her nightmares and ptsd.

She focuses on the beautiful parts of her NDE near death experience - that's when she was roaming in Heaven with divinity.

Kathy saw loved ones who had crossed over and was given very clear directives from God to go back and finish her work here with us mere earthly mortals.

She shares her account in her book Misfit In Hell To Heaven Expat. Click here to learn more about the book.

Her best selling memoir is uplifting and lighthearted. It's also chilling and captivating.

She says the experience was "life twisting" and changed everything for her.

It was an insightful conversation to say the least. It gives us perspective that perhaps we did not have.

Kathy shares candidly about her experience first winding up in Hell and then to the majesty of Heaven.

She learned so much about life in the experience of her temporary cross-over and sees it all remarkably clearly for what it is now.

Kathy says she looks at tragedies, hardships and death in a whole new way that is so much more empowering than the way we've learned to see struggles in life.

Life doesn't end. We never really die. We just transition to a new state of being in a new form and in a new magical way that is the most spectacular thing ever.

Sounds pretty extraordinary.

I welcome you to join us for this eye opening exchange with Kathy McDaniel.

She's got messages from God for us and offers us newfound perspective on living and living powerfully.

Shasta was home and he returned time and time again over the years to tap into the sacred vortex of the mountain receiving all of its gifts and power. Finally he officially moved to Mt.

He feels so blessed and empowered in the work he does leading people to discover not only the gifts of the mountain, but to learn through the power of the vortex to tap into their own true authentic selves.
