In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, I welcome Leslie Draffin, a former TV news anchor turned somatic psychedelic guide. Leslie shares her profound journey of overcoming depression, anxiety, and addiction through psychedelic medicine after conventional therapies and medications failed to address her core wounds. She discusses her history of shame and trauma stemming from early experiences and societal pressures and highlights the transformational power of psychedelic experiences in her healing process. The conversation delves into the importance of setting, dosage, and integration in psychedelic practices, emphasizing that integration work is crucial yet often overlooked. Leslie also reflects on her evolving relationship with spirituality and God, aided by her experiences with psychedelics, and offers guidance for those considering this path. The episode underscores the significance of consciously integrating lessons learned from psychedelics into one's daily life to achieve true healing and transformation.\nLeslie Draffin is a somatic psychedelic guide, sensual embodiment coach & menstrual cycle educator focused on helping women embrace their bodies, sex, and psychedelics. She supports conscious women & menstruators who want to heal themselves & connect more deeply with the divine through intentional micro-dosing, womb reconnection, pleasure activation & cyclical living. Leslie believes sacred Earth medicine can bring us home to ourselves, awaken our authenticity and heal the trauma locked within our subconscious.\nhttps://lesliedraffin.myflodesk.com/microguide\n\nTimestamps:\n02:58 Introduction and Welcome\n04:08 Leslie's Journey: From TV Anchor to Psychedelic Guide\n04:57 Struggles with Shame and Mental Health\n06:59 Rebellion and Coping Mechanisms\n12:45 Career Success and Personal Turmoil\n17:12 Discovering Psychedelic Medicine\n20:10 Overcoming Stigma and Embracing Healing\n24:54 The Importance of Integration\n26:53 Personal Integration Journey\n27:17 Setting Intentions with Psychedelics\n28:14 Challenges and Breakthroughs\n29:04 The Importance of Integration\n31:59 Facing Personal Loss\n32:55 Embracing Vulnerability\n33:53 Spiritual Insights and Growth\n35:19 Balancing Professional and Personal Life\n37:18 Understanding Death and Rebirth\n42:37 Reconciling with Spirituality\n47:02 Final Thoughts and Resources\n\nSponsors of the Podcast:\n\nBetterHelp: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://betterhelp.com/ez10\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\xa0for 10% off your first month of therapy\n\nWeShape: https://weshape.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/dcfogwyuk?a_aid=FurkhanDandia&a_bid=d7508fa8 for 35% all plans.\n\nAura: https://aura.com/ez10 for a free two-week trial\n\nPlunge: https://plunge.com/ez\n\nMint Mobile: \u2060https://trymintmobile.com/ez10\u2060 for 15$ for an unlimited cell phone plan\n\nWe Are Wild for 25% off your first order: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://zen.ai/EZ23\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\n\nIf you would like to support EZ Conversations, here are all the ways you can do that:\n\nInstagram\u2060\u2060:\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.instagram.com/eunoiazen\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\n\u2060\u2060Facebook\u2060\u2060: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://m.facebook.com/eunoiazen\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060 \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\nYouTube\u2060\u2060: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrqBp_zdRiIfBRV4wURSZ2A\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\nLinkedIn: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.linkedin.com/in/furkhan-dandia-macp-mba-072a8a1ba/\u2060\n\nPatreon: \u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060https://www.\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060patreon.com/EzConversations\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\u2060\n\n\nOr find Furkhan's Book, Pursuit of Self Love: 30 Uplifting Messages and Reflections.
