Ep 193 - "Fungus, Focus & Emotional Resilience"

Episode notes

In this episode of Head, Heart, and Boots, Brandon and I have one of our most personal and vulnerable conversations to date. We step into a topic that’s often misunderstood, stigmatized, or avoided altogether - alternative medicine and the role psilocybin has played in my own mental, emotional, and relational health. I share my background growing up in a deeply religious environment, my initial skepticism, and the long road that led me to explore psilocybin in a clinical, intentional setting. We talk openly about emotional reactivity, anxiety, ADD, anger, self-criticism, and the hidden cost many high-performing leaders carry as they chase growth, success, and legacy. This isn’t about escapism or chasing an experience - it’s about healing, stability, and building emotional margin so we can show up better for our families, our teams, and ourselves. This conversation isn’t prescriptive or promotional. It’s an honest exploration of curiosity, research, personal experience, and the growing body of evidence showing how some leaders are finding lasting change by addressing the battle between their ears - not just their to-do lists.
