Not That Crazy

Today on the show, Caitlin shares another story about a pivotal life moment while at a concert on mushrooms. It was almost as if the universe perfectly curated this experience for her, even though she had no idea it was coming. She details the evening’s events, all the emotions that came with it, and how the mushrooms helped her gain such clarity about her life at the time. This is yet another example of how psychedelics help us quickly come to clear, peaceful conclusions to create mindful shifts in our lives. Yes, we may be able to make sound decisions without using psychedelics, but psilocybin helps streamline the process and makes it a lot more fun.

Let’s talk about mushrooms! In today’s solo, Caitlin talks about how casual doses of mushrooms impact our social interactions. She tells a story about a recent interaction that has her pondering an idea: Those dedicated to self-work and shadow work can integrate things more easily than those who enter the psychedelic experience with less intentionality. We all know that psychedelics help us approach others with unconditional love, but some of us have a harder time maintaining an open heart once the mushrooms wear off.

Whether it be alcohol, marijuana, or even something “healthy,” like work or exercise, we all have our thing we turn to when we need to unplug. But when’s the last time you’ve reflected on your relationship with whatever it is you’re using to escape? In today’s solo, Caitlin opens up about how her relationship with alcohol has evolved over the years and shares some of the things that she now prefers in its place. By being honest about her experience, Caitlin invites us all to reflect on our relationships with our numbing device of choice: Could a healthier option achieve the same or better results?

Caitlin’s bringing the fire in today’s solo, unpacking her experience existing in the mainstream vs. spiritual spaces — and what it’s like feeling like you fit into neither. As she’s witnessed this desire to homogenize the spirituality space, along with this p*ssing contest of who can present as “the most” spiritual, she’s on a mission to spread acceptance and curiosity around the uniqueness of our spiritual paths.

Tiffany Gaines blends astrology and human design to help clients understand their shopping tendencies and personal style, helping connect them to their true essence. Today’s conversation unpacks the energetics of style and the nuanced layers of emotion that come with letting go of the old to step into a new energy. Tiffany and Caitlin also talk about breaking out of society’s standards and the boxes we put ourselves in to explore what’s the most authentic expression of you.

Today on the show, Caitlin is joined by the CEO and co-founder of SoulFire productions, Kelli Moore. Caitlin confides that she’s been questioning why she self-identifies as a spiritual person, and having trouble finding the middle ground between the woo and normalcy. This leads the two to honestly critique the spiritual, personal development community, highlighting both the benefits and the darker truths and offering some tips for discerning which leaders are truly in integrity.

It can be hard to notice when certain friends and family members are not capable of showing up for you in the way that you need and deserve, but there are people out there that can show up for you in that way. In this solo episode, Caitlin talks about giving the people who actually do show up for you priority over those you feel obligated to. Because, in reality, you’re really only obligated to yourself…and if you’re not going to show up for yourself, no one else will either.

This idea that you need to “re-become” whole is bullshit. You are already whole, and you always have been. It really is that simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to embody. In today’s solo, Caitlin reminds you that your power is truly always there for you and that you get to be the leading energy of your life, not the overwhelming sensations that you feel some of the time. If you’re struggling with any of this, remember that, at any moment, you can plug back into your power source. At any moment, you can start living from your authority. It’s not something you need to take back.

In this episode, Caitlin chats with holistic nutritionist, business coach, author and fellow self-projected projector podcaster, Samantha Gladish. Samantha helps health and wellness coaches and online service providers find their soul-aligned clients to grow their online businesses and up-level their bank accounts. Caitlin and Samantha bond over the similarities within their human design charts, the sometimes awkward life of a podcaster and psychedelics. They also open up about overcoming their people-pleasing tendencies and how making big life changes guided by your own inner voices is the best way to take care of your soul.

Your biggest insecurity probably isn’t what you think. It’s not about how smart you are, how pretty you are, or whatever it is that you believe you are. There’s something deeper at play. You can play the game and try to hide it from yourself and the world or you can find out what it is, meet it, and learn to love the shit out of it. Once you learn to love your real insecurity, then you can start to truly be free.
