This week's show is with Susan Guner. Susan is a trained, somatic, trauma-informed holistic psychotherapist with a mindfulness-based approach grounded in Transpersonal Psychology that focuses on holistic perspective through introspection, insight, and compassionate self exploration to increase self-awareness, allowing the integration of the mind, body and spirit aspects of human experience in personal growth and development.

In this show, Susan and Lian explored psychedelic medicines as an alternative path to treating cancer and its causes. Susan's understanding of the research that's been done in this area and her own experience of supporting people with cancer.

When we agree to record on this topic, Susan and I both knew it would be an edge, cancer is a very sensitive subject and the angle we’re exploring isn’t exactly mainstream, added to which modern understanding and research around using psychedelics in this way is very nascent. We knew there could be some things that were shared that could be triggering, and also there might be things that were shared now that could turn out to be different in time, with more experience and knowledge. 

Despite this, we agreed that we wanted to do record this now anyway as it felt so necessary and important to get this knowledge out there. We did so and went there fully and openly, without much in the way of caveats which would have made the conversation safer and more palatable but would have meant the message was diluted.

I understand that the way we spoke could come across as insensitive and so it feels important to say that we are coming from deep compassion and the strong intention for this episode to be as serving as possible to those with cancer.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• We are discovering that psychedelic medicines appear to be a match for cancer, among other things - this is a reclamation of ancient gnosis, knowing we can work with the natural world to find the match between illness and medicine in this way
• The medicine has the intelligence to go where it needs to and work at the necessary level - Susan's seen that with cancer, it's mainly physical initially, not psychological
• It's important to recognise that this is about creating a relationship with the medicines, seeing them as allies and entering into a reciprocal, honouring relationship

This week's show is with Dr. Sharon Blackie. Award-winning mythologist, psychologist, and writer Dr. Sharon Blackie is widely known and regarded for her publications, classes, seminars, and workshops  which centers on the growth of the mythic imagination and the applicability of myth, fairy tales, and folklore to the social, political, and environmental issues of today.

Sharon has given lectures and classes at several universities, Jungian organizations, retreat centers, and cultural events all around the world.

In this show, Sharon and Lian explored the topic of female elderhood and her work to support women to reclaim their Inner Hag, mature into their own unique expression of hagitude and pass down their deep feminine wisdom for the benefit of their community.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• We can reclaim menopause as a time of stripping away, letting go of the roles and expectations of our life and culture, allowing us to open to the deeper knowing of who we are and are to become
• The archetypes Sharon described, such as the fairy godmother and the truth teller, are ones that it's clear are deeply needed in our culture
• The vision Sharon spoke of, that of a wiser, more authentic world is one that many of us see is needed and are looking for solutions for... the Hag seems to be an important part of the answer

This week's show is with John Patrick Morgan. John Patrick is a Philosopher and Champion for Being whose life purpose is to serve the one person in front of him, right here and right now. To see them fully, to create who they are and to make a meaningful difference for them honestly and completely.

He leads a team of Creating Champions who teach, coach, and guide thousands of entrepreneurs and artists in being more free, loving, and powerful. By learning and embodying the Creating perspective, their clients achieve a union of outcomes in spiritual growth, material success, and social impact. The foundation of John Patrick Morgan’s role as a philosopher, teacher, and guide, is his being a real-world practitioner. He walks his talk, lives what he teaches, and has a genuine and powerful commitment to creating everybody.

Post his formal studies in Physics and Mathematics, John Patrick built multiple small businesses (including one from a laptop and a backpack before the term ‘digital nomad’ existed), developed real estate, traveled the world for years on end, coached human rights leaders, recorded albums & toured with his band, created a kids library in Cambodia, learned to scuba dive & pilot gliders, published writing and photography, competed as a black belt & triathlete, trained with Buddhist monks in India, cycled toured for months and many other adventures. In recent years, his adventures have turned inward as his family came to be. He and his wife now reside with their two young boys in the countryside at 4000′ on a mountain in Maui.

Beyond his daily work with clients, he has been invited to share his ideas and spirit on numerous stages. (TEDx, Global Citizens Forum, BBC & SkyTV, YES Group, Interesting Talks London, InsideOut Movement, METal International, educational institutions, etc.) At a private event, attended by many of the world’s billionaires, JP was invited to speak on creating a world world without borders. At the University of Cambridge, he was the subject of a covert study between the psychology and business departments where researchers sought to understand the impact of his state of being.

In this conversation, John Patrick and I explored the archetype of the King - what he means to each of us, how and why JP has been working with him and what doing so has created so far in his life.

I’d love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• As JP shared, we can often have wounds around powerful archetypes like the King and the Queen, bringing those wounds and the truth of the archetypes into awareness can be deeply healing and ultimately, create a portal to expansion into deeper aspects of ourselves
• The King provides a level of elevation, where a man embodying him can see the impersonal truth of things and the vast array of possibilities available to him, and I loved how JP described moving between that elevation and then back into the reality of his physical body, where some things are not possible or aligned but other things are
• Lastly, I loved hearing JP speak of the new level of power, depth and decisiveness that's become embodied in him as he's been working with the King, he said "I feel like my spine is taller and straighter. Maybe I've grown an inch. I don't know. My voice has deepened and continues to deepen. I am shocked at how simple things can be and how much quicker things can move when the King is expressed, how he's been taking action." whilst the call to an archetype goes way beyond material results, it still is beautiful to know how our lives can be enriched in doing so.
