Ep. 153: Psychedelic Exceptionalism
This week we talk about the idea of “psychedelic exceptionalism” – what it means, how it’s affecting the War on Drugs, and even whether we should be concerned about it at all.
Welcome to the Rebel Buddhist™ Podcast, where I help you free your mind so you can free your life. This podcast is for the rebellious ones. The wild people. I share my stories and what I’ve learned about being a rebel soul who wants to tame her mind…but not her life. It’s led to plenty of adventures and misadventures. I’ve learned tons of tools that combine Buddhist psychology, real-world mindfulness, cognitive coaching, and modern brain science – sort of like if Buddhism and science had a love child. I want to share them with you as we walk this path together. I’m not sharing this as a dharma teacher, but as a fellow practitioner with some street cred. Welcome to my world.

In this episode, we talk about sensitivity and its relationship to addiction. We’ll also look at how we can begin to heal ourselves and build resilience as sensitive people in a world that can feel very overwhelming.
This episode is all about being a leader in this world and our own lives every day. It’s about entering the room and turning the vibe into what you see would be the most skillful at the time – instead of automatically letting that vibe affect and change you, which is more reactionary. Sort of like the difference between a thermostat – which regulates the environment – vs a thermometer, which reacts to the environment.
This episode is all about triggers and resilience. We’ll jam on how and why we become triggered in the first place, and how to use mindfulness practices and cultivate resilience to help take our power back.
This episode is all about how to use your dreams for Soulwork. We’ll talk about dreamwork in general, and how we can use our dreams to help us on our spiritual path as well. Plus I’ll give you some tips and questions to help you get started in your dreamwork TONIGHT.
This week’s topic is about looking at the power of deep intention and WTF it even means, ways that we can strengthen our intention, and also address some of the confusion that comes up around it.
