✨ New Episode Alert! ✨

This week on The Alchemical Path, I sit down with Dr. Heidi Dalzell, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, author, and lifelong seeker who’s bridging the worlds of science, soul, and psychedelic healing.

With over 30 years of experience, Heidi has been at the forefront of integrating psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy into trauma and eating disorder recovery. She’s certified in Ketamine- and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy, MAPS-trained in MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy, and mentors other therapists through Journey Clinical as they begin their own psychedelic integration work.

In this conversation, we explore:
💫 The role of psychedelics and plant medicines in embodiment and recovery
💫 How psychospiritual counseling bridges the gap between science and the sacred
💫 The importance of integration — bringing insights from ceremony into daily life
💫 Heidi’s own journey as both clinician and seeker, and her upcoming move to Sedona 🌄

Heidi’s wisdom reminds us that healing is not just about symptom relief — it’s about remembering who we truly are, reclaiming our wholeness, and walking our path with intention.

This week on The Alchemical Path, I sit down with Sam Pow, a therapist and clinical supervisor whose work invites us to completely reimagine how we think about suicidality, healing, and what it means to be alive.

Sam’s philosophy of Su***de Resilience views suicidal thoughts not as something to fear or suppress, but as a message — a call to create a life that truly feels worth living.

In this conversation, we explore:
💫 How to turn toward pain with curiosity and compassion
💫 The deep connection between healing and liberation — and how dismantling patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism creates space for true wholeness
💫 The power of psychedelic integration to support emotional and spiritual growth
💫 Sam’s personal and professional journey, and the importance of community and creativity in building resilience

Sam also shares about their Resiliency Group in Los Angeles, which offers space for connection, meaning-making, and empowerment for those navigating suicidality and emotional overwhelm.

This episode is an invitation to see the alchemy within the darkness — to remember that even our most painful moments can become portals to self-discovery, liberation, and life.

🍂✨ It’s here! ✨🍂

On the Fall Equinox, September 21, as day and night stand in perfect balance, I’m so excited to release the very first episode of The Alchemical Path 🎙️

This season of turning inward and harvesting wisdom feels like the perfect time to share conversations that illuminate how therapy, healing, and alchemy weave together.

The Alchemical Path is a sacred space for raw and transformative stories from therapists, healers, and guides who are doing things differently. Together, we’ll explore how pain, trauma, and transition can become the very material of transformation.
