Published on: 12th October, 2023

Are you ready to redefine the boundaries of your comfort zone? Join us on an enlightening journey with our guest, Stefanie Carey, a holistic wellness practitioner, as we delve deeper into the realm of healing, Ayahuasca experiences, and the art of setting boundaries. Stefanie reveals the transformative power of Ayahuasca and offers invaluable advice on preparing for such a profound spiritual journey.

We journey through the Harry Potter fandom, childhood hyper fixations, and what Zeus might order at a Cheesecake Factory. Our conversation extends further into the art of showing compassion to oneself and others; we draw insights from the Moonology Oracle Card deck that affirm nothing is set in stone, and adjustments are necessary for growth. We discuss the importance of physical activity as a transformative tool and the power of yoga in healing and personal growth. Stefanie's bravery and vulnerability as she shares her journey and experiences with ayahuasca are both inspiring and enlightening.


We wrap up our conversation with a discussion on the importance of setting boundaries and putting oneself first. We explore the challenges of surrender and self-healing, the power of words in creating a safe space for healing, and the importance of listening to your body and honoring its needs. Stephanie's journey of self-healing and personal growth is a testament to the power of holistic wellness and plant medicine. Join us in this enlightening conversation and be prepared to redefine the boundaries of your comfort zone.

I’m Crystal, an energy worker and life coach specializing in boundary work, and a mom of two beautiful wildings. I’m on a mission to stay soft in the face of hard things, while guiding others to do the same through answering the invitation to embody their whole self.

I’m Vienna, mom of three goblins, yoga teacher in training, deeply self conscious and learning how to take up space. This phase of my life is about embracing my old favorite parts of myself, nurturing new ones and letting them harmonize into the new me.
