We haven’t talked about psychedelics here on Substack — until now.
Because for us, it’s never been about mind-altering substances or chasing transcendence. It’s about reverence. It’s about integration. It’s about how women are reclaiming their authorship in a world that doesn’t always understand the depth of that work.
So when we sat down with Natasja Pelgrom, we knew we were in for something special.
Natasja is a renowned guide, mystic, and facilitator who’s been doing this work — the real work — for decades. She’s led over 800 ceremonies and trained space-holders all over the world. Getting her on the podcast felt like a coup. But more than that, it felt like meeting an old friend.
This episode isn’t just about psychedelics — it’s about integrity, discernment, and the courage to lead from wholeness, not performance..
In this conversation, we go deep into:
The unseen emotional labour of holding space for others
How grief is part of the medicine
Navigating spiritual awakenings and career pivots
Integration, ego, and the risks of psychedelic misuse
Natasha’s powerful experience in complete darkness for 3 days
The need for a “sacred pause” in our hectic world
If you’re curious about psychedelic healing, or if you’re navigating your own initiation, this episode is a must-listen.
Because this is what our work is really about: helping women rewire the inner patterns of people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and over-responsibility — so we can dismantle the patriarchy from the inside out.
With love
