Focused Transformation Coaching - A 6-week private coaching experience designed to help you move through one major block or transition in your life.
In this deeply personal and illuminating solo episode, Lana explores one of the most overlooked yet transformative aspects of healing and consciousness work—learning to receive. Drawing inspiration from her 5-MeO-DMT experience and her work as an Energy Leadership coach, she breaks down why receiving often feels so difficult, the cultural conditioning that drives over-giving and over-functioning, and how we can shift our energy to create balance, trust, and flow.

What is it like to spend a week in the deep jungle of Westen Africa, with nothing but a dirt floor, lots of Iboga, a skirt, and no necessities like water or a bed to rest in? In this intimate conversation, I welcome back my Iboga provider, and twice-initiated Bwiti practitioner Paije Alexandra West. With intention and care, Paije shares about her recent initiation into the Fang branch of the Bwiti tradition in Gabon. This is ultimately a conversation about what it means to walk the path of service with Iboga.
Paije shares carefully about her journey from working in ibogaine clinics to becoming a ceremonial iboga provider, and how initiation has shaped her life, her family, and her work with her retreat center, ETÈREO in Baja. She opens up about the realities of being a provider—the intensity, responsibility, and beauty of holding this medicine—and offers fresh insight into the role of women’s voices in the iboga space.

In this solo episode, we’re discussing a core insight from my own medicine path: the crucial energetic difference between healing and integration.
After years of ceremonies, coaching, and personal exploration, I realized that the constant search for healing was actually keeping me stuck in an identity of being “broken.” It wasn’t until very recently that I fully understood that wholeness doesn’t come from fixing, but from integrating who you already are.
This episode is an invitation to shift from a “healing orientation” rooted in victimhood and fixing, into an “integration orientation” rooted in authenticity, creativity, and self-acceptance.

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into a crucial topic that doesn’t get talked about enough: how to differentiate between fear and danger when working with psychedelics.
This episode was inspired by my coach training at iPEC and the powerful concept of Fearlessness—the idea that fear is a projection of the mind, not a present-moment truth.
Understanding the difference between fear and danger can literally be the difference between a transformative psychedelic experience and a traumatizing one. And the line between the two is not always clear—especially when psychological or energetic safety is involved.

In this heartfelt solo episode, I shares about my personal journey of reclaiming my roots in various ways. I reflects on how my psychedelic healing journey has helped me reconnect to my family, culture, and authentic self. As I prepares for a month-long trip to the Balkans, I shares how this healing journey, aided by psychedelics, has led me to re-engage with true passions like photography and fashion, as well as heal old wounds with my family of origin.
This episode is a reminder that the work of healing is not about becoming someone new, but about embracing who we truly are.

In perhaps my most raw episode yet, I share the recent experience of my second work with Iboga at Etéreo: Center for Truth in Baja, Mexico. As I recounted this journey, I shed many unexpected tears while reflecting on the resistance I faced, the shadows I had to confront, and the enormous clarity that emerged through this recent work with the Iboga medicine. With stern realness and my signature vulnerability, I discuss how Iboga worked on me as a sharp, clear mirror, showing me a part of myself I had long suppressed.
Guided by Paije A. West and her team, I was able to unearth and start bringing love and acceptance to the deep well of shame I had been working very diligently to keep hidden beneath the surface. This episode highlights the significance of preparation, the courage required to face the darkest aspects of ourselves, and the gifts that await when we’re willing to see ourselves clearly with Truth. This episode is a reflection on the beauty and intensity of the healing process, a declaration of love to Iboga, and an exploration of the journey towards radical self-acceptance.

In this solo episode, Lana dives into the often-overlooked phase of pre-work that occurs before a psychedelic ceremony or experience. Drawing on her own experiences as she prepares for her upcoming Iboga retreat, Lana explores how life often begins to feel chaotic and overwhelming as deep-seated emotions, traumas, and blockages rise to the surface in anticipation of the journey.
The theory being proposed here is that the pre-work phase is the medicine’s way of already working with you, helping you clear the path and integrate deeper healing before you even sit down for ceremony. Lana shares personal insights, offers tips for navigating this challenging yet transformative phase, and provides guidance for those experiencing similar discomfort.
Topics Covered:
- The pre-work phase: what happens before the ceremony and why it’s crucial
- Navigating chaos: how life can feel like it's falling apart before a big ceremony
- Overcoming fears, traumas, and emotional blockages through pre-work
- The importance of awareness during pre-work and trusting the process
- Emotional triggers and how to process them during this phase
- Practical tips for dealing with pre-work: engaging in grounding practices, therapy, and self-reflection
- How dreams, increased sensitivity, and heightened awareness can be signs of pre-work
- The benefits of enlisting support during the pre-work phase
- How to track your emotional and energetic shifts leading up to ceremony

"As we overcome our fears in medicine work, we also overcome our fears in life."
Welcome to SEASON 5! In this solo episode, we welcome the new year and explore the “medicine around the medicine”—those unexpected gifts that arise from working with psychedelics. Rather than focusing on the direct, intentional outcomes we seek through ceremonies, this conversation dives into the unintentional benefits that often unfold on the periphery. From discovering deeper devotion in our day-to-day lives, to enhancing our diets and fortifying relationships, these surprising transformations act as the welcomed “cherry on top” of our psychedelic journeys.
Lana shares personal insights about integrating medicines like ayahuasca, psilocybin, and iboga, highlighting how these experiences can spark inner trust and strengthen one’s connection to nature and spirituality. Listeners will also hear reflections on the value of patience, the courage required to confront fear, and how a long-term view of transformation can foster true metamorphosis. Whether you’re new to psychedelics or a seasoned explorer, this episode offers an inspiring reminder of how plant medicines can weave their wisdom into every aspect of life—often in ways we never expected.
Topics Covered:
- Cultivating devotion to what truly matters - Overcoming fear by facing the unknown - Embracing the long-term journey of transformation - Improved diet and physical well-being over time - Navigating shifts in friendships and relational dynamics - Deepening connection to nature and spirituality - Cultivating inner trust and honing intuition - Reflections on new beginnings and the power of intentions

In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of a Dopamine Detox, inspired by the book Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anne Lemke. I share what dopamine is, how overstimulation throws off our brain’s balance of pain and pleasure, and why I’m personally committing to stepping back from cannabis and shopping for the month of January. This episode isn’t just personal—it’s a call to reflect on your own habits, regain control, and start 2025 with clarity, intention, and purpose.

Many of us experience ego death through psychedelics, but what happens when someone actually dies and returns to share their insights? Kyle Buller, co-founder of Psychedelics Today, had his life transformed at 16 after a traumatic snowboarding accident left him with a profound near-death experience (NDE). In this episode, Kyle shares his journey from navigating his NDE to exploring altered states of consciousness through psychedelics, transpersonal psychology, and Holotropic Breathwork.
Kyle and Lana discuss how these extraordinary states can catalyze personal transformation, the critical importance of integration, and why taking time to slow down is essential for practitioners and explorers alike. In the meat of this conversation, they also explore the concept of spiritual emergence, a phenomenon where transformative experiences can lead to personal crises or growth, and how to navigate the fine line between awakening and overwhelm. Together, they examine the responsibility of psychedelic work and the need for cultural frameworks to support those undergoing these profound shifts.
Topics Covered:
- Gaps in the psychedelic education space
- Supporting individuals through different phases of psychedelic work
- Why bother having an expanded state of consciousness
- How to make the most out of challenging psychedelic experiences
- Pumping the breaks on transformational work and grounding into the everyday
- How Kyles NDE at age 16 changes his perspective on life and death

Are you feeling like the work isn’t working? Do you feel worse, rather than better? What if I told you that this is perfectly normal? Join me as we explore the reality that sometimes, before we reap the benefits of our healing journeys, we must confront the discomfort and emotional turbulence that arise.

By understanding that this discomfort is a natural part of the healing process, we can embrace the journey and recognize that facing our inner challenges is a sign of progress. Whether you're navigating your own healing or supporting others, this episode aims to validate your experience and encourage you to keep moving forward.
