In this episode of MPOWERU, Sarah sits down with healer and retreat facilitator Tara Portelli for a deep conversation about transformation, surrender, and the sacred medicine of psilocybin.

Together, Sarah and Tara explore:
The power of psilocybin therapy in breaking patterns of fear, depression, and trauma
Why intention and integration matter more than “quick fixes”
The role of sound healing, movement, meditation, and hypnotherapy in Tara’s retreats
How psychedelic work can open portals — and why protection and energetic boundaries are vital
The future of psychedelic therapy in mental health and Tara’s upcoming Legacy docu-series

For years, fear ran my life.
It looked like OCD patterns I couldn’t break.
It sounded like the lies I whispered to myself—just one more check, one more pattern, and I’ll feel safe.
But no matter what I did, peace never came… because I wasn’t getting to the root of it.
In this episode, I’m sharing something personal:
→ What it was like living in a body that didn’t feel safe
→ How control became my coping mechanism
→ And how I slowly learned to trust again—myself, my body, and the universe
This isn’t a story of perfection or overnight healing.
It’s about nervous system repair, intuitive reconnection, and the soul purpose I discovered on the other side of fear.
If you’re stuck in survival mode…
If you’ve been gripping tightly, trying to stay “in control”…
This episode is for you.
You’re not broken. You’re just remembering who you really are.
