And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

 Host: David Smith Guest: Spirited Journey

In this episode, David Smith and Spirited Journey dive deep into the fascinating world of brain science, the evolving field of psychology, and the resurgence of psychedelic research. They discuss the pioneering work on LSD and how it influenced modern psych meds, explore alternative therapies like holotropic breathwork developed by Stanislav Grof, and share personal experiences with psychedelic and near-death states.

Spirited Journey shares her perspective on the evolving landscape of identity politics and the importance of nuanced advocacy.
