From Loss to Self-Discovery: Psychedelics, Emotional Regulation & Personal Growth

In this deeply reflective conversation, therapist and host Malisa Hepner sits down with Julie Cyvonne, a former attorney turned high-performance psychedelic coach, to explore the transformative intersections of grief, personal evolution, and plant medicine. Julie shares her journey of leaving a traditional career path to pursue deeper healing, offering insight into how psychedelics—particularly microdosing—can support emotional regulation, clarity, and sustainable growth.

Together, they unpack the nuanced experience of grief, the longing to feel seen in our pain, and the courage it takes to become emotionally visible. This conversation moves beyond surface-level healing, emphasizing the importance of integration, self-awareness, and navigating relationships with honesty and intention.

Through personal stories and grounded insight, this episode invites listeners into a deeper understanding of self-discovery, acceptance, and the ongoing process of becoming who we truly are—even in the aftermath of loss.

• Integration matters more than the experience. Whether using plant medicine or not, true healing happens in how you process, embody, and apply what you uncover.

• Emotional visibility is a practice. Being seen starts with allowing yourself to acknowledge what's true internally.

• Microdosing is not an escape—it's a tool. Sustainable growth comes from pairing insight with intentional daily practices.
