#51 - Yan Katz: From Burnout to Brotherhood

How do you prepare for one of the most powerful psychedelic medicines on earth?

In this episode of Talia Eisenberg speaks with Yan Katz, a clinical counselor and coach at Beond, whose own healing journey reshaped his view of masculinity, purpose, and the long arc of integration.

Yan shares his path from high-pressure careers in finance and the music industry to becoming a psychotherapist and men’s work facilitator. He describes how psychedelics, and ultimately Ibogaine, helped him reconnect with vulnerability, redefine success, and step into service. The discussion explores masculine conditioning, the importance of preparation and integration, somatic awareness, and how coaching can support lasting transformation after Ibogaine.

Yan Katz is a clinical counselor, preparation and integration coach at Beond, and men’s work facilitator. Drawing on psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and somatic methods, he supports clients ranging from veterans to executives in navigating psychedelic healing and building sustainable change.
