#06 - Brigit Ritchie: 56 Questions for Ibogaine

Brigit is the founder and CEO of We, a learning studio that provides workshops and experiences to help people develop relational mindfulness within their relationships at work. She’s also an intimacy and relationship coach, a mom, and an artist.

What we discuss:

  • what life was like before a recent ibogaine experience at Beond
  • how she struggled to maintain a work-life balance
  • how her relationships with alcohol and tobacco had become problematic without much awareness of how these substances were affecting her
  • how she had hoped that treatment with ibogaine might help her heal from the trauma of experiencing abuse as a child
  • her intense preparation for her experience
  • how she developed a list of not 2 or 3 but 56 questions for ibogaine
  • how her ibogaine experience, which was wildly different than what she expected, could have gone in two very different directions

Why it’s important: Brigit’s story is one that many of us can relate to: how many of us are struggling with burnout, numbing our pain with substances, and sitting with unresolved childhood trauma? There’s a lot to learn from Brigit’s understanding of relationships and intimacy, and from her experience navigating her ibogaine treatment.
