I'm so proud to bring you today's episode of Altared Podcast with Sylvester McNutt. Never have I seen a teacher, coach, guide, author extraordinaire be so equipped. Equipped with wisdom for you that is tried and true, that is factual, and available to you in any moment.

In our conversation we discuss what to do with pain, and how to move through it. We talk about purpose and how to find it inward and outward. We touch on boundaries, what they are, why we need them, and he even gives examples of things we can say to set them...

Basically, Sylvester is a gift, and this episode is your Care Package. That also happens to be the name of his latest book published by Hay House. Give it a listen, and if you dug it, share it. If you haven't already, please give Altared a 5 - star review wherever you listen as this will help spread the good word. Connect to our beloved Sylvester, and learn more about him, below.

I believe the best decision I ever made was to commit to a lifetime of healing, presence, and joy.

During the 1980s my parents brought me into this world at the end of August. Growing up with four seasons in the Chicago-land area gave me access to year-round activity and engagement. I fell in love quickly with sports, the arts, and expressing myself as a human being. There was pain & addiction in my family system that I had to overcome. When I was younger I wished I had the skills, knowledge, and energy to keep my parents together, to keep my family unit together. This thirst for an understanding of psychology, communication, and spirituality became my life’s dharma. Now, I’m 10+ years into my career as an author, speaker, podcast host, and I also am certified yoga teacher. I became the adult that I needed as a kid. I believe the best decision I ever made was to commit to healing, presence, and joy.

Namaste,

Sylvester

Trauma, Medicine, and Mothering Ourselves with Lauren Taus

Lauren Taus is the fiercest medicine I know of. Truly. Her very being-ness is salve for the soul. Our sisterhood, the way we jam, her phenomenal wisdom, her words, wow wow super wow. Lauren and I share a lot, we have a lot of similar life experiences that allow us to see the world through a similar lens. Witnessing the deaths of our mothers, both of us struggled with anorexia for years, both of us are in the healing space, and we are even born 1 day apart.

There is so much juicy goodness in this episode, we talk about inner child work and how to cultivate a more loving relationship with ourselves. We talk about psychedelics and how to use them with reverence. We hone in on grief and loss and moving through them both. I'm so glad you're here and willing to listen, as this episode with Lauren was such a pleasure co-create.

If you haven't already, will you take a moment to leave a 5-star review and a written review of this episode, and if it resonates, please share it far and wide.

Below you'll find a bit more about Lauren, and be sure to follow her @lauren.taus LET'S GO!

Lauren graduated summa cum laude from Barnard College at Columbia University with a BA in Religion before completing her Masters in Social Work at NYU. Lauren focuses on the matrices that hold individuals, rejecting mainstream efforts to pathologize people as if their symptoms could be isolated from their environments. Licensed as a clinical therapist in both New York and California, Lauren believes that life - and good psychotherapy - is psychedelic. She is trained by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies), the Ketamine Training Center and in the shamanic realms. Lauren feels honored to partner with plant and compound allies in her work, but will always hold loving relationships as the most important medicine, and the only one we all really need. Lauren’s biggest prayer is to wake people up to the magic of life and what they’re part of. Lauren understands that the highest form of personal healing contributes to collective liberation. She feels particularly excited to share her work publicly. Lauren is a frequent contributor on stages at psychedelic conferences such as Meet Delic, Wonderland and Trail Blazers. Her work has also been featured in magazines such as Double Blind, New York Magazine, Chacruna, the Guardian, and Forbes.
