Our guest is Jill Sitnick. She is the author of “Rescuing Jill, How MDMA, with a Dash of Magic Mushrooms, Healed my Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD.”
About The EpisodeIn recent years there's been a lot of research looking at MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. There are also a number of clinical trials looking at psilocybin (magic mushrooms) to treat depression. And both of those are probably very close to getting approved in the next couple of years.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Jill Sitnick. She is the author of “Rescuing Jill, How MDMA, with a Dash of Magic Mushrooms, Healed my Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD.” Jill shares her experience with PTSD to explain her healing with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. She is a strong advocate for more research into psychedelics for mental health issues in the hopes of giving more people the opportunity to heal.
What We Discuss With Jill:- What is MDMA
- How can psychedelics help you heal from trauma
- Psychedelic-assisted therapy and recreational tripping are very different experiences
- Who should NOT use psychedelic therapy
- Why is "set and setting" so important for this therapy
- Why do people say this therapy is 10 years of therapy in 8 hours

143. How To Fight Back Against Your Fear And Ignore Your Biggest Critics With Dana Sardano
Summary
Our guest is Dana Sardano from Uniquely U and the author of the “Ten Recommandments For Personal Empowerment.”
About the episodeWhere do your limiting beliefs come from? There is no one answer to this question as we all have different experiences and life paths that have led to the formation of our limiting beliefs. A limiting belief is a thought, idea, or opinion about oneself that you keep even when you have evidence that it’s wrong.
Some people may have them because they have heard a family member or friend say it, or they may have seen it in a movie or book. They can keep you from achieving your goals, and they can make you feel unhappy. Often they become entrenched and self-defeating because we don't question them. We live by them and act on them without ever considering their origins.
In this episode of The Fit Mess, We're joined by Dana Sardano, author of The Ten Recommandments for Personal empowerment. She shares what you can do to start identifying the thought or belief that is holding you back and then explore what you can do to let it go so you can live a happier, more fulfilled life.
What We Discuss with Dana:- Releasing the fear and realizing your dreams
- Ten Recommandments for Personal Empowerment
- How to not be a victim
