The Healing Secrets of Iboga: A Journey to Self-Love & Healing
06/22/24 • 51 min
Discover the profound healing potential of Iboga with Saeeda as she shares insights on overcoming fear, embracing self-discovery, and achieving spiritual growth.
Join me for a fascinating chat with Saeeda where we dive deep into the world of iboga and plant medicine.
Saeeda shares her personal journey to iboga after struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, despite years working as a nurse and earning higher education degrees.
After one life-changing iboga experience, she realized she needed to learn more. She connected with a 10th generation shaman in Gabon, Africa and became initiated in the ancient Bwiti tradition.
Today Saeeda guides others on "psycho-spiritual journeys" to find self-love, heal trauma, reset neurochemistry, and connect with purpose.
We demystify common fears about iboga, distinguish it from isolated ibogaine, and dispel myths it's a "magic pill."
While powerful, the medicine relies on set, setting, intention, integration, and your willingness to do the deeper personal work.
Saeeda shares incredible perspectives on plant wisdom that aligns with leading-edge psychology and neuroscience.
This conversation may open your mind to new healing possibilities. I found so much value in Saeeda's words. Let me know your biggest takeaways in the comments!

Mindful Eating Mastery: Transform Your Relationship with Food
Discover how mindful eating can transform your relationship with food and help you break free from dieting with insights from Molly Zemek.
Hey friend! I recently had such an enlightening chat with Molly Zemek, an author and life coach who helps people create freedom around food.
She shared some super helpful insights around mindful eating, ditching the diet mentality, and getting to the root of emotional eating triggers.
A few big takeaways:
Overeating is often tied more to emotional appetite than physical hunger. Figuring out those deeper needs is key.
Dieting often backfires long-term. Restriction leads to rebellion and overeating. Approaching food from a place of abundance is more sustainable.
Mindful eating helps you tune into your body's signals so you can nourish yourself appropriately. It takes practice, but you'll get better at noticing when enough feels like enough.
Molly also talked about the role of scarcity mindset in overeating and how our past stories around food can unconsciously influence our habits today.
I'd love to hear your biggest struggles or lessons around mindful eating! Getting curious about our patterns is the first step.
And if you want to learn more, check out Molly's book Decoding Your Emotional Appetite.
Her podcast Weight Loss for Food Lovers is great too! Let me know what you think. Looking forward to connecting!
