In this powerful episode of Spirits and Stories, host Donald Dunn sits down with former Marine Corps officer Susanna Rose, who shares her deeply personal journey from two combat tours in Afghanistan to becoming an energy priestess and psychedelics integration guide.

Susanna opens up about her spiritual awakening, the challenges of PTSD, and how psilocybin mushrooms and plant medicine helped her reconnect with her purpose. Together, they dive into:

• The science behind psilocybin and microdosing
• The healing potential of psychedelics for veterans
• How Trauma rewires the brain—and how to undo it
• The sacred importance of ceremony, setting, and integration
• Why Mental Health tools like Meditation, breathwork, and plant medicine are changing lives
