In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, I welcome Leslie Draffin, a former TV news anchor turned somatic psychedelic guide. Leslie shares her profound journey of overcoming Depression, Anxiety, and addiction through psychedelic medicine after conventional therapies and medications failed to address her core wounds. She discusses her history of shame and Trauma stemming from early experiences and societal pressures and highlights the transformational power of psychedelic experiences in her healing process. The conversation delves into the importance of setting, dosage, and integration in psychedelic practices, emphasizing that integration work is crucial yet often overlooked. Leslie also reflects on her evolving relationship with spirituality and God, aided by her experiences with psychedelics, and offers guidance for those considering this path. The episode underscores the significance of consciously integrating lessons learned from psychedelics into one’s daily life to achieve true healing and transformation.
Leslie Draffin is a somatic psychedelic guide, sensual embodiment coach & menstrual cycle educator focused on helping women embrace their bodies, sex, and psychedelics. She supports conscious women & menstruators who want to heal themselves & connect more deeply with the divine through intentional micro-dosing, womb reconnection, pleasure activation & cyclical living.
