“I Thought I was a Peacock, but Turns out I was a Woodpecker"
a true story about mushrooms, animals, and finally seeing myself clearly
I used to think my spirit animal had to be something obvious.
A wolf, maybe. Or a panther. Or even a peacock- bright, admired, unforgettable.
The kind of animal people look at and go, “Wow.”
And if I’m being honest, I wanted to be a “wow” animal. I wanted that to be my reflection. That kind of power. That kind of presence.

And if I’m being honest, I wanted to be a “wow” animal. I wanted that to be my reflection. That kind of power. That kind of presence.
Then I took a few mushrooms and went on a nature hike in a National Park with two dear friends.
We were in a safe container. The kind of container that makes you feel held enough to fall inward. And that was the intention—not to chase wild visuals or have some mind-blowing trip, but to reconnect.
To the forest.
To the medicine.
To myself.

Thankfully I didn’t, and instead went on a long healing journey-
trying everything from therapy, plant medicine, neurofeedback, TMS, ashrams, pharmaceuticals (getting on and getting off), hypnosis, and more.
That path led me to create a space where i can help others
find their way to mental wellness.

A few years ago, in the middle of what looked like the height of my success
after selling TOMS Shoes and helping give 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need,
I was battling depression. It got so bad that I almost took my life.
