Psychedelic Healing with Jesse Carlota Heid - a podcast by Ruby Warrington

Jesse Carlota Heid is the very first person I invited to be a guest on THE NOW AGE. We connected when Jesse wrote a piece for The Numinous about her former life as a habitual psychedelics user, and what this experience taught her about how we heal—still one of my favorite articles on the site. Now over ten years sober, Jesse is a writer, healer, advocate, and ritual artist, as well as being a proud infertile mother. And she is also one of the most magical speakers I have ever met, with a unique gift for articulating deeply complex and mystical concepts.

In episode #2 of The Now Age, we discuss:

• 
  

  When and why "self-medicating" can be a good thing

  
  


• 
  

  How and why our bodies store emotional pain

  
  


• 
  

  Living with undiagnosed Endometriosis since childhood—and how she manages her own chronic pain

  
  


• 
  

  The lasting fallout of abuse, poverty, and neglect and how to heal from trauma

  
  


• 
  

  The power of "Story Medicine" and her work with the mythopoetic approach to healing

  
  


• 
  

  The fallout from the colonization of and her own separation from her indigenous Mexican heritage
