Motherhood, Medicine, and Moving from Control to Connection

In this episode, I speak with Joi Whitmore, host and fellow Wayfinder Coach, about recognizing the control hiding beneath our desire to protect. We talk about nervous-system patterns, inner-child work, taking responsibility for the ways our unhealed stories enter our relationships, and learning how to love our adult children without handing them every fear that rises inside us.

We also talk about plant medicine—not as a magic wand or a tidy story in which psychedelics “fix” a relationship, but as one part of a much longer path that includes education, coaching, self-inquiry, embodied awareness, accountability, and integration.
