Today we are joined by the warrior poet himself, Aubrey Marcus, for a deep dive into the journey of awakening and integration. Aubrey shares what it means to be a warrior poet, stepping into the role of divine masculinity, and discovering his worth beyond his accomplishments.

Aubrey also opens up about the recent death of his father, and how he healed from grief and loss. He shares his path with plant medicine. Beginning at the age of 18, he has used psychedelics as a tool for growth and expansion, explaining that he doesn't know who he'd be without them. He shares how to avoid common pitfalls on the plant medicine path, and why integration is simpler than most think.

Aubrey also dives into his journey with building and selling a multi-million dollar company, what success feels like, and why money won't solve everything.
