Let's Talk About It with Lori Streator The Healing Potential of Psychedelics: Exploring the Transformative Power of Psilocybin with Julie Cyvonne
In this episode of Let's Talk About It with Lori Streator, I got the opportunity to sit down with Julie Cyvonne, a former attorney and now psychedelic facilitator, to explore the healing potential of psilocybin mushrooms and the growing role of psychedelics in mental health.
Julie shared her deeply personal journey - from battling career expectations and anxiety to discovering how intentional, evidence-based psychedelic work can transform lives. She explains what microdosing really is (and isn't), how set and setting influence every experience, and why integration is just as important as the psychedelic journey itself.
You'll hear some of her client success stories, insights from Julie's work with over 300 microdosing participants, and the science and spirituality behind her retreats and 30-day integration protocols.
This conversation breaks down myths, removes stigma, and gives you a grounded, compassionate perspective on how psychedelics can be used safely and intentionally for healing, wellness, self-discovery, and personal growth.
