How Darkness Heals Darkness with Ben Stewart #336
During my week in the darkness in Germany, my only companion was a tape recorder. What was captured was raw, brutal, and illuminating. Ben Stewart is a legendary documentary filmmaker and he compiled all of the footage into an incredible film, woven together with stories of the ancient rituals involving the darkness. In this podcast we talk about the making of the film, the lessons from the darkness, and how it applies to the crazy world we find ourselves in today.

Loving Through The Darkness with Vylana Marcus & Caitlyn Howe #335
One of my best podcasts of all time, this emotional conversation that’s been 16 years in the making, is with my wife Vylana Marcus and former fiance / best friend Caitlyn Howe. We sit down with a bottle of whiskey and let it all out. We each take turns sharing our darkest hours and deepest shadows, with a lot of tears and a lot of laughs. We discuss my devastating 6 days in a darkness retreat, my ongoing relationship with self-love, the impetus of my name change from Chris to Aubrey Marcus, and the erotic aspect of harming oneself, to name a few themes. But perhaps most powerfully, Vylana and Caitlyn share their own shocking and emotional challenges in their relationship to the masculine.

Internal Family Systems In Action with Founder Richard Schwartz PHD #333
Dr. Richard Schwartz PHD is the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS) psychotherapy, and in this podcast he brings me into a vulnerable and emotional reconciliation with an aspect of my Self. IFS is a transformative model of psychotherapy that seeks to integrate fractured ‘parts’ of our identity that are developed from experiential wounds (trauma) occurring early on in life. The idea is to acknowledge the adaptive role that these parts have played, and invite them to integrate back within our core Self, so that we can re-capture our fullest expression. This is an extremely powerful show. A special thank you to the Psychedelic Coalition for Health for inviting me to host my show on their platform.

Why People Give Up Freedom W/ Prof. Mattias Desmet #331
What are the conditions in any society that will cause a people to willingly sacrifice their freedoms? Mattias Desmet has studied and lectured extensively on this phenomenon. He is a professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University has and holds a masters degree in statistics. After noticing some anomalies in the statistical analyses conducted during the pandemic, he became concerned by the consensus narrative. He joined me today to discuss his expertise in a phenomenon called ‘mass formation’, a type of collective hypnosis essential for the rise of totalitarian regimes. He provides the step by step formula for this collective psychosis to take hold and how this relates to our current situation. He cautions against the dangers of our current societal landscape and offers solutions both individually and collectively to prevent the willing sacrifice of our freedoms.

Witches, Dragons, and Ayahuasca w/ Blu #328
Recently I was joined by my soul sister, Blu in an epic series of ayahuasca with my OG shaman El Dragón De La Selva. As much as I never thought I would say this, she is a real life witch (the good kind) and I was fortunate enough to witness her magic firsthand. While the experience itself was absolutely ineffable, I patiently ask her to break down her methods and secrets in this podcast (as much as can be discussed). For more from Blu follow her @bluofearth and on the Deja Blu podcast.

Living Your Mission In Trying Times W/ Erick Godsey #327
In today’s podcast I am joined by my brother, Erick Godsey. A few years ago, Erick was working at Chipotle, wondering what the hell “guacamole is extra” had to do with his purpose. Then he took a leap of faith and decided to take the course, Go For Your Win, which he credits as the catalyst for living the life of his dreams today.
A week ago I was restless, and wavering between anxiety and depression. Without being fully aware of what I was doing, I went back to the map provided by Go For Your Win. I found my mission again, and everything changed.
This podcast tells the story of how to discover your purpose in these trying times, and the immense sacrifice that comes with changing your mind. If any of you are frustrated with friends or family that think differently from you, this podcast is essential.
For anyone interested, enrollment in Go For Your Win mastermind community will be open for a few more days. Sign up here!
