Back to the Path of Endless Possibilities with Matt Simpson

Explicit
An author, podcaster, and Microdose Mentor, Matt Simpson is guiding disenchanted high achievers worldwide to discover a path back to a life of passion and possibility as he did.   After years of hiding from his unhealed childhood traumas, Matt decided to face his past and heal the trauma that was stopping him from living his dream life.   After a profound psychedelic healing experience in the jungles of Costa Rica, Matt was able to move past his crippling addiction, depression, and the childhood-sexual trauma which garbled up his nervous system and nearly killed him.   Once healed, Matt left his career running corporate companies in Corporate America to help others with their post-traumatic growth and healing through plant medicines.   Now the author of Worth The Fight: Acting for a Better World, A Guide to Spirituality, Psychedelic Medicines, and Overcoming Trauma, Matt helps coach others to maximize the benefit of psychedelic healing to live healthy, happier, strong, service-driven lives. He has facilitated over 100 psychedelic experiences for our veterans to transition them from post-traumatic stress disorder to post-traumatic growth.   He donates 100% of the profits of his book to veteran charities to empower psychedelic healing in our warriors further.   Listen in as Matt and I sit down and discuss how finally dealing with his childhood traumas helped him discover his passion for helping others do the same and a mission to take care of our veterans that eventually led him to a path of FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
