In this episode of Soul Unleashed, I sit down with my nephew, Jamie Gerardi, as we talk about his profound spiritual journey with Ayahuasca. Jamie shares his personal experience—what drew him to try it, the intense preparation process, and the spiritual healing he received. We explore how Ayahuasca helped him confront generational trauma and find deeper connections to his own spirituality. If you’ve ever been curious about alternative paths to spiritual growth or simply want to learn more about plant medicine, this conversation will inspire and enlighten you.

My podcasts target left-brained types like me, whose rigid view of life restricts us from considering things outside the tightly organized spiritual paradigm we either grew up with or built for ourselves.
Follow my podcasts to discuss serious topics like grief, human suffering, prayer, religion, and spiritual practices. I also cover things that I used to consider craziness or “woo-woo” such as: meditation, manifestation, spiritualism, spiritual awakening, reincarnation, past-life regression, the channeling of spirits and aliens (seriously…), soul groups, astrology, and even Chinese fortune cookies!
