Just discovered this podcast, and it's right up my alley! Wow, Pete Holmes... He's been one of my favorites for the past couple of years but lately listening to him on podcasts has been so healing for me as a woman to hear a man be able to conceptualize and verbalize and express his trauma and healing so vulnerably. but with pride and humor and showing that deep sense of pain thats there in the depths. What a brilliant mind!

One of the best episodes to date. As much as I love empathizing with the guests over their blocks, I really enjoyed a break to listen to psychedelic and comedic philosophy.

7:48 - Pete - " When I tell you that YOU're a good boy. then I'M in the mix." I also heard: ' If you can spot it, you got it. ' , which is a phrase, I first heard in 12 step meetings, and is very insightful.

In the '80's I did mushrooms once, ecstasy once -- both had an impact on my creativity and I got some cool writing out of the deal, but, it didn't open my consciousness like ayahuasca. Ayahuasca has had a lasting impact and spaciousness that has lingered.
