9 – Exploring Consciousness: My Trek Into the Mexican Jungle for the Ancient “God Molecule” MedicineOwen is back for episode nine. Owen drops a raw, unfiltered opening rant on what it actually takes to build a craft from ground zero. He pulls back the curtain on the "alone period" of chasing a dream, proving why you have to do the work for yourself long before anyone else starts to care.The conversation then takes a deeply personal and visceral turn as Owen shares the brutal reality of moving to Denver only to immediately herniate his disc for the second time. He details the agony of lightning sciatica, an unexpected kidney stone, and the grueling journey through spinal fusion surgery that left him with six screws, a metal rod, and a scar that gives him the world's longest butt crack.Desperate to travel, and move, Owen catches a cheap flight to Tulum, Mexico. What started as a simple vacation quickly evolves into a profound quest for healing. By total happenstance, he discovers a local sanctuary and books a session with a shaman to take an ancient spiritual medicine known as the legendary "God Molecule" secreted by the Sonoran Desert toad.Owen then describes his experience and the lasting lessons of self-love and universal interconnection that completely reshaped how he views life, death, and the universe.Follow, Like, and Subscribe:Instagram: o.g.lolTikTok: owengiffordlolYouTube: theowengiffordshow
