Adventures of the Founding Five: Following the Mycelial Threads

In this very special episode, we follow the golden threads of connection that led to the creation of the Wayfinder Psychedelic Collective — a story woven across friendship, intuition, and a shared call to bring the feminine back into psychedelic spaces.We begin with Brooke Heller, who shares how the seeds were first planted during Wayfinder Life Coach Training and Master Coach Training, where she met Joi. From early microdosing experiments to witnessing a vision take form, Brooke reflects on the awe of watching something that began as a whisper grow into a movement.The journey deepens with Kristen Shirkey, who reveals why she felt called to name this work Psychedelic Wayfinder. She’s joined by her soul-sister Anahi Abe-Brower, whose embodied wisdom and curiosity helped point them both toward the path we’re now walking together. Their stories remind us how the body often knows before the mind catches up.From there, Joi opens up about the courage it took to stop hiding and claim her niche out loud — right as Samantha McLenachen was feeling her own call into this work. That synchronicity wasn’t just timing, it was part of the web: proof that when we follow the whispers, allies appear.It’s impossible to capture the whole magic of this conversation in words. This episode is living proof of what happens when women follow their intuition, trust connection, and honor the mycelial pathways between us.You’ll have to listen to feel it.
