Krista Meinert: Take the First Step and Trust the Journey

from The Sacred Gut Punch · host Dr. Tomi Bryan

In this episode, Krista Meinert shares the devastating story of losing her son Jake, a U.S. Marine killed in action in Afghanistan in January 2010. She describes her long journey through grief — from burying her emotions in "task mode" to eventually finding healing through yoga, nature, climbing mountain high points across the country, and participating in a psilocybin study for long-term grief. Inspired by her experience, Krista is now pursuing her license under Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act to facilitate psilocybin journeys for others, guided by her mantra: "Take the first step and trust the journey."
