Lauren Flax -Inner Child Work, Harm Reduction and Ayuhuasca

Today's guest is the incredible multi- talented Lauren Flax, recently crowned " Underground Hero" by DJ Mag she truly is a hero not only musically but also in her political activism and with work she does with the organistaion Last Night A DJ Saved My Life which gives access to Narcan ( aka Nalaxone) to help reduce accidental overdoses due to Fentanyl. Aside from all this Lauren has been on a true heroes journey personally. she's been on a healing path for 10 year and sober for 6 of them. Lauren attributes her recent success and long overdue recognition to the intense personal work she's been doing in this time and the perspective shift that has enabled her to step into her true authenicity.
