From the highs of cocaine to the healing journeys of ayahuasca, we explore how different drugs have shaped our social behaviors and self-acceptance. Simmy shares personal stories of battling insecurity, dealing with anxiety, and overcoming self-destructive habits through various treatments and rituals. Together, we also tackle the challenges and revelations that come with sobriety, the quest for healthier alternatives like the new “brew” containing kava and kratom, and the complexities of dating without relying on alcohol as a social lubricant. Join us as we unpack these unique experiences and reflect on the integral role substances have played in our lives. Plus, we’ll introduce some tools and insights that have helped us shift toward a more balanced and confident state of being.
