The journey through awakening, addictions, success, failures, growth and pivoting

from The Raya Karin Podcast · host Raya Karin

Meet Keegan Downer, founder and CEO of Mindful Meds. We sit down and explore the journey from teen to early adulthood, addictions, business school, successes, failures, growth, awakening, pivots and learning to trust your intuition. In 2016, I checked myself into a rehab facility for the first time after nearly a decade of struggling with mental health and using alcohol to deal with it. This was the first step along my healing journey...One thing that has stuck with me since then is this...Addressing mental health, and giving others the tools they need to overcome their challenges and become the best version of themselves is BY FAR the greatest gift I could possibly give to the world.After a rollercoaster ride in the rehab system, I began to look into natural and accessible (rehab is EXPENSIVE) ways to address my own issues...this is where mindfulMEDS was born.I heard of the potential benefits of mushrooms for mental health and addiction - so we decided to create a small study, to see how effective these could be. The results were STAGGERING.You can read all about it in our free guide to microdosing on the mindfulMEDS website.These medicines have changed so many lives, and I continue to use them to support, uplift and maintain my mental health. I have been alcohol free for years now, and have a mission to help others do the same.Here’s what I really want you to understand about nootropics: This isn’t some magic “fix me” capsule.The magic and the healing you’re looking for live on the other side of the work you’ve been avoiding.BUT...combining DOING THE WORK with these nootropic microdose products can 10X the speed and efficacy of your results.We build products for people that are ready and willing to change their lives.If you have to drink alcohol around your friends every time you hang out - you don’t have friends, you have drinking buddies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Our friends are those we can share new ideas with...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀tell them good news with no fear of envy...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀tell them bad news with no fear of judgement...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀and most importantly, those who uplift, energize and empower us with their presence.Find Keegan on: https://www.instagram.com/mindfulmeds_ca/https://www.instagram.com/mindfulmeds2.0/https://mindfulmeds.io/Connect with Raya Karin www.rayaswellness.comhttps://www.instagram.com/rayaswellness/https://www.facebook.com/raya.karin.7/https://www.facebook.com/raya.karin.7/https://www.linkedin.com/in/raya-karin-12348b181/https://www.youtube.com/@rayaswellness
