Episode Description
In this episode, Bill and Marty welcome guest Marisa Skolky, a transformational doula, expressive arts facilitator, and psychedelic integration coach who blends IFS-informed work, somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, and reiki. Marissa shares her origin story as a highly sensitive person, her lifelong struggle with eating disorders, and a turning point when severe illness led her to a three-month sabbatical in Mexico and an iboga experience that reset her nervous system and prompted her to leave a corporate insurance career.
