And I'm welcoming you to the hundredth episode of this podcast. I can't quite believe I've carried on for so long. It's been an amazing experience for me to do this podcast. I started this podcast because it was actually a bit of a mission for me to overcome those last little bits of social anxiety and fears about speaking to people. Especially people I really look up to. <br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nWhat it's meant doing this podcast<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nIt's been such a great learning experience for that. Not only do I get to speak to people that I really admire and look up to, but, I'm also growing my own confidence by putting myself out there. It's been really valuable on so many levels. Thank you so much. <br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nWhether you're joining and listening to my podcast for the first time, or whether you've listened since day one, thank you so much for being here. I really appreciate all of your messages and all the times that you let me know that you're listening that it's that it's helped you. It really makes a difference to me. So thank you for that. <br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nYes, it was a powerful experience<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nSo in this episode, I'm finally getting around to talking about my experience that I had back in December and January of 2019/20. Where I went on two different retreats to experience Ayahuasca medicine from South America. <br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nI have to say I've been putting this conversation off. I am feeling a certain amount of trepidation to even be talking about it because of the fact that it is not legal in the UK. It is legal in a lot of South American countries. There is definitely an aspect to it, which is pretty scary, a bit dangerous. And yet, it was such a powerful experience for me, and really did help me in lots of interesting ways. <br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nWhat you can expect from this episode<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nI'm going to describe a lot of things about the experience from why I decided to do it, what it was like being in the jungle, the things that I was afraid of, and the insights that I gained. <br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nDisclaimer<br />\n<br />\n<br />\n<br />\nI also want to share a disclaimer that I'm not suggesting that anyone else go out and have this experience. There are risks involved. If you're considering this, please do a lot of research. You hear horror stories about people who go to Peru and find so...","author_name":"Chloe Brotheridge"}
