Something weird happens in midlife: the old scripts stop working, the noise gets louder, and the truth gets harder to ignore. I sit down with award-winning author and serial entrepreneur Kris Land to talk about what comes after that crack in the surface, when a spiritual awakening starts pulling you toward the divine within and you’re not sure whether you’re losing it or finally waking up.

Kis shares the early experiences that shaped his path, including childhood out-of-body experiences and a near-death wake-up call that made “normal reality” feel a lot less solid. We connect that to the surprisingly common midlife question that hits even high achievers: If I did everything I was told would make me successful, why do I still feel empty? From there, we go deep into what Kris found through studying many religions and why he believes the great teachers aren’t here to rescue us, they’re here to remind us of what we already are.

We also unpack Kris’s core framework from The Infinity Within: Break Through Fear, Trust Your Inner Power, and Create a Life That Reflects Who You Truly Are. We talk about the four rules, why time and emotion may be the whole point, and how fear and doubt can act like filters that keep us from remembering. Then we get practical with his “trifecta” for conscious creation and spiritual healing: recording wins to weaken doubt, staying in a love frequency by noticing real connection, and reforming your divine identity so you stop living as “small and disconnected.” If you’re navigating a midlife spiritual journey and you want tools that feel grounded, curious, and honest, this conversation is for you.

Jen shares her first psilocybin experience with honesty and a ton of vulnerability. She used to be the person who did literally not a drug in the world, then midlife cracked her open and she felt a real pull toward psilocybin for healing and growth, not for a fun “trip.” What followed was a six-hour guided psilocybin journey with trusted sitters, a sacred container, and a lot of honesty about what actually happens when you go in with intention and your nervous system decides to do the work its own way.

Tammi Janel and Angela DeCraene join Jen as she shares and helps her with some real time integration during this episode. We talk through the practical and the spiritual: what psilocybin may be doing to brain connectivity, why prep and integration are non-negotiable, and how setting your intention changes everything. I share how I used IFS therapy and parts work to get ready, why I took safety seriously (drivers, dosing, testing, legality), and how the journey unfolded in “rooms” of experience. You’ll hear about the moment I met Athena, the fierce inner guide who kept repeating “we don’t care,” and how that one message still helps me stop rumination and come back to intuition.

The conversation doesn’t stop when the medicine wears off. We get real about the critical period after psychedelics, why I was told not to make big decisions for 63 days, and what integration actually looks like when emotional waves hit and old attachment patterns show up. If you’ve been curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy, trauma healing, spiritual awakening, or just doing the inner work in midlife without blowing up your life, this one will give you a grounded view with clear guardrails.

Tam and Ang are two psychedelic integration specialists whose distinct worlds — psychic healing, mediumship, and the translation and stewardship of souls' stories on one hand, and clinical psychology, transpersonal research, and attachment-informed healing on the other — converge to offer something genuinely rare in the landscape of expanded states work. Sharing a deep commitment to the preparation and integration of psychedelic experiences, they bring a unique dual lens approach that honors the full dimensionality of these profound journeys — ensuring that every stage of the experience, from preparation through integration, is held with complementary perspectives working in concert. At the heart of their work is a profound belief that every person deserves to live an exceptional human experience — and that with the right support, the transformation made possible through expanded states can become the foundation for exactly that. They believe that the most transformative support comes from multiple directions at once — where soul wisdom and clinical rigor, story and structure, the seen and the unseen, are all welcomed in.

Ever feel like different versions of you are steering the wheel at once? We dive into Internal Family Systems as a clear, compassionate way to understand those inner voices—your managers who keep things tidy, the firefighters who rush in to stop pain fast, and the exiles who carry old wounds you’ve been trying not to feel. With Jen, Ang, and Tam at the table, we map how Self with a capital S shows up calm, curious, and confident, and how that Self can lead your inner team without forcing anything or pushing parts away.

We unpack how spiritual awakenings in midlife often rile up protectors, why that’s a sign of change rather than failure, and how to respond with patience instead of panic. You’ll hear vivid examples: a “Cinderella” manager sweeping anger into tidy closets, a motorcycle-riding firefighter who neutralizes threats at all costs, and a childhood “humor” protector who kept rooms safe by lightening the mood. Step by step, we walk through the six F’s for meeting a part, the art of unblending when strong emotions surge, and what it looks like to befriend, retrieve, and unburden the younger versions of you who still wait in old inner rooms.

If you’re curious about psychedelic-assisted therapy, we also share why IFS has become a core tool for preparation and integration, giving you a grounded map for expanded states. If this journey resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what part are you most ready to meet?
