All Too Well

The one where Zoe still thinks it's 2020.  It may as well be, no?  It’s the end of the year, and while plenty of people are thinking about goals for next year, we’re more about reflection than resolution. So listen in on this admittedly free-wheeling conversation as we perform free association dissociation, deny the laws of time, and perform a modality inventory to look back on all the w...

You know we’re all about the shrooms here on HTW, and not just the ones that take you on a trip. But when it comes to other psychedelics and their potential health benefits, it can be hard to get over some misconceptions we have. Most of us grew up hearing “drugs are bad, mkay,” and while many can be—and nearly all without taking the proper precautions—it’s taken a toll on public perception around...

It’s a new season, and that’s the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. We’ve got new guests lined up, and plenty of topics in store for us to shoot the shit about!

We’ve all heard of Kegels, right? But other than that, not many people are aware of their pelvic floor – or why it’s so damn important. It’s way more than Kegels, that’s for sure.

Are we still talking about stress and anxiety? Yes... yes we are. Because it never f***ing goes away. And panic attacks, in particular, have become a very broad, catch-all topic for a variety of still-potentially-severe-but-not-actually-panic-attack problems. That’s why we’re bringing on our good friend, Dr. Ellen Vora, to lay out the real deal about panic attacks: what they actually are, and how...

She talks about how we can continue to have difficult conversations, having an open mind for yoga, h...
