Hi, it's Mimi. Welcome to our new weekly Mimi moments, a new series focusing on short impactful

excerpts from some of the most powerful conversations that I've had on the show.

I hope it elevates your day, and if you want to hear the whole episode there's a link in the

show notes. Thanks for listening. Enjoy.

I'm very open when I talk about plan medicine and hallucinics for the purpose of growth, I know it's like a touchy subject and you can sound a little esoteric, but it was after I found meditation, I got really curious. I was just thinking,
