All right, guys. Welcome to Wake Up with Wesley. I'm your host Wesley and you're in

for a treat because I am sitting here with Collette Patricia, my beautiful love child

of a friend, Hi Collette. I'm my friend. That's a beautiful introduction.

You guys know her. So this is the thing. She was on season one of Wake Up with Wesley

and Collette, I did my research. I did my homework. You were on episode 45. We talked about

the importance of language and shadow work. Yes. I remember that day. You do remember that

day. It was a funny day because neither you or I thought we were podcasting that day.

I had no idea. And then you were like, should we do this right now? And I was like, yes,

we should do this right now. We were having the best conversation. I was like, how do

you all feel about moving this into the podcast room and just being recorded for thousands

of listeners to hear? And she collected, not skip a beat. You were like, yeah, let's go.

Man, I'm in. So you're someone that I've known for about two years now. And I'm going

to tell everyone how we met. Are you okay with that? Okay. So I met Collette at a

psilocybin retreat. One that I kind of dangled in front of all you listeners for a long time.

I wasn't allowed to talk about it. And you're all going to hate me because it's dismantled

now. There's no more. It's 2020 hit. The retreat center that I met Collette at is no longer.

Yeah. But Collette, my darling, was a practitioner there. She was holding space. She was like this

penetrating person. I walked into this retreat center. And I've told you this privately,

but I'm going to tell everybody publicly. Let's tell the people. I walked into your energy field

and felt ashamed of myself because I was like, I can't hide from this woman. She's going to

know everything about me. I wanted to avoid you. Oh, well, I feel like grateful for what you're

implying here. And also my heart breaks that that is what initially came up for you in our meeting.
