Success to avoid suffering? Been there, done that. I bet you have too. All of us have gone out of our way to avoid suffering. It's what our relentless species does. But for Nicole, suffering to avoid suffering was a way of life. As Nicole put it, "The biggest, scariest thing for me was not having enough. Like not feeling financially secure and not suffering through illness or the process of death. Those were the scariest things to me. Just suffering in general." So, Nicole ran around stressing herself out to acquire more things to avoid suffering, which in turn caused her more suffering. Teetering between feeling "meh" or depressed, the anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications couldn't dispel her dis-ease. Then in 2014, Nicole's entire world shifted. Have a listen to us talk about her journey away from attachment and desire toward a more spiritually conscious, connected sense of being with help from Ayahuasca. Listen. You'll hear it in Her voice.   Selected links from the podcast: The Wild Wisdom of Weeds by Katrina BlairNicole sang the beginning of this icaro by Jim Sanders.
