Shadow Work to Stop Numbing, Heal, and Finally Get out of PAIN | Noah Wells #21

Cultivating Change with Alex Corey

Alex Corey and Noah Wells discuss Noah's journey through self-medication with cannabis, pharmaceuticals, alcohol, and psychoactive substances and finding hope and health in digging through layers of his own shadow. Growing up on the outskirts of social norms, being raised in a traditional Christian family, and his relationship with cannabis, pharmaceuticals, alcohol, and psychoactive substances covering a lot of emotional, psychological, and physical pain. Connect with Noah & Nina https://linktr.ee/ninaizel Noah operated at a high level in the Cannabis/THC/CBD industry on a large scale for 15+ years and it was this work that forced him to choose between his business and his life. His journey to self-discovery weaved through relationships, stability through a consistent yoga practice, and various plant medicines such as kambo and ayahuasca to pull him out of incredible darkness.
