From Corporate Success to Psychedelics
Drew shares how chasing external success came at the expense of his sanity and health, eventually leading him to a 12-step fellowship, sobriety, and the spiritual path. But even with years of therapy and internal work, old somatic resonance remained locked in his body.
In this episode, we sit down with Drew, a former tech sales executive who joined us at Enfold in May 2025. Drew’s story is a profound exploration of the “Middle Passage”. That messy, sacred liminal space where the mask of success no longer fits, but the new version of yourself hasn’t fully formed yet.
Drew shares how chasing external success came at the expense of his sanity and health, eventually leading him to a 12-step fellowship, sobriety, and the spiritual path. But even with years of therapy and internal work, old somatic resonance remained locked in his body.
He shares his transformative week at Enfold with 5-MeO-DMT, from a physical “exorcism” of limiting beliefs, to a deep healing of his inner child.
Most importantly, Drew doesn’t sugarcoat the integration process. He shares the trap of the “lovingly naive” honeymoon phase, followed by a grueling 4-month depressive episode in Asia where he had to truly sit with his darkness before cracking open to real freedom.
If you are navigating the messy reality of letting go of who you were, this episode is a must-listen.
