Summary

In this episode, Joe interviews Nico and Susan Simon: Co-founders of JourneyŌM, a concierge service looking to address the question many people are asking: How do you find the right facilitator?

Through a dedicated vetting process, JourneyŌM is adding a layer of risk reduction and accountability to this strange new world, by traveling the country and amassing a network of trusted facilitators who work with all types of medicines and modalities. By getting to know guides and seekers personally, they're able to offer possible matches – and they usually agree on who would work best with each other.

They talk about:

Their process for building their network and finding the right facilitator for someone
Their concept of going "beyond the bio" and getting to the heart of what drove someone toward becoming a guide
Susan's struggle with supporting Nico through his psychedelic healing, and the need for support options for spouses not sharing in the experience
The importance of community and the amazing work Nico has seen in men's groups
The healing powers of movement and living as your authentic self

and more!

If you're interested in JourneyŌM's matchmaking, head to their site and take their assessment to begin the process.
