The” Shift Within" podcast, brought to you by the Inner Shift Institute, takes you on a journey into the inner realms of the subconscious mind, where the power of psychedelics and transformative therapeutic tools converge to transform inner shame into self-compassion. 

Drawing from ancient wisdom, modern science, and personal insights, each episode of "Shift Within" invites listeners to embark on a voyage of self-discovery, challenging conventional narratives and inviting deeper exploration into the mysteries of the psyche.

Through thought-provoking conversations, we delve into the transformative potential of psychedelics, shadow work, inner child healing, and more, illuminating pathways to greater self-awareness, improved mental health and wholeness.

At the heart of "Shift Within" is the belief that true transformation begins from within, and by embarking on this inner journey, we can unlock new levels of consciousness and create positive shifts in our lives and in the world around us.
