Psychedelics offer a fresh snowfall over old patterns, but only you can decide how to sled down the mountain. Education and community are essential guides for that journey. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon speaks with Linden Schaffer, an award-winning wellness entrepreneur, bestselling author, and expert with over 20 years of experience in the wellness and psychedelic spaces. Linden is the founder of Reveal, a global online community for women, and co-founder of the Los Angeles Women's Psychedelic Community, both dedicated to creating safe and informed spaces for exploration and healing. As a member of the Global Psychedelic Society team, she advocates for responsible and inclusive practices in the psychedelic movement. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Condé Nast Traveler, and ABC News, and she has spoken on stages including The New York Times Travel Show and Google Talks. In this conversation, Linden dismantles common misconceptions about psychedelics, explains her Five S's framework for safety (screening, set, setting, support, and sustainability), and discusses why these medicines require more than a one-time experience. We explore how psychedelics can address women's unique mental health challenges—from hormonal transitions to societal pressures, and why preparation, integration, and community support are non-negotiable for transformative healing. Whether you're curious, experienced, or supporting someone on this path, this episode offers practical wisdom for navigating psychedelic spaces with intention, agency, and informed consent.
