Finding Harmony Podcast

What if the most important part of a psychedelic experience isn't the journey at all — but what you do when you come home? In this episode, Harmony Slater and co-host Russell Case sit down with Zappy Zapolin, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and founder of Psychedelic Concierge, an educational platform for training facilitators in preparation, holding space, and integration. Zappy directed the documentary The Reality of Truth, which features voices from across the consciousness and wellness world. Together they explore the “psychedelic renaissance” unfolding alongside AI: the difference between substances like ayahuasca, ibogaine, San Pedro, and medically supervised ketamine; why set, setting, and belief shape everything; and why integration may matter more than the experience itself. Harmony and Russell also share, honestly, their own recent first ayahuasca ceremony and what surfaced. This is a frank, adult conversation about consciousness, trauma, addiction recovery, and the ethics of guiding others through altered states. It's offered for reflection and education — not as medical advice, and not as encouragement to use substances that remain illegal in many places. In this episode Why Zappy calls this “the greatest moment in human history” Set, setting, and the role of your worldview in shaping an experience Why integration — not the journey — is where the real work happens The distinct “personalities” of different plant medicines Medically supervised ketamine vs. recreational misuse — and why the distinction matters Holding space ethically: the case for trained facilitators over the “garage shaman” How yoga and meditation relate to (and differ from) plant-medicine work Harmony and Russell's reflections on their own ceremony and the value of preparation Connect & support Guest: Zappy Zapolin — Psychedelic Concierge Support resources: U.S. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline · SAMHSA National Helpline 1-800-662-4357 The Inner Rejuvenation Codes: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/inner-rejuvenation-codes-mc Join the Lightworker Mastermind: https://harmonyslater.com/lightworker-mastermindFIND Harmony online: https://harmonyslater.com/Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation

Have you ever had a gut feeling so strong you couldn't explain it? Or created something — a painting, a meal, a song — and felt like it moved through you rather than from you? In this episode, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Stephanie Banks, a former speech pathologist turned soul channeler and teacher, to explore one of the most misunderstood and fascinating practices: channeling. Stephanie's journey began when her mother was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Unable to reach her mother through conventional communication, she discovered channeling through a gifted friend — and chose to communicate with her mother at the soul level. What happened next transformed their relationship and launched an entirely new career. In this episode: What channeling actually is — and what it isn't (not mind reading, not a Ouija board) How Stephanie's mother's dementia became the doorway into soul communication Why art, music, cooking, and creative flow are all forms of channeling The role of self-love in becoming a clear channel How to use your body as a compass for energetic discernment Setting boundaries in the spirit world — you have the right and responsibility Why spiritual bypassing doesn't serve us — and what genuine spiritual engagement looks like The heart's intelligence and what HeartMath Institute research reveals Connect with Stephanie Banks: Website: soulinsight.com Instagram: @stephanieintuitivechannel Connect with Harmony: Instagram: @harmonyslaterofficial | @findingharmonypodcast YouTube: youtube.com/@HarmonySlater CTA: Radiant Energy Method with Harmony & Angelica — DM @harmonyslaterofficial Also mentioned: HeartMath Institute and the Inner Balance Trainer Radiant Energy Method — DM @harmonyslaterofficial or see link in show notes The Inner Rejuvenation Codes: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/inner-rejuvenation-codes-mc Join the Lightworker Mastermind: https://harmonyslater.com/lightworker-mastermindFIND Harmony online: https://harmonyslater.com/Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation

What if spirituality didn't have to live only on your yoga mat, in a retreat center, or somewhere outside of everyday life — what if it could exist inside boardrooms, leadership meetings, and the decisions we make every single day? That's exactly what today's conversation explores. Harmony and Russell sit down with Corissa Saint-Laurent, a mystical leadership coach, retreat facilitator, and former corporate consultant who has worked with major tech brands including Google. Corissa shares her remarkable journey: a Korean adoptee raised in New Hampshire who survived a traumatic brain injury at 16 that catalyzed a spiritual awakening, went on to found a wellness company in Los Angeles in 2000 before 'wellness' was even a word, pivoted into branding and marketing, and has now emerged fully as what she calls 'the mystic out of the closet' — bridging the language of business with the intelligence of the soul. ⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY (for s This episode includes a discussion of suicide, including references to the deaths of Tony Hsieh and Anthony Bourdain.
