From Grief to Growth: Cody Lakevold on Trauma, Transformation, and Brotherhood- Season 5 Episode 3
About this episode
Cody Lakevold shares his journey through grief and transformation, highlighting the healing power of therapy and community.
In this episode, Cody Lakevold takes us on an intense and deeply personal journey through grief, loss, and transformation. After losing his family, Cody faced PTSD and despair, but he found profound healing through MDMA and LSD therapy, Indigenous ceremonies, and deep reflection. He shares the life-changing clarity, closure, and spiritual insights these experiences brought him—and how they reshaped his understanding of love, loss, and letting go. Cody also dives into the creation of Longship, a men’s community built around brotherhood, vulnerability, and growth. From rucks and fire walks to physical and emotional challenges, Longship empowers men to confront their burdens, build resilience, and rediscover connection in a world that often leaves us isolated. Along the way, Cody reflects on the wisdom of Indigenous traditions, the power of ceremony, and the importance of community in helping men thrive—mind, body, and spirit.
