In this episode, we sit down with Lauren Kelley, a psychiatrist who shares her personal journey through depression, grief, and the emotional weight of loss. Lauren opens up about what led her to plant medicine—not as a professional curiosity, but as a human being seeking relief, perspective, and peace after the death of someone close. Her reflections are honest, grounded, and deeply vulnerable—touching on the limits of what she had been taught, and what she came to understand through direct experience.

In this first episode of the Remember Who You Are Podcast, we sit down with Katie Hebert—Ruger’s sister—for an open and heartfelt conversation about growing up within a religious tradition, and how her journey with plant medicine revealed a deeper, more personal connection to the divine.

Katie shares what led her to Ayahuasca, the emotions that surfaced in her first ceremony, and the profound realizations around shame, guilt, love, and her sense of spirituality.
