## Resource

Havok and LX are joined by award-winning author Diana Colleen (They Could Be Saviors) for a hilarious, heartfelt conversation about trauma, ego death, and her bold idea of using psychedelic therapy on billionaires to fix greed and climate change. Diana opens up about how a life full of trauma led her from suicidal rock bottom to ayahuasca ceremonies in the Costa Rican jungle, becoming a trained psychedelic facilitator, and writing her book after the idea wouldn't stop knocking during meditation. The hosts share their own wild stories, while Diana breaks down set and setting, who should never touch psychedelics, heroic vs therapeutic doses, and why "billionaire-ism" might be the world's most expensive mental illness. From "Just Say No" flashbacks to heart-opening MDMA experiences and profound nature connections this episode is equal parts laughter and deeply insightful.
