“We make psychedelic integration fun and accessible, blending wisdom with action to support your unique journey of growth and self-discovery.”
This month, we’re focusing on the power of doing hard shit—the tasks, challenges, and commitments we avoid but need the most. Overcoming resistance isn’t about waiting for motivation; it’s about building the courage to show up, especially when it feels impossible.
When you commit to doing the hard thing, you transform. Not because the task is magical, but because showing up is.
Integration Tip for January: Commit to One Hard Thing
This week, choose one thing you’ve been procrastinating on—just one.
Start Small: Set a timer for 10 minutes and begin.
Celebrate the Start: Completing the task isn’t the goal today—starting is.
Repeat: Show up tomorrow for another 10 minutes. Build momentum one step at a time.
Each time you face resistance and act anyway, you become stronger. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress.

Your Integration Journey
Resistance will always be there, whispering excuses and doubts. But this month, I challenge you to see resistance as a teacher, not an enemy. Choose one hard thing and start. Remember, transformation doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from showing up.
With gratitude and courage,
