Ep. 1084 – Billionaires, Psychedelics, and a Future Worth Fighting For with Diana Colleen


“You have to be able to look for the gems that are in the darkness, that something to hold on to that will give you some kind of hope. It doesn't have to be anything big, but just even one thing that you can hold on to that gives you hope.” – Diana Colleen
Today’s featured award-winning author is a trained psychedelic facilitator, and a survivor, Diana Colleen. Diana and I had a chat about her book, “They Could Be Saviors: A Near Future Climate Thriller about Billionaires, Psychedelics, and Power”, the importance of embracing emotions rather than suppressing them, and more!
Key Things You’ll Learn:
What led her to become a trained psychedelic facilitator after originally wanting to be a lawyer
What inspired Diana to become an author and make her first book a speculative fiction novel
What was challenging about writing her first book, and what helped her finally finish it
Her words of encouragement for folks going through trauma
