407. CEO Mama: How Ayahuasca Completely Changed My Relationship with Motherhood with Lindsay Roselle

Jungle Adventures

Lindsay Roselle's journey into the Amazon jungle was a transformative experience, setting the stage for her Ayahuasca ceremonies. She describes the surreal nighttime boat excursions, where her guide, Wolf, led them through the flooded jungle, revealing the exotic wildlife like sloths and tree boas 1. This immersive experience was designed to ground her in the present moment, preparing her for the intense ceremonies ahead.

It was such a cool experience and really brought it home that, like, you're very far away, you are in the Amazon.

--- Lindsay Roselle

The preparation for the Ayahuasca ceremony was equally unique, as Lindsay and her group made their own Ayahuasca, a process that heightened the potency of the experience 2.

   

Arrival and Exploration

Upon arriving in Peru, Lindsay Roselle was immediately immersed in a world vastly different from her own. The journey began with a motorcycle tuk-tuk ride through the rain-soaked streets of Iquitos, a grounding experience that set the tone for her adventure 3. This initial immersion was both exhilarating and daunting, as Lindsay grappled with the fear of the unknown and the challenge of leaving her children behind for twelve days 4.

I am scared. You know, I'm really, like, I'm scared of what it'll be like. I've never done any kind of psychedelic.

--- Lindsay Roselle

Despite her apprehensions, the support from her partner and the promise of a life-altering experience compelled her to embrace the journey fully.
