In this episode of Rooted & Wild, host David Allen Tracy sits down with Garet Free — Executive Transformation Coach, bestselling author, and psilocybin guide — to explore the growing field of psychedelic-assisted therapy and its role in emotional healing, trauma integration, and leadership transformation.

A former paramedic and healthcare technology executive, Garet bridges science and soul through his company, The Resilience Edit, where he supports high-performing leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives in releasing burnout, dissolving imposter syndrome, and reconnecting to purpose. Through neuroscience, somatic awareness, and guided psilocybin experiences, his work helps people access deeper resilience, self-compassion, and conscious leadership.

Together, David and Garet unpack:

• The science of psilocybin and how it interacts with brain networks to promote neuroplasticity and emotional regulation
• The therapeutic potential of psychedelics for anxiety, depression, and trauma
• How somatic integration helps anchor expanded states into daily life
• The importance of safe set, setting, and facilitation in psychedelic journeys
• What it means to bridge ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and conscious leadership

Garet’s bestselling book, The Imposter Within, explores how true leadership begins with inner alignment, while his Rising to Clarity coaching experience teaches people how to integrate insight into sustainable change — merging psychedelic insight with embodied practice.

If you’ve ever wondered how psilocybin-assisted therapy can help you move through self-doubt, reclaim your voice, or transform burnout into clarity, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate roadmap.
