I have the pleasure of speaking with Elise Loehnen, one of my favourite authors whose storytelling resonates deeply with me. We share a journey of realizing the toll of overwork, anxiety, and the pursuit of wellness as a cure-all, only to discover the transformative power of psychedelics.

Elise's expertise in content creation was evident during her tenure as the chief content officer at goop, where she co-hosted The goop Podcast and The goop Lab on Netflix. Her role involved spearheading content strategy, including the successful launch of a magazine with Condé Nast and a book imprint. With a Bachelor's degree from Yale, majoring in English and Fine Arts, and a rich media career, Elise brings a wealth of experience to her work.

Now based in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their sons, Max and Sam, Elise continues to inspire through her writing and editing. As the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast with Cadence13, she engages cultural luminaries on pressing questions for our society in featuring notable figures like Dr. Gabor Maté and Dr. Temple Grandin. Despite co-authoring twelve books, including five New York Times Best Sellers, Elise's latest venture, her first book under her own name, "On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good," has captured attention as an instant New York Times bestseller.

Our conversation naturally gravitates towards psychedelics, exploring the pivotal role MDMA played in Elise's journey, her transformative experiences with 5 MEO Dot, and the evolving landscape of psychedelic exploration in adulthood.”
