Picture growing up surrounded by the glamour and expectations of one of America's most famous families. That's Nena Woolworth's story. Raised in the opulent world of NYC's Upper East Side, Nena's life took many unexpected turns. In this episode of 'The Drunkalogues', host Nick Morton reconnects with Nena, years after their paths first crossed in LA's cocktail scene.
Both now sober, they dive into her journey from interior design to becoming a shaman, a transformation sparked by surviving a terrifying series of flesh-eating bacterial infections. Nena opens up about the complexities of her family legacy and how she found peace with her past. She shares candidly about her battles with addiction and the unconventional path that led her to shamanic healing.
This episode isn't just about overcoming personal demons; it's about the power of community and the profound changes that come with investing in oneself. From discussing the nitty-gritty of psychedelic therapy to the intricate process of screening participants for shamanic ceremonies, Nena's insights are as fascinating as they are inspiring. She and Nick explore the costs and benefits of shamanic healing, shedding light on how these ancient practices can offer new hope for those struggling with addiction.
