In this episode, Jemie Sae Koo and Beth Weinstein speak about…
- Jemie’s traumatic childhood and how she found healing through psychedelics as an adult
- Psychable’s intention is to match individuals on the healing path with psychedelic-assisted therapy practitioners and other trustworthy psychedelic support people
- Integrity, trust, safety, and accessibility are at the core of Psychable’s mission
- The Psychable platform is the first of its kind, and everything on the site its 100% legal
- Psychable is community-led and community-driven – similar to “Yelp”
- The platform also offers a safe and encrypted space where community members can share freely
- Any practitioner can list themselves on the site as long as their services are legal
- Jemie recommends that every psychedelic entrepreneur check out the North Star Ethics Pledge
- You can raise money if you have a solid plan and a great team – but can you raise it from people that share your vision for accessibility and affordability?
- As entrepreneurs in psychedelics, our job is to be tech-enabled healers
- We can operate from a spirit of abundance – there’s plenty of room for new companies in the psychedelic space
- Sustainability, reciprocity, advocacy with respect to indigenous communities has been built into Psychable’s DNA from day one
- There haven’t been any major innovations in mental healthcare in 5 decades – it’s time for a paradigm shift
- The future lies in how we live out our values through our action
- Psychedelics open us up to a very delicate psychic space and we need trained psychedelic practitioners that can provide true safety
- Jemie strongly recommends The Fireside Project, a free hotline that provides real-time psychedelic support
- You need clear values and you need to work with people who embody clear values – this is critical for a company’s success
- Psychable is working toward becoming a platform where people can directly book appointments for psychedelic support
- Now is the time for the mind and heart to come together and birth a shift into a higher collective consciousness
