9. Seb Lavoie

I'm joined in this one by certified savage Seb Lavoie — he retired from working as an ERT Team Leader (think Canada's equivalent to SWAT) with the rank of Sgt. Major and he now works in private security (even holding a Master's degree in International Security & Global Counter-Terrorism) and helps us out as the head instructor for our Operation Flowstate BJJ Healing Retreats. Seb is also a lower leg amputee, a serious Orthodox Christian, and soon to be a published author. 

Given Seb's background, he spent many years fighting his demons... until he discovered the world of healing with psilocybin. What followed was a deeper faith, generational healing in his family, and a whole new level of peace in his life. 

A couple quotes that have stuck with me since this one:

“The forgiveness you refuse to give is keeping you in prison.”
 “The grace that you get is the grace you surrender to.”

Oh and Seb turned me onto this Christian prayer channel on youtube that I have actually been listening to every single morning since this podcast... didn't expect that to be one of my takeaways but here we are.
