The Medicine Spoke
he Medicine Spoke is a soul-baring podcast exploring healing at its root—from the womb to the wild unknown. Hosted by a mother of five and nurse turned spiritual seeker, this show dives into the raw, often unspoken layers of trauma, emotional inheritance, psychedelics, and rebirth.
Each episode is a blend of storytelling, reflection, and remembrance—sometimes solo, sometimes with guides, therapists, or fellow travelers on the path. From a life-altering Ibogaine journey in Mexico to breathwork, rage release, motherhood, and the echoes of what we felt before we had language—this is a space for the ones who never felt quite at home in the surface world.
Whether you’ve sat with plant medicine, cried in a therapist’s office, or screamed into a pillow at 2 a.m., you’ll feel seen here.

This first episode is a raw introduction to who I am and why I started The Medicine Spoke.
I’m Ashton Daugherty — a mama of five and former nurse of nearly 15 years who walked away from the medical world to explore what true healing really means. After years of burnout, I followed an inner calling that led me to Mexico for an Ibogaine journey that cracked me open and helped me begin again — as a woman, a mother, and a soul finally listening.
In this opening episode, I share my story — the breaking, the remembering, and the moment the medicine spoke. It’s an invitation to slow down, tune in, and hear what your own medicine might be saying to you.
