Remember Who You Are Podcast
The Remember Who You Are Podcast is a space to explore the human experience through powerful and transformative plant medicine journeys. Hosted by Ruger Hebert of MexiSoul Retreats, this podcast was inspired by his own journey of transformation, after years of depression and a life-changing encounter with ayahuasca.
In each episode, we sit down with guests from all walks of life to explore their stories—who they were before, dive deep into their plant medicine experience, and how it changed the way they see themselves and the world.
These are not just plant medicine stories—they are explorations of the human condition that allow us to remember who we are.

1x04 - Through the Ego (with Melissa)
In this episode of Remember Who You Are, Melissa opens up about the struggles she faced after the isolation of the pandemic—anxiety, social disconnection, and patterns of behavior that left her feeling almost paranoid. Guided by the call of plant medicine, she stepped into her first Ayahuasca ceremony, where she discovered profound insights: the ego as the root of pain, the importance of surrendering to the unconscious, and the realization that the only way through is inward. Melissa also reflects on the balance of masculine and feminine energy, cultivating empathy for her lineage, and the visions that reshaped her understanding of consciousness. Her story is both vulnerable and powerful—a reminder of the courage it takes to face ourselves fully.
