#23 Amánda Argot Efthimiou: Will psychedelics change the way we work?

In today’s episode, we sit down with Amánda Argot Efthimiou to talk
about all things psychedelics in the workplace. Amánda is a mental
health advocate and psychedelic wellness & integration
educator. She has more than a decade of experience supporting
leaders and creators that intersect health, art, science, and
impact industries. On top of this, she received her MSc from King’s
College, London’s Psychology & Neuroscience of Mental Health
program where she focused on the mental health outcomes of
psilocybin used together with psychotherapy. She has also completed
the MIND Foundation’s Beyond Experience training in Psychedelic
Integration. Considering the broad spectrum of Amánda’s background,
her brilliant ability to approach the rise of psychedelics in the
workplace with ease, compassion, and consideration came as no
surprise during our conversation. To better understand the
potentials and dangers of the trend, we talk about Amánda’s path
and what made her dive into the world of psychedelics, the
(neuro-)science behind the substances, the fact that the real
integration work usually starts after the peak, and find out that
the real medicine is in fact always you. Amánda’s sincerity in
bridging the gap between the ancient wisdom and science behind
psychedelic substances definitely made this conversation a special
one. We wholeheartedly enjoyed it and hope you will, too.
