In today's episode, Tyler sits down with Christy Gilvear, creator of The Rooted Pedal, to discuss identity and healing through nature. Christy shares how her journey as an adoptee led her to create Green Alchemy, which she describes as the practice of transforming pain, grief, and trauma into fertile soil for personal growth. Together, they dive into: the healing power of plants, unpacking the unspoken grief and feelings of isolation that exist even within loving adoptive families, and lessons she's learned from her work as a death doula. Christy also recalls her 21-year journey to secure DNA proof and official tribal enrollment with the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and describes how reclaiming her Indigenous roots reshaped her identity.

Today, Tyler reunites with psychotherapist Dr. Mike Dow (@drmikedow) and documentary filmmaker Kerthy Fix (@kerthyfix) for an in-depth exploration of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Drawing from their shared history - including filming Tyler’s televised therapy session on Teen Mom - the group unpacks how Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) reprocesses trauma, addresses treatment-resistant PTSD, and reaches root-level healing where traditional talk therapy often plateaus. Today's episode offers an insider look at Kerthy Fix's documentary project, More Than Medicine, highlighting real-world patient outcomes, first-responder burnout, and the systemic barriers preventing broader access to mental health care. https://www.storiescreatingchange.com/morethanmedicine Thank you to our sponsors!

In Part 2 of conversation, Renee and Tyler pivot toward solutions, systemic accountability, and what Saving Our Sisters (SOS) really does. Renee details how temporary crises like housing affordability and broken support networks push women toward adoption—and how providing just a few weeks of rent, basic supplies, or simple encouragement can preserve families. They also discuss human rights issues in adoption; such as sealed birth certificates, lack of informed consent, and the absence of legal copies of signed paperwork. Thank you to our sponsors!
