Tah is the "Done Dude" (a nurse with nearly 25 years of experience), and Kole (former substance abuse educator turned psychedelic advocate) founded The Condor Approach to provide a psychedelic-informed coaching certification for therapists, life coaches, psychedelic enthusiasts who know. Integration. Is. Not.Optional.They talk about flocking to the healing possibilities of power plants, fungi, and spiritual medicine, in finding safe spaces and integrating their experiences beyond the ceremony or journey.

Psychedelics: Are We Missing Something Huge?

On today's episode, the Bitches bring on one of the greatest in the field of behavior analysis, specifically when it comes to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Thomas Szabo has spent the past 10 years focusing his practice on teaching people ways to ignite behavioral flexibility in their personal lives and with others in clinical practice, schools, board rooms, shop floors, and community centers. He breaks down ACT and Relational Frame theory so that anyone listening can understand and even talks about some ways to practice psychological flexibility in your own lives. If you know Casey, you know this is her dream guest and if you know Liat you know she keeps it real AF that she knows nothing about AC, but by the end of the episode even she had lightbulb moments. This episode is one you do not want to miss whether you are studying for your board exam, currently practicing in the field, or just interested in this badass therapy. Tune in or miss the F out!

On today’s episode the Bitches bring on a very special guest, Gil Winch, all the way from Israel! Gil founded Call Yachol (CY), a unique free market social enterprise whose entire workforce of hundreds of employees and managers is comprised entirely of ‘underdogs’. Half of CY’s employees are people with severe disabilities and the rest come from marginalized or disadvantaged populations, and for most, CY is their first place of work. Yet despite that, CY’s workforce all attain regular productivity and make industry standard wages, proving that there is a huge untapped reservoir of talent – underdogs – that many employers are overlooking. Gil has an incredibly moving and inspiring life story which he talks about candidly and with much humor. We also touch on their inspiring interview process in which they flip the script and allow the employees to interview them and strive to bring out the best in each individual during the typically daunting interview process.
