#32 - Melissa Sprau - Psychedelics, Mental Health & Finding Peace

Melissa Sprau is a thought leader in the world of interior design, wife, mother of two, artist and mental health advocate.  

On this podcast, Melissa and I discuss:

·     Her journey of battling depression since the age of 11 years old that ultimately led her to psychedelics.

·     How being diagnosed as “gifted” as a child helped fuel her depression.

·     Though Melissa excelled academically, she was a lonely child who struggled to fit in socially. 

·     How Melissa found herself not wanting to succeed because when she did, she felt more isolated from her peers. 

·     During a family vacation, her father literally broke up with her at 11 years old, by telling Melissa he was choosing his new family over her.

·     Postpartum depression after the birth of her second child led her to the breaking point and how it made her rethink the rest of her life.

·     How Psychedelics, specifically ketamine, helped her get past her depression and back to living her best life.
