Most conversations about inner healing stay safely on the surface.

This one doesn't.

In this episode of Inner Source, Dr. Sandra Dreisbach sits down with Gaia Harvey-Jackson – women's empowerment facilitator, ecstatic dance DJ, private coach, and co-founder of True Nature – for a conversation that goes somewhere most podcast interviews simply won't. Because Sandra wasn't just a colleague who admired Gaia's work from a distance.

She was her client. For over a year.

That context changes everything.

Gaia shares her multidisciplinary approach to what she calls ”rewilding” – helping women peel back the layers of conditioning that have quietly pulled them away from their authentic selves. Through embodiment practices, ritual, ecstatic movement, feminine archetypes, and the kind of community that actually sees you… her work creates spaces where new stories become possible.

Sandra, in turn, opens up about her own transformation through their coaching relationship – including the energy mapping exercise that made it impossible to keep pretending she wasn't running on empty. And the deeper moment when they uncovered the belief that had been underneath the behavior all along.

That receiving had never felt safe.

That one realization touched everything.

By listening to this conversation in full, you'll learn how to begin identifying where your energy is leaking – and why naming it clearly is often the most powerful first step anyone can take.

You'll understand how to recognize the difference between giving from abundance versus giving from depletion, and what it actually takes to shift that pattern from the inside out, not just intellectually understand it.

Gaia walks through how she structures her workshops and programs – following an arc not unlike a psychedelic experience itself – and explains why she never teaches a one-size-fits-all approach. She'll help you think about how to find your own authentic expression of this work, whether you're a facilitator in the making or simply someone doing the hard, beautiful work of knowing yourself better.

In one of the most grounded sections of this conversation, Sandra and Gaia both make a compelling case for how to build peer support, mentorship, and supervision into your practice – not as a luxury, but as the foundation of ethical, sustainable work. What that actually looks like in real life. And why the willingness to say ”I don't have all the answers” is where trustworthy guidance begins, not ends.

Gaia also speaks honestly about her own relationship with psychedelics – how her journey moved from recreational to ceremonial, and why so much of her current work is about creating those same profound shifts through entirely different pathways.

If you've ever felt like you were giving more than you actually had. If receiving – whether love, money, recognition, or even basic care – has always felt somehow complicated or even threatening. If you're building a healing or facilitation practice and wondering how to stop carrying it all alone…

This conversation was made for you.
