Love, Loss & Hallucinations with Scott Schumaker
Podcast Description
Welcome to Love, Loss and Hallucinations with Scott Schumaker — a podcast where we start with those three themes and see where the conversation takes us. This podcast is about the beauty and pain of being human, a podcast about finding strength and connection in vulnerability, a podcast to amplify the voices of those who have been through the ringer of life and have wisdom to share, and a podcast about the healing, evolution, and transformation that can happen when you’re willing to lean into the uncomfortable and the unknown.
I’ll be talking with therapists, coaches, world-class athletes, writers, musicians, artists, shamans, plant medicine guides, and everyday who’ve been touched by incredible moments of love, shattered by loss, or altered by the extraordinary.
If you’ve ever felt like your heart was going to explode from either love or loss; if you’re wanting deeper connection in this increasingly lonely world; if you’re curious about plant medicine, or you’ve experienced an out-of-the-ordinary vision...then you’ll feel at home here.

So many of us live with the silent, often hollow-feeling struggle of trying to attain wealth and success while wearing societal masks. Yet, deeper within us there is a yearning for connection, purpose, and peace. What if the key to transforming your life is a simple shift in consciousness? Cesar Marin, a former CNN producer turned plant medicine and microdosing advocate, shares his inspiring journey, one where he has found purpose in plant medicine, microdosing, and surrendering to the deep work of healing and self-awareness.
He reveals how microdosing psilocybin transformed his relationship with addiction, helped him face childhood wounds, deepened connections with his family and friends, and propelled him into becoming a proponent for plant medicine. Discover how intentional plant medicine journeys in his 50s reopened his heart, realigned his mission, and sparked a powerful awakening, showing us all that it’s never too late to reinvent ourselves.
