Episode 7 | The Child

In this powerful episode, Brooke Lark takes us deep into her first ayahuasca ceremony, where a journey to meet "the Mother" becomes an unexpected lesson in mothering herself. As she leaves her children – still hidden behind closed doors in the aftermath of her marriage – Brooke enters a stranger's home to drink an ancient medicine, hoping to find healing in the arms of Pachamama.

Through vivid storytelling, Brooke shares how resistance transforms into revelation as the medicine shows her scenes from her own life: the trail where she left her marriage, the flea-infested floor of her teenage years, and her daughter's bedroom where music drowns out fighting. Under the guidance of a former go-go dancer turned shaman, she learns that sometimes the bravest act of mothering is asking for help, and that healing begins when we finally allow ourselves to purge the stories we were never meant to carry.
