Joining us on the podcast today is Kelsi Sheren. Kelsi is a Canadian veteran, entrepreneur, author & speaker. Kelsi shares her inspiring story of overcoming trauma through plant based healing and other unconventional methods. Learn why plant healing medicine works in the veteran community, real stigmas surrounding mental health, and practical advice on integrating meaning in your life through intentionality, accountability and self-exploration.

Kelsi is the CEO of Brass & Unity and author of "Brass and Unity, One Woman's Journey Through the Hell of Afghanistan and Back". She served as an Artillery Gunner & CST in Afghanistan in 2009 with the Canadian, American and British military. Deployed to Afghanistan at the age of 19, Kelsi returned home and was diagnosed with PTSD and TBI, marking the beginning of an intense internal struggle. In overcoming these challenges, Kelsi is now a strong advocate for mental health, leveraging her platform to offer support and resources to those in need. Her approach to wellness, influenced by her military and plant based healing experiences, provides a fresh perspective on many of life's most important issues.

Other topics include psychedelic-assisted therapy, her advice for people seeking to start plant based healing, the realities of transitioning from military to civilian life, strategies for building and maintaining a support network for veterans, the impact of mindfulness and meditation on stress reduction, techniques for managing anxiety and depression, creative outlets in processing and healing from trauma, growing a socially responsible business, and many more.
