Episode 44: Experiments in Care with Adam Riehl

In this first episode of our newly expanded Experiment, we’re joined by yoga teacher, sound and reiki healer, and fellow podcaster Adam Riehl, for an honest, intimate conversation about what we’re each experimenting with right now.

Adam shares how he’s been paying closer attention to his cortisol habits and exploring microdosing psilocybin at night to support deeper sleep and recovery. Marybeth talks about experimenting with a new guided journaling practice that looks backward with compassion and forward with intention. And Carrie explores an unexpected experiment of her own: allowing herself to enjoy and reflect on music created with the help of AI, and what that brings up around creativity, authenticity, and meaning.

Together, we slow down and sit with the questions underneath the experiments—how we care for our nervous systems, how we make sense of our past, and how we stay open to new forms of expression. This episode marks a shift toward deeper, more relational conversations, and we’re grateful to Adam for helping us begin this next chapter.
