Healing Your Mind, Being Obsessed & Breaking Taboos with Mindbloom’s Michael Petegorsky

Michael Petegorsky, Chief Strategy Officer at Mindbloom, a guided, at-home ketamine therapy program, reveals the transformative power of psychedelic medicine and why being mission-obsessed—not just mission-aligned—matters when the stakes are this high.

In this raw and revealing episode, Farryn and Michael dive deep into how psychedelic medicine can disrupt cycles of anxiety, trauma, and depression and how Mindbloom is building a radically human, science-backed model to bring that healing to the mainstream. Michael shares how his path to healing upended everything he believed about what it means to live with anxiety, and how that breakthrough led him to help others find the same freedom.

This episode is part of our special Mental Health Awareness Month capsule, spotlighting conversations that challenge the status quo, invite reflection, and celebrate the courage it takes to truly heal.
