Psychedelic Therapy, Microdosing, and the Many Paths to Healing with Morgan Weatherup

What if healing is less about fixing yourself and more about learning how to trust yourself again? In this episode of The Favourite Self Podcast, Carly sits down with registered social worker, clinical therapist, and founder of Healing Recovery Centre, Morgan Weatherup, for a conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy, microdosing, entrepreneurship, and the deeper work of coming home to yourself.  Morgan shares how her path into this work began, how her understanding of healing has evolved, and why real transformation often happens when we stop rushing to the breakthrough and allow ourselves to move at the pace we are actually ready for. Together, Carly and Morgan explore the many paths healing can take, from traditional therapy and nervous system work to holistic approaches, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and microdosing. Healing Recovery Centre’s psychedelic therapy program is rooted in safe, supportive, trauma-informed care, with an emphasis on preparation, the medicine experience, and integration as part of the process. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Sometimes the deepest medicine is not about bypassing the pain or forcing the breakthrough, but learning how to listen to your body, trust your inner wisdom, and choose the path that feels aligned for you.

Trusting Your Voice and Letting Go of Perfection

What happens when you finally start trusting your voice, only to lose it completely? In this episode of The Favourite Self Podcast, Carly reflects on the recent stretch of speaking, podcasting, storytelling, and visibility that has asked her to use her voice in bigger ways than ever before. After losing her voice following a keynote style talk at her old high school, she shares how symbolic that experience felt and what it revealed about her evolving relationship with being seen, speaking live, and trusting herself in the moment. Carly opens up about her early roots in journalism, the perfectionism that kept her hiding behind the keyboard, and how podcasting has helped her move out of control and into presence. She also shares the full circle experience of returning to her high school twenty years later to speak to students, and why that moment felt so healing, expansive, and deeply meaningful.
