Coach Diamond Drip, discusses her journey to becoming a coach and entrepreneur. She started her career in leadership development, managing a gym before losing her job in 2019. Facing financial uncertainty, she transitioned to entrepreneurship, initially starting a product-based business. Over time, she launched a second business in graphic design, where she found herself offering life and business coaching for free, realizing that her passion lay in helping others.
Diamond Drip highlights the idea of "fear pivoting," where people move towards safer, more attainable goals rather than pursuing their true passions due to limiting beliefs. Her coaching focuses on helping clients pivot towards what genuinely excites them, rather than being driven by fear. She emphasizes self-worth, explaining how transitioning from a product-based to a service-based business made her confront doubts about her value, which she overcame through personal growth.
The speaker was diagnosed with bipolar 2 at 14, and their experience with debilitating depression led them on a journey to find a remedy. They tried various medications and self-medicated with cannabis to treat insomnia, but these approaches only addressed symptoms, not the root cause. In 2022, they found a clinical trial using psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) to treat depression. The trial involved one “hero dose” of over five grams, which the speaker described as life-changing, accomplishing what traditional medications could not.
They explained that psilocybin works similarly to SSRIs, but more effectively, as seen in its chemical structure. Through the trial, they gained insights about self-compassion and self-forgiveness, and learned about the importance of intention and integration during such experiences. This psilocybin experience helped heal their depression and changed their outlook on life.
They coined the term "fear pivot," which refers to when someone avoids pursuing their true passion out of fear or limiting beliefs. Instead of fear pivoting, they now help clients move toward what truly excites them. They emphasize that starting with what you love is more rewarding than making fear-based decisions.
In the second half of the transcript, they discuss their journey with psilocybin further, crediting their best friend for introducing them to magic mushrooms. Initially, they experimented with natural remedies and recreational psilocybin but lacked the proper structure. The clinical trial, which was a 15-week process, provided them with a more structured, intentional experience, leading to the healing of their depression. The trial also revealed insights about the passive suicidal thoughts they hadn’t fully realized they were experiencing.
Finally, the speaker affirms that their depression has healed and encourages others to seek alternative paths for healing, especially those struggling with mental health challenges such as bipolar disorder, PTSD, or anxiety. They invite listeners to connect with them for coaching services.
