My Ayahuasca Journey in Costa Rica w/Lance Essihos EP 293

Welcome back University of Adversity listeners! Returning to normal scheduling, I’m sharing my experiences so far in Costa Rica and my Ayahuasca ceremony. Taking place at the Soltara Healing Center in Costa Rica, there is a strong focus on the integrative work that starts during a retreat and continues, possibly, for the rest of the individual’s life. Knowing your intention behind psychedelic usage is integral to having a healing and powerful journey. Hear about visions and the raw human experience in an altered state of being. Stay until the end to also hear about my upcoming book launch, Mastering Adversity. and crowdfunding campaign launching soon in 2021.

About the Podcast

University of Adversity

Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.

University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

About your host

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
