Cindy Shaw: When Burnout Becomes Awakening | Psilocybin, Healing & Finding Your True Self

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Cindy Shaw, Founder of The Awakened Journey, a women-only psychedelic retreat and integration program based in British Columbia.

Cindy works with high-achieving women who have built the career, raised the family, created the identity and seemingly done everything right—yet still feel like something is missing. Her work explores what happens when burnout stops being a badge of honor and becomes a doorway to transformation.

The Awakened Journey combines guided psilocybin experiences with preparation, integration, mindset work, brain health coaching and somatic practices. Cindy describes the program as a deeper journey toward reconnecting with the authentic self rather than simply another weekend retreat. 

In this fascinating conversation, we get into Cindy's own journey, the challenges faced by successful women who have spent years taking care of everyone else, the difference between intellectualizing pain and actually experiencing it, and the growing conversation around psychedelics, personal growth, women's healing and transformation.

Cindy brings more than 35 years of experience studying the mind, heart and human behavior. She is a Certified NLP Practitioner, HeartMath Practitioner, Brain Health Coach, Hypnotherapist and trained Psychedelic Guide and Integration Coach.

From British Columbia to the deeper questions of identity, purpose and fulfillment, this is a conversation about what happens when the life you've built no longer feels like the life you're meant to live.

What happens when you stop pushing through—and finally listen to yourself?

We get into it all.
