"We have to see realness and relatability in each other’s joy and in each other’s success because that’s the only way we elevate everyone’s frequency together."

EFR 618: Higher Self Behaviors, Living on Brand, and the Vivid Spectrum of Psychedelic Healing with Emily Duncan
Being a human means you’re going to experience difficult emotions, traumas, and hardships… but being a human also means that you have the ability to heal, connect with your Higher Self, and make an impact in the world.
Meet Emily Duncan, CEO of Emily Duncan Fitness, a science-based and human-centric fitness coaching company. Emily is not only passionate about transforming bodies and minds through health and fitness, she’s also passionate about the impacts of spirituality, mindfulness, and psychedelics on the human experience.
Chase and Emily have a cozy conversation about psychedelics and microdosing, connecting with your Higher Self through Higher Self Behaviors, what it means to live on brand, and how she helps others find health and wholeness through fitness coaching.

Key Highlights
Emily describes (for the first time publicly) her experience during a psychedelic trip that initiated healing from deeply rooted traumas. She speaks on the existential crisis that blossomed out of that experience, how she overcame that, and the lessons she learned along the way.
Living on brand, having conviction in who you are now and how you might change tomorrow, is immensely powerful. “To really solidify who your people are, to become more aware of the growth you’ve had, just to really connect with other human beings in a totally different way happens so much more significantly when you can look at a person and it’s just like, you are fully fucking you,” Chase says.
Can we experience life-changing realizations on our own volition, without psychedelics? Listen in as Emily and Chase share their candid thoughts on how to reach a psychedelic state of mind without taking psychedelics.
One of the biggest joys Emily has experienced in life is the opportunity to learn about herself and understanding why she has functioned the way she has. This is also what she helps her coaching clients do. We are not static creatures, so taking risks, believing in yourself, and trusting the Universe seems to be the root of all joy and growth.
Emily breaks down how she integrates behavior change, emotional awareness, and other teachings into her coaching practice.
What does a day in the life of your Higher Self look like? What is your Higher Self’s brand? When you break down your Higher Self Behaviors (HSBs), especially the small details and moments, pick one of the easiest things you can start doing right now. Then, continue doing that and see how your life and mindset shift. Emily believes you’ll start seeing that you’re not as far away from who you want to be as you might think…
Powerful Quotes by Emily Duncan
What is more human than seeing another human’s soul and loving it?
We can’t just continue to trauma bond or suffer bond or only see realness and relatability in people’s pain. We have to see realness and relatability in each other’s joy and in each other’s success because that’s the only way we elevate everyone’s frequency together.
The more you try and cut yourself off and numb yourself to the stuff that hurts, the more you cut yourself off to the best feelings you could ever experience.
