  • Episode 12: Journeys to Purpose w/Neil Markey

    Episode 12: Journeys to Purpose w/Neil Markey
    Nov 13 2025

    In this episode of the Cricket Fixes Podcast, Cricket sits down with Neil Markey, Co-Founder and CEO of Beckley Retreats, to explore how psychedelic-assisted retreats, meditation, and nervous system regulation can help you move from “I’m fine” to truly alive.


    Neil shares his powerful journey from Army Ranger and war veteran, to Columbia University, to high-pressure corporate work at McKinsey—where his mental health quietly unraveled—then into deep healing through meditation and professionally facilitated psychedelic experiences.


    Together, we talk about:


    • Why you don’t have to be “broken” or clinically diagnosed to benefit from psychedelic work

    • How journeys act in layers—each one helping you release, rewire, and realign

    • The role of meditation as a non-negotiable foundation for purpose, clarity, and peace

    • How Beckley Retreats blends science, data, and tradition to create safe, transformative programs

    • What actually creates lasting change after a retreat: habits, integration, and nervous system care

    • The ache of being “off your path” and how to start listening to your soul’s calling



    Cricket also shares how her own psychedelic journey helped her release childhood trauma, quit alcohol for good, and step into a life that feels spiritually aligned and purpose-led.
