    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.

  • Episode 10: Release. Recalibrate. Reclaim.
    Jun 18 2025

    In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share the story I’ve been sitting on for months—the one that cracked me open and changed everything. This is the journey of releasing a toxic, trauma-bonded relationship, recalibrating through inner child healing and sobriety, and finally reclaiming the powerful, purposeful woman I am today.

    I share my story not to expose or blame, but to liberate—myself and anyone else stuck in the cycle of gaslighting, self-abandonment, or addiction. If you’ve ever wondered why you stayed too long, why it felt impossible to leave, or how to rebuild your life after the darkness, this one’s for you.

    I talk about:

    • The truth behind my breakup, and how I lost—and found—myself again

    • Why trauma bonds and love bombing feel like soulmates

    • The pivotal role psychedelics played in ending my relationship with alcohol

    • The magic of reparenting your inner children and reclaiming your wholeness

    • How to take radical responsibility without shame—and finally come home to yourself

    Whether you’re in the storm, crawling out of it, or standing in the sun for the first time in years, this episode is a lifeline. May it help you release what no longer serves, recalibrate your nervous system, and reclaim the you that’s been there all along.

    Can you embrace anger on your spiritual journey? In this thought-provoking episode of The Cricket Fixes Podcast, host Christa King (aka Cricket) sits down with spiritual psychologist Casey Stevens to explore the intricate relationship between spirituality and anger—two forces that often seem at odds but are actually deeply interconnected.

    Casey shares her personal journey from struggle to self-discovery, blending clinical psychology and ancient spiritual practices to help others heal. Together, we unpack:

    🔥 Why anger is a powerful teacher rather than a force to suppress

    🌱 How to integrate spiritual wisdom with real human emotions (without bypassing them!)

    ⚖️ The hidden costs of “love and light” culture and how to process emotions in a grounded way

    🔍 How to turn anger into action that aligns with your deepest values

    🌳 The “tree analogy”—why your spiritual growth is only as strong as your roots

    If you’ve ever felt conflicted about your anger, or if you’re tired of the “just be positive” approach to healing, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your emotions, harness your inner fire, and deepen your spiritual path—without losing your humanity in the process.
