Dana is a micro-dose educator and guide with 20 years of experience in supporting high impact leaders to rebalance their lives into authentically fulfilled version of themselves. In this episode Dana shares her story from  a top CCO to the vast opening of engagement in her own heart center.  We speak about women, empowerment, and  leadership in
psychedelics today.

Dana Harvey, founder of The Flourish Academy, psychedelics and microdosing educator and guide, knows how it can feel to “look” like you have everything going for you on the outside, but to “feel” unfulfilled, disconnected, and not living in alignment with your heart on the inside. She’s been there. But, her work with plant medicine - supported with guidance, education and community - helped her recover her passion for life and the joy in her soul. 

Dana particularly loves supporting leaders - entrepreneurs, CEOs, founders, community leaders   - because they often face a particular type of challenge at the top and, having come from that background, Dana can relate. She also knows the ripple effect that can to spread to so many others when leaders are able to heal, grow, and feel whole.

Dana is also passionate about serving women. She knows plant medicines can have profound effects on women’s relationships with their bodies, hormonal issues, and related mental health issues. Coming from a background of male dominated industries  and smashing glass ceilings in leadership of other women, Dana supported women for many years, even co-founding a non-profit organization, the Women’s Collaborative Hub.
