Social Media:
Jeremy, a spirited former Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer turned PTSD advocate, brings a pilot’s precision and a father’s heart to his mission with Project Life Spark. After a decade of frontline policing left him grappling with trauma, he found healing through psychedelic therapy in Mexico, a journey that transformed his life. Now, as an Aviation Advisor and founder of a future charity, he’s on a mission to fund retreats, push for policy change, and back research on ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT for Canadian veterans and first responders. From small-town Alberta to the skies and back, Jeremy’s story of resilience, hope, and open-mindedness—fueled by his love for Seinfeld reruns and marathon running—shows how embracing new paths can spark profound change.
This episode was incredible. I forgot I was recording more than once. It was a man’s journey to healing told in a way that kept me engaged from start to finish. I’m deeply grateful to have connected with Jeremy and have the chance to hear his story. Psychedelics carry a stigma, and I hope to change that by sharing stories like his. They’re not a simple or easy cure for all mental health challenges, but for PTSD they’re a powerful starting point. This experience gave me a perspective that changed my life, which I believe is the purpose of therapy: to shift how we view the things causing us stress. I used to hate therapy because like most EOD people I know, I thought I was smarter than the person talking to me. The one I wasn’t smarter than was myself—and my ego. It convinced me that seeking help was weak, that those who got help weren’t as strong as me, and that drinking to blackout to sleep was just what ancient warriors did. Psychedelics showed me I was an idiot; those were weak, pathetic attempts to justify my poor behavior. It’s so much easier to lie to myself than to admit I’m failing myself and everyone in my orbit of destruction. More than that, psychedelics taught me compassion. I felt compassion for the version of me who did his best with what he knew.
