Ep 427 | I Died to Become Me — My Mushroom Journey, Ego Death & Finding My Path | Branchy’s RFN

Author: Cameron Branch and Daniel Delby May 3, 2026 Duration: 39:46

In this episode of Branchy’s Real Fake News, I open up about my guided mushroom journey — not from a place of hype, but from truth. This wasn’t about escaping reality… it was about facing it.


I was shown the parts of myself I’d buried — the pain, the trauma, the patterns — and instead of running, I learned to meet it all with love. Real love. Understanding. Compassion for the version of me that was just trying to survive.


There were moments of complete surrender… where control dissolved and something deeper took over. Call it intuition, call it the universe, call it whatever you want — but it spoke through signs, through feelings, through subtle breadcrumbs guiding me back to alignment.


This episode is about what happens when you stop resisting your path… and start trusting it.


Not everything in life is meant to be forced. Some things are meant to be felt, understood… and let go.


This is that story.

Ever find yourself down a rabbit hole at two in the morning, puzzling over a strange news headline or a bizarre historical footnote? That’s the territory The Hard Yarns Podcast lives in. Hosts Cameron Branch and Daniel Delby-known to their listeners as Branchy and Delby-sit down with a new guest each week to pull on those loose threads in our culture, politics, sports, and even spirituality. Their approach is less about finding definitive answers and more about the joy of the messy, curious conversation that happens along the way. You’ll hear discussions that can pivot from the mechanics of a conspiracy theory to the nuances of mental health without missing a beat, all delivered with an unfiltered and often comedic honesty. This isn’t a polished lecture series; it’s the feeling of a great late-night chat where no topic is off limits and everything is examined with a blend of skepticism and open-minded curiosity. Tune in for the raw, winding dialogues that make this podcast a consistently surprising listen, where the journey through the weird and the profound is always the point.
