Excerpt:

After years of people-pleasing and toxic relationships, Ayla’s life came to a sudden halt with a stage 3 cancer diagnosis—a wake-up call that forced her to confront her buried trauma.

The Truth Trip follows her raw, transformative journey, as she navigates unconventional paths of healing that defy mainstream advice and explore the hidden messages within illness.

From life in a Kenyan mud hut to fleeing a narcissistic partner and braving illegal pregnancy abroad, Ayla’s story unveils her struggle to reclaim herself and her health. Plant medicine, psychedelic journeys, and deep inner work lead her to confront her childhood wounds and rediscover the power of self-compassion and authenticity. With humor and resilience, she journeys back to Ireland and finds unexpected healing in the land, her community, canine and equine companions, and, ultimately, within herself.
