Motivated by a near-death experience, Laura Scarpati hosts The Woo Report, a spiritual podcast for the curious, the open-minded, and anyone fascinated by all things mystical, woo-woo, and beyond.
Laura, your new woo-woo bestie, dives into the unseen energies of the universe, from spiritual awakenings and frequency healing to plant medicine, chakras, past lives, astrology, numerology, and the synchronicities that make life feel extra magical.
With zero gatekeeping and vetted psychics, mediums, energy healers, light workers, death doulas, shamans and more, each episode explores energetic experiences, insights, and perspectives then maps how this information can help us live better.

40. MDMA Therapy with Serena Turner
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Content Warning: This episode contains a conversation about an act of childhood sexual assault.
MDMA — also known as the pure form of Ecstasy or Molly — is a psychoactive substance that increases serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin in the brain. It’s illegal, mainly because the U.S. government classified it in the ’80s as a Schedule I drug. But like many political decisions made 30+ years ago, it’s definitely worth another look.
These days, most people know MDMA from the party scene... raves, festivals...where it’s known to make people feed really good - it also heightens empathy, connection, and emotional openness. Doesn’t sound too bad, right?
MDMA can also be a powerful tool for healing trauma.
My friend, screenwriter Serena Turner, is sharing how MDMA therapy completely changed her life. Through it, she finally was able to process and release a deep wound from childhood, a moment in third grade when a teacher did something so awful, it stayed buried in her body for decades.
So if there’s a medicine that can support us in our healing, help us release trauma, release fear, feel unstuck, and reconnect to ourselves, why wouldn’t we, safely and intentionally, in a therapeutic setting, use it? Serena is advocating for exactly that.
