Rich Roll Podcast
Inside My 72-Hour Psychedelic Iboga Therapy With Julie Piatt
"The old you, even in a condition of helping me, you came with that backpack of resentment, of being put upon. I always felt that separation. You said, I'll come with you to the car wash. Just that statement, I was like, whoa. We went to the movies and your face was so close to mine. You were just there with me. And I felt like you were telling me your secrets and like I was the only person in the world. I had never felt like that about you."
Julie Roll described profound changes in her husband's presence and behavior following his iboga journey, citing mundane moments like a car wash visit as revelatory. She emphasized that for the first time in their 25-year relationship, Rich showed up without resentment or urgency, simply being present. Julie characterized the shift as him being 'reborn' and noted it gave their long marriage renewed hope for evolution and intimacy.
