A road less travelled

As a solo mother to a teenage boy navigating life in a foreign country, my story isn't exactly conventional... Yet, I believe the time has come to share the profound experiences magic mushrooms have brought me and to 'come out of the psychedelic closet.'"

For as long as I can remember, at least two decades back, I felt a lack of self-esteem, energy, and joy.

I tried everything, but alternative medicine and pharmaceuticals led nowhere, and I was on a mission for a solution.

The first taste

Through friends, I had heard about this special 'magic mushrooms' that was said to be incredible life transformative. My curiosity was piqued and for about 6 month I self educated on this seemingly life changing fungi, until one morning with a mix of fear and excitement, feeling like Alice in Wonderland, eating her cake, I took my first microdose.

I was sitting on my couch, eagerly awaiting that the light be turned on in my mind, but to be honest nothing mush happened at first. But then I went outside and it was as if the world had gone from my 2D black and white movie to a 3D colors screen. I wasn't feeling high or even any particular feeling. It just felt for the first time in a very very long time, like the world was a nice place. With each dose, and each week, a newfound sense of gratitude emerged, and I began to appreciate life's simplest pleasures again.

I discovered a profound shift in the way I engaged with the world. The boundaries of what I thought possible began to fade, giving rise to open-hearted connections and honest conversations.

By slowly learning to honor myself, setting personal boundaries that resonated with my values, I cultivated a newfound confidence that expanded to every facet of my life. Also my work.

I have come to believe that psychedelics possess a transformative power that invites us to shed societal masks and venture into the depths of our true authentic selves.

And what if I shared these?

Truly, I believe that if more women practiced microdosing, we could unlock the profound healing potential and transformative wisdom that psychedelics have to offer, even within the confines of a society that may not yet fully grasp their power.

And while I understand the weight of the stigma surrounding psychedelics, I firmly believe in the importance of shifting collective consciousness especially in today’s social and environmental climate.

When we transcend the judgment and ego that so often misguide us, we can finally engage in nuanced conversations and thoughtful dialogues.

Though the path I have chosen may require discretion at times, I am committed to being a catalyst for change in the way I can. It is my hope that my journey will inspire other women to embark on their own journey and unlock the transformative power that lies within.

Mush Love,
