This episode is recorded in a powerful moment right before my book Microdosing Mushrooms: A Guide to Working with the Sacred for Healing goes live. 

This book was not written in a perfect, inspired, uninterrupted flow state.

It was written through resistance and while I was healing.

In this episode, I share what microdosing actually did for me and my big thing. The Sacred Mushroom helped me face what was in the way. The fear, the avoidance, the patterns, and the parts of me that were not yet ready to hold what I was trying to create.

This episode is a reframe, for me and for you. Microdosing is not just about focus or productivity or performance optimization. It is a relationship! This work reveals what is in the way and invites you to grow into the version of yourself who can hold more.

I talk about what it looked like to write this book while navigating those edges, how the medicine guided me through resistance, and why the deeper work is always about becoming instead of forcing.

If you are in a season of building something, creating something, or stepping into a new level of your life, this conversation will meet you there.

After three years of writing (and 5 months of obsessively finishing, refining, and pouring myself into every page) Microdosing Mushrooms is officially one step closer to being in your hands!

This episode is about crossing a threshold, both mine and yours! 

I share the story of how this book began — in one of my darkest seasons, when a friend handed me the ground sacred mushroom in a spice jar and unknowingly altered the course of my life. 

What followed was a story of devotion: years of practicing, teaching, refining, and finally solidifying my method into a true 101 guide for healing with microdosing mushrooms.

Inside this episode, I talk about:

• The initiation of writing and finishing the manuscript for Microdosing Mushrooms.
• What the book actually covers (sourcing, intention setting, dosage, protocols for the somatic self-healer)
• Why this is an accessible but deeply embodied introduction to working with the sacred mushroom
• The pride, fear, and exhilaration of being seen as an expert
• The paradox of feeling blessed beyond measure… while knowing everything can change at any moment

This moment feels significant ,not just professionally, but personally. As a mom. As a healer. As someone who has quietly built this ministry with devotion and faith.

I’m standing at a threshold. And I’m inviting you to stand here with me!

Soon, this work will be in your hands and you will know the more vulnerable aspects of my story of working with these sacred mushroom friends. 

This episode is a celebration of milestones (the visible and invisible ones) and a reminder to honor the thresholds in your own life.

We’re just getting started.

About a month before publishing my book, everything in me feels like it’s unraveling.

The spirals. The dreams. The old wounds resurfacing. The nervous system reaching for control. 

If you’ve ever worked with psychedelic medicine, you may recognize this terrain — that strange threshold where clarity is coming, but first, something loosens.

In this episode, I name the mess in real time.

I share what dysregulation has looked like for me lately...a headshot spiral, sending the wrong book title to my designer, abandonment patterns creeping in, skipping self-care and scrolling instead. 

I talk about the dreams of searching, screaming, cleaning: this is the subconscious integration that happens before something new stabilizes.

And I share what medicines I’m working with as I move through it all. 

• Rose Sacrament, opening my heart so wide it almost aches, teaching me softness and boundaries at the same time.
• The Original Sacrament (Psilocybin), supporting emotional access for me to feel, cry, move, settle.
• Amanita Sacrament (Amanita muscaria), helping me locate my body and stay human inside the unraveling.

This episode is about why the mess comes before something meaningful is born, how psychedelic healing loosens structures and dissolves false safety, and what it looks like to stay with yourself instead of abandoning yourself when old wounds resurface.

At the heart of it all is a simple phrase that is changing everything for me:

“I’m here.”

We explore how presence regulates the nervous system, how loving attention creates safety, and why the medicine doesn’t remove the mess, it teaches you how to remain inside it.

This is also the work at the core of my upcoming book, Microdosing Mushrooms: A Guide to Working with the Sacred for Healing, how to meet it with embodiment, support, and spiritual anchoring.

If you are in your own “mess before the breakthrough,” this episode is a hand on your back.

You are not alone. I’m here!

Winter is not the season to push, optimize, or fix yourself, it’s the season to listen, soften, and integrate.

In this episode, I come to you straight from the sauna (warm, reflective, and grounded in the medicine of winter!) to share three core practices that support healing during the colder months, especially when microdosing is your primary spiritual and embodied practice.

Inside our culture, we’re taught to control variables, track outcomes, and force consistency. But winter invites something different. 

I'll share a little from my own experience as well as stories from those inside the community so you can see how healing deepens when we allow ourselves to move at winter’s pace.

In this episode, we explore three core winter healing practices:

• Slow down — honoring rest, reduced output, and nervous system safety
• Let it be messy — releasing the need to control every variable or “do it right”
• Meet yourself exactly where you are — without judgment, comparison, or pressure

I'm inviting you to explore practical ways to work with your microdose when energy is low or motivation feels inconsistent and offering gentle encouragement for those feeling behind, tender, or unsure this winter.

This is an invitation to hibernate, not disappear, to heal without forcing growth and to let microdosing support you in listening more deeply to your body, your spirit, and the season itself.

Slowing Down to Heal, Listen, and Move With Intention

Winter invites a different way of showing up. Instead of pushing for change, this season asks us to slow down, listen, and create the internal conditions that make healing possible.

In this episode, I share a teaching and guided experience from inside the ministry on how to show up for yourself this winter, through intentional slowing down rather than force.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why winter is a powerful season for healing and reorganization
• How slowing down supports nervous system safety and reduces resistance
• Three ways “slow down” can show up in daily life:
• How microdosing and embodiment work together to support lasting change

Inside the ministry, we work with a supportive rhythm:

• 4-weeks of consistent microdosing with any of the sacraments
• 60 minutes per week of embodiment, including breathwork, intuitive movement, vagal toning, self-touch, or gentle exercise

Embodiment means paying attention to your bodily experience from within, without judgment or trying to fix it.

This episode includes a short embodied reflection to help you slow down, listen inwardly, and move forward with intention.

If you feel called to practice this work with support, you’re invited to join the Embodied Microdosing Challenge, beginning Friday, January 16.

What does it actually mean to maximize a microdose when life is busy, noisy, and far from ideal?

This episode explores how to work with a microdose in real life (with kids, responsibilities, conversations, and full schedules) without needing perfect conditions or elaborate rituals. 

Rather than striving to “do it right,” this episode invites a relational approach to microdosing, one built through consistency, presence, and lived integration over time. 

Your life isn’t a distraction from the medicine. It’s where the medicine learns to work.

What We Explore

• Why the pressure to be perfectly intentional often leads to avoidance
• Releasing the myth of the “ideal” microdosing container
• Maximizing a microdose as relationship, not productivity
• Holding one intention over time (instead of constantly changing it)
• Letting everyday life be the integration field

Microdosing isn’t about stepping out of life — it’s about meeting life differently.

This is a stream-of-consciousness, channeled episode recorded from inside the infrared sauna on my phone.

You’ll hear 23 minutes at 149 degrees F, my breath, my prayers, my discomfort, and what moves through me as I stay present with myself in heat and narrate my experience.

This is not a teaching episode in the traditional sense. It’s an invitation into a lived, embodied moment in my real life, there are awkward pauses and all. 

Earlier that day, I worked intentionally with the sacraments, really leaning into Rose for some heart opening after a cranky morning. About an hour before entering the sauna, I took a very generous microdose with the Original Sacrament (15 drops), setting a clear intention to clear the post-Christmas mental chatter that was driving me a little batty and a moderate dose of cannabis, which always helps me really observe, think creatively, and feel my body very strongly.

I entered the sauna not to escape sensation, but to meet it and to share how microdosing, detoxification, breath, and prayer can work together as a single embodied practice.

As I sit in the heat, I narrate what’s arising in real time:

• Physical sensations and waves of discomfort
• Emotional and nervous system processing
• Prayer and breath as anchors
• Two sacred animal teachers who arrive and guide the experience
• A tender moment with “Little Ry,” who appears through a photograph I notice outside the sauna

This episode was channeled as a way of expanding how I define embodiment.

For me, embodiment now includes intentional detoxification practices, when they are approached with reverence, and presence to create a mind–body–spirit healing experience. 

When we weave ritual, prayer, breath, and sacramental support into practices that are often framed as purely physical, magic can unfold. 

The sauna becomes a temple, sweat becomes a prayer, and discomfort becomes information, not something to override or conquer.

You may want to listen while resting, walking, journaling, or during your own slow, intentional practice. There is no right way to receive this, only an invitation to notice what moves through you as you listen.

If you’re exploring microdosing, sacred mushrooms, cannabis, or detox practices as part of an embodied spiritual path, this episode offers a felt sense of how these elements can be woven together with care and intention.

As always, move gently, stay with your body, and trust what it is telling you!

In this episode, we explore depression through a body-based and nervous-system lens. 

Rather than viewing depression as a fixed identity or purely mental condition, we look at how suppressed emotions, dorsal vagal shutdown, and immobilization patterns shape the experience in the body. 

We discuss why movement, breath, sunlight, nourishment, and somatic practices are essential for shifting depressive states, and how winter itself can be a supportive season for recalibration. 

We also cover what current research says about psychedelics and microdosing for mood support, the importance of integration, and how reframing “I am depressed” to “My system is in a depressive state” empowers change. 

You are are invited to reflect on what your body may be holding and explore some  simple daily practices to support your regulation and healing!

What if ADHD isn’t a disorder, but a message from your nervous system and an invitation to heal?

In this episode, I explore ADHD through a trauma- and nervous-system-informed lens, sharing how I have learned to regulate, focus, and create without stimulant medication. 

Drawing from both science and spirit, I explain how microdosing, embodiment, and intentional ritual can help rewire the brain and bring balance back to the body.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or simply struggle to focus, this episode will help you understand attention not as a deficit, but as a muscle you can strengthen with compassion, consistency, and a little help from the sacred mushroom.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why ADHD can be understood as a trauma and nervous system response, not just a diagnosis
•  How microdosing, breathwork, and Lion’s Mane support neuroplasticity and focus
•  Ways to retrain your “focus muscle” through rhythm, ritual, and body awareness
•  What happens when you shift from cheap dopamine hits to meaningful nourishment
• The truth about stimulants, caffeine, and healing a sensitive nervous system

So many of us want to heal — to feel more grounded, peaceful, and connected — but the moment we try to commit to a practice, resistance appears. In this episode, we explore how devotion, not discipline, is the energy that transforms healing from a “to-do” list item into a sacred homecoming.

You’ll hear me speak about:

• The difference between commitment and devotion
• Why showing up — gently, consistently — is itself the healing
• How trauma patterns (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) show up even when we’re facing ourselves
• How devotion helps regulate the nervous system and rebuild inner safety
• How Amanita Muscaria in microdoses is helping me do this
• What it means to create sacred rhythm in your healing journey

Healing isn’t about forcing change — it’s about allowing yourself to be held as it unfolds.
