In this episode of the Mushroom Mamasita Podcast Wren, a boudoir photographer shares her transformative journey from growing up in a conservative Christian household to discovering radical self-acceptance through psychedelics and photography. After leaving the church at 24, Wren embarked on a cross-country journey of self-discovery that led her from the depths of the Grand Canyon where she left her shame behind; to the cliffs of Hawaii, where her first acid experience shattered her religious constraints and opened her to a wider spiritual perspective.

We explore the profound intersection of plant medicine, feminine embodiment, and photography as portals for transformation. They dive into how branding and boudoir photography serves as a healing practice that allows women to reclaim their sexuality, shed body shame, and document themselves as ever-evolving beings.

This conversation is a celebration of rebirth, artistic expression, and the courage it takes to show up fully for yourself whether in front of a camera or in mushroom ceremony.

Books I mentioned are:

Listener discretion is advised: This podcast discusses sensitive topics related to trauma, abuse, addiction and psychedelic therapy, which may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners.  I encourage listeners to engage mindfully and take care of themselves throughout the conversation.
