Parenting is a Joke

Microdosing, Menopause, and the Magic of Mushrooms with Tracey Tee


Listen Later

In this snack-sized episode of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg is joined again by Tracey Tee—comedian turned founder of Moms on Mushrooms (M.O.M.)—to talk about how microdosing psilocybin became the unexpected tool that helped her feel more present, emotionally resilient, and aligned as a parent. Tracey explains how her past work creating The Pump and Dump Show laid the groundwork for building a mushroom-centered community for moms looking for healing, connection, and alternatives to antidepressants. They discuss the myths around microdosing, the stigma of moms on psychedelics, and why Tracey compares it to a cup of coffee rather than a drug-induced haze. She breaks down how most moms in her community aren’t looking to get high—they’re looking to feel something again after years of numbing out on SSRIs, exhaustion, and societal expectations. Tracey also explains why mushrooms, unlike wine or wellness trends, actually ask moms to show up for their own healing with intention. The episode ends with Tracey reflecting on the exact moment she knew the mushrooms were working: when she stopped parenting for appearances and started listening to what her daughter actually needed.
