I wrote in the past about the benefits of cleansing as a way to get unstuck. Clearing is step 0 of any transformation…you have to make space for better things to come and get rid of anything and everything that is not congruent with your vision of success.

In this issue, I shine a spotlight on an inspiring interview from The Microdose Diet podcast, featuring Dilan Gomih, a trailblazer at the intersection of wellness and the corporate world.

Key Takeaways

• Self-Care as a Priority: Dilan reminds us that taking care of oneself is not an act of selfishness but a necessity. By being our best selves, we contribute more effectively to our workplaces and communities.
• The Power of a Minute: The 60-second workout is a testament to the idea that small actions can lead to big changes. It's about reclaiming control over our well-being, one minute at a time.
• Wellness is a Corporate Responsibility: Dilan's work underscores the importance of organizational support in employee wellness. By investing in well-being, companies can enhance performance, reduce burnout, and foster a more positive workplace culture.

🙅Mismanaged Psychedelics Can Quickly Become A Liability for Organizations

As you know,  I am a fervent advocate for the strategic and mindful practice of psychedelics for performance and mental wellness. However it is difficult for me not to recognize that the Psychedelic Gentrification is making things quite complicated for organizations…

🦸‍♀️Roles

🧭Responsibilities
Revising Policies and Communication:
- Drug Policies
- Workplace Handbooks
- Communication
- Legal Insights
- Taking Responsibilities
- Compassion
Educating Employees on Best Practices:
- Mindful Practice
- Quality Products
- Strategic Protocol

☣️Risks
Legal Risks:
- Federal Prohibitions
- Compliance Challenges
- Class Actions
- Employee Safety
- Reputation Risks
Health Risks:
- Occupational Hazards
- Potential Consequences

Navigating the presence of psychedelics in the workplace presents a significant challenge for board members and managers. Leaders have a critical role to play in addressing the presence of psychedelics in the workplace. By assuming responsibility for implementing best practices, revising policies, and effectively communicating with employees, they can mitigate potential risks while fostering a safe and supportive work environment. It is essential for board members and managers to approach this challenge with diligence, compassion, and a commitment to promoting employee well-being and organizational success.

⛓️Breaking Free from the Illusion of Perfection
Among the plethora of societal myths, "You Can Have It All" stands out as one of the most insidious forms of gaslighting, especially when considering the expectations placed on women.

🤥“You Can Have It All” = The Ultimate Gaslighting
The notion that women can (and should) effortlessly juggle a super successful career, look like a supermodel, raise wonderfully well-adjusted kids, be a fabulous spouse while being well-travelled, educated and pleasing (but still assertive) is at best damaging, at worst mental, emotional and physical subjugation. 

Want to level up your gaslighting radar? Order The Brain Power Microdose to get that extra help.

👸The Illusion of Perfection
This gaslighting is especially pernicious because it preys on women's insecurities that have been carefully cultivated since childhood (it is indeed much easier to manipulate an insecure individual, so let’s start them young!), as well as societal expectations. It suggests that any failure to meet these unrealistic standards is a personal failing rather than a systemic issue. 

🤷‍♀️Manipulated into Obedience and Conformity
Moreover, the "You Can Have It All" gaslighting undermines the concept of choice and autonomy. The pressure to conform to this ideal leaves little room for individuality or self-expression.

Need a little help on how to break free from gaslighting? Pre-order The Microdose Diet for a guide to do just that!

🔓Reclaiming One’s Freedom
Opting out of this destructive cycle doesn't mean settling for less; rather, it's about rejecting the false promises and unrealistic expectations that have been imposed upon women. It's about redefining success on one's own terms and prioritizing fulfillment and well-being over external validation.

Contrary to popular misconceptions, psychedelics are not a shortcut to instant enlightenment or a magic pill for all of life's problems. Instead, they are a catalyst, an amplifier that can significantly augment other practices, leading to greater success, passion, and happiness when used intentionally and responsibly.

Microdosing psilosybin + alternative practices = Optimal abilities to:
🧠Rewire the brain 
🧍Calm the body
😟Master emotions
🔋Raise energy level

It's essential to emphasize that working with psychedelics requires a strategic and holistic approach.  It's not enough to simply ingest psychedelics and expect instant transformation. Instead, it's crucial to have a well-thought-out protocol in place, incorporating preparation, ongoing support and integration.

The Microdose Diet protocol will guide you through all the steps from microdosing psilocybin to preparation, ongoing support and integration practices.

On another note, the quality of the psychedelic product is paramount. It's essential to source psychedelics from reputable suppliers who adhere to strict quality control standards to ensure purity, potency, and safety.

Unlike many other substances, psychedelics are non-addictive, and it's virtually impossible to overdose on them.

In conclusion, psychedelics are not a panacea or a magic pill. Rather, they are a potent amplifier that can enhance existing practices and accelerate personal growth.

I know some of you might be cringing already, ready to jump at my jugular while screaming that women are the victims of the patriarchy, not men. The reality is that the two statements are true; Men and Women are both short-changed by the patriarchal system. This is not a zero-sum game with one being exclusive of the other. Whether a “They”, a “She” or a “He”, patriarchy is not helping anyone.

Check out the data below and think again if you believed that our current system is a system promoting success, passion and happiness. 

🔒Jail
🍸Addictions
🧠Mental Health
🎓Education
👨‍👧‍👧Family Life
💣 Extremism

As always there is more than meets the eye when it comes to our society. Yes, on one hand, positions of leaderships in government, corporations, and everywhere in between are still mainly held by men. But on the other hand, behind the headlines of CEO billionaires, the overall picture is not that resplendent for gentlemen.
