In this episode of the Mushroom Mamasita Podcast, I sit down with a good friend to recount her work with mushrooms over the past 3 years.

She vulnerably opens up about her evolution from overdrive to self-love. We dive into the beauty and difficulty of entrepreneurship, healing past wounds, and trusting the intelligence of the body. She shares how mushrooms taught her how to create safety, joy, and softness from within.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they've had to hold it all together for everyone all of the time. Her story is a permission slip to finally let go, feel deeply, and come home to yourself.

In this intimate solo episode of the Mushroom Mamasita Podcast, I take you behind the curtain and into my own journey with psychedelics, rebellion, and coming home to myself by following a path that is right for me. I share how mushrooms became my medicine, not just for trauma, but for soul remembrance.

This is the story of how and why I left the big city of Austin, Texas to live on a wild 80 acre property out in the middle of nowhere Virginia.

This is a true and vulnerable account of how I have forged my own path as a woman, mystic, and entrepreneur. No matter the pressure to settle down, have kids, get married and get that kush corporate job, I have decided to off road instead of taking the road often expected. This episode is me opening the kimono to expose the raw, unfiltered truth of who I am and why I take messages from the mushrooms seriously.

I talk about conscious rebellion, the call to serve, and how plant medicine helped me reclaim my voice, body, and the strength I need to set off on the new adventure that my soul is calling me to take.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold… this one’s for you.
