Weighing In On Happy with Victoria Evans Official

If you’ve ever felt shame around your body, your pleasure, or your emotions, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh, sacred air. I’m joined by the powerful Leslie Draffin: somatic guide, microdosing mentor, and womb mystic who helps midlife women reclaim their worth, heal trauma, and live lit-up lives. We talk about: * How shame disconnects us from our bodies, and how to return home * What it actually means to be a womb mystic * Why microdosing psilocybin can help with anxiety, burnout, menstrual pain, and creativity * How to get started with Leslie’s Cyclical Microdosing Method * Sensual rituals for reconnecting with your body (including vulva gazing, womb massage & playlists!) * Why the womb is more than a reproductive organ, it's a portal for healing and power Whether you're psychedelic-curious or deep in your healing journey, this conversation offers a wildly refreshing take on what it means to reconnect with your feminine fire.

Today, I’m joined by the incredible Amita Sharma, co-founder of NourishDoc, a global holistic wellness platform designed to support women through every stage of hormonal transition, from PMS to postmenopause.
