I Want to Microdose Mushrooms But I'm Afraid!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2427665/fan_mail/new] You've heard the stories. You believe the science. You've listened to the podcasts. You've joined the communities. You've spent hours researching protocols, doses, strains, schedules, and success stories! And yet... you still haven't started. If that's you, this episode is for you. Today we're exploring one of the most common barriers to beginning a microdosing practice: fear.  Not because you're weak, uncommitted, or doing it wrong, but because your nervous system is designed to keep you safe. In this episode, I share why so many people get stuck in the cycle of endless learning, planning, and preparation without ever taking the first step.  We'll explore how overthinking and resistance a form of protection, what your nervous system may be trying to accomplish, and how to gently move through it without pressuring yourself. You'll learn why starting imperfectly is often more powerful than waiting for the perfect moment and I'll even share some gentle ways to build trust with yourself as you begin your microdosing journey If you've been standing at the edge, wondering whether you're ready, this episode offers a compassionate perspective on what may be holding you back and how to move forward with greater confidence and self-trust. Your path begins with a single drop!  I would love to support you on your microdosing journey.

There's 2 Ways to Microdose Mushrooms for Healing

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2427665/fan_mail/new] Which one of these are you missing?  In this episode, I share the two ways I believe microdosing sacred mushrooms can support your healing and transformation. The first is learning how to live your microdosing practice in real life: bringing awareness into your body throughout the day, noticing your system, taking breaths, making small adjustments, and allowing the medicine to support you moment by moment. I even give a practical example of how I did this recently when in a conversation with someone! The second is creating intentional space to go deeper through ceremony, ritual, embodiment, and inner work. This is where we slow down, listen inward, and allow the sacrament to guide deeper healing and connection. I do this in my life, and I guide others to do it. It's my favorite way to work with the Sacrament, and its beautiful the healing it promotes!  I share how this second approach is woven into my Journey to Heal Membership, where I guide members through embodied healing practices, ceremonies, breathwork, and ways to work intentionally with the mushroom sacrament for transformation and nervous system healing.

Ideal Scheduling, Consistency, and Timing of your Mushroom Microdose

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2427665/fan_mail/new] One of the most common questions I hear is: “How often should I microdose for max results?” And the honest answer is… it depends. In this episode, we explore the rhythm of microdosing as a living, evolving relationship between you, your body, and the medicine. Microdosing isn’t something to do every day. In fact, the pauses between doses are just as important as the dose itself. These integration days are where your nervous system catches up, where insights begin to land, and where real change takes root. Inside this conversation, I walk you through three primary approaches to scheduling: *  The every third day rhythm (one day on, two days off), a gentle and widely trusted starting point that helps you observe contrast, afterglow, and baseline  *  The Stamets-inspired approach (multiple consecutive days on, followed by rest), which can support momentum, creativity, and more intensive healing windows  *  The intuitive approach, where you begin to listen deeply and allow your dosing to be guided by your inner knowing and real-time needs  We also talk about what consistency actually means in this work. Returning to the practice week after week, allowing the medicine to build on itself over time. You’ll hear reflections on: *  Why tolerance builds quickly (and why that’s actually supportive)  *  How to work with your nervous system instead of overwhelming it  *  The importance of integration, embodiment, and emotional processing  *  How to choose a schedule that fits your lifestyle, capacity, and season of life  We also explore timing, both within your week and within your day. From when you might feel the effects (30–60 minutes for capsules, often faster with tinctures), to how long they last, to how you can intentionally pair your microdose with practices like breathwork, journaling, movement, or prayer.

How to Make Microdosing Actually Work in Real Life

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2427665/fan_mail/new] Most people don’t struggle with microdosing because it “doesn’t work.” They struggle because the practice never fully takes shape. In this episode, I’m sharing the missing step between wanting to microdose and actually building a rhythm that supports real change in your life. We move beyond the basics of set and setting and into what it really looks like to enter a microdosing season. Not something you try once or twice, but something you live with, respond to, and grow inside of. I walk you through the four core levers that shape your experience: dosage rhythm intention embodiment These are points of relationship you learn to adjust as your body, your life, and your healing evolve. I also break down the most common ways a microdosing practice quietly falls apart, including: * when your intention stops evolving * when your dosage or rhythm no longer matches your nervous system * when embodiment is missing and everything stays mental * when one emotional experience causes you to stop * when the practice becomes rigid instead of responsive If you’ve ever felt like microdosing worked at first but didn’t last, or you’re unsure how to begin in a way that actually sticks, this episode will help you understand why. I also share more about the Live Activation happening on April 28th at 7pm, where we will take this framework and turn it into a real, personalized microdosing season together through teaching, intention setting, and guided breathwork.
