What does it actually mean to maximize a microdose when life is busy, noisy, and far from ideal?

This episode explores how to work with a microdose in real life (with kids, responsibilities, conversations, and full schedules) without needing perfect conditions or elaborate rituals.

Rather than striving to “do it right,” this episode invites a relational approach to microdosing, one built through consistency, presence, and lived integration over time.

Your life isn’t a distraction from the medicine. It’s where the medicine learns to work.

What We Explore

• Why the pressure to be perfectly intentional often leads to avoidance
• Releasing the myth of the “ideal” microdosing container
• Maximizing a microdose as relationship, not productivity
• Holding one intention over time (instead of constantly changing it)
• Letting everyday life be the integration field

Microdosing isn’t about stepping out of life — it’s about meeting life differently.

This is a stream-of-consciousness, channeled episode recorded from inside the infrared sauna on my phone.

You’ll hear 23 minutes at 149 degrees F, my breath, my prayers, my discomfort, and what moves through me as I stay present with myself in heat and narrate my experience.

This is not a teaching episode in the traditional sense. It’s an invitation into a lived, embodied moment in my real life, there are awkward pauses and all.

Earlier that day, I worked intentionally with the sacraments, really leaning into Rose for some heart opening after a cranky morning. About an hour before entering the sauna, I took a very generous microdose with the Original Sacrament (15 drops), setting a clear intention to clear the post-Christmas mental chatter that was driving me a little batty and a moderate dose of cannabis, which always helps me really observe, think creatively, and feel my body very strongly.

I entered the sauna not to escape sensation, but to meet it and to share how microdosing, detoxification, breath, and prayer can work together as a single embodied practice.

As I sit in the heat, I narrate what’s arising in real time:

• Physical sensations and waves of discomfort
• Emotional and nervous system processing
• Prayer and breath as anchors
• Two sacred animal teachers who arrive and guide the experience
• A tender moment with “Little Ry,” who appears through a photograph I notice outside the sauna

This episode was channeled as a way of expanding how I define embodiment.

For me, embodiment now includes intentional detoxification practices, when they are approached with reverence, and presence to create a mind–body–spirit healing experience.

When we weave ritual, prayer, breath, and sacramental support into practices that are often framed as purely physical, magic can unfold.

The sauna becomes a temple, sweat becomes a prayer, and discomfort becomes information, not something to override or conquer.

You may want to listen while resting, walking, journaling, or during your own slow, intentional practice. There is no right way to receive this, only an invitation to notice what moves through you as you listen.

If you’re exploring microdosing, sacred mushrooms, cannabis, or detox practices as part of an embodied spiritual path, this episode offers a felt sense of how these elements can be woven together with care and intention.

As always, move gently, stay with your body, and trust what it is telling you!

In this episode, we explore depression through a body-based and nervous-system lens.

Rather than viewing depression as a fixed identity or purely mental condition, we look at how suppressed emotions, dorsal vagal shutdown, and immobilization patterns shape the experience in the body.

We discuss why movement, breath, sunlight, nourishment, and somatic practices are essential for shifting depressive states, and how winter itself can be a supportive season for recalibration.

We also cover what current research says about psychedelics and microdosing for mood support, the importance of integration, and how reframing “I am depressed” to “My system is in a depressive state” empowers change.

You are are invited to reflect on what your body may be holding and explore some simple daily practices to support your regulation and healing!

What if ADHD isn’t a disorder, but a message from your nervous system and an invitation to heal?

In this episode, I explore ADHD through a trauma- and nervous-system-informed lens, sharing how I have learned to regulate, focus, and create without stimulant medication.

Drawing from both science and spirit, I explain how microdosing, embodiment, and intentional ritual can help rewire the brain and bring balance back to the body.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD or simply struggle to focus, this episode will help you understand attention not as a deficit, but as a muscle you can strengthen with compassion, consistency, and a little help from the sacred mushroom.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why ADHD can be understood as a trauma and nervous system response, not just a diagnosis
• How microdosing, breathwork, and Lion’s Mane support neuroplasticity and focus
• Ways to retrain your “focus muscle” through rhythm, ritual, and body awareness
• What happens when you shift from cheap dopamine hits to meaningful nourishment
• The truth about stimulants, caffeine, and healing a sensitive nervous system

So many of us want to heal — to feel more grounded, peaceful, and connected — but the moment we try to commit to a practice, resistance appears. In this episode, we explore how devotion, not discipline, is the energy that transforms healing from a “to-do” list item into a sacred homecoming.

You’ll hear me speak about:

• The difference between commitment and devotion
• Why showing up — gently, consistently — is itself the healing
• How trauma patterns (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) show up even when we’re facing ourselves
• How devotion helps regulate the nervous system and rebuild inner safety
• How Amanita Muscaria in microdoses is helping me do this
• What it means to create sacred rhythm in your healing journey

Healing isn’t about forcing change — it’s about allowing yourself to be held as it unfolds.

Letting go isn’t weakness — it’s sacred.

In this episode, I share 4 key things I’ve personally had to release in order to truly heal — physically, emotionally, spiritually, and somatically.

We explore how microdosing, embodiment, parts work, and spiritual practice helped me finally loosen my grip on old patterns that felt safe, but were keeping me stuck.

Letting go is rarely about willpower — it’s about safety. Through a trauma-informed lens, I’ll walk you through:

• Why "resistance" is often a nervous system response, not a personality flaw
• How to meet yourself with compassion when letting go feels impossible
• The truth about control, victim identity, fawning, and avoidance — and how to gently unhook from them

This episode is a soft but honest invitation to reflect on the things you are holding tightly to.

Healing isn’t always graceful, and sometimes, it feels like everything’s falling apart.

In this episode, we explore the truth behind the healing crisis: a temporary intensification of symptoms as stored energy and patterns begin to release.

Feeling worse doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means something is finally moving.

You’ll learn why this phase is not a setback, but a necessary part of deep transformation—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and energetically.

I even share a powerful prayer you can speak outloud with me!

In This Episode:

• We define what a healing crisis is, and how plant and fungi medicines can bring the unconscious to the conscious.
• How breathwork, movement, and voice can stir repressed emotions and activate healing in the body.
• Why fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, or illness can follow deep emotional work—and how it's often a recalibration.
• Understanding the freeze, fight/flight, and safety states—and why agitation can signal progress, not regression.
• Why energetic protection and clearing practices are essential when you are doing healing work.
• My favorite practice, taking salt, for helping the body recalibrate.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m personally and professionally moving through when I'm working with my own methods.

I'm in the shadows, loving my breakthroughs, and in awe of what happens when we work with sacred medicines the breath to work their quiet magic.

Let's explore how microdosing, paired with sacred embodiment practices, can help us heal what trauma has left behind:

• Rewiring the brain through neuroplasticity
• Softening rigid thought loops by quieting the default mode network
• Meeting emotions in a titrated way — gentle, manageable, and safe
• Moving stored energy in the body with breathwork, movement, and stillness
• Replacing shame with compassion and curiosity
• Repatterning old responses in sacred space
• Working in trauma-informed containers that put safety and consent first

You’ll also hear:

• The neuroscience behind neuroplasticity and the DMN — explained in everyday language
• Personal stories from my own healing work this season
• How embodiment completes the circuit for lasting change
• Why “trauma-informed” is more than a buzzword — and what it really means in practice

And… I’m asking a big question:

Whether you’re a seasoned journeyer or just beginning to explore microdosing, this episode is an invitation to come closer — to the medicine, to your body, and to yourself.
