| after i gave birth | Before my pregnancy, I had never taken psilocybin or even heard of microdosing | At the time of my pregnancy, I was not aware of microdosing. Knowing what I know now, I will definitely be microdosing during my pregnancy, birth, & post partum | N/A | I decided to microdose at the beginning of 2021. I went through a spiritual awakening right after the pandemic, and losing my job and apartment. My mindset changed completely out of nowhere. Previously I was abusing alcohol, narcotics, & other drugs. I was reckless and often left my son in the care of my mom. I was not active nor eating healthy. My whole life was in shambles and I chose to break free. During this, I stumbled on a microdosing community. I had taken psilocybin mushrooms before, but at the time I was abusing prescription pain and anxiety medication so I felt nothing. I decided to slowly ease my way in by microdosing other plant medicines and doing tons of research. Finally, the mushrooms found me and I decided it was time. I started by taking .5 grams and it was a blissful and eye opening experience. Next thing you know, I stumble on another microdose community and I am presented with beautiful offerings of medicine. Medicine curated with love and healing intention. There are a bunch of scammers out here, but I used my intuition and now she is one of the only people I choose to go through. I chose microdosing to break free from generational curses. I chose microdosing to connect with myself and with my ancestors. I chose microdosing to be a more gentle and patient mother and person. I chose microdosing to stray from toxicity. I chose microdosing to relieve myself of trauma. I chose microdosing to ail my anxiety and depression. I chose microdosing to get sober. I choose microdosing for a better, meaningful and mindful life and I will always choose microdosing because I feel free in a world that wants to control. | 🍄 Read More |

| after i gave birth | Didn’t | Didn’t | Unrelated | When I was younger, I had crazy good experiences while having fun with psychedelics. I fully believed that they were a path to healing. I was in active addiction when I was pregnant with my first child. 3 years later, with the 2nd child I was sober however for years afterwards the healing process hadn’t really began. All the while I was doing research on the positive affects that psychedelics could have on your mental state and all around improvement in quality of life. I finally decided to try a Paul Staments microdosing protocol. At the end of week 2, I noticed how less edgy I was, more able to see things from different perspectives, and able to be more present when I was with my children. I gave up pharmaceuticals, and the western medicine approach. I began working with a holistic doctor of sorts and chose to continue to use plant medicine to guide me. | 🍄 Read More |

I, like so many women, have struggled to stay in the present moment and I felt I was robbing myself of precious time with my children. I was physically with them, but my mind and emotions were often consumed by self criticism or endless lists of to-dos. I have always had a deep aversion to conventional pharmaceuticals in most circumstances, and that was not a path I was willing to walk. I also wanted something that I could schedule on as as needed basis and did not want or feel the need for daily intervention. Ultimately, I chose to microdose in an attempt to rebuild/ renovate my though patterns. Specifically, To reset priorities and relax about things that ultimately don’t add to the quality of my life, or the lives of those in my family. As mother, I am the energetic epicentre of my family and if I am not feeling content, regulated, connected, or balanced, it is very difficult for anyone else to feel that way. Life is deeply wondrous, but one must get out of their own way in order to feel into the magical and miraculous nature of life. To stay rooted. To enhance connection to the present moment and to the wonder of aliveness. To enable the greatest possibility of allowing myself to be playful. To meet my children where they are rather than getting pulled into the torrent of the modern lifestyle which emphasizes productivity above all else. To stay connected with the sense that by being, I am enough (and just what my children need). Microdosing has made it possible for me to learn to shift lanes off of the neural superhighway of achievement focused life (which involves considerable anxiety and self doubt) and has enabled exploration of the tributaries off of that superhighway. Once I could take the exit ramps with the support of microdosing, I could more easefully arrive in radical presence with my children and in my life more broadly. Microdosing has helped repair my mothering instincts that were strategically injured by the over culture and has helped to deeply amplified my inner knowing and trust in my instincts. Dangerous stuff! | 🍄 Read More | |

A few years before getting pregnant I was prescribed an SSRI antidepressant to treat an episode of major (seasonal) depression. Aside from the decade of birth control, this was the only drug I’d ever been prescribed. It worked okay at a medium level dose for the next two years. I then became pregnant, I weaned off to give birth, then went back on it at a lower dose. Within 1 year postpartum I was up to the maximum dose of that SSRI and it was no longer effective at all. When I tried to slowly taper off of it (why take something if it’s not working?), going from 40mg down to 30mg, I was terrified to discover that while this pill was totally ineffective, I could not function without it. After 2 years, several miserable failed attempts to wean off the SSRI, and many years of researching alternative treatments, I decided to try microdosing as a way to get off the antidepressant. | 🍄 Read More |

As I could've used it to help myself stop smoking weed earlier. | My postpartum period was very challenging on the mental side of things. They say parenthood is a time when a lot of your childhood trauma comes to the surface, because you're now going to be triggered by a lot of things you haven't experienced since childhood. And oh man, that was super true for me. I grew up with a lot of dysfunction. My parents have a pretty tumultuous relationship, addiction runs in the family, neurodivergencies (I am fairly certain I have ADHD, and highly suspect I am on the autism spectrum - thanks dad!). My mother is a big source of a lot of my trauma, and I would describe it as myself having a big mother wound. I saw motherhood as an opportunity to break a lot of generational curses I saw unfolding in my mom's side of the family. I was in therapy before giving birth, but I didn't really have the same amount of time after becoming a SAHM. I got back into smoking weed for a while, but I definitely didn't have a healthy relationship with it before getting pregnant. So I fell back into old habits, a lot of it spurred on by motherhood and my unresolved traumas. I saw mushrooms and microdosing as a way to take back some control of myself. It's genuinely helped me smoke less, handle my anxieties and frustrations better, and I feel like I have so much more room to grow. | 🍄 Read More |

Taking mushrooms allowed me to enhance my awareness of my inner voice and my power - giving me the insight to truly trust myself. As a mother, that is the quintessential concept- trust your gut when it comes to your and your children’s’ safety- no matter what. | 🍄 Read More |
