After Birth & Breastfeeding

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
Diagnosis adhd/asd. I started to experiment after a friend of mine said she had some. I then began to read about alternative ways to ease my sensory overload and overwhelm of not only being a mother with lots of kids. But also neurodivergent. I wanted to also build a relationship with mushrooms. So began my journey. By starting small. I wanted to feel into my body instead of disassociating. I wanted to feel more space to connect with my kids.

More Patience, greater capacity, increased confidence & productivity, ability to hold their emotions and not react to all the noise, much more chilled out energy about me, less reactive to their constant needs and demands, better time management, less emotional stress and emotional Eating due to the overwhelming amount of parental responsibility, well-being and sense of self worth indrEsed which benefits my kids, less dissociative behaviour. The list is boundless!!
what were the unwanted effects or challenges of ingesting mushrooms while parenting?
I often question myself like am an addict and is this ok, self doubt if it’s right due to social Conditioning and stigma
what benefits have you noticed about your children that you attribute to the mushroom?
More regulated because I am

Summary

Life changing, revolutionary, rebellious and beautiful and worth it and if you feel the call even if you have fears like I did give it a go’
would you recommend this path to other people?
Absolutely. Only if it’s something they felt comfortable with doing.
