what surprised you about the mushroom journey?
I was surprised about where my journey has taken me as a result of consuming mushrooms. I was planning on life going one way and I ended up going the exact opposite way, but I’m thriving and living my absolute best life now. I was also surprised about the positive impact my consumption has had on me and my mentality- and I began consuming mushrooms over 3 years ago. I am so proud of the woman and mother I am today thanks to the blessed gift of psilocybin.

Pregnancy

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms before your pregnancy?
To expand my awareness and help with depression. I have experienced psychedelics like LSD but wanted to try mushrooms since I heard the experience was different. I will say that more than anything my consumption of mushrooms was the beginning of a new path of awakening in comparison with other things I’ve tried in the past which altered my perception but didn’t change the way I thought or understood life as a whole.
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms during your pregnancy?
I mainly consumed mushrooms during my pregnancy with my second daughter because I was trying to escape an extremely toxic environment. I believe I was called to my journey with mushrooms then because it took me having another child and one final full dose to realize that I am the creator of my life and it’s up to me to advocate for myself and my children. Mushrooms have connected me with myself and my three daughters, giving me access to invaluable inner wisdom that I otherwise would not have. Me before awakening was not enlightened, patient, trusting, tolerant or truly humble.
what benefits did you notice in your pregnancy?
I noticed that I was able to handle the concept of life being greater than the small sphere of things I’m in control of. I think the benefit of creating a strong mind is invaluable in motherhood, because there are so many things thrown at us that we have to deal with, yet are out of our control. Definitely began preparing me for the calling in my life to be a young mother.

After Birth & Breastfeeding

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
I took mushrooms postpartum to assist in preventing depression or any other postnatal mental health issues. Being pregnant so often in an unstable and unsafe environment took its toll on my mental health and I wanted clarity. Mushrooms saved my life because I was able to tap into my inner wisdom that everything I need is inside of me and I don’t need a partner, or to be afraid of leaving my marriage because I don’t want to be alone. 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.
did you ingest mushrooms while breastfeeding?
Yes
did you notice any benefits to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
Unfortunately I was only able to breastfeed for 3 months with my second daughter (the pregnancy I used mushrooms) due to low milk production caused by a stressful environment - so not really.
did you notice any challenges to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
Nothing attributable to mushrooms. I wanted to breastfeed more than anything but extenuating circumstances made it impossible.

Parenting

what benefits did you notice in your parenting that you attribute to the mushroom?
I think the benefits continue to show up as time goes on. When you experience the mushroom, you experience life as something greater than the constructed collective mentality we have been trapped in. The mushroom awakens the primal connection between human and earth, one that is supposed to be suppressed so we can be controlled. My parenting journey is one of constant learning. I realized I’m not god and I’m not one to control my kids. I’m here to help them foster their own personalities and become productive members of society who are not going to need to heal from their traumatic childhoods like myself and their father. I’m *mostly* patient, empathetic, curious, communicative, supportive, respectful and protective when it comes to my kids. I wouldn’t be the awesome parent I am today, showing up for my kids as a solo mom without mushrooms.
what were the unwanted effects or challenges of ingesting mushrooms while parenting?
Definitely if the dose is not a micro dose, being able to still remain able to handle any challenge and unpredictable event while dosing. With microdosing I don’t think there is an unwanted effect.
what benefits have you noticed about your children that you attribute to the mushroom?
Well, they’re incredibly smart and kind. They’re extremely healthy physically and had no issues at birth- I attribute that to mushrooms!

Summary

what would you like to say to other mothers & pregnant/birthing people about your own experience?
Don’t be afraid of a stigma. Do what is best for you and create a connection to the sacredness of life so you can understand yourself and your children better. The journey is beautiful and everything will work out as it’s supposed to. Trust your gut and let your intuition guide you. That’s what the mushroom is about- and that’s a direct parallel of parenthood.
would you recommend this path to other people?
Yes. Be ready. The greatest gift you can give yourself and your children is awareness. Don’t be afraid of the journey or the process of letting go of what you think you know. Be ready to embrace and receive universal wisdom and your life will drastically change. True freedom is in the mind but getting there requires significant effort, trust and dedication to doing better now that you know better.
