Pregnancy

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms before your pregnancy?
Intuition, I have learned that whenever a medicine calls, it’s time.
why did you choose to ingest mushrooms during your pregnancy?
I didn’t, I had no access during the first or second pregnancy.
what benefits did you notice in your pregnancy?
Didn’t, although if I have another pregnancy I plan to free birth and micro dose.

After Birth & Breastfeeding

why did you choose to ingest mushrooms after you gave birth?
Inner child healing
did you ingest mushrooms while breastfeeding?
No
did you notice any benefits to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
Didn’t dose while pregnant
did you notice any challenges to a) yourself b) to your baby and what were the benefits when ingesting mushrooms while breastfeeding?
Didn’t dose while breastfeeding

Parenting

what benefits did you notice in your parenting that you attribute to the mushroom?
HUGE CHANGES - They taught me how to heal my inner child, in turn, that helped me move into my divine feminine, becoming softer and allowing things to flow. They also made me aware that I was parenting from guilt and how it was damaging my relationship with my oldest son. My relationship with them has shifted entirely into a loving, nurturing empowering dynamic for my babies. All this and I haven’t even started on how my relationship with myself has improved.
what were the unwanted effects or challenges of ingesting mushrooms while parenting?
None
what benefits have you noticed about your children that you attribute to the mushroom?
My oldest is more loving and less physically rigid. I can feel his body softening to my touch and I also feel like he’s more protective of me. There is still more work to do with my 8 year old but I trust everything is exactly how it’s supposed to be.

Summary

what would you like to say to other mothers & pregnant/birthing people about your own experience?
To mothers, don’t be afraid, drop into your feminine, forgive yourself and your parents, connect to your inner child so you can connect better with your kids. To pregnant mothers, your body is wise and powerful, it knows what to do, trust it, love it, listen to it, you don’t need medical intervention unless in an emergency and no matter how overwhelming it might get, birth is not an emergency. These are the teachings I have gotten from my journeys. Much love!
would you recommend this path to other people?
HELL YESS!!!
