In this episode, I’m sharing how working with psilocybin mushrooms helped me regulate my nervous system and rewire my brain. I’ve always had a deep connection with plants, and after years of avoiding mind-altering plant medicine, I recently felt the call to explore mushrooms. The journey was transformative, but not in the way I expected. The visions weren’t out of the ordinary for me, but the real change came from how it helped me rewire my brain and nervous system, especially around a relationship I had been healing. It wasn’t about the visions—it was about creating new patterns and healing on a deeper level.
