Embodied Microdosing Podcast

Send us Fan Mail This week's episode comes straight from a live Q&A inside the Ministry, where I answered some recent questions that have come through the ministry.  If you've ever wondered whether it's safe to microdose alone for the first time, where to actually source your mushrooms, if mushrooms can help with PMS, PMDD and Perimenopause, or what makes working within a church...

Send us Fan Mail It's our first interview on the podcast! I sat down with someone who has spent years at the intersection of conventional medicine and psychedelic healing, and the conversation that unfolded was so layered. Dan Shapiro is a Physician Assistant with a deep personal and professional relationship with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain — and with the sacred mushrooms that help...

Send us Fan Mail Amanita Muscaria has a reputation. Most of it is wrong. In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood mushrooms out there, and giving you the complete guide I wish had existed when I first started working with this seriously magical mushroom. We're covering it all: How Amanita actually works — it's not a classic psychedelic, it doesn&...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to Breathwork Church. The first Sunday of every month, the ministry gathers together. And this month, I'm uploading it into a podcast episode! This is the full recording of our June session, it's a Solstice service built around one of the most ancient relationships we have: our relationship with the sun. In this episode, we explore what it means to become light a...

Send us Fan Mail You've heard the stories. You believe the science. You've listened to the podcasts. You've joined the communities. You've spent hours researching protocols, doses, strains, schedules, and success stories! And yet... you still haven't started. If that's you, this episode is for you. Today we're exploring one of the most common barriers to beginnin...

Send us Fan Mail Which one of these are you missing?  In this episode, I share the two ways I believe microdosing sacred mushrooms can support your healing and transformation. The first is learning how to live your microdosing practice in real life: bringing awareness into your body throughout the day, noticing your system, taking breaths, making small adjustments, and allowing the medicine to sup...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most common questions I hear is: “How often should I microdose for max results?” And the honest answer is… it depends. In this episode, we explore the rhythm of microdosing as a living, evolving relationship between you, your body, and the medicine. Microdosing isn’t something to do every day. In fact, the pauses between doses are just as important as the dose itself. T...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is a recording of a small group session, a live activation recorded inside the Embodied Microdosing Ministry. What unfolded in this space was a return to something simple, but not always easy: staying. Because this work isn’t just about the medicine, it’s about your relationship to the medicine. And ultimately, the remembering that you are the medicine. Through guided...

Send us Fan Mail Most people don’t struggle with microdosing because it “doesn’t work.” They struggle because the practice never fully takes shape. In this episode, I’m sharing the missing step between wanting to microdose and actually building a rhythm that supports real change in your life. We move beyond the basics of set and setting and into what it really looks like to enter a microdosing sea...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we explore one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of microdosing: set and setting. Most people get super focused on the dose, the schedule, or the protocol. But the truth is, microdosing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in the middle of your real life.  Your mindset and your environment shape the experience just as much as the medicine itsel...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is recorded in a powerful moment right before my book Microdosing Mushrooms: A Guide to Working with the Sacred for Healing goes live.  This book was not written in a perfect, inspired, uninterrupted flow state. It was written through resistance and while I was healing. In this episode, I share what microdosing actually did for me and my big thing. The Sacred Mushroom...

Send us Fan Mail After three years of writing (and 5 months of obsessively finishing, refining, and pouring myself into every page) Microdosing Mushrooms is officially one step closer to being in your hands! This episode is about crossing a threshold, both mine and yours!  I share the story of how this book began — in one of my darkest seasons, when a friend handed me the ground sacred mushroom in...

Send us Fan Mail About a month before publishing my book, everything in me feels like it’s unraveling. The spirals. The dreams. The old wounds resurfacing. The nervous system reaching for control.  If you’ve ever worked with psychedelic medicine, you may recognize this terrain — that strange threshold where clarity is coming, but first, something loosens. In this episode, I name the mess in real t...

Send us Fan Mail Winter is not the season to push, optimize, or fix yourself, it’s the season to listen, soften, and integrate. In this episode, I come to you straight from the sauna (warm, reflective, and grounded in the medicine of winter!) to share three core practices that support healing during the colder months, especially when microdosing is your primary spiritual and embodied practice. Ins...

Send us Fan Mail Slowing Down to Heal, Listen, and Move With Intention Winter invites a different way of showing up. Instead of pushing for change, this season asks us to slow down, listen, and create the internal conditions that make healing possible. In this episode, I share a teaching and guided experience from inside the ministry on how to show up for yourself this winter, through intentional...

Send us Fan Mail What does it actually mean to maximize a microdose when life is busy, noisy, and far from ideal? This episode explores how to work with a microdose in real life (with kids, responsibilities, conversations, and full schedules) without needing perfect conditions or elaborate rituals.  Rather than striving to “do it right,” this episode invites a relational approach to microdosing, o...

Send us Fan Mail This is a stream-of-consciousness, channeled episode recorded from inside the infrared sauna on my phone. You’ll hear 23 minutes at 149 degrees F, my breath, my prayers, my discomfort, and what moves through me as I stay present with myself in heat and narrate my experience. This is not a teaching episode in the traditional sense. It’s an invitation into a lived, embodied moment i...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we explore depression through a body-based and nervous-system lens.  Rather than viewing depression as a fixed identity or purely mental condition, we look at how suppressed emotions, dorsal vagal shutdown, and immobilization patterns shape the experience in the body.  We discuss why movement, breath, sunlight, nourishment, and somatic practices are essential for...

Send us Fan Mail What if ADHD isn’t a disorder, but a message from your nervous system and an invitation to heal? In this episode, I explore ADHD through a trauma- and nervous-system-informed lens, sharing how I have learned to regulate, focus, and create without stimulant medication.  Drawing from both science and spirit, I explain how microdosing, embodiment, and intentional ritual can help rewi...

Send us Fan Mail So many of us want to heal — to feel more grounded, peaceful, and connected — but the moment we try to commit to a practice, resistance appears. In this episode, we explore how devotion, not discipline, is the energy that transforms healing from a “to-do” list item into a sacred homecoming. You’ll hear me speak about: The difference between commitment and devotion Why showing up —...

Send us Fan Mail Letting go isn’t weakness — it’s sacred. In this episode, I share 4 key things I’ve personally had to release in order to truly heal — physically, emotionally, spiritually, and somatically.  We explore how microdosing, embodiment, parts work, and spiritual practice helped me finally loosen my grip on old patterns that felt safe, but were keeping me stuck. Letting go is rarely abou...

Send us Fan Mail Healing isn’t always graceful, and sometimes, it feels like everything’s falling apart.  In this episode, we explore the truth behind the healing crisis : a temporary intensification of symptoms as stored energy and patterns begin to release. Feeling worse doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means something is finally moving. You’ll learn why this phase is not a setback, but a necessar...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m personally and professionally moving through when I'm working with my own methods.   I'm in the shadows, loving my breakthroughs, and in awe of what happens when we work with sacred medicines the breath to work their quiet magic. Let's explore how microdosing , paired with sacred embodiment practices , can help us heal what trau...

Send us Fan Mail This special episode is a replay of a recent live gathering inside the Embodied Microdosing Ministry—a space for intentional practice, community, and deep self-connection. Inside this session, you’ll hear:   Two big microdosing questions answered: • Should I take my microdose before or after exercise? • Is it better on an empty stomach or with food? An introduction to your Highest...
