In this episode, I open up about my personal experiences with psilocybin (psychedelic) mushrooms—how they’ve shaped my mindset, creativity, connection to nature, my love for life, and even my running journey. I discuss my experiences with "ego death" and emotional healing, to microdosing and trail running. I also include some science-backed insights and resources if you want to learn more about the benefits (and potential risks) of mushrooms.

This is not medical advice, just one person’s honest journey with a powerful and often misunderstood plant medicine. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between—thanks for listening with an open mind!
