#075: My Psychedelic Mushroom Experience
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 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.
