Episode Description
Leslie Draffin shares her expertise as a women's microdosing and somatic guide, helping women tap into body-held trauma through various modalities including psilocybin mushrooms and embodiment practices.
• Microdosing psilocybin involves taking tiny amounts that don't cause intoxication but improve mood and brain function
• Psilocybin calms the default mode network where deeply ingrained habits live, allowing better pattern recognition
• Unlike pharmaceuticals, microdosing is used for a season rather than long-term, without addiction potential
• The womb holds trauma for many women, serving as an "energetic junk drawer" for unprocessed experiences
• The SHIFT method (Sensation, Honor, Inhale/exhale, Flow, Take stock) helps regulate emotions in just 9 minutes
• Somatic healing means decoding body sensations to understand what emotions are trying to communicate
• Women can work with cyclical awareness even after menopause by aligning with moon phases
• Sexual healing often requires addressing underlying blocks to receiving pleasure, safety and vulnerability
• Psychedelic work can be particularly helpful for treatment-resistant depression
• Those with conditions like bipolar disorder should only explore psilocybin with professional guidance
