🤍I’m a psychologist who knew exactly what I needed to do to be healthy. And I was still falling apart.
📌January 2024: I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, sky-high cortisol, pre-diabetic. Years of pushing through stress and burnout finally caught up with me. The irony? I’d tried everything I recommended to clients—journaling, meditation, retreats, therapy, even antidepressants. I had the knowledge. But knowledge alone doesn’t create change.
🍄Through my clinical work, I came across emerging research on psilocybin-assisted therapy. I took a year off to focus on recovery, cut back work to part time, and attended a psilocybin retreat. That experience didn’t just shift my symptoms—it shifted how I related to myself entirely. The gap between knowing and healing isn’t more information—it’s safe, supported experience.
💫 The people closest to me noticed it first: a different presence, a deeper calm. Less than 2 years later, I’m the healthiest and happiest I’ve ever been. Not because I learned something new, but because I finally embodied what I already knew.
🕊️This is for the high achievers grinding at the expense of their well-being: if something feels off, you owe it to yourself to explore it fully. Not half-heartedly. Not “when things slow down.” Now.
You’re closer to your turning point than you think. Sometimes one decision changes everything.
✨I’ve built around this principle: creating safe, supported spaces where high achievers can finally experience the change they’ve been intellectually pursuing. If this resonates, I’d love to connect—link in bio.
