FMP, the answer to this question is a resounding YES! I worked for many organizations over my 20 year career and it became obvious to me that most of them are seriously deranged.

☠️The behaviors that employees are considering as normal are actually not only abnormal but also harmful to their health - physical and mental ☠️

☢️ Office Politics = Bullying + Manipulation + Emotional Abuse ☢️

Research has shown that individuals with narcissistic and psychopathic traits have above-average success when it comes to climbing the corporate ladder.

The culture of organizations had been shaped by the exact same people who thrive in it.

In addition, the anonymity that an organization provides allows for bad actors to grow in the fullness of themselves and behave in ways that would be at best frown upon in another setting. 

Egocentrism✔️

Lack of empathy ✔️

Disregard for the rules ✔️

Lack of accountability ✔️

Manipulative ✔️

Controlling ✔️

🤔The rest of us have only a few choices: adopt the same behaviors, endure the abuse, or leave🤔

Most institutions in the Western world had to quickly adjust to the new reality following the #metoo and #blacklivesmatter movements. None of these institutions suffered from these new behaviors, despite the scale and pace at which they unfolded.

However, 10-12 years ago, most of us could not have imagined that we could operate under these new rules, so quickly and seamlessly.

So why would it be different for emotional abuse in the workplace (and elsewhere)? What make us believe that “we” can’t change that? We don’t have to believe that manipulation, abuse and disrespect are the prices to pay for prosperity, stability and progress as an individual and as a society.

If Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai, to only name a few, were able to have a vision of a widely different world despite the tremendous challenges they were facing, why couldn’t we? In the grand scheme of things, asking for respect in the workplace can’t be more difficult to obtain than freedom.

We would be horrified today to witness behaviors that not that long ago were routines and widely accepted. I recently watched “She Said”, a wonderful movie on the Harvey Weinstein debacle and the birth of the #metoo movement. To think that for decades he acted unimpeded, while hundreds of people knew about his crimes and that The FBI even opened an investigation (but District Attorney Vance decided to shut it down. This being obviously totally independent with the fact that Weinstein donated to Vance’s reelection campaign🙄) seems absolutely out of this world. But it did happen, in our lifetimes, not 50 years ago, not 30 years ago, but only 5 years ago. If this had not been under the umbrella of an institution, Weinstein would have been indicted as a sexual predator decades before. But the entire system thought they needed him, that they could not talk, that “it was the way it was”, that they were powerless.

We need to ask ourselves who are benefitting from our obedience and silence. Not the victims (or survivors if they are on the other side), but the perpetrators. I hear the “not rocking the boat” argument and I will counter: what if it was our son, daughter, mother, father, sister, brother and so on? Would we be so silent? Would we be ok with knowing that everyone around them stayed silent?

Are we really OK thinking that some employees commit suicide, have depression, anxiety, stomach ulcer, and other niceties because we don’t want to rock the boat? Because “it is what it is” ? Because “survival of the fittest”? Because “no gain, no pain”?

As adults we teach kids to stand up to bullies, what are we really doing ourselves?

I strongly believe that we deserve better workplaces (and better educational institutions, religious institutions, etc…) and that we won’t have to trade of prosperity or even stability for it. No reason justify us tolerating bul

• Let’s focus on how we want to feel in 2023 (versus the traditional depressing goal-setting)
• Recovering one’s Authentic Self is not for the faint of heart.
• First, we will have to look at the conditioning that we are operating under.
• Second, we will have to release our many, many, many layers of conditioning.
• Third, as we become more authentic, some relationships (and goals) will fall apart.
• The first thing to feel more positive emotions is to calm our nervous system.
• Taking supplements, microdosing psilocybin, moving our body, walking outside, cutting alcohol and cigarettes, sleeping well are the basics for a calm nervous system.
• Start with the intention of being calm, at peace, filled with positive emotions.

📖The Best Book to Uplevel Your Life☀️
⛔ Conquer your hidden #fear and take life to the next level 🚀

😎Key Takeaways:
📖Most of us are passionate about fulfilling our #potential  in every aspects of our lives;However, how many of us will actually achieve what our unique abilities could mak e possible?

📖In #TheBigLeap, Gay Hendricks states that we all have an unconscious maximum level of #happiness  we allow ourselves to feel;

📖We all have an internal thermostat for our level of #love , #success , #creativity , and that thermostat stops at some point.

📖When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will likely #selfsabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back into the old, familiar zone where we feel secure.

📖We need to dismantle the foundational unconscious #beliefs  that set the upper limit on the thermostat.

🍄 If you are interested in knowing more about me, you can visit my website, https://peggyvandeplassche.com/ and subscribe to my weekly newsletter  https://peggyvandeplassche.substack.com/

📖Four hidden beliefs are behind and need to be dissolved; Feeling fundamentally flawed; Disloyalty and abandonment; Believing that more #success brings a bigger burden; The crime of outshining;

📖Usually one or two of these beliefs are more prevalent, but the four of them are present in any of us.

📖#awareness is the main tool that will help us to bring to light the flawed beliefs that are at play in our lives.

📖Several #behaviors signal us that we are “upper-limiting” ourselves; #worry ;
#criticism and #blame ; Deflecting; Squabbling; Getting Sick, Getting Hurt;

🍄 If you are an #agent  #publisher  #producer  or psychedelics professional interested in a collaboration, you can contact me at peggy.vandeplassche@gmail.com

📖#microdosing #psilocybin has really helped me by increasing my awareness related to unhelpful behaviors, and by increasing and deepening the aha moments linked to #limitingbeliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors.

📖The author uses tools such as #journaling and #positiveaffirmation to dismantle the limiting beliefs that keep us operating at a lower level than our Zone of Genius;

📖#tapping , #Sedona release, #hypnosis , #coaching and #guidedmeditation have helped me releasing my limiting beliefs, especially in combination with microdosing #psychedelics .

#tapping  meditation (EFT) is as a wonderful tool to get rid of #limitingbeliefs and patterns;

It is a powerful #stressrelief technique, often referred to as an #alternativetherapy for #anxiety  post-traumatic stress disorder (#ptsd  ), and other conditions;

Researchers have shown that #eft  tapping lowers #cortisol  (the #stress hormone) by 43%.

Healing your body, harnessing the power of your mind, recovering from burnout, or transforming your relationship with money can be addressed with tapping; 

By tapping on certain meridian points with your fingertips you can restore balance in your body and mind to resolve physical and emotional issues;

#tonyrobbins is a big supporter of tapping;

I like to combine multiple avenues for tapping; with a practitioner, via digital courses, via an app, podcasts and YT. It gives me flexibility and great results.

For awesome results, I have been combining microdosing psilocybin and visualization, with tapping. 

Tapping can be helpful in multiple situations; 1) when confronted with the daily irritants of life; 2) in the context of limiting beliefs or repeated negative patterns;

I tap pretty much every day, and I have experienced tremendous changes in my life thanks to EFT.

😀 Overall, when it comes to work, we are all after the same few things; fun, money and impact; Here are 6 ways to bring more joy at work

😀 Reframing Your Perspective; work is a sum of moments. It is not just one big monolithic situation, but a combination of hundreds of interactions, activities, places and people. Bring your attention on what you like, versus what you don’t like;

😀 Changing Your Lexicon; there is power in the words you use. Your subconscious direct your attention towards any situations that support your expectations. Upgrade your vocabulary and avoid words such as “grind”, “hustle”, if you want to change your experience; 

😀 I speak on “How to Find More Joy at Work.” Contact me to discuss speaking engagements for your company, team and clients.

😀 Right-sizing Your Expectations; work will never check all the boxes. Focus on the top 3-5 things that really matters to you and ditch the rest;

😀 Assessing Your Situation; we often have the wrong perception of what our work situation really is. You can map every regular situations that happen at work in terms of joy and energy leakage or gain.  Then make changes to increase the energy accretive situations and decrease the energy draining situations;

😀 Letting go of Your Irritants and Stressors; Irritation and stress are our unique answers to specific situations. It is impossible for you to control your environment. #tapping  is a fantastic tool to let go of the feelings of frustration, anger and stress that will inevitably pop up at work;

😀 #Microdosing Your Way to More Fulfillment at Work; by Increasing Your Mental Flexibility and Creativity, Calming Your Nervous System, and Uplifting Your Mood.

😀Lina Ismail is an entrepreneur, a former business executive, a mother, the daughter of immigrants and a global citizen;

😀She started The Catherine Wheel to help early-stage start-ups achieve their growth objectives by touching every aspects of their business and enable transformation;

😀With her clients, in her business and in her personal life, Lina builds transformation via continuous, thoughtful, incremental changes;

😀The impetus for Lina’s personal transformation came from hardships; she had the courage to go into unfamiliar territory and reach out for professional support, by way of a therapist;

😀“I can treat you for 25 years and you will get the same results than if  you are going to this Ayahuasca retreat and in 1 year you will come out of this as a different person”;

😀From her perspective, a psychedelics retreat can be massively transformational for people looking to really fully experience life;

😀There is a  paradox between all the things we absorb that are not good for our health but are socially acceptable and plant medicine that is not yet socially acceptable but has incredible benefits.

😀Lina, who was a “glass half-empty” type of person, now has a very positive outlook on life. She feels reinvigorated, with a new lease on life.

😀She believes that anyone can transform at any age with the help of a mindful psychedelics’ practice.

😀The combination of regular microdosing with a retreat every 12-18 months seems to be the optimal plan for continuous improvement towards significant transformation (meaning back into your authentic self😀).

😀The combination of plant medicine with other modalities, such as coaching, therapy, tapping, guided mediation, hypnosis, and visualization, will turbocharge the benefits coming from the psychedelics.

• “Warning: Mindful Psilocybin Microdosing might bring renewed Passion, Success and Happiness in your life.” 
• 8:00am I took my microdose of psilocybin as an edible. My regimen is 100mg of Golden Teachers as edible (chocolate) from Monday to Friday, on an empty stomach. I set my intention as I take the dose;
• 8:45am I felt great and relaxed, even knowing that I had a very busy day ahead, which pre-microdosing would have sent me into full anxiety-land.
• 8:50am I squeezed a short tapping meditation focused on my intention “du jour”. The combination of microdosing with modalities such as tapping really turbocharge the results. I can better, deeper and faster reprogram a more beneficial mindset, aka passion, success and happiness!
• 10:00am I had a great business call. In 60 min, we reviewed their business model and strategy, narrowed down their target market, defined their next steps and called it a day. They were highly pleased and I was highly energized, firing on all cylinders.
• 11:00am I worked on writing my weekly newsletter for the past hour. Great flow, great ease and great creativity!
• 12:00pm I worked for the past hour - very productive and relaxed. No pink elephants  They would have showed up by now!!
• 12:55pm I had my lunch, went for a quick walk and got ready to jump on a zoom interview. Felt calm, clear and centered !!
• 2:00pm The interview went very well. It has been 6 hours since I took my daily dose of psilocybin (150mg). As you can see it was a very productive, happy and relaxed day without any pink elephants flying from the sky

Welcome back to The Microdose Diet a newsletter about personal and professional development using alternative medicines, such as microdosing psychedelics. 🍄

Today is a special day for me; it is the 29th anniversary of my brother’s passing. He was 22 when he was killed in a motorbike accident, in what, I can now say in retrospect, were very unlucky and trivial circumstances. There is a reason why I am sharing his story. We often don’t think much about the consequences of our actions, especially when these actions are deemed “legal” and “socially acceptable”. However a word or an act made on autopilot can have tremendous implications in our lives and those of others. These decisions, often taken mindlessly, can generate outsized outcomes.

Welcome back to The Microdose Diet a newsletter about personal and professional development using alternative medicines, such as microdosing psychedelics. 🍄

Beliefs are an interesting thing; most of them come from our childhood, our environment, society in general, and very rarely are beliefs something we actually actively decided to accept by and for ourselves. Religion is a great example. One is born in a religion and naturally makes it theirs; people seldom question what religion would have been the best match for them. A large part of this comes from the fact that this non-choice happened in childhood, when very little agency is given to children. But what about questioning our beliefs as an adult? 

I started doing just that with the beliefs I felt were not very empowering to me, such as “Life is more difficult for women”. This belief has been backed by tremendous amount of data over years, decades and centuries; we can say that this is not a belief, this is reality, this is truth. However, regardless of this evident true true, this belief is not helping me in living my life to the fullest. On the contrary, it is hindering me, bringing me down every time I am launching myself in a new (ad)venture, reminding me that “as a woman, this will be an uphill battle for me”.

But what good is a belief, no matter how true it is and has been, if it not serving you?!

🙏Before we dig right into it I want to mention to you, Dear Reader, that Lise and I have known and worked together for many years.

I have been playing with writing on gaslighting for a while now, and the nudge I needed happened to me the night before I started this newsletter. For the longest time I believed everything I was told. I could not see through the lies, BS and manipulations of others. I don’t tend to lie, even white lies I do my best to avoid (which sometimes put me in “interesting” situations I have to admit), so I assumed, wrongly, that people were operating along the same lines.

Thankfully, once again for me, millennials, especially millennial women, put in focus these gaslighting behaviors for what they truly are - misbehaviors. After decades of passivity and guilt, I started questioning what I heard and what I was told, by the media, but also by the people “close” to me. And I realized that there were many people exaggerating their accomplishments, turning tables and plain lying.

The stories below are cautionary tales that if you are not careful you will end up being caught up in guilt, smallness, and misinformation by unscrupulous manipulative people! Hopefully you can follow the same easy strategies to avoid the smoke and mirrors and see right through the BS.

Listen to this post and get the upper hand on gaslighters! 🙌

👩‍⚕️ How to Combine Alternative Therapies with Mainstream Healthcare for better results

I wrote and spoke quite a bit about my doubts regarding the healthcare system in North-America and Europe. My cynicism is mostly due to the massive conflicts of interest and incoherence existing in the space, making patients’ best interest, more often than not, an after-though. If you want to see an extreme example of that dynamic I recommend the drama Painkiller which explores America's opioid epidemic. 

Regardless of this very dire state of affairs, medical professionals still hold clout with most patients. This is why the power of the white coat could and should be harnessed to put back patients’ health and wellness at the center of the equation. Health workers may not be able to change the systemic flaws of the healthcare machine but they can use their considerable influence on the people they care for to maximize their chances of recovery.

From the placebo effect, to psychedelics, tapping meditation, autosuggestion, NLP, and visualization, medical professionals have an array of alternative medicines at their disposal that they are not using enough, or at all, to help their patients heal better and faster. Considering the power of their authority it is a missed opportunity for everyone. Below are some of the tools that could easily be incorporated to improve the results of our healthcare system. And great news for the taxpayers, they are free or cheap💸

I strongly believe in the value of Western Medicine, despite its focus on disease versus health, its incoherence, its massive conflicts of interest and its difficulty of access in North-America (yes, including Canada). However, we, patients, shouldn’t have to choose between alternative and mainstream medicines. One could easily augment the other, improving results and reducing costs. Today, patients (and medical professionals) interested in alternative options are left to their own device to research, train, and access therapies that could provide them with relied and healing. This is not the way to go.

We all agree that our minds are very powerful, so let’s make the most of them in a strategic and beneficial way for every last one of us!!

Many things rob you of your energy and some of these things are actually more leakages than vampires.
If you desire more in your life (or simply more life), carefully read the list below, be on the lookout for the ones that apply to you, and be ruthless about eradicating them.

🧺Clutter and Dirt
📝Unfinished Things
📚Old Broken Stuff
🍕Nutrition and Digestion
🛏️Sleep
💤Monotony
🪑Sedentary Lifestyle
🏪Places and Activities
🧩 Being fragmented
🧠Busy Mind
😡Out-of-control Emotions

Now that you have a great overview of the energy vampires acting up in your life, if you start by reducing even by only 10% the energy leakage in three of the categories above you will already be in a way better place. And the more space and capacity you create, the more opportunity to move further along on the path of more and better energy to play with.

Good Luck!

Welcome back to The Microdose Diet a podcast about personal and professional growth using alternative medicines, such as microdosing psychedelics. 🍄

I usually write about “magic” mushrooms and their ability to rewire our brain and calm our nervous system. However, adaptogenic mushrooms are pretty amazing too!    

Adaptogenic mushrooms are a group of fungi known for their potential to help the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. These mushrooms, such as reishi, chaga, cordyceps, and lion's mane, are typically used in traditional medicine practices, particularly in Asian cultures.

You can find them at your regular health store. I would not recommend buying supplements online due to high percentage of counterfeits. I take adaptogenic mushrooms, as tinctures, everyday mixed in my morning smoothie. You can also consume adaptogenic mushrooms as teas, and capsules.

Edibles often combine psilocybin (magic mushrooms) with adaptogens to boost their respective effect. A classic combination is psilocybin + lion’s mane to improve cognitive abilities. If you want to learn more about the microdosing products I am working on, check out my website and put yourself on the waitlist.

Adaptogens are considered non-psychoactive, meaning they do not produce hallucinogenic or mind-altering effects. Instead, they support overall well-being, boost the immune system, and provide various health benefits.

Let’s check out the awesome benefits adaptogenic mushrooms can bring you!

🧘Stress Reduction
🧠Improved Mental Clarity
💚 Immune Support
🏃Energy, Vitality and Physical Endurance

I shared my thoughts on stage at the Wonderland Conference on “Microdosing Psilocybin for Executives and Entrepreneurs” and on “Conscious Businesses”. 

Both are very much linked; #entrepreneurs  and #executives  who microdose are not only more mentally healthy and performant they are also more mindful and present, at work, at home and everywhere in between. 

Thus making professional (and personal) decisions from a new elevated perspective, acting not reacting, off their past autopilot and fearful responses. This is why #microdosing psilocybin is so important and impactful for the corporate world and the world at large.

Top 3 takeaways from the conference:

🧗‍♂️ Correlation between Psychedelics, Mental Health and Longevity

👨‍💼Lobbying, Veterans, End of Life Care and Civil Disobedience

🧠A flurry of actors, approach, products and businesses for one common reality

The conundrum of healing ethically and scaling profitably in an uncertain regulatory environment.

Last week I attended and spoke at The Cannabis & Psychedelics Investment Summit in NYC. This event is targeted to family offices and private investors who have mostly already been active in the space. On the back of Wonderland it was interesting to compare and contrast the perspectives. Some of the same themes emerged; 1) importance of preparation and integration in psychedelics’ journeys; 2) correlation between psychedelics, mental health and longevity; 3) the scalability and profitability challenge.

My panel on “Psychedelics and Pharma: Investing into the Future of Medicine and Brain Health” brought some colors on what investors such as Shelby Clark of Lionheart Ventures and Vitaly Pirotsky are looking for in companies when pondering investments. Entrepreneur Michael Rubinov who founded 3R Pharma shared his perspective on what makes potential investors in his company tick.

Ideally engage in these practices 2-3 weeks before you start microdosing, so you are clearer when you introduce psilocybin.

🍎 Detox Your Body
🧽 Clear Your Mind
🧹 Clear Your Space
👄 Upgrade Your Language
💡 Set An Intention
Intention is your why, goals / objectives are your how.

Hopefully you will stick to most of these practices and make them part of your daily life. You are now ready with plenty of room to bring on great things and people in your life! 😄 It is the perfect time to start microdosing! You can get more details around how to microdose, the benefits of microdosing and what a day in the life of a microdoser looks like in my previous videos.

How do you disrupt yourself in order to bring a shift significant enough that your life will be back on the right rails towards your own success, passion and happiness?

Starting to microdose psilocybin might seem to you like a tall order. The stigma associated with psychedelics might feel overwhelming, or you might be afraid of being high, of breaking the law and/or of potential side-effects for your health. Maybe you don’t know where to buy quality products and what protocol to follow. Perhaps you just have never taken the time to start!

I believe The Holiday season is the best time for you to start microdosing psilocybin for multiple reasons. Read on and see for yourself!

In addition to the aforementioned questions, below are some questions for you to ponder - I will do the same! Journaling is a perfect way to reflect.

• If I continue on this trajectory, what will my life look like in 5 years? In 10 years? Is that picture uplifting?
• What do I wish I had done in 2023? What do I wish I hadn’t done?
• What do I wish I had felt?

There were a few principles I understood correctly:

• Incremental changes will only bring you incremental results, 
• Assessing what you desire based on where you currently stand / what you currently have is a very limiting approach,
• The first thing that needs disruption is yourself. Not your career, marriage, weight…it is your core being that needs to be shaken up.

In the last few months I have come to the sad realization that many of my relationships were unhealthy, and more precisely narcissistic. When you think about it for a minute it does make a lot of sense. Like many, I was conditioned to be a people-pleaser, a giver, so logically takers and self-centered selfish individuals absolutely love me.

🧹 Preparation: Clear your body and your space as much as you can in the days and weeks prior to microdosing. The cleaner your body, mind and environment the more room for the magic to unfold!

🧠 Intention: Think about what you would like to see transform in your life with the help of microdosing. Is it more calm, more success, more passion, more happiness? Connect to your intention as you microdose.

💊 Regimen: I recommend taking 1 cap every 3 days in the morning for 3 weeks. Then for the next 3 weeks take 1 cap every other day. If you want more oomph, for the next 3 weeks, take 1 cap from Monday to Friday. Take a 3 week break. Rinse and repeat as you see fit! Listen to yourself.

✍️ Integration: If you want to maximize the results of microdosing I recommend combining it with additional practices, such as journaling, tapping meditation and guided visualization. If you want more guidance pre-order my book “The Microdose Diet” on Amazon.ca or Amazon.com. You can also add yourself to the waitlist for the online course.

📆Embrace a Balanced New Year: Breaking Free from New Year's Resolutions

Learn more about the research behind the pitfalls of New Year’s resolutions and discover helpful strategies to help you navigate 2024.

The Overs - overworking, overachieving, overthinking, overexplaining, overgiving, overcommitting, and overaccommodating - are coping mechanisms aimed at creating psychological safety.

High-achievers acknowledge the negative impact of overfunctioning but justify it as necessary for staying "relevant" or "on top." However, overdoing harms our well-being.

Surprisingly, a 2018 meta-analysis revealed no correlation between actual performance and the perfectionism typical of overachievers. 

To break free from the grip of the Overs in the coming year, it's essential to recognize them as safety-seeking mechanisms. 

Here are some strategies to help you overcome overdoing in your life:
🤗 Heal Your Feelings Of Being Unsafe
🚧Set New Boundaries
🛑Differentiate Between Danger and Dislike
🫅Be Your Own Authority

As we embark on the New Year, let's challenge the notion that doing more is always better. Growth is indeed desirable, but true progress lies in understanding the role of fear in driving our behavior. By cultivating a conscious awareness of our brain's mechanisms, we can build a lasting sense of inner security – the ultimate goal for the year ahead.

I know some of you might be cringing already, ready to jump at my jugular while screaming that women are the victims of the patriarchy, not men. The reality is that the two statements are true; Men and Women are both short-changed by the patriarchal system. This is not a zero-sum game with one being exclusive of the other. Whether a “They”, a “She” or a “He”, patriarchy is not helping anyone.

Check out the data below and think again if you believed that our current system is a system promoting success, passion and happiness. 

🔒Jail
🍸Addictions
🧠Mental Health
🎓Education
👨‍👧‍👧Family Life
💣 Extremism

As always there is more than meets the eye when it comes to our society. Yes, on one hand, positions of leaderships in government, corporations, and everywhere in between are still mainly held by men. But on the other hand, behind the headlines of CEO billionaires, the overall picture is not that resplendent for gentlemen.

Contrary to popular misconceptions, psychedelics are not a shortcut to instant enlightenment or a magic pill for all of life's problems. Instead, they are a catalyst, an amplifier that can significantly augment other practices, leading to greater success, passion, and happiness when used intentionally and responsibly.

Microdosing psilosybin + alternative practices = Optimal abilities to:
🧠Rewire the brain 
🧍Calm the body
😟Master emotions
🔋Raise energy level

It's essential to emphasize that working with psychedelics requires a strategic and holistic approach.  It's not enough to simply ingest psychedelics and expect instant transformation. Instead, it's crucial to have a well-thought-out protocol in place, incorporating preparation, ongoing support and integration.

The Microdose Diet protocol will guide you through all the steps from microdosing psilocybin to preparation, ongoing support and integration practices.

On another note, the quality of the psychedelic product is paramount. It's essential to source psychedelics from reputable suppliers who adhere to strict quality control standards to ensure purity, potency, and safety.

Unlike many other substances, psychedelics are non-addictive, and it's virtually impossible to overdose on them.

In conclusion, psychedelics are not a panacea or a magic pill. Rather, they are a potent amplifier that can enhance existing practices and accelerate personal growth.

⛓️Breaking Free from the Illusion of Perfection
Among the plethora of societal myths, "You Can Have It All" stands out as one of the most insidious forms of gaslighting, especially when considering the expectations placed on women.

🤥“You Can Have It All” = The Ultimate Gaslighting
The notion that women can (and should) effortlessly juggle a super successful career, look like a supermodel, raise wonderfully well-adjusted kids, be a fabulous spouse while being well-travelled, educated and pleasing (but still assertive) is at best damaging, at worst mental, emotional and physical subjugation. 

Want to level up your gaslighting radar? Order The Brain Power Microdose to get that extra help.

👸The Illusion of Perfection
This gaslighting is especially pernicious because it preys on women's insecurities that have been carefully cultivated since childhood (it is indeed much easier to manipulate an insecure individual, so let’s start them young!), as well as societal expectations. It suggests that any failure to meet these unrealistic standards is a personal failing rather than a systemic issue. 

🤷‍♀️Manipulated into Obedience and Conformity
Moreover, the "You Can Have It All" gaslighting undermines the concept of choice and autonomy. The pressure to conform to this ideal leaves little room for individuality or self-expression.

Need a little help on how to break free from gaslighting? Pre-order The Microdose Diet for a guide to do just that!

🔓Reclaiming One’s Freedom
Opting out of this destructive cycle doesn't mean settling for less; rather, it's about rejecting the false promises and unrealistic expectations that have been imposed upon women. It's about redefining success on one's own terms and prioritizing fulfillment and well-being over external validation.

🙅Mismanaged Psychedelics Can Quickly Become A Liability for Organizations

As you know,  I am a fervent advocate for the strategic and mindful practice of psychedelics for performance and mental wellness. However it is difficult for me not to recognize that the Psychedelic Gentrification is making things quite complicated for organizations…

🦸‍♀️Roles

🧭Responsibilities
Revising Policies and Communication:
- Drug Policies
- Workplace Handbooks
- Communication
- Legal Insights
- Taking Responsibilities
- Compassion
Educating Employees on Best Practices:
- Mindful Practice
- Quality Products
- Strategic Protocol

☣️Risks
Legal Risks:
- Federal Prohibitions
- Compliance Challenges
- Class Actions
- Employee Safety
- Reputation Risks
Health Risks:
- Occupational Hazards
- Potential Consequences

Navigating the presence of psychedelics in the workplace presents a significant challenge for board members and managers. Leaders have a critical role to play in addressing the presence of psychedelics in the workplace. By assuming responsibility for implementing best practices, revising policies, and effectively communicating with employees, they can mitigate potential risks while fostering a safe and supportive work environment. It is essential for board members and managers to approach this challenge with diligence, compassion, and a commitment to promoting employee well-being and organizational success.

It's a common refrain in the personal and professional development world – just think you are “it” already and everything will magically fall into place. But if you've ever tried to flip the switch on your mindset, you know it's not always that simple.

Here's the thing: mindset isn't just about your thoughts. It's about the entire belief system that shapes how you perceive and interact with the world around you.
It's the lens through which you view life – including your emotions, feelings, soul, energy, and even your unconscious mind, which silently pulls the strings behind the scenes. 

Now considering that the mind is only a portion of who we are, and that the conscious mind itself is the tip of the iceberg when compared to the unconscious mind it is no wonder that your mindset work focusing on the conscious mind has seen moderate results at best. 

✅From Incomplete to Holistic
✅From One to Many
✅From Traditional to Innovative
💯Comprehensive Approach
🧰Best Tools in the Toolkit
🍄Ready to Take the Plunge?

Feeling stuck in the endless loop of chasing after that elusive perfect mindset? It's time to shake things up with the Microdose Diet. Bid farewell to those empty affirmations and embrace real, tangible progress. Your future self will be grateful for the change.

The Microdose Diet is waiting  for you! The book can be pre-ordered today, the waitlist for the masterclass is already open and the Brain Power Microdose is available in Canada & in the US. I also speak on this topic at conferences and private events.

Now, are you ready to jump in?!?

“Why don’t you just publish a viral video?!”

“Why don’t you just go on Oprah?”

When things are not what they seemed to be you can waste a lot of time and resources.

👍Going Viral on Social Media Platforms
📺Public Relations and Media Will Sell For You
🧑‍🤝‍🧑The Real Value of Followers

There is a lot of misconception when it comes to marketing especially social media marketing for emerging platforms.

What was a great option for a company even 2 years ago is already not relevant anymore. 📇

It is important to have a social media presence for credibility and visibility.

The question of the ROI however should be asked (and answered!) more often.

In recent years, microdosing psychedelics has surged in popularity, particularly among women seeking new pathways to wellness and personal growth. 

Below are the top 3 reasons women are increasingly turning to this practice:

😌 Reason Number 1: Enhanced Emotional and Mental Wellbeing

Research and anecdotal evidence suggest that microdosing may help diminish symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, which disproportionately affect women. 

💡Reason Number 2: Boost in Creativity and Problem-Solving

Creativity isn't just about art—it's also about innovating ways to tackle life's myriad problems. 

⚖️Reason Number 3: Menopause and Hormonal Balance

By modulating the serotonin system in the brain, microdoses of psychedelics might offer a new kind of equilibrium without the side effects associated with traditional hormone replacement therapies.

As we continue to peel back the layers on how psychedelics can influence our neurochemistry and life experiences, it's becoming clear that microdosing holds particular appeal for women seeking gentle yet effective transformations. 

It’s about more than just symptom management; it’s about reclaiming a sense of agency over one's mental health and creative spirit.

Books provide fabulous insights on topics we might not otherwise learn about. Understanding how to spot narcissists and narcissistic behaviors, as well as how to handle these bullies, is definitely a subject worth knowing more about.

🫢“It’s Not You” by Dr Ramani Durvasula
This book is great to educate yourself on narcissism. 
- Love Bombing,
- Death by a Thousand Cuts,
- Difficulty with Relationships.

🤺"Slay the Bully" by Rebecca Zung
This book is great when you have to negotiate with narcissists. 
- Baiting,
- Exploitative Behaviors.

🐐“Growing Up as the Scapegoat to Narcissistic Parents” by Jay Reid
Illusion of Grandeur,
Isolation,
Control.

These behaviors when taken individually might not raise the alarm but put together start to show a very different picture. These 3 books will give you a great education on detecting and handling narcissists. If you don’t know the patterns you are likely to become collateral damage.

I want to leave you with some food for thoughts…Narcissists have a special knack at picking their victims. They rarely go for well grounded, confident, assertive people. Now the question for you is: “Do you have narcissists in your life? What made them pick you? What do you want to do about it?”

High self-worth is the best antidote to narcissists. Not only will they less likely be attracted to you (a big win), but when faced with one you will without any doubt see them for what they are and continue on your merry way. 

The Microdose Diet can help you with that!

Unlock Your Full Potential: Embrace a Body-Mind-Spirit 360 Approach

I have been a personal development enthusiast (some might say addict) for more than 25 years and this is something I wished I had learnt earlier: to be successful, really successful you have to enroll your mind, for sure, but also your body and your spirit.

Here’s why a Body-Mind-Spirit 360 Approach is essential.

🧍Healing the Body
Our bodies store our traumas.

😇 Enriching the Spirit
Spiritual growth supports emotional, mental, and social development, providing a deeper foundation for overall personal growth.

🧠 Nurturing the Mind
Intellectual growth, emotional regulation, and mental clarity are vital, but they are just one piece of the puzzle.

🍄The Role of Microdosing Psychedelics
Microdosing psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, has emerged as a powerful tool for supporting mind, body, and spirit in personal growth.

By adopting a Body-Mind-Spirit 360 Approach, you create a strong, interconnected foundation for growth. You’ll find that your efforts in one area will enhance the others, creating a synergistic effect that propels you toward your goals with greater ease and joy.

So, as you continue your journey, remember to nourish not just your mind, but your body and spirit as well.

Discover the Power of Self-Worth in Transforming Your Life

Complimenting one seemed to take something away from another.
It felt like we were operating in a zero-sum game where complimenting one means criticizing another.

We’ve all felt that sting when a friend or coworker gets complimented, whether they are present or not.

In response, I often see the protective mechanism of overcompensating from the “witness” of the compliment.

I’ve been caught in similar situations, thinking that a compliment not addressed to me was an attack. 

Usually, compliments are just that—compliments.

So why do we feel “less than” when someone else is complimented in our presence?

The answer is self-worth, specifically a wobbly intrinsic self-worth.

I realized that high well-being and ethical success depend on one’s level of intrinsic self-worth. In The Microdose Diet protocol, the highest intention one can have is to increase their self-generated self-worth.

I lead you through a 90-day program that supports this intention and enables you to go to the next level of self-worth.

The best way to lead a successful, passionate, and happy life is to have a high degree of self-worth.

People with high self-worth are grounded, self-confident, and don’t need to diminish others to elevate themselves.

Life is much more pleasant when you trust yourself and know you can do it, whatever “it” is.

There’s no need to feel threatened when someone else is complimented. You know your worth is independent of others. And that freedom, my friend, is an incredible feeling!

🛣️Breaking Free from Emotional Programming to Follow Your True Path

There’s a piece of advice that always makes me cringe: “Follow your gut!” This advice assumes that your intuition is perfectly calibrated.
But what if your gut has been programmed to send you the wrong signals?
When your intuition has been shaped by years of living up to others’ expectations, it can send you into a tailspin of guilt, shame, and confusion. 
Instead of moving toward what lights you up, you stay in the safety of what you know, even if it’s not what you need.
So, how do you recalibrate your radar?

🔒Releasing the Emotional Charge
Therapy alone isn’t enough to break free from the emotional charges that keep you stuck. This is where somatic tools come into play. They work on a deeper level, helping to release the emotional weight you’ve been carrying, sometimes for years, maybe even decades.
I didn’t develop The Microdose Diet just for kicks—I created it because I was tired of feeling good only when I was being the “good girl” I was programmed to be.
I knew I needed something more, something that would help me create space in my life to finally breathe, to finally be me.
It’s about deprogramming those outdated emotions that keep you stuck, and reprogramming them to embrace what you truly deserve.
It’s about stepping into a life that’s aligned with your true self, free from the constraints of what you’ve been told you should be.
You have nothing to lose except the outdated programs that no longer serve you. 
Recalibrating your gut isn’t just about following your intuition; it’s about balancing it with reason, free from the chains of outdated programming.

🪄Two magical products serendipity brought my way: Soulera & VK from NuYgen

If you are listening to this podcast you want MORE of your life, and to get MORE in your life you need to be 💯 !

In the same vein of life-changing products I came across 2 products that have really been game changer for me. And no I am not paid to write about them🙂

Soulera helps with stress management, and it totally delivers on that front. 

However this was not the only magic Soulera had to offer… it actually totally helped with curbing my sugar cravings.🧁 That, my friend, is almost better than stress management!!

VK is super helpful to boost your immunity and here as well I discovered another amazing effect - a fabulous cure to overindulgence in food and alcohol!! 😀

I highly highly recommend you give it a try. As always no downside here, just the opportunity to get MORE out of your life! 💪 Because let’s be honest, to get MORE out of life, you need to be at 💯!

👑Upgrade Your Identity to More Success, Passion and Happiness

Now that Summer and Labor Day are behind us, it is time to return to real life! It doesn’t have to be a drag and this year could actually be your best Back to Work yet. Really? But How?!

🪇Shake Things Up

My first advice is to shake things up. You don’t have to go back to the same routine than last year. I know, you have read that Zuckerberg dresses in the same way everyday to avoid taking needless decisions. That is why he looks like a dork and seems to really have a lot of fun in his life (yes this is ironic!).

So what about a refresh of your wardrobe, home and office decor, or haircut? You don’t have to return to your old self!🙍

👩‍🚀Upgrade Your Identity

And this is the most important part of having MORE Success, Passion and Happiness in your life: you need to have an identity congruent with Success, Passion and Happiness. And no, Mommy or Daddy jeans don’t scream Success, Passion and Happiness. Nor does the same freaking routine day in, day out.

So, are you ready to shed the same old, same old, boring, small identity that was built for you decades after decades? Yes?! Fabulous!

Now we can do something together!💃🏻

🚀Takeoff with Me

Drumroll! I launched coaching services based on The Microdose Diet protocol to help you uplevel your identity, your life and your career.

And if you are thinking “No Peggy I don’t want to take psychedelics, they are awfully bad and I am a good person”, once again fret not! I am working with the same clinic that developed the Brain Power Microdose to develop the “MORE! Microdose”, a product 100% legal, registered with Health Canada, with no psychedelics in sight, and a formulation mimicking the results of the Brain Power Microdose.

So what does it look like to work with me. First there is a start and end date: it lasts 3 months. Second, you will get a mix of support with a One-on-One Coaching package including:

- 6 Hours of Private Coaching with Peggy (aka ME!),

- 2 Bottles of Brain Power Microdose (more than enough to follow the protocol)

- The Book “MORE! The Microdose Diet.”

- The Online Course “The Microdose Diet.”

For a small investment of US$5,500. Yes you definitely are worth that, and if you think you don’t, then you really need to sign up right f#$%ing now!

If you have friends and decide that you want to do it with them, that is a fabulous idea. Nothing better than growing with your inner circle and the peer support is priceless. The length and content of the package are the same, it is just cheaper per person (Investment: US$3,500-4,000 per person based on group size). 

You can opt for the self-directed online course (several options from US$900-US$1,900) or for the book (US$18) combined with the Brain Power Microdose (US$89/bottle). If you are interested by the new M

🚨 Is Mentoring Really That Important? 🚨

I was on a panel recently, and the usual question came up: “How important is mentoring, especially for women?” And honestly… is it really that important? We’ve been spoon-fed the idea that mentorship is essential to success, but have we ever stopped to question it? 🤔

Mentoring in 2024 often feels like a quick coffee chat where someone asks, “Can you introduce me to your network and help me get a job?” before we’ve even finished our lattes. 💸

Let’s face it—mentoring today is often outdated and not actionable. Vague advice like “Work hard and stay passionate” isn’t paying the bills. 😬

Mentoring in 2024: The Quick Fix Fantasy ☕️
Senior Mentors: Outdated Playbooks, Anyone? 🏛️
Peer Power: Where the Real Value Is 💬
Sponsorship: The Rare Gem 💎
Mentoring or Bait and Switch? 🎣
Critical Thinking: Stop Following the Script 🧠

What if you could stop waiting for someone else’s roadmap? The Microdose Diet rewires your brain, calms your body, and empowers you to create your own path—no mentor required. 🚀

What’s your take—have you really benefited from traditional mentorship? Or is there a better way to take control of your career? Let’s talk! 👇

😊Building Strength from Within: How to Overcome Life’s Challenges with Grace and Authenticity

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to be resilient? Like, really resilient—not just bouncing back from life's challenges, but doing so in a way that feels authentic, aligned, and true to who you are?

😌Here’s the secret: Calming the nervous system is key.
🤗Embrace who you are (and stop comparing).
😧Overwhelm is real—here’s how to navigate it.
🏗️How to start building your resilience (and thrive, not just survive).

If you’re ready to take these ideas to the next level, microdosing might be just the tool you need to help you thrive with authenticity.

🚀 "Quantum Leap" isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a bold jump to the next level of YOU! Whether it’s a mindset shift, a habit overhaul, or a breakthrough moment, this is your sign to make big moves. 🌟

🛠 How to Start:
1️⃣ Calm Down: No big moves happen when you’re stressed or overwhelmed. Find your way—microdose, meditate, move your body, or just breathe deeply.
2️⃣ Change the Inputs: Doing the same thing won’t get you different results (Einstein said it best). Add something new—big or small—that aligns with YOU.
3️⃣ Do YOU: Forget the trends and noise. Authenticity is your blue ocean—a space no one else can occupy. Stop chasing what doesn’t matter and write your own playbook.

🍄 Curious about microdosing? Whether it’s psychedelics or The Legal Brain Power Microdose, these tools can help you calm your mind, spark creativity, and guide you toward transformative change.

💡 Your leap doesn’t have to follow the crowd. It can be in your health, relationships, career, or self-discovery—what matters is that it’s YOURS.

Let’s make your quantum leap happen in 2025! 🌊✨

Picture this: You’re on a treadmill, running full speed, day after day. You don’t pause to ask, “Why am I doing this?” Sound familiar?

That treadmill is autopilot mode—reacting, rushing, repeating. But what if you could step off? What if you could stop running, choose your path, and live a life that feels meaningful, alive, and authentically YOU?

✨ Intentional living is your ticket off the treadmill.

When you live intentionally:
✅ You own your story instead of letting others write it.
✅ You feel empowered because you’re making choices, not following the momentum.
✅ You experience life fully, not just going through the motions.

💡 How do you start?
1️⃣ Be present. Step out of autopilot. Feel the emotions you’ve buried and start choosing differently.
2️⃣ Cultivate self-awareness. Ask, What do I truly want?
3️⃣ Embrace radical honesty and responsibility. Let go of old conditioning and align your choices with your authentic self.

🌟 Imagine starting 2025 not with a to-do list, but an intention:
“I will stay calm today.”
“I will create opportunities for growth.”
“I will experience clarity and joy.”

Whether you join the waitlist for the Legal Brain Power Microdose or embrace intentional living with small daily habits (ideally both!), this is your time to unlock your potential.

🌱 Progress, not perfection. Each small step counts.

💭 What’s your intention for today? Drop it in the comments and share this post—it’s a powerful way to start living intentionally.

Let’s make 2025 your year of clarity, focus, and purpose. 🎯
